I haven't always agreed with the NDP these past few years, BUT:

(Yesterday)

Mr. Jagmeet Singh (Burnaby South, ):

Mr. Speaker, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court is seeking arrest warrants against five senior Hamas and Israeli leaders. This is a step toward justice for Palestinians and Israeli victims of war crimes.

The Liberals promised to support the ICC when they voted for our motion in March, so will the Prime Minister and the Liberal government state clearly that Canada supports the ICC's work to hold all those responsible for crimes accountable?

👍👏

#NDP Leader #JagmeetSingh says #Canada should not only support decisions by the #InternationalCriminalCourt, it should also execute its arrest warrants. This comes as the #ICC is seeking arrest warrants against #Israeli and #Hamas leaders

@msquebanh Yep, the NDP is the party who has been the most vocal against Israel committing genocide. I'm glad we have them, at least

@stephanie@ottawa.place avatar

@msquebanh They also reminded the Liberals today that they had promised to respect the ICC's decision. Pff.

When we said "never again", we apparently meant "never again unless the victims aren't white and the people committing the genocide have oil".

Visit is gone and we survived. We managed to only talk about politics once and my mom stopped us pretty quickly lol

Back to calm and quiet

@driusan LOL I told the waiter behind the umbrella and it was a done deal before he realized it was happening 😂

@driusan I went to pee right afterwards 🤣

It's so hot in whyyyy.

Does anyone know of a nice, shaded and easy trail we could do this afternoon?

Hmm I'm actually slightly worried about my dad. He has started forgetting a lot of stuff, and my mom told me today that he sometimes "invent" memories.

He actually told her not long ago that "they traveled a lot with us kids"......

We were pretty poor when I was a kid, there was definitely not a lot of traveling 🤨

He wasn't the best dad, he definitely wasn't the best husband... But my mom telling me he's not "aging gracefully" is not good. She deserves the world.

Well apparently his fall on skates in the fall scared him enough that he put his name on a list to get a doctor (finally, at 68!!) and might be willing to get blood work and all. So that's at least positive.

(He thought it would take him half the time the doctor told him to get better and it ended up taking much longer because, as we knew would happen, he did too much too quickly)

There is no good faith arguing with a boomer whose sole concern is spent money.. And all change is met with "I'm too old now" and "I'll be dead soon" come oooooon lol

Me texting my mom "Where are you at now?"

My mom: "We're almost at Mirabel, looooots of trafic".

If only we could save time and money taking a high speed train from Québec City to Ottawa, heh. If only.

stephanie,
@stephanie@ottawa.place avatar

To be fair, it has now taken them 6 hours to get here with stopping for lunch and breaks... Maybe the train wouldn't be such a bad idea for them 😅

So my whole (old) team is forced to do mandatory overtime this weekend because a client decided that, after three rounds of modifications, their document needed to be delivered two days before the deadline. For reasons.

Every single long weekend, I swear.

I do not miss this, even with the more intense days at the new position.

(My coworker just sent me the "What if I told you, your failure to plan is not my emergency" meme 😆 )

Je cherche le contenu français pour voir ou écouter -- les émissions, les balados, etc. Au travail, je lis et j'écris en français tous les jours et chez moi je lis avec mes enfants en les deux langues, mais je veux améliorer ma compréhension orale. Suggestions?

J'aime les balados sur l'histoire en anglais et les émissions science-fiction et fantastique (mais pas d'horreur!), mais j'apprécie toutes les suggestions.

stephanie,
@stephanie@ottawa.place avatar

@dairpo ce qu'on fait à la maison, c'est écouter des films et des séries du Québec avec des sous-titres français pour vraiment aider la compréhension orale! Il y a de très bons films québécois sur Netflix et quelques séries aussi (il y a un filtre Canada, des fois Canadien Français)

On s'abonne aussi de temps en temps à tou.tv pour plus de choix!

Ah yes, good seeing you too, neighbour.

"What are you doing back there?! It was so loud. It's fine, but I work from home, and all day long..." "Are you digging for a pool or something?!?"

It took less than three hours, split in two periods. We also work from home, thank you.

"And that tree you took down, it was such a huge and beautiful tree, I would have relocated it"

We know, but it was taking half of our yard, and no you can't dig that up, especially on property lines.

Anyway, back to hermitting

There are starlings, a cardinal and robins in our tiny yard (the excavated dirt is very popular).

I feel like Snow White

Hmm... Is that normal? Huge raccoon is broad daylight at our neighbour's 😳

Kinda jealous of this little guy (house finch). Feasting on seeds from our bird feeder and singing on top of the world everyday.

What a life 🥰
