6 March 2025 – I never meant a political blog, still would rather not. But when some other country plans to take you over, it kind of gets your attention.
It got Jeff Douglas’s attention, for example — the star of the Molson’s beer-ad rant “We are Canadian” created 25 years ago and still cherished in some aging memories.
Yeah well, Jeff is back, because Jeff, like the rest of us, is annoyed.
Here’s the updated rant.

/ 6 March 2025I remember finding the original one a little cringy, but I gotta say, this one gave me goosebumps. I AM CANADIAN!

/ 6 March 2025Maybe because the first, clever as it was, was an ad. This one is not marketing, it is personal and visceral and outraged — and obviously hits us all in a way now the original never could.

icelandpenny
/ 6 March 2025It’s such a dangerous insanity, threatening not just your own institutions & norms but, also literally threatening the very existence of my country, and creating global reverberations that will play out in ways we cannot anticipate. How does one try to address it? Insanity is impervious to logic, reason… to sanity itself.

/ 7 March 2025I can only hope that people will begin to resist strongly enough to make a difference but it’s going to be a rough road for a while. He’s already backing down on tariffs – he makes a mess wherever he goes. WHen he’s gone, I wonder how hard it’s going to be to clean it up?

/ 6 March 2025I am in the same boat, Penny. In my 12 years on this blog, I had never done political posts until last month. I am more than annoyed; I am infuriated. Ugh. Here’s another you might like.

/ 6 March 2025I’m also ‘way more than annoyed, I am furious — so incandescent with fury that, your remark makes me realize, I am very deliberately understating my language. Here, I let Jeff roar on my behalf. And, thnx for the other link
