Oh, do sit down.
LILLEY: Crown seeks to make Convoy organizers political prisoners torontosun.com/opinion/column…
Who knew heat shields on Canadian cars came off easily? Once again, Canadian Tire fixes me up in no time while I’m road-tripping. This is the slightly dramatized story of the first car adventure. brigittepellerin.com/p/come-on-baby… ttur
OK, hive mind, I’m road-tripping with the teens this week and wondering what awful fast-food item(s) I should try and review? Anything especially gross out there that would benefit from a certain Brigittian touch?
I worked with Bono a million years ago and with his daughter more recently. I'm sorry to hear of his passing. torontosun.com/opinion/column…
If you ever wonder what ”speaking truth to power” looks like, this is a great example. A clear fuck you to the hand that fed them, and for cause. Well done, South Park. youtube.com/watch?v=Rhgq37…
What a fun, interesting question.
Fun fact: the elections commissioner proposed an amendment to Bill c-65 last fall that would have closed the longest ballot loophole on signatures. Remind me: was there a reason legislation stalled in Parliament last fall? And did the CPC speak in favour of this amendment?
Agreed. If they can earn an income and pay taxes on it, they should get the right to vote. globalnews.ca/news/11299904/…
This is funny. The Sudden Weird Smile is priceless.
Early morning comedy .... This just made me LMAO 🤣 I don't know who he is but he needs his own show.
Everyone can be an armchair expert and I hate falling into this, but while I agree they deserve punishment 7-8 years seems a bit much. It’ll make martyrs out of them and we really don’t need that. cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…
La nouvelle selon laquelle Denis Coderre allait ”tourner la page” sur sa vie politique m'a mis cette mautadine toune dans la tête. La madame, était pas contente. Ça fait deux références cucul et anciennes dans le même tweet. Youppi. youtube.com/watch?v=AVzw2B…
I have a longer post brewing about how and why Poilievre thought the good people of Battle River-Crowfoot would just vote him in without asking questions. Bottom line: there is no flattering explanation. He's that arrogant. rdnewsnow.com/2025/07/22/lib…
Was just interviewed by the Houston Chronicle about my Buc-ee’s writing and now I’m tempted to do a road trip visiting all the Buc-ee’s and make a movie and a book out of it. Who wants to ride shotgun and help with the gear? brigittepellerin.com/p/son-of-a-buc…
Summer tradition: thrill rides, some water slides, lots of thrill rides, junk food and more thrill rides. These kids are ride maniacs like their mama.
Did anyone stop to think that if they hadn't reacted with shame, nobody would have noticed their affair? Also, can we not be a little more honest about the number of people who cheat and why? The hypocrisy is killing me. brigittepellerin.com/p/unrealistic-…
In book news, Bruce Fanjoy's Apple Crumble Recipe is now available on Kindle for those who prefer that option. Also in a bunch of indie bookstores across the city, where they are selling nicely. amazon.ca/dp/B0FJ7NDKTQ
Back to beating up straw men, I see.
Stopped by the car show in Carbon to see some incredible gas-powered classic cars and trucks and meet the proud owners who’ve put in the time and care to keep them running strong—just like the communities they come from. Their message to Prime Minister Carney: leave our…
After years of taking a hard edge, supporting the occupation Ottawa, calling people childish names, telling Jordan Peterson Canadians are stupid, and weaponizing apples, after years of alienating people who don’t agree with him, Poilievre has no friends. brigittepellerin.substack.com/p/why-wont-you…
Politician who built a movement by alienating everyone who disagreed with him is suddenly feeling lonely and no matter how hard I try, I don't care. brigittepellerin.com/p/why-wont-you…
