Not the biggest. Not the funniest. Not the most acerbic, or sarcastic, or brutally honest. Sometimes the saddest. Why are you here? Let’s not overthink it.

P.S. If you’re here because of a recent post going viral, thanks for taking the time to have a further look around the page. I try to do my best to make each piece capable of holding a little water, be worthy of your time, and not add to the online cacophony without working in a few grace notes. I hope that’s what you heard. Thanks again for reading.

Satire is a tough gig, there are always the humour impaired who read satire and think its reality. So far so enjoyable.

Then there are those, of course, who read reality, unaware that it is satire. Less enjoyable, but no less real.

Just found this Blog. Wonderful discovery! If it gets super popular, you will probably need quality help to support it but I think Canada enjoys good satire and humour, especially during these times.

It’s easy to find reasons to doubt whether the effort that goes into running this page is worth it. Detractors are, at times, thick underfoot. So comments like yours are a welcome reminder that this little project has value. I really appreciate that Lynn. Thank you.

Not very humorous, unfortunately, but extremely important knowing about the immensely important Bill Browder-Magnitsky Act scandal.
