Happy birthday my dear.

Not happy with the new Canadian census I had to fill out the other day They had a couple of standard questions like marriage status and number of children but I am no overly comfortable with giving my name, address, email, phone number, gender and finally gender at birth.

I am not too concerned with the current government but we do have Maple Maga waiting in the wings who thinks that the worst of Trumps actions are just dandy and they want to bring it to Canada.

That is a tough one. I get not wanting to put those things down. I know for me I would use what is on my birth certificate, but that may or may not be what they mean. I hope you find away you can deal with it that allows you to be comfortable and not outed by what you are required to put down. Hugs

I may not always agree with our current ruling party (Liberals) but at least they aren't out to destroy Canada. We are being allowed into trade agreements because of our stable government which is at risk should the Conservative party follow it's current path. Plus when you have a party that is a fan of project 2025, human rights are potentially at risk.

I find it regrettable that there is no real voice anymore for moderate Conservatives and that the right wing is going more towards extremism. I mean the leader of the official opposition refuses to get security clearance so he can do his job


As I said under our current government I feel protected but should the Conservatives get elected then I fear that my rights and protections may be at risk. Lets just hope that Canadians will choose to protect our rights and trade agreements. It's just too bad that our agreements with the U.S. are vulnerable to one man's mood.

Just got diagnosed with probable cough induced asthma today. The diagnosis sucks but maybe something cam be done about my extremely long coughs/colds.

My mum has had this for over ten years. The inhalers worked great for her in the past but her GP has taken those off her and prescribed a new one that is making her cough much worse! Apparently the old ones which everyone has been using for decades can cause cancer!

The coughing seems to be much worse in cold weather.

For me it is likely a form of occupational asthma. I used to work as a mixer in a bakery and that is when the problems started. My colds used to be normal but since working at a bakery they last 3-6 months. I'm just grateful that it seems to be triggered by colds and not all the time. If I can avoid getting colds/coughs then things are pretty normal for me.

If the asthma medication can reduce the length of my coughs then all is well.
