BREAKING: Neuroscientists confirm that when an ADHD partner sits frozen on the couch scrolling their phone for 3 hours while staring directly at a messy kitchen—they aren't "relaxing," they are trapped in a high-cortisol state called "Executive Paralysis."
If you get resentful watching your partner scroll while the house is a disaster, here is what is actually happening inside their skull:

When Conservatives were in power a minister was forced to resign for spending $17 on orange juice.
.@OurCommons places order for 6,000 bottles of fine wine to “maintain expected standards of hospitality” in Parliamentary Dining Room.
Stocking of wine cellar came 4 days after #Budget2026 lamented plight of “hardworking Canadians struggling to get by.”

Pierre Poilievre on 3,000 Stellantis jobs moving to the U.S.: "What happened to Elbows Up, Mr. Carney? It sounds like you elbowed those 3,000 Canadian workers in the face."
We’re so cooked. Until we get the Liberals out, we’re f*#ked

Love it!! So true
RUTHLESS! Pierre Poilievre just delivered his most SAVAGE press conference in two years.
Mark Carney compares his immigration numbers to the insane levels of Justin Trudeau. But when you compare yourself to insanity, it is insanity.
Then he goes after BROOKFIELD Profits off of Mass Immigration.
FINALLY! We are BACK BABY.

Why is the solution to Canada's housing affordability crisis ALWAYS about making it easier for Canadians to take on MORE DEBT?
Why is nobody talking about bringing HOME PRICES DOWN?
A $1 million home with a 40 year mortgage isn't affordability. It's stretching debt over four decades just to keep inflated prices alive.
We don't need bigger mortgages. We need cheaper homes.
At what point did housing affordability become about how much debt Canadians can carry instead of what a home should actually cost?

9 years of the BC NDP 😱 We have suffered and sacrificed under their tyranny. They took our Hospice from us ($8 million of our assets) because we refused to kill our patients with MAiD. We stood to defend authentic Palliative Care and we have survived 😢 Tonight we have HOPE! Hope that the new BC Conservative government will allow us to build a Sanctuary Hospice - to honour and affirm our patients lives and care for them until their natural end. ♥️
LFG
In 1st 100 days, @LDoerkson said his govt will pull an expert panel together to better understand the state of the healthcare system & will work on reviving forestrry industry. Among his first tasks will be speaking with @MarkJCarney & @ABDanielleSmith to get Pacific Link working group moving. "Our resources are the strongest hand that British Columbia holds, and we will for sure play them."

.@LDoerkson said today interest payments are "choking the economy" & commits to an independent investigation into BC's finances. Said the $1B accounting error by the @bcndp has him "terrified" at what else they might discover.

Premier-elect @LDoerkson says he begins transition into gov "with some urgency" and will launch an independent review of BC's finances on day 1.
Within first 100 days will also strike commission on how to keep hospital ERs open.

What a piece of sh*t this guy is.
Unbelievable. I’ve struggled financially as a single mom, spending every penny of my left over income, and sometimes savings, to afford daycare/after school care. And yet @Dave_Eby, with his premier salary and doctor wife, is getting it for $10/day.
This makes my blood boil.

🤦🏼♀️ he is such an evil
