Pizzacake, it's February.

u/lugialegend233 Feb 24 '25

Yes indeed it is, and what a week, huh?

u/Brummelhummel Feb 24 '25

But captain, it's Monday

Try to focus on what makes you happiest. I know things are incredibly bleak right now, but you can't submit yourself to constantly focusing on the bad.

We appreciate you and what you contribute to us.

I backed your new game and I'm looking forward to it. Thank you for all that you do.

But what if what makes us happy is a sane and functioning federal government?

Then you picked the wrong year to stop sniffing glue

32

u/DarthRoacho Feb 23 '25

Or the right year to start.

u/ABHOR_pod Feb 24 '25

The best time to start sniffing glue was 20 years ago, the second best time is now.

It's only been a decade?!

Even for Canadians we can only survive on hockey glory alone for so long. We need some good news man. 😔

u/OneSmoothCactus Feb 24 '25

Good news for Canadians, all from the last month:

  • Multiple EU countries and the UK have publicly spoken up in our support

  • Canada has been working with the EU, UK, Japan, Mexico and other nations towards expanding and ratifying trade between us.

  • We’ve been invited to an arctic defence program by Germany and Norway including early access to two state of the art submarines designed specifically for the arctic. This is big because it represents an eager willingness by Euro and Nordic nations to develop closer military ties with us.

  • A huge chunk of inter-provincial trade barriers are being removed, making trade within Canada far easier and more affordable.

  • Because of this whole mess the Conservatives are polling lower than they have in years. PP’s parroting of Trump and bad initial response to the tariffs is really biting his party in the ass.

  • The Buy Canadian movement hasn’t slowed down. Canadian goods are selling out in grocery stores while American goods sit there. Multiple Canadian businesses have seen a bump in sales.

  • And the one I’m personally enjoying most right now: Canadians are more united as a nation than we have been in decades.

Not Canadian (Blue voter American. Please help) but I'm genuinely happy for you guys and Europe. If this country does collapse at least it won't be the end of democracy

u/OneSmoothCactus Feb 24 '25

Thank you, and I'm sorry for what your country is going through. This won't be the end of democracy and probably won't even be the end of American democracy, but you definitely need to fight for it right now. It's funny how many people I talk to see this is as a blessing in disguise. The speed and scale at which everything is happening is forcing the world to confront all the issues that have been easy to ignore until now.

People like you in the US have probably the most important and hardest job, to keep being loud and keep fighting for democracy and truth.

I really appreciate the perspective. Sometimes it's so easy to dwell on the doom and gloom and feel pessimistic about the future.

2

u/OneSmoothCactus Feb 24 '25

That's true, I fall into that pessimism myself as well sometimes. I find it helps to keep a longview of things. We may be in for a rough ride for a little while, but we'll get through it and be better as a species for it.

u/patosai3211 Feb 23 '25

I hear ya. From someone dealing with a very rough start to 2025 to another. You’re doing your best and those around you will be there for you.

Press here to repeat 2020

u/TraderOfGoods Feb 24 '25

I'm not even an artist and I feel that mood for different reasons.

Stay strong, pizza mixed with cake.

u/Montaire Feb 24 '25

It has, for me and my wife and my two girls.

Except the days when your comics help us stay happy.

At least a hundred bad days in this house have been made brighter by your comics.

Sending positive vibes from Montana, USA.

u/astralseat Feb 23 '25

Yup. At least spring happens soon. A lot more can protest when the weather is nice.

u/wakeupwill Feb 23 '25

Can we go back to living in uninteresting times?

u/Linkage006 Feb 23 '25

I've never been so tempted to hide in a cabin in the woods as I am now.

u/DamnZodiak Feb 23 '25

German election was today. We're trying our best to mimic your collapse 🙃
