~Sharon Stone, a lady famed for her warm welcomes, is among the many Democrats praising this tourism ad for Quebec's Eastern Townships - because of its willingness to offer Americans a consoling hug:

I wonder. This may be one of those ads that's too clever to sell its own product. Half the tweets about it seem to be from cowering Dems saying they'd love to visit Canada but they're terrified Trump's ICE monsters won't let them back into their fascist hellhole. Especially if you're trans.
~Oh, well. There's always a bargain break in Afghanistan. I don't know whether the Taliban contracted with the same Montreal ad agency as the above, but the opening's pretty funny:

Last April, to paraphrase Carly Simon, we drove our Jeep up to Magog, Quebec to see the total eclipse of the sun. I have fond memories of the Townships growing up a couple of hours away, on the West Island of Montreal. It really is a lovely place, but like most parts of La Belle Province, if you don’t speak French it will be difficult to get by.
Uh, hmm, we all saw how welcoming Sharon Stone was in Fatal Attraction. Intentional headline.
