The Soapbox family is not terribly religious, but every Easter we gather with the girls and their partners (if they’re around) for our favourite Easter tradition: colouring eggs. This year Mr Soapbox won in the Ugly Politician category with his orange topped Trump egg. Given that you’ve already had enough of Trump, I’m posting a picture of Mr Soapbox’s prize. A sweet little Lindt chocolate bunny.
Sometimes Easter, Passover and Ramadan overlap, sometimes they don’t. But now more than ever, we must remember that we’re one big community who need to support each other. Now more than ever.
Happy Easter.

Susan on the Soapbox 
lovely thoughts, Susan, and so appropriate.
Thanks Avalon, seems to me we have to be there for each other given that some of our politicians are not.
Happy Easter to the Soapbox family and to all of you,
Thank you Public Servant Hope you had a lovely celebration too.
Bravo, Soapbox Susan.
Is is in the understanding and grappling with the commonality of our views and practices that there may be hope and shifts for us in challenging times.
Always a thank you to you.
Phenomenal: you nailed it. Happy Easter!
Happy Easter to you as well. Love the egg decorating idea and the prizes.
Rose, my prize bunny lost his ears over lunch. I’m afraid there won’t be much left of him by the end of the day:)
Lovely thought, Susan – and so apropos.
Wishing you and all the Soapboxes a happy Easter!
Liane, thank you. Every so often it’s nice to reflect on the things that bring us together isn’t it.
Take care, my friend.
Happy Easter to both Ms. Soapbox’s families, one of which is her readers and fellow strivers.
Mike, that was a lovely sentiment! Thank you.
Yay Mr. Soapbox! Happy Easter! I hope everyone has a lovely weekend no matter what you celebrate!
Linda. I agree 100%.And a Happy Easter to you too!

Judith: you’re very welcome. I hope you had a lovely celebratory weekend as well. 🙂
Happy Easter
Carlos: Thanks!
Happy Easter to the Soapbox family.
Linda: And the same to you. I’ll bet everything is blooming now. It snowed here last night. Boo.
As if we did not have enough attacks on our country, we now have to put up with Blanchet saying that Canada is an artificial country without any meaning. A bigger insult coming from, without wanting to insult him, from a Quebecois.
I just wished these people would walk the talk and not take the benefits that the Federation gives them and at the same time insulting all of us.
Blanchet, get your act together, call for the third vote on the issue of independence and if you lose again, this time shut the f.. up and go live in a bear den somewhere in the North. You stink as a Canadian and you do not have the right to insult the rest of us with your stained mind.
In the process take Danielle Smith for company. She will be thrilled to have another separatist with her. She seems to like Trump style politicians like you.
Canada does not need people like you.
Our illustrious premier seems to continue her marathon of Maga crap that sound like Pierre Poilievre slogans. She seems to be saying it so many times that she is actually convinced she understands what her demands are.

Just so that people that have not read this have a chance to know what the reality is because with the premier we get garbage.
It has been very quiet here.
This is how the UCP improves access to health care so I had to post this.
So higher costs for seniors and paid vaccines. This is amazing
