Steve Silberman is not here to shout it — so it’s up to all of us. Vaccines don’t cause autism. Neither does Tylenol. (I mean seriously WTF?!?!) The “epidemic” of autism is the result of increased testing, broader definitions, and raised awareness. LOUDER.

My comment will probably be deleted from Instagram, so… Let’s expose screenwriter extortion at its worst. app.glcoverage.com/pricing

US Ambassador threatens to tariff, annex, and bomb Canada if anti-American sentiment doesn't improve

This is amazing.

Why should anyone in Canada believe a single word this FBI director says, especially after the fraudulent fentanyl emergency Trump declared earlier this year? Still, I wonder what they're up to with this kabuki. www.ctvnews.ca/world/articl...

We should, in fact, deepen our divisions with ardent ethnonationalists. We should not make space for them or normalize them or laud them for their dedication to *spirited debate* about whether Black people are mentally deficient or gay people should be stoned to death.

it is not civil when an evil person says evil things in a calm tone of voice. conversely, it is not uncivil when a good person uses curse words to denounce evil things at the top of their voice. it is evil to pretend not to understand this.

We’re literally holding a late night talk show host and comedian to a higher standard than the United States president. Just let that sink in… 😳 www.cnn.com/2025/09/17/m...

I am advocating for you to be killed but I am using my inside voice you must debate me this is called democracy

Can’t believe it has to be said again but: Polite fascism is still fascism.

Popping out of hiatus to share this gofundme stalwarts of the Vancouver Indie film community Wendy D and Major just lost their office as well irreplaceable contents in a tragic fire. If you can donate or share this to help them get back on their feet it would be much appreciated gofund.me/eec39927

Taps the sign:

"I come from the mentality that when the bully in the schoolyard gives you a black eye, you don’t punch back, you go burn down his house" Just so we're clear, if you're playing hockey with David Rosenberg, don't slash him.

We really need to have a natsec convo

No Fucks Left to Give Trudeau is the best Trudeau

The track with Dolly was genuinely charming, as was the second pre-release track that interpolates "9 to 5." But I'm truly *dead* at this.

Canadian dog lovers, made in USA vs Made in Canada 👇

I don't think the average American grasps how concerned the average Canadian is about the annexation threat. A lot of Americans are brushing it off a backburner ridiculous thing from Trump -- but here in Canada, our prime minister is literally telling us tariffs are part of an annexation plan.

FAFO

would really like it if media stopped referring to backlash as being “about tariffs” when it’s about “the president constantly saying canada shouldn’t exist” like people were not going apeshit on our nation’s greatest hockey player because of his thoughts on economic trade policy

Good 🧵 on another attempt to annex Canada through tariffs. TLDR - it had the opposite effect.

You've been asking yourself "where is the Canadian guy"? But you knew he would show up just when we needed him. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ozb...

Add mirror click to your #Webflow website with only two attributes. Thank Tim Daff for this one.

This comment by the makers of Jack Daniels today made me LOL.

Worth reading @marissarmoss.bsky.social on artists and music industry folks flying right now (I have a cameo too) www.dontrocktheinbox.com/p/issue-89-h...

"Canadian border officials actually captured more drugs coming in from the U.S. than what their American counterparts caught going south, according to data from both countries." The Fentanyl. Is. A. Lie. This is NOT a principled stance in the interests of US citizens. This is an attack on Canada.

Hey Canadian producers working with American companies? You’re not above this shit. Buy Canadian includes our creative talent, directors, writers, crew. Do your part.

My advice to Canadians. Bunker down, prepare for hardship. Ignore Trump's words and threats. Ignore US and foreign propaganda and disinformation spread by Trump and other far right agents including domestic. Vote against RW populist parties. Support leaders who fight for us. Stay united and firm. 🇨🇦

“What he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy, because that'll make it easier to annex us." This is the most extraordinary statement by a Canadian prime minister in the history of this country. The Trump administration is at war with Canada.

It's critical to mention to those also trapped in the US propaganda bubble that Canada is taking US threats to its sovereignty extremely seriously and mobilizing for possible war.

Let's be serious, the tariffs were never about drugs. If anyone is a problem at the border, it is the U.S. Besides drugs, illegal firearms and weapons enter Canada from the U.S. in great numbers. Canadian authorities have traced more than 21,000 firearms used in crimes in Canada back to the U.S.
