I’ve decided to leave X/Twitter. Thank you to @senatorpaulasimons.bsky.social for her leadership and for continuing to educate the public about the harms enabled by the platform. You can still find me on Instagram @kimpateonthehill and on Bluesky @kpateonthehill.bsky.social

"We don't have the infrastructure to be able to take up an investigation, to be able to levy fines or to ban social media companies," said Kaitlynn Mendes, a professor in inequality and gender at Western University "This is a huge problem."

Now that bird flu is confirmed in our area, I'm not happy we have two storm ponds near us with geese & a neighbour with backyard chickens. I might need to hang a flag to monitor which way the wind is blowing. Folks who continue to allow their cats outdoors might be sorry, too. #birdflu #avianflu

President Trump posts a fake Wikipedia bio saying he’s the acting President of Venezuela

Just a reminder: these photos federal agents are taking are part of a growing surveillance state w no oversight. Agents use facial recognition, phone tracking, license plate readers, fused government databases built by contractors like Palantir. What was tested on immigrants is expanding to citizens

Nothing is impossible. There is always hope. They just want you to forget that, because hopeless people are easier to manage. Happy #socialistsunday #marxistmonday comrades ✊🏻

80% of Albertans would vote to stay in Canada. Meanwhile all the separation talk has made Alberta poison in terms of any investment. No serious business is looking at Alberta as a place to set up or to stick anymore money in. #abpoli #cdnpoli

Trump is now acquiring and deploying all the social surveillance tools that the Chinese Communist Party has developed and uses in China. Social media monitoring systems, cellphone location tracking, facial recognition, remote hacking tools—now being turned on Americans by ICE to target protesters.

Some may not be aware but the US Military is a few million strong. There over 80 million registered gun owners and hundreds of millions of registered guns in the US. Martial Law is not possible.

Hi hello, the Toronto Sun's email is [email protected] in case you'd like to inquire as to how they feel about their Ottawa Bureau Chief making these kinds of statements about innocent women being shot by militarized thugs in the street! Let's make his weekend extra fun :)

Bryan Passifiume is the Ottawa Bureau chief for the “Toronto Sun”. Bryan posted a tweet justifying the execution of leftists. Bryan shouldn’t have a job anymore. Tell the Toronto Sun how you feel about Bryan. Bryan needs to lose credentials. #cdnpoli

Bryan Passifiume— the Ottawa Bureau chief for the Toronto Sun tweeted: “the far left ended up catching a few well-deserved bullets”. Bryan Passifiume still has a job and credentials to access Parliament and MPs. #cdnpoli

Around 20 people showed up for the racist rally and over 100 in honour of Renee. This is proof those racist losers online never leave their house.

Ontario Place Protectors believes Doug Ford's actions paving the way for new private operators at #OntarioPlace constitute a serious “breach of public trust." They will get a chance to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada, likely in the fall of 2026. Support their fight here: gofund.me/cc9bef2ea

If anyone frequents reddit and knows that the conservative sub exists, go look at what theyre saying. They're living in a different reality than we are. They see everything in the video as the exact opposite of what it shows. Its objectively terrifying.

Oh look. Yesterday I wrote: "They're trying to provoke enough violence so they can declare martial law and cancel the elections altogether" and now he's taking the next step:

42% of cancer patients in America deplete their entire life savings within the first 2 years of their diagnosis. We can't help them, but apparently we can bribe everyone in Greenland with a check of up to $100 grand if they secede from Denmark. Because: America first!

The number of Gestapo in Germany was 32,000. The population was 70 million. That's one Gestapo for every 2200 citizens. The number of ICE agents is 20,000. The population of the US is 348 million. That's one ICE agent for every 17,000 citizens. There are more of us.

Airline water safety varies widely, with most major airlines scoring very poorly. Nearly 3% of airline water samples tested positive for coliform bacteria. Experts advise avoiding tap water, coffee and tea on flights. www.healthday.com/health-news/...

NEW: Iran’s capital, Tehran, is now BURNING 110 cities across Iran have seen unrest and protests against the ruling regime in the last 12 days The only thing more remarkable than the scale of this revolution is the negligence of mainstream media in covering it. Scenes below in Tehran tonight. 1/

It certainly appears that Scotiabank CEO Scott Thompson is an evil amoral bastard, a hyper capitalist who can only see his bonus and the bottom line. This is how bad things have become. If you bank there, consider moving.

Canada must do the same.

John Lewis called for “Good Trouble”. Make it “RENEE NICOLE GOOD Trouble”. #cdnpoli #uspoli

Yet another reminder that Canada has "freedom of expression" under the Charter s. 2(b) along with thought, belief, and opinion. You have no *right* to speak at any specific place or event. You can also be held responsible for what you say here if it crosses certain thresholds (R. v Keegstra).

In a move to suppress the growing wave of anti-regime protests, the Iranian government has shut down the country’s internet infrastructure entirely. Both mobile and fixed-line networks have gone dark, cutting off tens of millions from communication. Even state-run websites are offline.

More institutions are deciding some platforms are no longer worth inhabiting. There’s a point where “staying to reach people” becomes "being shaped by the venue." This threshold passes silently. By the time the platform is shaping your tone and incentives, your decision is already made.

BREAKING: A federal judge rules John Sarcone, acting U.S. attorney for the Northern District of New York, has been serving unlawfully for months. The decision makes him the fifth Trump-appointed acting U.S. attorney deemed illegitimate by the federal courts during the president’s second term.

Dear Americans, This message is for you…

New: we've obtained material explaining how an ICE surveillance system, called Webloc, works. Draw shape on a map, see all phones available there, follow them home. All without warrant “This is a very dangerous tool in the hands of an out-of-control agency.” www.404media.co/inside-ices-...

Holy shit! This is not one man’s idea. This is a movement. And it has a lot of unchecked momentum. What this administration fails to consider is that Canada, and every nation they are targeting, wants exactly the same thing for their country. Sovereignty and national strength.

🚨 The White House is now actively covering up a murder.

Canadian media needs to ask our politicians directly why they choose to stay on that diseased platform.

In 2024, I rose in Senate QP to ask why the Govt of Canada was still using X for official communications. Today, they are still there. What exactly will it take to break the spell?

Even in a near-perfect world where 95% of people vaccinate, there will still be fallout from what's happening in the US now. The less a virus circulates, the fewer chances it has to evolve. More spread ➡️ more replication ➡️ more mutation ➡️ higher chance of immune escape.
