“Please do imperialism the legal way,” is a take I just saw on here. I thought that was just a meme.

Wtf is this shit statement, canada? Didn't even try to name the US as the perpetrator www.canada.ca/en/global-af...

Ughhh what’s the point of these red lanes on Bathurst if left turning cars can just block the streetcar 😩 @diannesaxe.bsky.social @cllrjamaalmyers.bsky.social @mayoroliviachow.ca @ausmalik.bsky.social

Reminder that 70% of mining in Latin America involves a Canadian transnational corporation. Canada benefits from the exploitation of the global south—and has an interest when the US props up pro capitalist leaders in these countries.

Imagine licking the boot of a president who's threatened to annex your country multiple times.

Expect to see a lot of this classic Onion headline, from 23 years ago, over the coming weeks.

I'm really scared about what's happening in Venezuela - Carney is already militarizing Canada, and I don't think he will refuse to join the US in it's upcoming wars, like we did when we refused to take a direct role in Iraq, the way his politics are oriented, he's poised to join in.

And please, PLEASE let us not forget that time in 2023 when Karen Smith was elected President of the school board in Bucks County, Pa and swore her oath on a stack of banned books. The most gangsta oath ever! Just brilliant. www.edweek.org/leadership/t...

For those watching #StrangerThings, remember that the cast passed around signs saying they are proud zionists in the middle of an ongoing livestreamed genocide carried out by the zionist regime.

In chapter 1 of #Algospeak, Adam Aleksic acknowledges the heavy censorship of the "israel-Gaza war", but either bigotedly or cowardly refuses to call it what it is, a genocide. For a book about censorship, he missed the mark on this one.

Waterloo Region priorities: Views of the forest > Good public transit connections One thing about North Americans is that we value the view/concept of nature over the actual sustainable practices & infrastructure that conserve the very nature we love.

Waterloo Region is about to shoot itself in the foot with a new hospital decision, so I wrote a blog post on why locating hospitals is so important, and the *many* better places they could put this one. open.substack.com/pub/nextmetr...

Almost run over walking at a crosswalk with a green walk sign today with my kid in a stroller . . . By a cop

Nigella seed cookies! It's been ages since I baked something, forgot how good it feels. Recipe: minimalistbaker.com/easy-tahini-... Replaced the tahini with black tahini, the maple syrup with sugar, and the sesame seeds with nigella seeds.

I find the way cbc worded this to be weird. Canada now recognizes Palestine as a country so there is no need to still dance around calling Palestine a country. www.cbc.ca/news/world/t...

It honestly doesn't feel real that we're finally getting our new rail hub *and* it's being properly funded by all 3 levels of government. What a great day for Waterloo Region. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The region installed raised crosswalks on the roundabout near me so that cars stop for crossing pedestrians. Newsflash, they still don't. One rolled in front of me just now as I was crossing.

Hey. Hey, want to read some stories from Palestinian writers? Buy my book. It’s good. It has a lot of words in it (but not too many words!). This has been an attempt at self marketing. www.goodreads.com/book/show/21...

This book is sooo good!!!

I wanted to compare what I saw on Seattle's Line 1 LRT with Toronto's Finch LRT. In Seattle, you can see left turning cars waiting while fast-moving transit gets priority. Help TTCriders make it happen in Toronto: www.ttcriders.ca/greenlight 📸: @wk1998.bsky.social / @kevinrupasinghe.bsky.social

Bill S-222 would let 16 and 17 year olds vote. Young people already work, pay taxes, and live with the consequences of political decisions. They deserve a voice. Send a message of support to the Senator from your province or territory!

Yearning for the day that we have real tech unions. My company just laid off and retired hundreds of workers, and it was wild to hear about it and be expected to continue working as normal. (I'm ok)

Thankful to the Indigenous peoples of Northern Turtle Island for seeing a tree and deciding to boil its sap 🍁. Maple syrup is the best.

Who should get priority? A few cars or hundreds of transit riders? Ask Councillors to give transit the green light: ttcriders.ca/greenlight This video taken Friday at Leslie and Eglinton shows a Crosstown trajn waiting at a red light while a few vehicles turn left

I love the 536 Finch West Streetcar! So excited for it to open December 7 :)

We’re thrilled that there’s now some weekend trains from Kitchener, but what’s the hold up for the all-day frequent GO trains? We dive in here:

me: towers are good them: no, we need nice 4-6 storey, human scale buildings me: we do! let’s rezone the city so we can get 4-6 storeys everywhere them: oh no, not like that

Answering the the question "why are you the right candidate for Quebec" in English is wild lol. (NDP Debate)

We warned you that self-driving cars would just create self-driving traffic jams, and here they are. The car industry has no solution to the shortage of space in cities. Public transit, cycling, and walking are all part of the answer, but cars are not.

Another maddening move by Doug Ford meddling in Toronto where his govt has quietly killed the city's 15 year old green roof bylaw—an industry-leading bylaw that has been copied in cities around the world & helps reduce stormwater runoff & building energy use/costs, as per @thestar.com.

Cars might work fine in California or Florida, but they’re not practical here in Canada. We have winter.

You are absolutely right Mr. Carney that great cities need great public transit. That's why your government should fund ION light rail to connect Kitchener-Waterloo and Cambridge across the great rivers that divide them (Grand River, Speed River, Highway 401) But seriously please fund ION expansion

GRT Bus Routes 9, 13, 19, & 30 proposed to have cuts next year! Speak Up, Fill Out the Survey, and Contact Your Councillors! Tell council to fund GRT's business plan, enabling increased service towards a frequent transit network and overnight service. (1/3) linktr.ee/no_grt_cuts

(2/3) Proposed GRT service cuts include: 📉REDUCED frequency on Routes 13 Laurelwood & 19 Hazel from every 15 mins to every 30 mins 📉REDUCED frequency on 30 Ring Road & 9 Lakeshore from every 20 mins to every 30 mins ❌Route 110 will be discontinued More info here: www.grt.ca/en/about-grt...

Ffs every fucking year they propose transit cuts even though the region is growing faster than ever

Learning that GRT route 9 is already extremely unreliable. Further cuts to this route will only deteriorate service further.

Over 600 people have already registered for our mass organizing calls on Wednesday, including 400+ Albertans, who are ready to take action to support trans youth and their families in Alberta. With your help, we can reach hundreds more - share this post and register at www.momentumcanada.net/AB

Thanksgiving is, has always been, and will always be a celebration of genocide against Indigenous folks in what is now called the ‘us’ and the systems that allowed the genocide to occur and to be celebrated in the first place.

Ableism isn't a good look WestJet

So the UNSC failed to pass a ceasefire resolution idk how many times during the past two years, and now comes to pass a plan to divide Palestine further. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/11... #un #unpolitics #palestine #gaza

Finally some good news. It'll be interesting to see how this affects the US. www.iisd.org/articles/dee...

I just called my MP about supporting bill C-233 which aims to close the legislative loophole allowing weapons to flow freely to israel through the US There is a new report detailing the extent of this loophole usage. armsembargonow.ca/nomoreloopho... #Palestine #canada #cdnpoli

Because bsky doesn't allow post editing, you can't get self-referential posts...

I live in Canada on Disability Benefits that include a special diet allowance. A few years ago when I went to my pcp and filled out all these forms detailing my dietary restrictions, my benefit was only approved for $30. disabled people often can't eat "healthy food" because they can't afford it.

Remember that the United States is not your friend, and that we are in no obligation to uphold them for anything. Souvenir que les États-Unis n'est pas votre ami, et on n'est pas obligé de les soutenir pour n'importe quoi.

I love how he chose to celebrate using public transit!

I have a book called "Notes From a Queer Cripple" that has been out for 6 months. It is available all the places you get books in e-book and paperback format. It is about my journey with sex, queerness and disability. It is a raw, real honest look at an intersection we ignore Get it now! xo ag.
