special team. let’s go.

what the hell

daaaaaaaa JANKEES lose

Political violence is never okay, unless it’s the shootings of Melissa Hortman and John Hoffman, the hammer attack on Paul Pelosi, the Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping plot, the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol attack, gunfire at DNC offices, mail-bombing campaigns, election worker intimidation, ramming cars into pro

Air Canada’s flight attendants should refuse the minister’s orders. Full stop. Canada needs a general strike. This is completely unacceptable. Canada’s federal government doesn’t work for Air Canada. #cdnpoli

We truly have no fucking labour rights in this country. Every time someone goes on strike with their extremely legitimate grievances the government just breaks it.

John Schneider shouldn’t be allowed on the plane

why on earth did they bring hoffman back out for the 9th. dude couldn’t find the strikezone to save his life.

Similarly, why does Canada need 1/3 fewer civil servants? Other than, "because fuck you, that's why"?

During the election campaign, Mark Carney pledged to increase the CBC’s budget by $150 million dollars a year. Now that he’s in government, he’s telling the public broadcaster to find up to $198 million in annual cuts. He can’t claim to defend the country when he’s gutting its media and culture.

I just can’t get over this. It’s not overzealous defence of Israeli positions. It’s not collateral damage from going after Hamas. It’s just murdering people who need food. The Israelis don’t even seem to try to justify it.

During the Harper years so many government services basically didn't work because they were so under-staffed. It took months to get EI claims processed, renewing a passport took forever, etc. and under Trudeau the government staffed up so that those services worked better. That was good!

folks we have a hulkenberg podium!

folks we are very close to a hulkenberg podium

Just wait until ICE is stationed at every city voting location.

Like, I think "trade" - in the general sense of economic exchange between countries - is good, but the specifics of trade deals are often bad, and this is really the point that progressive parties should be hammering. These deals aren't about making your life better.

“‘It's a killing field,’ one soldier said. ‘Where I was stationed, between one and five people were killed every day. They're treated like a hostile force – no crowd-control measures, no tear gas – just live fire with everything imaginable: heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, mortars.’”

💥 “Israeli soldiers in Gaza told Haaretz that the army has deliberately fired at Palestinians near aid distribution sites over the past month.” No paywall: archive.is/3LjoW

ICE officially murders a Canadian

You’d think someone might ask why distributing aid in Gaza has proceeded like the opening twenty minutes of Saving Private Ryan, every day, for weeks. Is it normal to fire machine guns at starving civilians trying to collect flour? Because we are currently at one, two or three massacres *per day*.

It is insane how the West keeps articulating Israel's "right to self defense" while it continuously launches attacks on its neighbours in the region.

The entire plot of Andor S2 is about the Empire creating a bloody civil disturbance and then blaming the resulting violence on the previously peaceful protestors.

Jonathan Joss was MURDERED. Words matter here. He was MURDERED. it was a HATE CRIME because he is a gay Indigenous man. Say those words. Do not dance around it. He wasn't "killed in a shooting." He was murdered in a hate crime.

A very good explainer here. Canada has foolishly given up on carbon pricing - an important policy tool in the fight against climate change - mostly on the basis of raw disinformation about how it worked and the (dramatically overstated) effect it had on the cost of living.

in 90% of cases, “watch the games” means “watch the boxscores” and the most important boxscore stat to these guys is ice time

I heard a great joke one time: If it's machine learning, it's probably written in Python, if it's AI, it's probably written in powerpoint

someone better send sam bennett to the moon

cowardly uoft admin is terrified of another encampment. they are paying “security” to literally watch grass grow on a weekend evening

Half a dozen posts versus a goal from behind the net after a body bounce is a good argument for those who believe in curses

fold the franchise

humiliating

these fuckin guys

“I can’t believe anyone would vote for Trump,” says smug Canadian man planning to vote for Poilievre

what an effort by knies. great playoff player

I know a lot of people made it to the advance polls, but plenty more did not. Did you know a neighbour can effectively be your ID to vote?

you have to live in the system whether you like it or not. vote with a harm reduction approach in mind. it’s absolutely NOT better to let the fascists win just because none of the center or center-left parties align with you on 100%. not voting is the second worst option after voting for fascists

bluesky has got to chill out. i got blocked over this post

We just need to turn the negative productivity of scientists at NASA and IRS auditors that DOGE fired to gainfully making shoes in Nike factories reshored from Vietnam. This is the groundbreaking economic thinking of communist purges from Mao to Pol Pot with a sprinkle of American Exceptionalism.

vote conservative because… the liberals made you get addicted to meth?

Being a billionaire in the United States feels basically identical whether you have $10B or $100B, but feels very different if you can sexually harass your au pair and she can quit and get a different job vs if she is desperate to keep her job and has to put up with it because the economy is shit.

They say they stand for Canada—then call to defund the CBC, silence journalists, and erase our stories. That’s not patriotism. That’s dismantling Canada. The CBC is part of who we are. Let’s keep it that way. #SaveTheCBC #OurVoiceOurCBC #CdnPoli #PublicBroadcasting

Reminder as we watch measles rates climb in Canada that *this* is Poilievre's attitude towards vaccination during a public health emergency. MMR vaccination has long been mandated for health care workers. Would a Poilievre govt ban the MMR mandate in health care during a huge measles outbreak?

if i were at a sports game in america i would boo the canadian anthem. not for stupid nationalism reasons, but because the singers they find butcher it every single time. are there no good anthem singers in america?

This is correct. You will find no explanation for Trump's actions in economics or political science. You need to go deep into woke academic critical theory, and there it suddenly makes sense why white male nepobabies hate communal prosperity because it undermines their dream of personal superiority.

WATCH: If you REALLY want to understand just how lazy, moronic & dishonest Trump’s “math” is, that he claims is the basis for his “reciprocal tariffs” on nations all over the world (spoiler: they aren’t reciprocal), please watch this excellent CBC explanation by Andrew Chang. Then please share it.

"Since Oct. 7, 2023, the war in Gaza has killed more journalists than the U.S. Civil War, World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the post-9/11 war in Afghanistan combined"

gretzky is hammered on tv. sad alcoholic traitor.

Canadians face a tough choice in the upcoming election. Do they go with a globally respected economist who is a steadfast partner to the rest of the Non-American free world or a little douchebag who rose to power by aligning himself with unemployed carnival workers on CERB. A lot to think about.
