Excellent thread👇🏻

So, @theglobeandmail.com wants us not to be angry with the cement-headed anti-vaxxers who deliberately reject scientific truths and wreck our herd immunity to measles, and instead to treat them “gently” and “with compassion.” Hogwash. 🍁🙄🍁

Do it, @mark-carney.bsky.social. 🍁🍁🍁

Mr. Reich makes incredibly important points about the neofascist plutocrats’ blatant efforts to dominate media. Something telling about the fact that one’s best source of 🇺🇸US news, by far, is a newspaper founded in Manchester, England in 1821. 🤷🏼 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Good grief: cancelling the Ontario Bar exams in part because “the process can be stressful”? Heaven protect people now to be represented in court by snowflakes. 🤷🏼🤔🧐😒🤷🏼

The petulant piffleswipe at his press conference today when asked, “Have you reflected at all on your leadership style?” Answer: “No.” 🤷🏼🤔🧐🙄🤷🏼

Current denizens of the Conservative Party of Canada are solidifying their reputation daily as diehard cement heads. They can’t get it through their skulls that the generality of Canadians just don’t like this:

Sad to see further charges laid against current and former 🍁CAF members on Remembrance Day. These men are innocent until proven guilty but it gives one pause amidst widespread, reflexive adulation for anyone military. 🤔

In face of fascist Trump’s relentless attacks on academe, we should steal all the top talents we can. Time to reverse the flow which for too long has swept great minds into the 🇺🇸vortex. And before the home-grown leap to the ramparts, let’s recall that world class learning knows no borders. 🍁🍁🍁

Your morning smile from Mr. Panofsky. 🤭

Cry me a river, insurrectionist. 🎻🎻🎻

Having had reservations about Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow (despite voting for her), one has to say the speech she delivered at today’s Remembrance observances was note-perfect. Not a syllable wrong, and quite uplifting. 🍁🍁🍁 #topoli

Don’t you just love the way 🇺🇸American media and pundits insist on soft-pedalling neoNazi Trump’s crimes? “illegal extrajudicial killings” instead of “murdering people you know nothing about in little boats.” 🤷🏼🙄🤷🏼 www.nytimes.com/2025/11/11/u...

Jeepers. Mr. Panofsky almost makes it worthwhile to go back to Twitter. Almost, but not quite. 🥹😂🤭

Mr. Panofsky, please come home to BlueSky. 🙏🏻 😂😂😂

When Queen of Stupid Danielle Smith gets done, Alberta is going to look more like 🇺🇸Alabama than a province of Canada. But she’s just the tool of her Maple MAGA supporters, who dominate there. 🍁🙄🍁 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Remembering today all our 🍁fallen, and especially Ian Wallace Johnston, killed fighting Nazis in Normandy, August 8, 1944. My Mum’s brother, from whom I got my two middle names. His elbows are up in this image. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

There is truly nothing more laughable than a Conservative backbench MP licking the boots of petulant piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre on the eve of a party leadership review. Except, perhaps, the notion that 74,000 real humans actually viewed his sycophantic tweet. 🍁🤭😂🙄🍁

From the evil place.

The world as seen by the pinheads of the Oakville East Conservative Association: “Many Canadians *allowed themselves* to believe that Donald Trump *somehow* posed a threat to Canada.” Sure thing - no real threat at all. Conservatives telling you you’re stupid, folks. “Somehow posed a threat.” 🤷🏼🙄🤷🏼

It’s 2025, and government debt hysterics have been screeching at me since, um, about 1968, swearing that national bankruptcy is just around the corner. And lookee here: 🤷🏼🙄🤷🏼

Good grief: now comes the @nytimes.com’s house reactionary, Mr. Ross Douthat, in all his snide 🇺🇸American exceptionalism, to project all the ills of his own degenerate country onto the still civilized 🇬🇧UK. 🤷🏼🙄🤷🏼 www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/o...

Notice how much time Prime Minister Carney spends dumping on petulant piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre? That sort of thing is left to lost souls like me. 🤷🏼🤔🤷🏼

Why does @theglobeandmail.com continue to give space to the right wing extremist, Western separatist traitor Preston Manning to blather on about whatever he chooses? 🤷🏼🙄🤷🏼

Mr. @deadder.bsky.social hits it out of the park again. 🍁🇺🇸🤭🇺🇸🍁

Thanks, anti-vaxx, sociopathic numbskulls. 🍁🤷🏼🙄🤷🏼🍁

Honest courage on the part of an American judge. 🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸 www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Petulant piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre (with Jenni whispering in his ear, perhaps?) takes the high road over his recently departed MP. 🤷🏼🤔🤷🏼 www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

This is what the religious nutbars who now inhabit petulant piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative Party would love to bring to 🇨🇦Canada. The vast majority of women here will be repulsed, one expects. 🍁🙄🍁 www.nytimes.com/2025/11/09/u...

By way of post-postscript, here’s petulant piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre and the doyenne of the 🍁gun cult, high mucky muck of the Canadian Coalition for “Firearm Rights,” going hand in hand to promote castle laws. “Happiness is a warm gun. Shoot shoot, bang bang.” - the late John Lennon. 🍁🥺😔🥺🍁

I am 🇨🇦Canadian.

By way of postscript, let it be remembered that the 🍁gun cult is a crucial component of petulant piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre’s voting base. If ever elected, he’d give them their murderous castle laws in a Trumpian New York minute. 🇨🇦🙄🇨🇦

I live in a country where you are usually only a few km from an actual castle. Yet any person can rock up to the front door of any one of them safe in the knowledge no idiot with a gun will shoot them on sight. “Castle laws” my eye. It’s a license to commit racist murder with impunity.

🎯🎯🎯 I wouldn't buy a used car from the lot of 'em!
