I'm pretty sure any company today that manufactures a product at scale does not make its money from that product anymore. It's just another revenue stream to them, and not their most lucrative. They don't need consumer trust anymore. They've got Shareholders now. 🫪

“What’s happening in US - we sit here and say it’s never going to happen in Canada. We’re very delusional to think it’s not going to happen or that’s it’s not already happening!” A warning about far right MAGA extremism threat on latest OShow with Annie Koshy #Cndpoli 🇨🇦 youtu.be/gcpiCngxcTw?si…

What an absolute slimy and cowardly take. Carney says "We won't tolerate it!" except we will. How embarrassing to see literally every "leader" in Canada is too chicken shit to upset the status quo in order to do anything to course corect this hot garbage. www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

On a comment thread about Trump demolishing the East Wing of the White House you have people arguing that the piece of machinery pictured in the article was an excavator not a bulldozer as the headline implies. Centrists are out here committing entryism without any extra incentive.

Dutch late night TV has its take

Coming soon to a sundown town in Alberta near you: Papers please!

Oh, and if anyone was confused. You build houses for the unhoused. Not kill them. Thank you.

Don't forget gave a standing ovation for a fascist who advocated for the return of chattel slavery! What a magical time to be alive! ✨

Andrew Scheer as interim leader. 😑 The same Andrew Scheer who is an American citizen Andrew Scheer? Read the room people! 🙄

1/ For ProPublica’s “Life of the Mother” series, winner of the 2025 Pulitzer Prize for public service, we reported on five pregnant women who died after not receiving timely medical care in states with strict abortion bans. These are their stories 🧵

The world is trapped in a fake left-right shuffle, led by oligarchs and tech bros whose power depends on our reflection—so stop giving it to them. Read the latest by philosopher Heather Marsh: "Governance by conspiracy." #3E #EndOligarchy #MayDay

And where do you think these children end up? Why is no one asking where the women and children are going? All eyes on El Salvador and yet... Is the answer so horrible noone dares ask?

More common than is comfortable...they're neither. I'm always suspicious of people who make leadership their goal.

Ontario place scam and gutting endangered species protection and yet crickets from @maritstilesndp.bsky.social and @bonnieforontario.bsky.social. Master class in alienation politics. Or...they're working for the cons. Anything is possible these days. 🙄

And...where are the women? Where are the children? Does anyone know where they're sending them? 😬

Here's an alternate fantasy author who isn't an absolute cunt: Ursula K Le Guin

Does nobody else remember what happened the last time an American politician flew south to check on people? 😬 Here's hoping this goes uh...better I guess?

I'd like to be in the room when all of them end up on that list as elderly, or ill, or handicapped etc. It's not a matter of if it's when for all of us for at least one of those categories. Do tech douche bros think they'll be 24 forever?! 🙄

Good things will still happen

This administration? Oh my sweet summer child. Credibility on this scale is going to take _generations_ to rebuild. It's going to take a whole lot more than just a regime change. The problem isn't a few men. It's an entire culture laid bare, and we're all taking our toys and going home.

It seems we were warned of this risk back when NAFTA was signed... #cdnpoli #canada 🇨🇦

And an island inhabited solely by penguins! Everyone knows penguins are shifty trade partners! They hog all the fish! 😂

Oh the same CTV that responded to my CBSA complaint about their irresponsible reporting on "The arm gesture" as "Well we don't know what he was thinking and we would be bad journalists if we did that [what call out Nazism]"? That same CTV? 🤔 Hmmm I am shocked I tell you. SHOCKED! 🙄

Echoes of GM manufacturing in the 70s. Yikes.

Never forget you don’t need a mandate to do the right thing. You can wear a mask and protect others. You can get boosted. You can help someone in need. You can donate to mutual aid. You can amplify voices different than your own. Caring about one another IS a form of resistance.

For 60 years, car advertising has programmed us that driving is freedom, that cars are how we get around, that driving — even reckless driving —is a symbol of status & power. But what if a car marketing vet used his skills to highlight the insanity of car culture? sf.streetsblog.org/2020/11/05/r...

Remember you also DO NO have to register ahead of time. (In case you forget to!) People are going to use American style tactics to repress the vote by making you think you have to register before voting day! You can register the day of an election (and when you file your taxes!).

Reminder: Substack is designed to normalize hateful noise. Your well intended newsletters get cross promoted with fascist ones. And they have publicly shown they're ok doing this. But hey your readership is growing so that's cool right? 🤨 www.anildash.com/2024/11/19/d...

Indeed, the bullshit continues.

Two software developers became quietly known in tech circles in the 2000s and were almost the reverse image of each other. Both developed web alternatives. Both developed alternatives to the current government model. The right has read Yarvin and it shows. The left has not read Marsh and it shows.

The road to fascism is paved with establishment Democrats hamstringing themselves with deference and decorum while they tell you you're overreacting.

Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there. The show must go on.

If someone didn't vote I remind them they actually did. For Ford. Oooh they mostly don't like that. But it's true. They sent a signal they didn't want government to change so...gold star for that protest though!⭐

Congrats on another Ford win @maritstilesndp.bsky.social and @bonniecrombie.bsky.social Your parties couldn't put ego aside and come together to avoid vote splitting in what will most certainly become a line in the sand moment in history. Shame on that "striving for status quo" thing we're doing.

Doug Ford's government is directly responsible for the death of thousands of people who have died as a result of our underfunded healthcare system. They paid you all $200. That's how much they decided your dead loved ones were worth. Guess Ontario proved him right.

This isn’t the flex everyone thinks it is. Journalists need to stop providing soundbites for corporate America and actually do some research… bsky.app/profile/bevg...

Maybe y'all should have been listening to all those people you ridiculed as "prone to hyperbole" over the past 20-30 years huh? But as usual centrist's pathological need for toxic harmony and comfort always wins out over facing reality. 🙄

Country that forces regime changes on others confused as to solution to an _actual_ dictator problem at home. Your myths were always transparent to the rest of us.

I mean...the song was "You'll be back" You just didn't realize he meant "To a corrupt system of monarchy that allows unchecked power because those myths about freedom and independence you told yourselves turned out to be nothing but dust and you're actually cowards". 🤷

Hey so, this just "Autism Bad!" repackaged. I'm socially awkward and prefer computers but I still have empathy and know that hurting people is bad. Don't do this thing where we vaguely use ableism to call out legitimately horrible people. Just attack them for being horrible people.

2/ Not your imagination. Canada, like many other countries, is seeing especially high flu activity. Very much above the 'epidemic' threshold. This is a choice. #FluIsAirborne.

Wanna field this one @corruptario.bsky.social ?

You cannot convince me conservatives in this country don't have a raging humiliation kink. I don't want yuck anyone's yum but...you're not supposed to pull other people into your scenarios without their consent dammit! 😂

Black History Month

"I don't have a side in this" someone says when one side is neonazis. I'm sorry, you chose a side.

Hey so...if I had to choose a time for the Canadian military to ramp up recruitment and clear out those damn 2 year backlogs NOW WOULD BE THAT TIME.

Good morning to this man, and this man only #bbcqt

Listen I don't know if this was a technical error or a harbinger of doom but Google Maps just flipped my driving directions from metric to miles half way through my trip in Canada. Either way I am pissed! 😡

Meh I do that with people now. It weeds out the boring ones! 😂

@maritstilesndp.bsky.social If you don't pay to put this on billboards around Ontario you're not even trying to win this election. Get away from traditional media and embrace new ways of getting your word out. And knock it off with the "Hey Fellow Kids!" tiktoks. Just talk directly to people.
