Friday, December 5th is BANDCAMP FRIDAY! While Bandcamp has some ethical issues, if you buy (yes, BUY) music on Bandcamp on Friday, all the money goes to the artists. Stream it or download it, as you wish.

And he basically responded, "Let them eat cake."

Ontario Legislature had #protestors erupt “PEOPLE OVER PROFIT “ #Ontario has had enough of this #DougFord govt grift and abuse of taxpayers money while withholding healthcare, education, housing and affordability needs. #onpoli #cdnpoli

I won’t even begin to entertain a candidate in the next Ontario election who doesn’t commit to FULLY FUNDING and meaningfully investing in public healthcare and education.

Nothing says, "I'm evil!" quite like invoking the #NotwithstandingClause against Trans kids during the #TransgenderAwarenessWeek, #Marlaina.

If you have a family doctor, please refuse the pharmacy's #MedsChecks. These checks are wasting tax dollars and pharmacists' and physicians' time. It's just another shovelling of $$$ to the Westons. #ONhealth #ONpoli

When it comes to #Israel's slaughter of #Palestinians in #Gaza, no stone is left unturned and no pretence left in place.

Phew! 170:168 #CANpoli Did not want an election so soon.

Yessssssssss! #BlueJays That's more like business as usual.

Is anyone else concerned that Trump spouts lies about significant fentanyl entering the U.S. from Canada (It's a minute amount. Far more flows from the U.S. into Canada.), and has now signed an illegal executive order telling the U.S. military to go after drug cartels on foreign soil? Anyone?

@janycemcgregor.bsky.social I appreciate your reporting so very much. When I want timely, balanced, useful analysis on a breaking story (or budget!), I always look for you on @cbcnews.ca. Thank you for your excellent work.

Dear activists. Some excellent advice in this post. I wish I had this wisdom before I went so dang hard that I literally broke my heart. #activism

Well, how about that! #CDNpoli #CANpoli #tarriffs www.bbc.com/news/article...

I'm not a monarchist, but I am moved by the King's arrival and this demonstration of support and strength. Hooray for Queen Camilla for wearing Queen Elizabeth's maple leaf brooch, a big eff you to Trump! #KingCharles #ThroneSpeech #CANpoli

#ONpoli, today's the deadline to officially voice opposition to the #Bill5 power grab. This is the part of Bill 5 that allows the government of Ontario to suspend ALL PROVINCIAL and MUNICIPAL LAWS ANYWHERE IN ONTARIO. Please post a comment against this! ero.ontario.ca/notice/025-0...

Attending a webinar with the marvellous Elin Kelsey, who is sharing the importance of #ClimateHope. I learned to check the expiry dates on my news and beliefs, and to seek out solutions journalism. Progress is being made! Let's build on it! www.elinkelsey.org

Bill 5 is set to pass in mere days. It'll mean the #Ontario gov't can declare ANY piece of land an "economic zone" & exempt developers & the gov't from ALL Ontario laws, including municipal bylaws, environmental, human health, employment, worker safety, public participation & consultation with FNMI.

Yes! More of this, please, @cityofbarrie.bsky.social !

Critics slam Ontario for proposal to create zones where projects are exempt from laws #QueensPark #Ontario www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/poli...

In a democracy, governments have to obey the law. Ford's Bill 5 allows him "to unilaterally do away with legal safeguards and paves the way for corporations to bypass labour and environmental laws.” #ONpoli www.thestar.com/business/cri...

Stop #Bill5 changes to the endangered species act! #onpoli #cdnpoli #dougford #ontario #protectourwildlife

Trump is a ding dong and there’s a new pope. In a busy news cycle keep an eye on this dope. #OnPoli #DougFordIsCorrupt

We are all frogs who have been sitting in a pot of water on a stove while the Con Ontario gov't kills democracy with bill after bill (e.g. MZOs, strong mayor powers, the laws against suing corps or gov't for care homes' neglect). With Bill 5, #DougFord is turning up the heat to boil.

Is anyone else nervous that Trump has Carney sitting in a potential Zelensky setup?

25% of CDN Internet is routed through the U.S. 80% Rogers & 100% Bell peering exchange points are in the U.S. With tech oligarchs at Trump's inauguration, social changes in the U.S., & Trump's threats, Canada must protect CDN data. I sent the action email to my MP. openmedia.org/article/item...

Yeah, I'm definitely not eating or drinking anything from the U.S. The only thing I haven't kicked yet is lettuce. Can we get Canadian greenhouses to up their production on that, or do I need to fire up some home hydroponics?

Watch this before you eat that chicken dinner. 😬🐔

@jagmeetsingh.ca Thank you for your service to our country. Listen, you accomplished a lot in a very challenging political landscape. You should be proud. #ThankYouJagmeet

If you are in line when the polls close, STAY IN LINE. They have toilet you #VOTE. Also, if you were unable to find your polling station because elections.ca was down, please lodge a complaint.

#Barrie-Springwater-Oro-Medonte, it would be REALLY nice to have an actual seat at the table. It's close. #VOTE #VoteRoseZacharias

VOTING IS EASY

Zoey says #VOTE! #VoteRoseZacharias #BSOM

Please, #Barrie-Springwater-Oro-Medonte #NDP. THERE IS NO NDP CANDIDATE. IT IS JUST A NAME ON A PAGE TAKING UP VOTES. PLEASE #BSOM #VOTE #VoteRoseZacharias smartvoting.ca/ridings/fede...

Well, @22-minutes.bsky.social. That's the first time I've wept at the end of your show. The laughter from the rest of the show was a great stress reliever leading into Monday, though. Well done. #CDNpoli #22minutes

It would be great if progressive voters in Peterborough continue to throw their support behind the Liberal candidate Emma Harrison and send Conservative Michelle Ferreri back to vlogging from her bathtub. #CanadaVotes

(1/4) It was America and Britain that guaranteed the sovereignty of Ukraine and its borders in return for persuading them to give up their nuclear weapons.

Who is Gabriela Trujillo? Has anyone ever met her? I am so angry that the NDP is vote-splitting with this absentee placeholder in #Barrie-Springwater-Oro-Medonte. Please #BSOM #NDP, for the love and future of the riding and the country, #VoteRoseZacharias on Monday!

This is alarming. The U.S. HHS has set up a snitch website for reporting healthcare professionals who provide gender-affirming care. It has options for reporting #CANADIANS! #Never51 #VALID #OneEreadCanada #VOTE like doctors' & trans peoples' lives depend on it. #NeverPoilievre

Looking forward to this discussion! Loved the book (though it's very unsettling). #VALID #OneEreadCanada @chrisbergeron.bsky.social @mattearoach.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/books/mattea...

Yay #BarrieColts! What a series! #KingstonFrontenacs were formidable opponents, especially in Kingston. Well done! #OshawaGenerals, you're next!

Heading into the debates, #RoseZacharias is within striking distance according to #338canada. Who is even running for the NDP? They didn't attend the debate. Please, NDP supporters. Direct those votes to #RoseZacharias.
