Well that will certainly change my husband's whisky choice. Crown Royal has been his go-to for years. I'm more of a wine person but I do make homemade Bailey's with his Crown Royal. We will be finding a new Canadian option.

Ford cut $42M from wildfire response — now Ontario’s calling in the military as 3.7M hectares burn. This is what happens when leaders betray public trust. CBC tracks the consequences. That’s why they want it gone. Defend the CBC. #SaveTheCBC #DougFord #Wildfires #CBCInvestigates

Driving while Canadian is a dangerous thing.

I live in Alberta and I have no words to tell how much I respect and LOVE this!!! Thank you #FirstNations 🪶🍁

An 18-year-old girl fled Makiivka after living under Russian occupation for ten years. She secretly studied at a Ukrainian school and learned the Ukrainian language - and she kept it a secret from her parents.She began to fully realize the reality of the war after conversations with a boy from Kyiv

I quite like when cities retain some of the industrial heritage when redeveloping former industrial areas. This is the 300-ton Atlas Crane in the Toronto Portlands. One of the last of its kind on the Great Lakes, it’s being restored and incorporated into the new Biidaasige Park on Ookwemin Miniseng.

as we keep getting reports like this, it's still unclear how many Americans are affected because DHS has not provided numbers on citizens detained by immigration authorities and isn't answering Congressional inquiries about them www.propublica.org/article/more...

The US government is the single largest employer of veterans, people who've served their country at their own peril. Some of these people are among those cast aside in the reductions in force layoffs. An important but gut-wrenching read. www.statnews.com/2025/04/17/f...

And HEREIN lies the concern: If the Trump Administration can do this to Kilmar Abrego Garcia, what makes you think they won't do it to American citizens?

Van Hollen says that he asked the VP of El Salvador why his government continues to hold Abrego Garcia even though he’s not charged with any crime and there’s no evidence that he’s MS-13. “His answer was that the Trump administration is paying the government of El Salvador to keep him at CECOT”

Finally got around to watching this and hoo boy is it timely, accurate, and terrifying

"When my country was threatened by the government of the United States… I felt like I had to do something. I had to react.” "My role as an artist is to communicate…” Seems this college that hired an “artist in residence” (& didn’t pay him) doesn’t know what art is. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Congrats to Christopher Griffin for having the integrity to stand up for his craft. This is a prime example that artists, architects, engineers and others can follow. Have integrity and the moral fortitude to stand by your beliefs. #Ottawa #Integrity

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

1/ Russian soldiers are complaining that their Mad Max-style modified vehicles, with camouflage and anti-drone protection, are attracting fines (and demands for bribes) from traffic cops because they are no longer compliant with traffic regulations. ⬇️

Rachel Gilmore, whose fact-checking segment on CTV was canceled due to complaints from far-right. We need to stop this manipulation of the media. Please share, truth matters! @rachelgilmore.bsky.social #BringBackRachel #cdnpoli #polcan #election #ElbowsUp #CanadaStrong youtu.be/HdPiBNiedQg?...

“I knew that you had that troll base and I knew that we would get some sort of reaction, but I really did not realize the extent of the volume of that push back that we had.” As women journalists are relentlessly and disproportionately harassed, it’s fair to ask where are you going with this CTV?

NEW: CTV cancelled a fact-checking segment in response to political pressure from Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives An audio recording obtained by PressProgress shows CTV cancelled an ‘election misinformation’ segment with journalist Rachel Gilmore after online backlash from conservatives

“In Canada, sales of books by Canadian authors represents less than 15 per cent of total book sales. The average income of writers from writing alone is firmly below the poverty line.” A good reminder that investing in Canadian books & writers is investing in Canada. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Breaking: RFK Jr. has forced out PETER MARKS, the nation’s top vaccine regulator. In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns — but said Kennedy wishes “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

Here is footage at the US consulate where Toronto police told us we aren't allowed to stand on our own sidewalks because it offends the American state. These are our streets. This is our country. Never 51st. #elbowsup www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4Tk...

Cough cough @ottawacity.ottawa.ca and Bank and Byward BIA's. Every time it's done. The result is the same. Pedestrianization is the pinnacle, unless you're a big box store with massive items with no delivery.

Can’t make this up.

I don’t want to go to the US.

"It was after the state troopers who had pulled them over receded from view that Cassie said, “Well that was wild. He asked me ‘which do I prefer, Canada or America?’” Maggie, who’d been taken to a separate cruiser for questioning, had been asked the same thing." The US IS NOT SAFE FOR TOURISTS!!

This City is hopeless

I'm developing a online certificate program in inclusive community music, as part of a larger research project Building Access in Music Making. It may be first of its kind globally, not requiring a degree in ableist euro-centric music traditions, or a university degree, to take the certificate.

Nice!

Weekend plans?

DOCUMENT DESTRUCTION: My reporter Brett Murphy obtained a remarkable directive to folks at USAID: Empty the safes with the classified and personnel records and then, "Shred as many documents first, and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break."

#ICYMI: The NASA official sent the warning days after Trump called the federal government “bloated” and claimed that a lot of people “aren’t doing their job.” “This is probably one of the saddest emails I have had to write of late,” the official said. By @heathervogell.bsky.social

A great piece. And the brave women of Kirkland Lake are an outstanding example of how to use your privilege to help a cause. They knew the strike-breaking police wouldn't dare harm them. A lesson for middle class cis white women like me. We can be shields for those doing the work, taking the risk
