That flushing sound you hear is rights and accountability going down the u-bend.

For an industry that only employs 55K workers across Canada, oil and gas sure uses up a lot of oxygen in Canadian discourse. StatsCan: Energy jobs in Canada, May 2025, per sector: the job numbers for Sept are almost identical. www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/t...

And again... totally applies to Canada as well.

At the rate the #NDP blocks candidates, federally and provincially, it's time to drop the 'D' from the name. @ndp.ca www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

The only reason Canadian financial institutions were not falling over like their American counterparts in 2007-08 was because our financial regs prevented them from doing subprime mortgages.

Grateful to Catherine Boucher (@bearswim.bsky.social) and the Dalhousie Community Association for standing up for evidence-based policy when it comes to addiction, homelessness and crime rates — in Chinatown and across Ottawa.

Sinead O'Connor would have been 59 today. She fought for the world, and the world failed her. #GNUSineadOConnor

We need a new updated version of "Escape from New York", entitled "Escape TO New York". A merc has to infiltrate the fascist hellscape of middle America to save some immigrants and get them safely back to New York, the fortified last bastion of safety in the country.

'You shouldn't criticize Mark Carney because that's how you get Pierre Poilievre' is...exactly how you get Pierre Poilievre. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Worse than Harper. "Prime Minister Mark Carney plans to grant cabinet ministers the power to exempt any individual or company from any federal law on the books — except for the Criminal Code — for up to six years." www.thestar.com/politics/pol...

The Ottawa River at Arnprior. Yesterday this was all open water. In the 14 years we've lived here, I've never seen it get a full ice covering this fast or this early.

In case anyone had forgotten... Some of these people were probably killed by Canadian-made sniper rifles, sold to the UAE and passed on to the RSF. #MerchantOfDeath

Dear CBC, the genocide in Palestine is a fact and not 'open to debate'

The bell ringers will be out soon.

Translation: "We fully intend to allow the sale of armoured vehicles to a new gestapo that abducts people off the streets and rapes and tortures them. We're just embarrassed that people found out." www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-anita-anand-block-export-armoured-vehicles-ice/

“Roman Shimonov, CEO of Roshel…questioned the media focus on armoured-vehicle sales. “Why don’t they report on companies that sell socks to the U.S. government?”” I wondered if we’d have a serious discussion about this in Canada. Not looking good. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

Anti-woke crowd: "STOP CALLING US NAZIS!!!!" Also anti-woke crowd: "GRRAAHH!! WE'RE GOING TO COMMIT SO MANY MASS SHOOTINGS AND VEHICULAR HOMICIDES AGAINST PRIDE PARADES IN THIS GAME!!!"

NEW: I created a database profiling Toronto institutions Canadian IDF soldiers attended to get a better understanding of how they portray the Israeli military. The institutions, which all have charities, include schools, synagogues and summer camps. gtatoidf.com

Swans on the Ottawa River in December. A new one for us here.

A new tactic that protests everywhere should be looking at

Ladies and gentlemen, make sure to keep your elbows firmly up while inside the vehicles bound for a country that's going to use them to illegally kidnap innocent men, women, and children share.google/ANhrgIX5WcIm...

Hey Canada, guess what... We're not only arming Saudi and Israeli child killers, we're selling to the New Gestapo as well! Selling arms to human right violators is part of our Canadian heritage. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/ice-immigration-canada-tariffs-armored-vehicles-b2875951.html

Unpopular take: Given the actual biggest threat to Canadian security, Canadian soldiers should not be going to the IDF to study counter-insurgency. They should be going to Hamas, Hezbollah, Viet Cong vets and Mujahideen vets to learn assymetrical warfare and how to wage an insurgency.

I like it.

MP spends 10 years representing a governing party that subsidizes oil, fucks over FN and fails climate committments. New leader makes pipeline deal with Alberta and MP quits "because climate change and FN rights " Social media: Oooh finally a politician with principles!

If reconciliation actually meant something, this would be the final word

When Canadian media don't even bother to hide their bias anymore. #CdnMediaFailed

I've learned a Scots Gaelic curse that I am now reserving for all #genocide-supporting shits who belong at the ICC: Manadh do crochaidh ort 'May you have a premonition of your own hanging.'

The list of reasons to refer Mark Carney and other current and past @liberalca.bsky.social gvt members to the Hague just keeps growing. #GenocideinGaza #Collaboration

If you want to understand MAGA, the "Wonderful" scene in #Wicked part II explains it perfectly.

Reminder: the GPUs used for generative AI data centers are totally useless for anything else, and burn out in 3 years When the bubble pops you're not gonna be buying a formerly $50,000 GPU for your gaming, that thing is just electronic waste to give cancer to a kid in a landfill in the global south

It needs to be said: The Muppets never had a Trump cameo in any show or movie. But Sesame Street did once parody him. #Respect

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Interesting short piece on the virulent bigotry of Melvil Dewey and how it pervaded the system of book coding he created, which is still used in most libraries. www.facebook.com/share/p/17Nh...

Your reminder that Holocaust Harris was not cheated or robbed in the election. She lost it entirely on her own.

Fun fact: Carney wasn’t even welcome in Prince Rupert for this announcement — local nations including Lax Kw’alaams and Metlakatla are opposing Ksi Lisims LNG. He had to change the venue last minute, yet the Feds and province are still rushing to fast-track this giveaway to US billionaires. #bcpoli

One year, 4,464 calls, 92% required no police intervention. The Alternative Neighbourhood Crisis Response (ANCHOR) in Centretown is sending the right people to help in cases of mental health or substance use crises. It represents the de-tasking of police and it works. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The @ndp.ca must demand a formal investigation into the Canadian Border Services Agency, and how potential war criminals from the IDF were permitted to enter Canada without a problem, while respected UN rapporteur Richard Falk was detained and interrogated. @heathermcpherson.bsky.social

So Canadian Border Services Agency lets IDF war criminals freely enter the country without a problem, but harasses and interrogates a respected former UN official. share.google/xnwLKvQ8Smmw...

Not to get all Sun Tzu on it, but when the enemy is weak and divided amongst itself, you do not relieve the enemy by allowing their partisans into your camp. You drive them closer together, force them into tighter company, and intensify their conflict.

This was made over a decade ago. Imagine what the scorecard would look like now. #ApartheidIsrael #GenocideinGaza

OMFG FINALLY!!! A Canadian media analysis of racism in Canada which bluntly states that the problem is a domestic one endemic to our history and not some foreign imported phenomenon caused by the US youtu.be/E4M260gCxFQ
