HAPPENING NOW IN MILAN Hundreds of people have gathered at Piazza XXV Aprile in Milan for an anti-ICE protest. This comes after it was announced an ICE unit will deploy to Italy for the Winter Olympics. Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala said that ICE would not be welcome in his city.

Nursing students and nurses gathered for a candlelight vigil in Saskatoon tonight in honour of Minnesota nurse Alex Pretti, joining our friends at the @NationalNursesUnited and many across the world. Rest in power, Alex. nursesunions.ca/statement-on... #Nurse2NurseSolidarity

PM Carney should start his own board of kick ass Canadians to make Trump jealous AF….Geddy & Alex, Trailer Park Boys, KD Lang, Pam Anderson, Dan Aykroyd, Neil Young, Joni, all the Gords, Humble & Fred.

What Carney said about NATO & trade was hugely important, but it’s what he said about truth that’s even more so. His choice of Vaclav Havel was not accidental. His concept of ‘living in truth’ is an essential guide to this moment open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

EU’s Kaja Kallas: No country has the right to take over the territory of another. Not in Ukraine. Not in Greenland. Not anywhere in the world.

Jean Chrétien’s principled leadership, decades of public service, and lifelong commitment to a stronger Canada has built a remarkable legacy for our country. Happy 92nd birthday, Jean — Vive le Canada!

A lot of what we’re living through right now is driven by hyper masculinized ideas of power: dominance, conquest, punishment, zero-sum thinking. When women hold power the data confirms fewer wars, more investment in health and education and better conflict resolution. I am ready for women to rule!

🇬🇧🎄🇺🇦A Ukrainian choir took part in the Christmas greeting from the King of the United Kingdom, Charles III, who wished everyone "a peaceful and very happy Christmas."

Merry Christmas, Canada.

Being Canadian means we are treacherous because we made an incompetent hater look "silly." In case you missed it, please watch the CBS documentary. Here is the link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jieh... Btw... waiting for another Christmas threat from Trump. He's losing it.

Thousands of members of the Canadian Armed Forces are spending Christmas away from home – standing on guard for our freedoms, and those of our allies. In this increasingly dangerous and divided world, we are ever more grateful for your service and sacrifice. Merry Christmas.

I take serious issue with the US trying to bully Canada into making changes to our rules, regulations and trying to overrun our markets with American products. The US can promote their own businesses and markets and tell us to not intrude on their laws, that is fine, that's them, /1 thread

Ron DeSantis is telling Doug Ford to put up or shut up. He's laughing at Canadians. He thinks we are going to come back and spend money in a state where they put people in cages. You might push Doug around Ron but Canadians are done with your hate state. www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/poli...

ROB REINER: “This is just the beginning, and people have to understand our democracy is being taken away from us. We have a year before this country becomes a full on autocracy…

I love soccer and I remember each World Cup with great intensity and always so much look forward to the next. But FIFA that was disgusting, even more disgusting than usual, and now I just can’t. And won’t.

Post-menopausal bleeding is cancer until proven otherwise. It is also one the four most common cancers in women. Listen to White Coat Black Art on Sat Dec 6 at 1:30pm ET to hear me speak with @nightshiftmd about uterine cancer and wait times for gyne surgery in Canada. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Colleen Jones asked me to interview her a couple of months ago during a chemotherapy appointment. She told me to write one heck of a story. I hope I did her proud. About always believing something wonderful is about to happen. My tribute to Colleen: www.cbc.ca/sports/olymp...

Greetings from Kyiv. I’ve just listened to Zelenskyy’s address to the Ukrainian people. My opinion? This man knows what is right. Ukraine is under enormous pressure from the current US administration. Zelenskyy made it clear: he wants a decent peace. We all do. Decent peace is not capitulation.

America isn’t sending their best

He’s not the problem…

I need to tell you what's happening right now.

Tonight, the House of Commons has voted to pass Budget 2025. It’s time to work together to deliver on this plan — to protect our communities, empower Canadians with new opportunities, and build Canada strong.

Happy 80th birthday to my friend and high school classmate Neil Young. What a remarkable, incomparable talent. Across so many genres with so many unforgettable songs. Plus, he is a patriot of courage, moral force, and commitment. And a really good guy!

Dear @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. Congratulations on your historic victory. At the risk of speaking for any of my fellow Canadians, please feel free to completely ignore Kevin O’Leary. I think he’s generally reviled in Canada. I’d be surprised if anyone in our entire country would return his calls.

Please watch and share. Pete Hoekstra is fundamentally unfit to be ambassador. His record of race-baiting and extremist disinformation needs to be called out. MAGA is actively undermining our nation. Canada needs to send him packing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jThL...

Steve Schmidt talking to CBC about the ad his org made, using another Reagan speech, talking about the relationship 🇺🇲 had with 🇨🇦 before the tangerine totalitarian got the idea to break our economy to force us to surrender our sovereignty & submit to his fascist shitshow. youtu.be/oCYGxrEv65I?...

Carney: "We can't control the trade policy of the US. We recognize it has fundamentally changed from the policy in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, & it's a situation where US has tariffs against every trading partner... what we we can control is developing new partnerships, including w/econ giants of Asia"

#BREAKING: Today, I am announcing the Ontario NDP's Fans First plan: ban ticket resale above face value. If a ticket says $100, fans should pay $100. Not a cent more. If Ford votes this down, fans will know exactly who to blame. 📣 Add your name to demand action: FairPricesNow.ca

Thinking about this from a U.S. perspective: If our neighbors have been ripping us off — as Trump insists — then not trading with them must be good for the United States. But when you actually write that down and spend a moment thinking about it, it sounds like an utterly absurd economic strategy 🤔

Stand up for No Kings Day. I was asked to record a solidarity message for the rallies in Montreal and Toronto. Mon message à MAGA États-Unis est simple - bye bye mon Cowboy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNnJ...

To our friends in the U.S. taking to the streets for NO TYRANTS / NO KINGS, Canadians stand with you. Stay safe. Stay strong. Look out for one another. We’ve got your back. youtu.be/MNnJuiiSPDw?...

START SPREADING THE NEWS THE TORONTO BLUE JAYS ARE HEADING TO THE AMERICAN LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES And you can turn out the lights on the New York Yankees. Bullpen game for the Jays. No problem. What a win. What a team. Oh baby for sure.

I headed down to the massive fortress that is the U.S. Embassy in Ottawa to find out how MAGA Pete Hoekstra got the job as ambassador. The guy's resume is dismal. But here he is as Trump's top agitator, provocateur, and gaslighter in Canada. youtu.be/u71cK2lT-hM?...

I know I've asked this a few times recently but I've been very unwell for much of this year & am trying to get back on my feet again financially by teaching my workshops again alongside running my Etsy shop. Please could you give my posts above/below about my workshop a RT if you have a moment?...🌿

ONA members put the Victorian Order of Nurses board on notice that it must respect and pay home care nurses properly. Registered nurses working in home care are the lowest paid nurses in the province. Read the full story: https://onamag.org/fuel/provincial-campaigns/home-care-is-hanging-by-a-thread/

On behalf of a proud nation, massive congratulations to Team Canada for an incredible run in the Rugby World Cup 🇨🇦 —   Au nom d’une fière nation, je tiens à féliciter sincèrement l’équipe canadienne féminine pour son incroyable parcours à la Coupe du monde de rugby. 🇨🇦

I called my Mom to see how she is doing. She broke her arm but was out again this morning with the Grandmothers Against Genocide vigil. She said, "Do you know someone named Timothy Snyder?" Wow Mom. He is the expert on fascism. She said he took a picture of her sign. My Mom rocks.

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

Ukrainian festival in Toronto is just starting up.

Sorry. Not sorry. You elect a convicted felon who allows people to be kidnapped off the streets and tells Canada he will break our nation. No we won't drink your bourbon and make nice. We are a nation that believes in the rule of law. Consider this a renaissance moment for CDN whisky.

So frustrated watching American commentators completely missing the mark on why Canadians are boycotting US travel & products. Here's a handy list of the real reasons why many Canadians may never return to the US:
