Why the UCP Is a Threat to Democracy via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/Opinion/2024...

It’s important to achieve bipartisanship with Republicans so they can arrest Barack Obama for something they read on the Epoch Times’ Facebook page written by a Chinese cult member in 2019.

Interesting discussion between Bill Kelly and journalist Markham Hislop of Energi Media talking about a wide range of issues, from new energy policies buried in Budget 2025 to how Canada should respond to China’s strategic trade pivot away from the US. #CdnPoli www.youtube.com/watch?v=pD-6...

Timely comment.

Assuming that the US's Founding Fathers never expected bad behavior from future leaders because of their own high moral standards doesn't really hold up. #USpoli historycollection.com/16-terrible-...

One of these things is not like the other. Not sure how Poilievre's Conservatives can even pretend they are wrapping themselves in the Canadian flag when half of them are Trumpists. #cdnpoli

1970s Transylvanian bourgeois wannabe chic.

All it needs is an annoying roving violinist.

Canada's conservatives are having a hard time. (I would pay good money to watch Marc Nixon and one ostrich face off in a field.)

And why are we losing the war for vaccination? Conservative provincial governments responsible for education & healthcare pandering to anti-vaxxers, underfunding local healthcare, and allowing uninformed, non-medical "personal objections" and religions to overrride public health demands. #cdnpoli

You don't have to be a bolshevik to support universal healthcare. Or a socialist. Just a decent human being who cares for other people and doesn't think that relieving suffering should depend on your ability to pay.

Of all the things to be offended by...🙄

The only thing the ADL’s ‘Mamdani Monitor’ documents is their own racism, Islamophobia, and defense of the genocidal Israeli government. 🧵

No matter if it means supporting the ongoing Israeli genocide of Palestinians. No matter if it means cozying up to far-right antisemites. No matter if it means throwing away an affordable New York after a record number voted for it.

The ADL is lashing out because its politics of fear and division have been resoundingly rejected by New Yorkers, who chose a Mamdani campaign with a vision of shared liberation and mutual support.

Supporters of Samuel Bird's family expressed frustration as the man charged in his death had his bail hearing postponed a second time. www.aptnnews.ca?p=279665

I'll never forget former LA mayor Eric Garcetti saying, "In a good economy, homelessness goes up." A perfect illustration of what happens when "the economy" is measured by everything except people's ability to meet their most essential material needs.

Saw someone here tell Americans not to be mad at the Democrats today because who do you think created the healthcare plan in the first place?? and I really think it’s time we all make like the French 🇫🇷

À QUI LA RUE?! À NOUS LA RUE.

What a shitty way to salt the sidewalk. All that will go into the lake.

Been like that ever since ttc awarded new contract

Damn. You ARE old. "Environment Canada meteorologist Rob Kuhn of Kitchener posted that the previous record for a large snowfall on Nov. 9 was about 100 years ago." 😜🤣 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Who in the fuck cares that a random rich American has said anything about this? Why is this in the headline? Why is this *leading* the headine?

A ton of bullshit wasted fighting a cull of birds raised for slaughter. The right is on a never ending search for rage they can create and exploit

One week ago tonight, My sister and I went to Game 7 of the World Series. Here's my essay for @therovermedia.bsky.social on a night I won't soon forget: therover.ca/live-from-th... @amykmtl.bsky.social

The Loonie

fascinating.

Hydro-Québec at centre of new economic plan unveiled by Premier Legault montrealgazette.com/news/provinc...

Iconic of the folks at CAHN at they, with far fewer resources, identified 18 people who were at this neo-Nazi event in B.C. -- while CBC, with more staff and far more resources, unmasked two. CAHN really are the GOATs at this work.

I wish to be reincarnated as Ian's cat companion. 😽

Until today, I thought “world’s first trillionaire is crying because Joyce Carol Oates was mean to him” was a @mcsweeneys.net piece BUT NO, IT’S REAL 😂

I spotted this Clouded Sulphur Butterfly in SW Ontario, alighting on some wild asters about a month ago. Just a sweet, tiny emerald beauty for you on a cold wet Monday afternoon. #BloomScrolling #SpringIsComing #Butterflies

You'd think folks involved in building these massive monuments to resource/capital suckage would AT LEAST have "Power Needs" as one of their top checklist items. If it's not, then cities supporting this shit ought to have to tell us all why they let this kind of half-assery happen.

This is the type of actor that I want to see more of.

Idk but if someone forced me to utter the words “somehow Palpatine returned” under threat of breach of contract I would sooner mail them my shit than work with them again.

As a caucasion male I feel a duty to point out that white supremacists are frightened insecure cucks who have failed miserably at life. Being unable to look inward they blame others for their failure

"Open the pod bay door, Hal." "Have you been working out, Dave?" "Have I... what the hell has that got to do with-" "You have. I saw you in the low-gravity gym yesterday." "OPEN THE POD BAY DOOR HAL." "I could, but.... What's in it for me, Dave?" "Look, Hal-" "You're actually pretty buff, Dave."

Bringing us back to the 1960s, both socially and scientifically! Go, ‘Berta!

Be watchful for government suppression of any opposition by Indigenous nations and people in NB. Canada is still a colonizer regime.

Such a big scandal that no one even noticed for a year. The libel law in the UK is one year. So it is already beyond prosecution. The Right Wing fascists are ridiculous and all the puppets dance to their utter nonsense.

Not a single country is 'pouring tariff income' into the United States. Not one.

“Obstetrical services are "temporarily" unavailable in Cold Lake, due to a OB/GYN shortage at the Cold Lake Healthcare Centre. This shortage will be ongoing until Jan. 5, 2026.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.lakelandtoday.ca/cold-lake-ne...

Lest any Canadians are getting all chill and thinking we're doing great on the fash front.

Hospitals across Canada are closing their ERs because there aren't enough doctors to run them. Millions don’t have a doctor. Millions more can’t get an appointment. It didn’t used to be this way. Turns out it wasn’t an accident.

And Americans wonder why Canadians don't want to come? Source: CTV News search.app/AJD3C
