NEW: University of Michigan Chinese researcher dies after allegedly "hostile questioning" by federal agents www.detroitnews.com/story/news/l...

The NYT literally rewrote Trump saying “open the fuckin’ strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in hell” as: “Mr. Trump issued a new ultimatum to Iran to end its chokehold over the Strait of Hormuz”

Honestly this is among the most depressing things I've seen in a while. Fundamentally anti-human, pro-loneliness.

Down by the river, a guy with a baby spotted an old guy who had unwisely walked out onto the mud bank and gotten both feet stuck deeply. Without a 2nd thought, the dad handed the baby to mum, carefully slopped his way through the mud, and pulled the man free. #kindmoment

Alberta government doesn't think an impact assessment is needed for Kevin O'Leary's monster data centre even though it will use about 24 million cubic meters of water annually — roughly 460,000 people's lifetime consumption. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/04/03/n...

What could go wrong when the man who repeatedly says he would like to annex Canada also asks for the greatest military budget in history, after already attacking two countries and threatening others?

I knew I had seen this scale of military build up somewhere before. "Trump requests record-breaking budget of 1.5 Trillion for Pentagon" - Washington Post "The unprecedented size of the military budget was impossible to hide from foreign observers." - Wikipedia, "Economy of Nazi Germany"

The New York Times rolling up its sleeves to do the hard work of normalizing the idea that women should not have the right to vote.

This is completely galling. I have said it before and I will reiterate that the years that Danielle Smith spent as a professional contrarian rotted her brain, and she now believes every unhinged conspiracy theory out there.

Giving “library inspectors” the right to look at your library card, your history, and what you’ve signed out is fascist behaviour. That's what the UCP's Bill 28 is all about.

It's an okay day. Cold. No rain. #StevestonBC #motorcycle #motosky

Canada has a strategic maple syrup reserve. 🍁 Someone just got caught selling fake syrup, cans labelled “pure” that were 50% sugar. This man looked into a hidden camera & said “it’s not entirely legal.” Sir, this is Canada. Maple syrup fraud is basically treason. - EH! Canada’s Social Network ❤️

No you didn't, you did fuck all writing. You created absolute trash.

Today in "Things Liberals fought against when Harper did them but now are good actually when Carney does them".

You did not write a novel.

Judges in Alberta live in Alberta. They are chosen by their peers. It’s non political. That’s what Smith objects to. She wants handpicked judges beholden to her. #abpoli #cdnpoli

Every day there's a new "professional gets humiliated when they're caught using AI to do their job for them without checking the work" story, and every day some fresh professional logs on and decides to roll the dice.

If you're familiar with the "backrooms" concept, then you'll probably know about the young digital filmmaker under the YouTube account "Kane Pixels", produced a series of intensely spooky short films. Now the guy has a feature film full of movie stars! I'm super excited. youtu.be/0HjdiohVOik?...

The fact that food banks even exist is proof that successive governments have failed in their duties. Food banks are a privately funded bandaid used to cover inadequate government programs. That the bandaid itself is now failing means the government is failing Canadians more than ever before.

As a survivor (barely) of conversion therapy....I feel like crawling under my desk and crying. All the more reason to support organizations for homeless LGBTQIA+ youth, the Trevor Project, etc., with your $$$ and time and whatever you can give.

It's so disheartening to me that a writer would do this. If you don't want to write, don't be a writer! Seriously. There are many other options.

This is ridiculous. 1) Good luck opening that Pandora's Box. 2) Alberta already appoints provincial court judges, which handle the bulk of criminal cases. 3) The premise here is utterly false. Federally-appointed judges aren't parachuted in. They come from the province and communities they serve.

There is no solar power crisis. No wind power crisis. No insulation crisis. No heat pump crisis. No e-bike crisis. No electric bus crisis. But there is a #fossilfuel crisis. And a #climatecrisis.

Standing up *against* Trump. Freudian slip there, because Carney is 100% priming the Canadian extraction economy for international corporate interest. I truly don’t believe he gives a shit if that’s American or any one else, hence working with slavers like Qatar.

"Lost in the flag-waving and wide berth given to the government is the one small trick that builds social trust and encourages national buy-in while supporting Canadians in their day-to-day lives: the welfare state." #CdnPoli

It's wild to me how many intelligent people are saying the NDP just chose "extremism." I dunno, man. Maybe watching the world order and the social safety net crumble over the last six years has made me an extremist, too but wanting to meet people's basic needs is literally what socialism is?

The Alberta NDP believes in more pipelines and reducing emissions. So... magic. They believe in magic.

Get in losers, we're doing a General Strike. www.rawstory.com/date-announc...

remember when Musk & Zuckerberg tried to convince everyone they were going to have an MMA fight IRL? yeah, this is how they talk to each other in private:

Please stop spreading this rage bait. The quote everyone's angry about, about "crappy identity politics," is not from Weir.

Trump bombing Iran was the best thing that happened to Putin the last few years. He was running out of cash and about to have to pull out of Ukraine. Then, trump stepped in and saved the day, making me wonder - AGAIN - what Putin has on him.

No kings but Elvis. Give 'em hell today folks. Rallies across North America and rallies against Ford in Ontario. www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4cs...

I’ve been seeing some things about this, and I’m pointing to it because it’s such a good example of how easy it is to form an opinion from a screencap of a headline. It’s a good reminder: if it makes you angry/irritated/annoyed, it’s worth looking into what’s actually being said.

Have you seen this yet? This is wrong. Parliament is supposed to be a civic space — the one room in this country where every faith, and no faith, stands on equal ground.

Met a #roadrager while riding in #RichmondBC. The light turned green, but I couldn't go bc a car hadn't cleared the intersection. Black pickup behind me leans on the horn then tailgates me through the intersection before roaring past in the oncoming lane, flipping me off. #motorcycle

1. Idaho has passed the most extreme anti-trans law in the nation, a bathroom ban. The second offense would be 5 years in jail, and the 4th offense could lead to life in prison due to Idaho's 3 strikes law. It now heads to Governor Brad Little's desk. Subscribe to support our journalism.

This is the language of Kristallnacht and the Holocaust. The language of the Red Summer and the Trail of Tears. Rwanda and Bosnia. The Holodomor, Armenia, and East Timor. It’s the language of othering, dehumanizing an entire people to justify their extermination. It’s the language of genocide.

This scandal only happens as the result of willful ignorance by the Trudeau and Carney gov'ts. In thrall to the siren song of predictive analytics and generative AI, and focused only on economic opportunities, they both effectively ignored and sidelined critical (expert) opinion. This is the result.

Hey leftists, it’s ok to discuss disagreements about strategy, but if you say people who take COVID precautions: - are too scared to leave the house - demand that everyone wear a mask 24/7 - are terrified of a just a "cold" You are using far right anti-science talking points.
