Keep your head on a swivel, folks.

It seems that doing business with genociders is OK but don't protest those war crimes. "The protest took place outside of Aspen Insurance which provides services to Israeli arms firm Elbit Systems." www.bbc.com/news/article...

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

Halifax commissions a report either by city staff or consultants every decade or so to discover these facts, only for them to be so horrifying to the majority suburban/rural council that it unlearns the information. Only to repeat the cycle again once enough have left office.

“this type of development is self-defeating. As more people move into more low-density subdivisions, they have to move farther away from the city and the open country in turn moves farther away from them. Continuation of this trend would have very grave consequences.”

While this is to be lauded, it always frustrates me that masking is *initiated* when levels are high. The best time to mask in hospitals is always; the second best time is when it is patently obvious that prevalence of flu / RSV / Covid is low but *increasing*. www.derryjournal.com/health/face-...

I feel as though there should be a law that says if Pierre Poilievre gets defenestrated as CPC leader in January then he has to move to Battle River—Crowfoot and live there until the next election because I think this would teach everyone involved an invaluable lesson about shenanigans.

It's especially wild because Amazon and other private courier companies were written about at length in the report that the government is basing its Canada Post overhaul on! pressprogress.ca/canada-post-...

See?

Mike Diamond, president of the ON PC party for many years, is a Roger Stone superfan. They've spent quality time together, with the Orange Pedo.

“Ultimately, I don’t have good answer as to why this was debated for so long.” I know a pretty good one: urbanist wonks call it "motonormativity" and the populists among them call it "car brain" thewaroncars.org/episode-99-c...

"There's a reason why it was in there in the first place, right?" Emery said in an interview. "You have to have things in the legislation to protect them long term." The government did not consult libraries about the changes in Bill C-15, she added. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The first reporter to speak up, interrupt, and call Trump out to his face while he is berating, insulting and personally attacking another female reporter for no reason will be a national hero. You may lose access, but you will be a legend forever. At some point, someone has to.

"ICRC recommends that people consult online catalogs or references in existing published scholarly works to find references to real studies instead of assuming anything cited by an AI is real, no matter how authoritative it might sound." www.scientificamerican.com/article/ai-s...

In Chicago, Illinois, a U.S. citizen was filming in public when their car door was ripped open and their phone was smashed to the ground.

Trump will probably put tariffs on Canadian fertilizers... wait for it... just before planting season. This guy is a genius. www.bnnbloomberg.ca/tariffs/2025...

If they respond (and they will respond) to the mask you wear and the precautions you take by telling you that at this point nobody cares about the pandemic anymore, remember: the fact that they feel so compelled to tell you this is because your actions are proving them wrong.

"But the Trump administration is also putting its own twist on the autocratic playbook, with several innovations that have no parallel among contemporary autocrats who have come to power through elections." via @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social lucid.substack.com/p/how-the-tr...

UPDATE: Instead of addressing the ample criticism against C-9, some MPs want to add a new offence as an amendment during the clause-by-clause analysis, which would further infringe on our rights & freedoms! Read more & take action again if you have already: iclmg.ca/withdraw-bil... Thanks! #StopC9

Conservatives everywhere: “Let’s get away with whatever grift we can get away with until we get caught. Then backtrack, saying either we apologize or we never knew. Works every time🤷🏼” 🍁🙄🍁

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime. If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder. It’s that simple.

“We only listen to judges who agree with us” gotta say I don’t think the judge will agree with that

He said treaties, such as Treaty 6, were agreements to share resources, not surrender authority over land or water. The legislation and rapid project approvals often ignore those obligations. “We agreed to share. We didn't agree to be oppressed,” he said. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/26/n...

“There are 20 Liberals from British Columbia in the House of Commons. If the Alberta deal goes ahead as predicted, there will be about five after the next federal election, retired Mount Royal University political scientist Keith Brownsey predicted Wednesday.”

Public Transit has a marketing problem in Canada. Not to customers (who love it) but to senior governments (who are apparently not even aware it exists). May I propose: "Transit. It's like a pipeline, but for people!"

I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities. Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise bylinetimes.com/2025/11/25/m...

A 79-year-old U.S. citizen has filed a civil rights lawsuit demanding $50 million after being arrested and injured during an immigration raid at his business in Van Nuys, Los Angeles.

So yesterday Trump was holding hands with MBS, and today he's demanding the execution of two Senators and four Representatives. Seems like something rubbed off

Wake up America! We have a problem in US with religious extremists imposing their religious beliefs as law. Currently 12 states imposed a total abortion ban based on religious beliefs. That is what "sharia law" looks like--it must be stopped! #ChristianShariaLaw #ShariaLaw

The CPC isn't just hinting at MAGA extremism, Jamil Jivani has staked his political future on two things: attacking immigrants and attacking what he has named Liberal Racism (DEI). noraloreto.substack.com/p/jamil-jiva...

In a move worthy of the Harper gov't... www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

They’re not “donations.” They’re bribes. Donald Trump took $116 million in bribes from at least 30 individuals or companies who then directly benefited from his actions. Everyone understands it, and yet he’s still allowed to sell off his policies to the highest bidder.

Willingly scarring your body to own the libs. These people are straight up insane. This is Manson Family shit

Cue the "progressive" Carney loyalists to rationalize Canada moving backwards on climate.

"The AI training workers are of a kind with the other Mechanical Turks: we don’t see them, but the AI doesn’t exist without them. The exploitation is not a byproduct of the technology; it’s baked right into it. You cannot separate the two." www.halifaxexaminer.ca/morning-file...

"I’m astonished that folks who have made decisions to not shop at Amazon, to ditch their Spotify accounts, or to boycott unethically-produced sweatshop goods continue to use AI, whose impact is more destructive than all those other things combined."

"So it’s very natural, when faced with a new technology, to think, “How great; this is terrific; let’s use this.” But once you use it you begin to understand the downside. In our culture, it’s taken a very long time to understand the downside."
