It's interesting how Klein assumes, apparently at such a deep level he doesn't notice it, that "believe in the possibility of change" inherently means change for the better, and that broadcasting these views to tons of people couldn't possibly change anyone, including Klein, for the worse.

yet another reason to ditch the “smart” speakers and voice “assistants”

all mayors should get rear ended by a tram until they do something good imo

“The fine for not paying the fare is $260” Guess what the fine is for not paying for parking? (Hint: $70 ($50 early)) #autowa @mayormarksutcliffe.bsky.social

1300 x $4.15 = $5395 Fare collector salary = $32/hr So far this year, OC Transpo one Transit Fare Enforcement Officer (TFEO) has cost Ottawa taxpayers $15,369.

Has Israel acknowledged the existence of its nuclear weapons program? "But the result has been that it has taken Iran longer to get to a bomb...than North Korea, India, Pakistan or Israel, all of which now have nuclear arsenals." www.nytimes.com/2026/04/13/u...

There used to be a speed camera here.

If it's seen as reasonable to fly an American flag at your demonstration, in Canada, in 2026, you're probably on the wrong side of history.

there is no politician so irreplaceable that we must overlook sexual misconduct because nobody else could possibly fill their shoes

It's so gross.

We know the Times has a bad habit of employing the exonerative voice when it comes to Israel's crimes...but credit where credit is due: they got it right this time.

I'm glad the players are enjoying it but as a viewer I feel like the @rockleague.bsky.social vibes aren't quite right yet. You get the sense that no one really cares who wins or loses. There's a palpable lack of intensity. That said, contrived drama would be much worse.

Bringing a far right, anti-science, anti-climate voice into a political party is dangerous - and a revelation of where PM Carney has brought the Liberals Is there any pushback within the party? Silence is endorsement

on this (& nothing else) i'm a squishy centrist: i think if you reflexively hate all liberals or all socialists/leftists, you're being a bit juvenile

Iran has told Pakistan mediators that it will officially withdraw from ceasefire. Hormuz is now shut back down. Iran and Hezbollah will respond to Israeli aggression on Lebanon, with Yemen & Iraq now joining in the response saying they will not commit to a ceasefire that doesnt include Lebanon.

Time for Liberals of conscience to start crossing the floor to the NDP. How can Ottawa Centre MP @yasirnaqvicdn.bsky.social be okay with welcoming a convoy supporter?? Stabbing his constituents in the back.

Neither country has a legitimate claim to the Strait of Hormuz... but the US claim is far less legitimate than Iran's.

Iranians went out on the streets to protest the Iranian regime. Palestinians have been bravely resisting the Israeli occupation. I don't want to hear American excuses for not doing anything to stop your regime from genociding us.

People in the future will resent having been cautioned that trying to stop this shit was not a safe thing to do.

"I am putting the world on notice that if the President of the United States uses a nuclear weapon against Tehran, a city of nine million souls, the Republican Party will pay for it at the ballot box in November." —Chuck Schumer

ya don't say

That a president of the US, the ongoing global hegemon, can plausibly threaten a crime of this magnitude and the country, the world, doesn’t come to an immediate stop is an indictment of our entire system

I'm finding it hard to work today.

“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.

I think people are allowed to draw conclusions about the American people based on their decision to put this man in office bsky.app/profile/pear...

He is insane. And this is an open declaration of intended genocide. If any other world leader said this, there would be sanctions and an arrest warrant, not just for him, but for his whole regime.

The rest of the world should probably collectively stand up to the U.S. right now, tbh

If the world knows that the President of the United States is about to commit war crimes by bombing the infrastructure of another country, isn’t it imperative that he be prevented from doing so rather than simply watch it happen

Hearing again and again from Jews that their history has essentially been colonized by Zionism... To what extent was your history colonized by supremacists of your culture? For me, it's the ongoing erasure of socialist Ukrainians in Canada and Ukraine by Ukrainian nationalists. I hate it so much.

I no longer think Canada should distance itself from the US. I now think we should lead a regime change operation. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/05/u...

Long lost David Bowie album "The Godfather and the Egg McMuffin."

For the past three years since hes been councillor, David Brown has voted in favour of fare increases and cuts to routes that have devastated our system, including his rural residents and now he's using that as an excuse to privatize a public service. Councillors must defeat his motion.
