Canadian politicians should watch this. Particularly today's CPC crew. The best way forward, in fact the only way to ensure long term survival, is kindness and collaboration. youtu.be/mScpHTIi-kM?...

Why are CONservatives so twisted? Because the Liberals have the guy they want, just on the other team! #cdnpoli

Took our new #dog Maizey out for a long walk today. She was a #rescue from the #SPCA, found abandoned with a bad case of mange. One look, and we were smitten. She has been with us for about 2 weeks, so we're still getting to know each other, but I think she's happy with us. She's a good girl.

As someone looking to move to Nova Scotia to work and live closer to family, I just learned about the Nova Scotia Deed Land Transfer Tax. This is a major deterrent to bringing in skilled labor. I thought we were trying to reduce interprovincial barriers. #cdnpoli #novascotia

1/12 As a plane load of Afrikaner “refugees” departed South Africa for their new home in the USA, I reflected on a recent 3 weeks I spent in South Africa. It was my fourth trip to the country, and won’t be my last. What an amazing country it is! The landscape is unbelievably beautiful.

Holy crap

EXCELLENT breakdown from our friends at @dogwoodbc.bsky.social on what Pierre Poilievre's platform means for renters – and why real estate moguls and developers are stoked (plus what it means for the climate) 👇 #CanadaStrong #CostOfLivingCrisis #Election2025 #Elxn45 #DontTrumpCanada

I thought Mark Carney acquitted himself quite well in tonight’s French language debate. Definitely a leader. Definitely knows what he’s doing. And definitely his own man. Love Jagmeet Singh’s passionate defense of both Gaza and our health care system. #cdnpoli #debate

It seems to me that the notwithstanding clause is just Canada's version of America's executive order, so I'm not shocked that Poilievre is already planning to use it. #cdnpoli

Canadian physician, Dr. Danielle Martin owns the Americans! #cdnpoli

Hey #Canadianmedia, if the #cpc candidates won't answer your questions, don't cover their events! #cdnpoli

In September, I helped start a #family #Adventure Club. It has been a hit with kids, and parents, too. We do hikes, camping and STEM activities twice a month.

As someone who may have benefitted from foreign interference, would he be motivated to deal with it? www.bbc.com/news/article...

The level of incompetence is staggering, but not at all surprising. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Finally! We have the answer to climate change denial and it comes from the greediest people on earth: Insurance companies. 🧪

St. John's is saying goodbye to X, and nearby municipalities are considering the same Mount Pearl, Paradise also reviewing social media platforms - like Bluesky #NFLD www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I'm not sure what the general sentiment is on this, but I Do Not support Canadian tarrifs on foreign #electricvehicles Blocking progressive technology that helps transition to a greener economy is a bad idea. If China makes the best #EVs for the best price, we should use them. #Canada #canpoli

If you are in #journalism or other public #media, think about referencing #Bluesky posts the way you currently do for posts on X. Help spread the word and build momentum for this platform as a real alternative that doesn't pad the pockets of a specific billionaire.

Ahead of Germany’s election, with anti-immigrant sentiment rising, they released viral videos showing life without immigrants. History proves that when a country starts erasing certain people, it doesn’t end well. 🧵

If @mark-carney.bsky.social and the liberals win the next election, I'd really like to see them deliver on election reform in Canada the way the Trudeau Liberals didn't. That would show real change. #cdnpoli

Frustrating. Tragic. Brave. Real. These are the first words that come to mind after listening to the NPR podcast Alternate Realities. I highly recommend this. www.npr.org/2025/02/23/1...

Now that’s an American. The kind I’ve known all my life. More of this from all of you please.

Have you seen this? www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmDV...

The hottest level of hell for people on planes who watch movies on their phones without headphones. 🔥 🔥 🔥 Who raised these monsters?!?! When did this become ok? #manners #etiquette #petpeeves

If this happens, amazing! If it happens in my lifetime, double amazing. If it happens, in my lifetime, and doesn't break down in the first snowstorm, unbelievably double amazing. #trains #publictransportation www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

If nothing else it demonstrates how he doesn’t have an original thought to bring to the table #cdnpoli

Pierre Poilievre is against all of this. #cdnpoli #peipoli

1/3 I was a federal public servant in Canada for many years. I once got a complaint about how long a project was taking. The person was frustrated with the regulations and paperwork and wanted us to "just do it". My boss, a career "bureaucrat" close to retirement, gave the best response:

I just deactivated my X account. It was easy. You should, too.

Good to see the Canadian news keeping its sense of humour.

Staffers at "U.S.-funded medical facilities in Sudan who care for severely malnourished children had a choice to make: Defy President Donald Trump’s order to immediately stop their operations or let up to 100 babies and toddlers die. They chose the children." www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Meanwhile, in Africa... a whole lot of people, including many pregnant women in the country I am currently living in, didn't eat today because of a 90-day freeze on US funded programs. Agencies have the food, but they aren't allowed to distribute it. People are going to die because of this.

"DO WHAT I WANT, OR I'LL MAKE MY PEOPLE PAY MORE FOR YOUR STUFF!" That sounds like a really stupid threat, but it's turning out to be stupidly effective. I get why, but I also can't help but feel that we're all stupider because of it. #tariffs #stupid

This weekend, we took a bunch of families on a great hike to Zombepata. It was a great challenge, and we saw some inspiring rock art, thousands of years old. These images are unique among Zimbabwean Rock Art sites. Their meaning remains a mystery.

In Bee news 🐝 🐝 🐝 Yesterday, I rescued a colony of honey bees from a property in my neighborhood that had moved into a utility pit. They now have a new home where they can live in symbiosis rather than conflict with people. #beekeeping #honeybees #beerescue

1/2 For the last year or more, I've really been noticing T-glotilization by younger american podcasters and YouTubers. Is this increasing in North American english? Some exames: - Impor'an (instead of Important) - Markeh (instead of Market) - Pass (instead of Past) - Baa'en (instead of Button)
