@TheresaReason I'm curious what folks' family grocery budget is. We seem to do ok on $1200/month for a family of 5 (dad/mom/teen/10&5yo). I shop the sales and stick to the discount stores (GT/FoodBasics/NoFrills) and game the PC Optimum points for pantry/freezer stuff where it makes sense […]

Hello Fellow Canadians, Mark Carney here. I know grocery prices are turning the screw and making it harder to make ends meet so we are going to return some of your tax dollars to you to cover your milk and cheese budget for... *checks notes* 2 weeks. Maybe three if you bring coupons. What's […]

I live by a pool / recreation centre and can see there are a lot of people that seem to live in vans, campers, cars who come to use the showers etc. Some live so by choice, yes. But unhoused folks we see on the street are just the tip of an iceberg. #canada #homeless #affordabilitycrisis

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@molly0xfff/115953575574318349 One of the many reasons why all of us should make regular donations to support the Wikipedia project that is being relentlessly scraped by the AI bots. Support it financially or lose it.

Stand up! #uspolitics #cdnpoli

White folks in the U.S.: I encourage you to sit with the fact that this feeling you're feeling, that you could be gunned down by a cop for no reason without them facing any repercussions, is a feeling that every Black person living in the U.S. for the past 400 years has justifiably felt for […]

Hey #canada - Do you find it weird that our politicians are using US social media platforms to talk with Canadians? Do you wish they’d get serious about protecting our digital sovereignty? Check out @ElbowsUpforDigitalSovereignty #elbowsup

Hey #canada The US government's personal militia is murdering people in the streets with no consequences. They are gleeful to do so. They are disappearing men and women and children in concentration camps. If you are Canadian and you are one of the 70% of traveller's STILL choosing to go to […]

Hurray!🥳🥳 Journalist, filmmaker, activist and (hopefully) the next federal #NDP leader @avilewis has joined the fedi folks! Welcome and glad you are here, Avi:) #canada #CndPoli #bcpoli

With #meta blocking stories about the protests and strike in #Minnessota, it is a reminder of why platforms like the fediverse are important. This is a video of the clergy protest at the MSP airport today, passed along by a colleague, at which 97 clergy were […] [Original post on mstdn.ca]

Respect to all the brave and principled Minnesotans who are walking off the job today and/or closing their businesses.

Hey Canadians! Here is a worthy petition! #banx #dumpmusk https://you.leadnow.ca/petitions/ban-x-twitter-in-canada?source=rawlink&utm_source=rawlink&share=512022f3-6cfb-421f-bddb-4817751956bf

@TheresaReason I called my Premier's and MP's offices today to ask why they are still on Twitter. My MLA is not on Twitter.

I need advice. Would you accept a job offer if you were actually waiting on a more desirable posting you applied to, just as back up plan? It feels unethical, especially as both jobs are with the same employer (a college). I feel I should decline and hope for the best or am I being foolish? […]

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

I would love to see Ashley McIsaac drag Google through defamation court hell for this. AI lies all.the.time. https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/ashley-macisaac-ai-accusation-9.7026786

I hope everyone who dropped the NDP to vote for Carney has buyer's remorse today. A PPC minority government with an NDP vote breaking number of seats could have been more effective at shutting down BS like this dirty oil pipeline Carney and Daniellle are trying to ram through. A shameful day for […]

It's been a chaotic couple of weeks but I'm on my way to Vancouver Island wootwoot! I won't have to be the adult in the room for a couple days, it's truly gonna be the best feeling.

I'm not sure how it happened but I am now at the age where young people offer me a seat on the bus or technical support at the ticket booth. It's appreciated youths, keep it up😘

I just grabbed the wrong spice shaker and sprinkled my fried eggs with cinnamon instead of garlic powder. We'll see how this pans out.

#thefarside #farside #comic https://www.thefarside.com/2025/10/01/4 The woods were dark and foreboding, and Alice sensed that sinister eyes were watching her every step. Worst of all, she knew that Nature abhorred a vacuum.

Why can't they just release the belugas into the ocean? If the next step is euthanasia, they would at least have a chance to survive in the wild wouldn't they? And they would be free.

Spineless oil toadies like this make me mad, then they make me sad. Why can't we have nation building projects that look to the future, like clean energy innovation? Why are so many politicians so eager to hitch their wagons to a dying industry? Are they all so confident they will be dead […]
