As masked agents increase their violence south of the border - including killing ICU nurse Alex Pretti yesterday - it's easy to feel powerless. But here’s something we all can do. ICE agents are patrolling in vehicles made in Canada. If you're sick of the horrifying videos, contact your MP. 1/2

This is one the Canadian-made vehicles celebrated by Doug Ford. globalnews.ca/news/1155832...

meanwhile on the Australian and Canadian foreign ministry websites:

This is the moderate position

If I were a PM who had delivered a seminal speech on the global rupture and the need for new relations with the world, I probably wouldn’t send hundreds of layoff notices to my foreign affairs department the next day www.hilltimes.com/story/2026/0...

If I were a PM who believed we were at a global rupture moment, upending decades of international order, and requiring totally new relations with the world, I probably wouldn’t cut my foreign affairs staffing and budget by 15%

Canadians you are not prepared for the temperature he tells you he is experiencing here.

Grok, the gas-powered deepfake-generating "anti-woke" chatbot that used to refer to itself as "MechaHitler," attracted a substantial investment from Canadians' pensions.

Anybody using the phrase "banana republic" to describe a political situation should be first required to write a 4-paragraph essay about the modern history of Central America and how it applies to the situation they are describing.

Come on, reading that, we all thought it.

personally i think we should change the bill of rights so that everyone gets to leave their job with ariana grande and cher hugging them while an audience cheers

public backlash+advocacy and yelling at your elected officials works ✊

This is a parliamentary petition and carries more weight than third-party petitions. Please sign. This is a constitutional loophole Alberta & Saskatchewan are using to impact the rights of trans people. It needs to stop. Sign.

Canadians, sign this petition to stop the use of the Notwithstanding clause against trans Canadians. This is about provinces denying human rights, because trans rights are human rights. SIGN.

You might be thinking, "CPSC, does a dry Christmas tree really burn that much faster than a well-watered tree?" Friend, let's find out together by watching this PSA.

Not a single one of the big pro-Trump "Canadian MAGA" accounts is actually Canadian.

It’s amazing what a country can achieve when its accountability mechanisms function without fear or political interference.

Dear Gringo Friends, We are all happy today and will be very noisy and chaotic (more than usual, at least). Please understand that a gigantic scumbag who besides corrupt killed many people during COVID with his poor government has been jailed. Please forgive us if we overstep, we're probably drunk!

Idk, one of the things that makes us superior to America is that we get two months of Christmas. November 1-December 31 is the holiday season. I don't make the rules - the British North America Act states that we formed partially to ensure we didn't have the anarchy of a November Thanksgiving.

Every day that you do not resemble this person is a day you have succeeded in life.

I wish all CS professors explained things this clearly

Almost everywhere in the City of Toronto has fewer people that it did 50 years ago

For folks who remember the concept of "selling out", I wrote this a few years ago so you can explain it to younger people who are not familiar with what the idea meant within culture. www.anildash.com/2023/04/18/w... It's hard to explain why someone would not license their song for a commercial.

Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

I think I’m smart but my brain misreads “amd64” as “arm64” (and vice versa) 50% of the time

Am I doing this right

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

Absolutely WILD that the development of sofrware proceeded with so little heed to record-keeping that 52 year old source code is a major archaeological trove that requires special tools to gain access to, like it's a treasure room in a sealed royal tomb from 3500 years ago.

Little things become symbols. And symbols are what stick with people. This budget is full of very very dumb symbols.

At the end of the day I'm not sure how much difference it makes. But it is striking to put out a budget that axes a luxury tax on yachts and adds a co-pay for refugee claimants accessing drugs and dental care.

Acting like a conservative Prime Minister is paying off for Mark Carney bsky.app/profile/rach...
