Canadian COVID Forecast: Jan 31 - Feb 13, 2026 SEVERE: AB, MB, NB, PEI, SK VERY HIGH: CAN, North, NS, ON, QC HIGH: BC, NL MODERATE: none About 1 in 122 people in Canada are CURRENTLY infected.

Shootings from 1996 to 2024 : 0.5% are by trans people, 2% by cis women, and 97.5% by cis men Facts matter. I would be willing to bet that the shootings by trans people get more media attention though, which ends up creating more unjustified bias.

My doomer-worry about AI is not that the LLMs become omnipotent and take over the world but that the wealthy and powerful use it as a means to consolidate power and marginalize or lay off skilled workers and also everything about our technological and political and social life gets worse

"Canada has largely been shielded from this specific flavour of anti-trans rhetoric simply because mass shootings on this level rarely happen here. But this incident shows that the toxic sludge of anti-trans discourse has a firm hold in our political and online sphere here too." #cdnpoli

"Track 2 MAiD established euthanasia based on “negative, ableist perceptions of the quality and value of the life of persons with disabilities.” It implied, they said, that suffering is intrinsic to disability rather than that “inequality and discrimination cause and compound ‘suffering.’” #cdnpoli

2/ The closest we came to an awareness of the importance of masking, was in early 2024, when #NDP leader @kate-loves-bikes.bsky.social called for the reinstatement of masking in our hospitals & healthcare settings - www.whitehorsestar.com/News/bring-b...

1/ Unfortunately, no political party in the #Yukon takes #CleanAir in schools seriously. Or even considers it. Same goes for #LongCOVID. Despite the fact that at least 2 #MLA's are rumoured to have had Long COVID. But they know - @yukon.ca @yukonassembly.bsky.social @drbrendanhanley.bsky.social

Two things I’m not sure is widely understood: 1. Many public servants no longer have their own desks and work in transient government co-working spaces 2. Many describe a Kafkaesque existence of going to physical offices only to spend their time on video calls with the people sitting next to them

1,000 reskeets and it's totally made up, that's a photo from Los Angeles, stop sharing this disinfo-spreader

The point of the AI project is to provoke despair in creative people. They haven’t produced profits or anything anyone wants, just a steady stream of articles about how us artistic types can’t do the thing we’re already doing, making art. Jokes on them, we’re even better at despair than they are.

Hello Tim Cook I worked at Tumblr when you gave us 48 hours to get rid of all the consenting, adult boobs. Up all night at your whim, out of the blue. But you're still cool with Twitter and its CSAM and revenge porn and whatever the fuck this is? Why do you even HAVE guidelines?

Yves Engler and Bianca Mugyenyi (married) broke several financial rules in the #NDP leadership race that could have gotten the party in trouble with Revenue Canada. Before people continue to spread misinformation perhaps avail yourself of the facts. They will be lucky not to be charged with fraud.

I’m sorry but what did libertarians think that the anonymous money laundering racism coin that you could only functionally use for illicit activity was doing other than this, exactly

Folks are having fun with this article, but to be serious: eugenicists were (and still are) deeply intersexist. Classical eugenicists viewed intersex people as like animals. One of the legacies of this is the routine sterilization of intersex folks, which continues to this day. #intersex #eugenics

If you would like to donate to a 🇨🇦 LGBTQ 🏳️‍🌈 charity instead for Connor Storrie’s birthday, may I suggest Egale which is fighting the trans bans in Alberta? 🏒 egale.ca/donate/

#CPC wants to push “stand your ground” that would immensely increase domestic violence and cases like “TrayvonMartin.” It doesn’t make people more safe. It pushes gun nuts to use their weapons over a situation that is likely not serious enough to warrant shooting someone. It’s dangerous. 🪶😡🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Eby is correct. Normalizing treason is the real slippery slope which legitimizes separatism & makes it snowball: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... Meeting U.S. officials must be exposed as the treason it is, treating it like a difference of opinion sets worse in things motion. #ABpoli #BCpoli #CDNpoli

For those of you support bringing high speed rail to Canada, Alto will be hosting open houses in Toronto this Wednesday and Thursday at St. Lawrence Market North! Something that's decades overdue with even Morocco and Uzbekistan having high speed rail. #cdnpoli www.altotrain.ca/en/public-co...

Universal healthcare is a socialist policy so if that’s what you are most proud of as part of your Canadian identity, congratulations you have just discovered socialism. Its not scary here. On the contrary, it’s nice & equitable. #Canadasky

i think we often neglect the degree to which nixon’s resignation was a result of him having a mental breakdown over the mounting stress of Watergate and other humiliations he was joking about a gun in his desk. he was talking to Kennedy’s portrait. he was drunk dialing DC personalities at 2:00 AM

If you seriously consider climate change 🌳 and want to express that, please prepare a submission: #Canadasky www.canadianlawyermag.com/practice-are...

Each time I point out that the Republican platform is simple (they want to sexually abuse children, and they want you to pay for it), a few people think I'm exaggerating, and usually some small number of people think I'm being sardonic or something. I mean it quite literally.

Anti-LGBTQ+ legislation currently implemented or passing in Canada

This shit hits like a sledgehammer right now. It's not even remotely an exaggeration.

I’d buy them a beer except I no longer desire a #LiberalMajority as I’m very likely voting #NDP & hopefully for @avilewis.ca because I don’t vote for climate disasters #MarkCarney #cdnpoli #Poilievre

Finally!! A Canadian political leader is calling out those dangerous goofs in Alberta who seek Trump’s help in breaking up Canada! #Cdnpoli 🇨🇦 #BCPoli #AbPoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

While Heated Rivalry reaches unprecedented levels of popularity, Canada 🇨🇦 has a dirty secret, it’s Alberta’s war on 🏳️‍🌈 queer people and women and our Federal government is saying nothing:

Avi suggests UBI for artists in Canada. And we have to be “refunding Canadian arts like our lives depend on it.”

Avi is saying that Québec is the model for what Canadian arts should be— in both funding and appreciation.

"I wasn’t expecting a magic pill or cure out of the sphere of reality. I was hoping for a group of doctors who knew about my illnesses and could come up with ideas. What I got was a lot of medical trauma." - Jennifer Stitt, former Metrodora patient

Metrodora, a Utah-based clinic that sought to cure “neuroimmune disorders” like #LongCOVID and myalgic encephalomyelitis, promised comprehensive treatment — but within two years, it abruptly closed, leaving former patients feeling betrayed. Read more from @brittashoot.com: bit.ly/46iIGOy

Today is the last day you can join the #NDP to vote in the leadership race! I recommend joining to help decide the future if the party You do NOT need to decide which candidate to vote for at this point in time. I'm personally still undecided and there's plenty of time to make a decision. #NDP2016

Just for a friendly reminder, the deadline to join the #NDP in order to be able to vote for their next leader is TOMORROW! My latest blog post offers a quick rundown of the five official candidates and why I'm supporting @avilewis.ca. #cdnpoli #AllOutForAvi www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2026/01/why-...

Feds don't invest in Canadian firms to help them develop, own and sell Canadian intellectual property - instead governments pour billions of dollars into foreign multinationals to set up domestic branches and the money flows out of Canada. #cdnpoli #liberal #conservative #ndp shorturl.at/Cw6um

I just rejoined the #NDP! The deadline to vote in the leadership race is the 28th. Pro-tip: use a SimpleLogin email alias (simplelogin.io) when you sign up, so you can turn off the relentless barrage of emails asking you for donations 🙃

This is something we should do. #CdnPoli

rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know

Drop the names of any Canadian companies you’ve seen working with ICE in the comments. I’m aware of Gardaworld, Roshel, Hootsuite. Would love to gather any and all other names.
