Spend your Friday watching Catherine O'Hara being hilarious on SCTV. youtu.be/liOtOSR_Pp0?...

Was just watching Catherine O'Hara last night in "The Studio" and thought, "She is always so fun." What a sad loss.

Catherine O’Hara has died. Canada has lost an absolute legend.

Thank you, Catherine O’Hara, for showing us a way.

No Benzie, Doug Ford is not a centrist. He abhors the left. Ford is a populist who dangles trinkets for votes #onpoli

If wetlands disappear, so do many jobs and other forms of livelihood. A central challenge is therefore to shift mindsets so that governments and communities recognize, value and prioritize wetlands. www.worldwetlandsday.org #WorldWetlandsDay #WWD2026

The inclusion of Kyle Rittenhouse in this @deadder.bsky.social cartoon really brings home the deep hypocrisy

Taking a break for the exciting snow shovel coverage to check in with the dog. How does she feel about all this snow? She's a big fan obviously. Can't get enough of the stuff. #winterTO #snowTO #dogsofbluesky #snowmageddon2026

He wasn't going to a protest. There was no planned protest. It was people in a neighborhood witnessing & recording public actions by secret police. Gun-at-protest is a lie & distraction.

Is America ready to give up something to get something? You had your Christmas are you able to give up your spring break and your summer vacations? Are you able to say no to the corporations and stop spending on anything but your absolute necessities. Are you ready to get in some good trouble?

This is great news and a reminder that the time to plan for next winter is NOW www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

“Poilievre’s inability to adapt his worldview to rapidly changing events is a recurring theme.”

Accurate

The solution is right above us. Solar panels on existing buildings, car parks, and along highways generate clean power without sacrificing farmland or wild spaces. Let's use our built world first. #Renewables #Innovation

True progress isn't dominating nature—it's coexisting. Indigenous knowledge often teaches this: live in harmony, not superiority. Let's ditch arrogance for reverence. Our survival depends on it. 🌿 What’s one way you respect nature? #NatureHumility

Deforestation is a silent crisis accelerating climate change. Globally, we lose 10.9 million hectares of forest annually (2015-2025),contributing to 11% of greenhouse gas emissions. Forests are our best natural tech against environmental degradation,let's protect them.

The Staggering Scale "Since 1990, the world has lost 1.3 million square kilometers of forest to deforestation, much driven by commercial agriculture. This isn't just about trees; it's the destruction of our best technology against climate change. #ClimateAction #Biodiversity

It's annoying that we already had so many existing problems to solve before these assholes created a bunch of new ones for no reason

“It was a simpler time then, back when all people wanted to talk about was the leader of the country molesting underage girls,” said Denver resident Scott Munoz

Bandcamp pays artists about 80% of sales. And prohibits AI music. If you believe music is important, stop using Spotify.

Liberal MP Julie Dzerowicz says she’s leaving X, after non consensual, sexualized deepfakes appeared on the social media site “Creating sexualized images of real people without their consent is a form of violence. When platforms enable this at scale, silence is complicity.”

Several Canadian news orgs have already left X, but I believe @pressprogress.ca may be the first to adopt a policy setting standards around use of digital platforms We think it's time news orgs stop prioritizing clicks and start requiring higher standards from these platforms

I’m so happy to see the younger generation see how serious this is and want to have a voice‼️

Don't bother arguing about whether ICE is a police force or a military force. It's neither. It behaves as a disorganized, violent mob, cursing, shouting contradictory orders, and attacking unarmed citizens on a whim. It is deployed to create fear and chaos, not to enforce laws or establish order.

This bobtail squid burrowing into the sand is already adorable, but please watch till the very end! It sticks out its little arms and earnestly sprinkles sand over itself 🦑𓂃◌𓈒𓐍

Can confirm. They’ve swarmed all of the grocery and big box stores, the hospitals, the banks, they are ramming cars at stop lights and going door to door with battering rams. Many of our restaurants are closed. No one is out walking their dogs, even in our upscale neighborhoods. Everyone is on edge.

So the guy who wanted peaceful protesters in DC to be shot is threatening Iran for shooting protesters there. Have I got that right?

A haunted house but it’s just your regular house in the US right now

The CBC has just posted a transcript of my recent As it Happens interview about X and Grok. I’m posting a couple of screen shots here - since they are a bit too long for alt text, I’ll post the link to the full transcript below. #cdnpoli #X #Grok #yeg #CSAM

This is a very kind wish. But I'd also like to ask you to follow other Canadian senators who are already here, and who haven't been as lucky as I have in connecting with an audience. I convinced a fair few Senate friends to give this platform a try, but many didn't feel it worked for them. #cdnpoli
