The only thing that will slow any of this down is General Strike. Also if the CBC gets another international political specialist on, who talks about Trump’s desire for peace in The Ukraine, I’m going scream. We have to stop parroting the words of liars!

On the one side of the scale these publications place the money they might have to spend on getting rid of a frivilous lawsuit, and on the other side of the scale they place the respect and trust of their readers, and they always, always find that the former outweighs the latter.

Definitely not the worst part of what is happening down south, but worth mentioning, is that so many people are going to have to live with the abject embarrassment of knowing that every part of their country’s government is a complete sham; a world-wide joke, that will live on for years to come.

I know this will be a minority opinion (Canadian) among minority opinions (autistic people) among minority opinions (people who crave accuracy in depictions of the operation and function of aircraft and their pilots) but an oxygen mask has to cover your face. Okay it's off my chest, carry on.

Well this might be my favorite sign from the massive DC #nokings

I really think if I was Biden or Obama or any ex-president really, I’d move to Canada or France right now.

first time saying it publicly, but i believe a general strike is necessary. we need a real opposition party and leaders willing to organize and call for a federal tax strike. i don’t see any other way out of this. you can’t confront extortionists with procedures and platitudes.

The scariest thing about Halloween? The plastic waste! 🎃 Help protect the health of our planet by going plastic-free this Halloween.

Calmly googling the effects of the collapse of the AMOC on Nova Scotia weather. Taking a moment to realize where we are right now and what is seemingly immanent.

Police officers who publicly declare that they’ll quit if a mayoral candidate they dislike wins the election are (1) usually bluffing—sure buddy, toss away that paycheck and pension—and (2) exactly the sort of cops cities would be better off without, ones who don’t see themselves as public servants.

I am an airplane person who thinks that nearly all commuter flight routes should be replaced with high-speed trains

It's dangerous to say, but since it is true, it's more dangerous to not say: The Supreme Court of the United States is not a legitimate body. It's been deliberately and systematically captured by ideologues on behalf of an anti-Constitutional project, and its extremist members have been bribed.

If Carney had balls his reply to Trump’s 51st state crap would be to reply: “not on your life, but we’ll happily take Washington, Oregon and California off your hands as you seem to be unable to contain your hatred of those three states. Cascadia 2025!”

I personally believe that the steady erosion of regulators by oligarchs to the point where our entire corporate accountability structure is hollow artifice is BAD, but I have a reputation for extremism

We’re not dealing with brilliant strategists cleverly laying traps, we’re dealing with impulsive whiners whose advantage is contempt for laws, norms, and morality. They’re not pulling some elaborate trick, they’re just willing—even eager—to do things regular, principled people consider off limits.

RED ALERT: Ken Sim Plans to Drop HUGE CUTS on Vancouver's Public Services THIS WEDNESDAY That could mean cuts to: ❌ Libraries ❌ Community Grants ❌ Road Safety ❌ Homelessness supports ❌ Arts & Culture ❌ Reconciliation ❌ Climate change programs Write to council now: www.votecope.ca/stopsim

God, even your mayoral races in the States go on for f’n ever. Feel like I’ve been reading about Mamdani for ages now. It’s a mayor’s race for Crist’s sake! How much money do ya’ll have to flush down the toilet of election advertising?

“The reality is that the court is adjusting the law to make place for arbitrary power.” To understand the Supreme Court's role in Trump's authoritarian project, I turned to the idea of a dual state: an authoritarian regime that keeps up a facade of normalcy www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

If I was Trump I’d be way more worried about soy bean farmers being radicalized and using me as their origin story than any left leaning antifa mf

ICYMI on X, Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim is trying to smear COPE councillor Sean Orr for speaking at a rally against genocide. Sim tweeted straight misinformation (disinformation is harder to prove) re: who organized the event (not Samidoun). It was generally inflammatory. He has now blocked me. #vanpoli

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

It’s wild that Trump is so lawless the group of people that clearly see and assess his lawlessness include his own judicial nominees, but not the mainstream media.

The Ig Nobel is incredible , one year an Indian guy won it for calculating the average surface area of an elephant and during his acceptance they had an elephant hold up a sign with the surface area of the scientist on it, they do showbiz better than the Oscars

In Canada? Sign the petition for medical care for Long Covid in kids. Demand the medical profession actually acknowledges the condition exists. They're mostly still busy saying it's psychological, which it's fair to say is one step away from RFK #cdnpoli chng.it/BKHtY2sP

🕊️ The world has lost a revered conservationist -- a colossal power for what is truly good. 🕊️ Jane Goodall is a legend who helped open the door to science to the best humans among us: woman. 🕊️ She was brave, brilliant and introduced us to the best things among us: animals. 🕊️ I grieve her passing.

The takeover begins today. Buckle up fuck-o’s

Standing outside the gates of the Qu'Appelle Indian Residential School. This is a haunted, dark place. A 5-year-old taken through these gates had a lower chance of survival than a Canadian soldier fighting in WW2. The red dress and the orange shirt hang on the gates. We remember. #OrangeShirtDay

I’m planning on releasing a new version of my accounting service where I steal all the money and move to Fiji unless my clients opt out of having their money stolen. Please give me $400b in venture capital.

Please note that, unlike the president, the deputy chief of staff does not have immunity from prosecution for official acts per Trump v. United States

Stephen Miller is a school shooter who took control of a country instead

Hegseth is summoning hundreds of the most senior US generals and admirals so he can give them a lecture on the “warrior ethos” this week.

I thank the mercies of evolution that I cannot in fact barf up my own eyeballs.

dudes rock

"For centuries, scientists and sailors have know that sperm whales hunted the 'giant squid', Architeuthis dux. Whale bodies are scarred with huge sucked marks and gashes from Archituthus. But the battles take place in deep water, far beyond where humans can easily travel…" - Awesome stuff.

So the escalator at the UN not working was the fault of someone on Trumps team running ahead and tripping the off button. The White House was operating the monitor that failed to show Trumps speech. I think Canada should become home to a new UN. The US clearly doesn’t want it.

No doubt because at this point it’s too much of a stretch to imagine that these people wouldn’t already be in cabinet positions

The detachment from reality continues apace

Gen AI has been trained and developed in ways that no university research ethics committee would approve. And yet as academics we supposedly need training in how to use it ‘ethically’…

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... Scandalous if true

You really have to hand it to Republicans. They managed to prove true the most grotesque characterizations their opponents ever came up for them with and then made them seem generous.

The Supreme Court is not a legitimate institution. When a court has corrupted itself, and flaunts its contempt for the law and the judicial system, it ceases to be a court. I don’t know exactly what to do about that, but I do think that as a country, we need to recognize that and act accordingly.

Wild watching an entire country spin out of control in the space of a couple weeks

When you listen to the full clip he’s saying they’re setting up advance teams in the cities. This isn’t immigration it’s getting ready for riot control and the elections.

The first time an Alberta government invoked the notwithstanding clause, public outrage forced a reversal in less than 24 hours. I wish to God Albertans would show the same moral fury now, when school children are outed & bullied by the government that is supposed to protect them. #ableg #abpoli

I think every parent needs to be saying my this, and directing it to the Senate Democrats who didn’t object.
