Met Gala 2026: Cardi B Has Fever, Reveals She's Sick "You wanna know a secret?" Cardi told reporters outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art, “I'm actually sick and I have a fever." Of course .. nothing says high fashion like viral transmission … www.eonline.com/news/1431643...

Or, hear me out, let's not do the "nothing to see here" thing yet again and instead take one more opportunity to consider how we mitigate and communicate about outbreaks.

This article by a Toronto city councillor illustrates how municipal grocery stores just make sense macleans.ca/economy/what...

Yesterday, an adversarial City Councillor leaned into my office uninvited to call me a “f#@!ng donkey” I think he meant it as an insult. But donkeys are intelligent, loyal, tough as heck, and regularly deployed to protect livestock from predators. That’s a nice compliment. Thanks! #donkey 🚫ABC

Yup. Your job as regular person is not to parse whether particular policies are 'realistic' or 'possible.' You are supposed to actually demand what you need to live a dignified life.

looking forward to a future where democrats are in power and fix things like this and the kennedy center and do nothing about SCOTUS or the voting rights act or abortion or ICE etc liberals are gonna pretend like they've fixed things by making his name go away very publicly, mark my words

The US President just seized 120 million from our pension fund. Food bank use in Canada is at an all time high. El Nino this year could be devastating. And this is what our "leaders" are arguing about. And what the press thinks deserves coverage.

So… Pretty much every heavy hitter in political science academia has signed a letter calling for a public inquiry into the catastrophic data breach that continues to unfold in Alberta. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/07/o...

Wind and solar have now beaten fossil fuels in Great Britain for a record 15 months in a row Just a decade ago, fossil fuels were generating four times more than wind + solar Now that's flipped: Since the Iran war, wind and solar generated twice as much as fossil fuels

Right-wing influencers and shills are spreading misinformation, pseudoscience, Nazi propaganda and calling for the harassment and assault on marginalized communities, but you want us to be fucking CIVIL? Be for fucking real right now. Fuck all the way off with this shit. Do you GENUINELY think...

I want incivility. I want a politician who will tell the AI shills, the MAGA-adjacent, and the CHUD apologists to fuck off. There's a reason "so much for the tolerant left" is a goddamn cliche right now. People want you to be civil so you don't fight back when you're stomped into the mud.

"Quebec Health Minister Sonia Bélanger confirmed Thursday that a Quebecer was on the same flight as a passenger afflicted with hantavirus. “…it doesn’t seem like they were in close proximity & the risk of transmission is very low”" Ok so a plane is no longer people in close proximity, got it👍🙄

"2 Canadians disembarked the ship on the remote South Atlantic island of St. Helena almost 2 weeks ago & were on the same flight as a 3rd Canadian who was not on the vessel. Anita Anand, the foreign affairs minister, says the 3rd Canadian “may have come into contact with a symptomatic individual”"😒

The plant of peace was olive in the form of a pen made of olive wood

A former CIA director, the billionaire leading Trump’s plan for Gaza and the so-called King of Wall Street are all bidding for the LNG Canada terminal. WATCH: youtube.com/shorts/YzxCZ...

Guys. Heads up. Let’s talk about Hantavirus. There have been SEVERAL bad takes and BLATANT misinformation circulating regarding this outbreak so I figured it was a good idea to make a thread about it. Stay calm. Stay vigilant. Know your facts. Here’s ALL you need to know. 🧪🧵⬇️

"Israel is falling apart" Covers some history, the ethnic makeup of Israel & why people are leaving youtube.com/watch?v=rNz6...

Door-to-door delivery is a critical service countless Canadians depend on. If you’re in Winnipeg, join us for a town hall on how these cuts will affect you.

They cant even provide treatment to those who want it and this evil "compassionate intervention" is going to take the scant resources away from those who actually want it. Nevermind the father knows best bullshit this is pedaling. The Sask Party wants addicts to die. This is how.

Wouldn’t be the first time James Cameron cribbed something for “inspiration.” Harlan Ellison won a settlement over TERMINATOR’s similarites to his two OUTER LIMITS episodes. Now he has an acknowledgment credit on every home release of the film. Full story in 🧵. 1/2

He was charged with assault numerous times while a cop. Fraud at York. Cop culture. "A man charged with second-degree murder in a North York shooting last week, Michaelo Markicevic, is a former Collingwood police officer and York University executive." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Why do privileged people care if regular shmegulars hate the Met Gala?

This 2016 order signed by former Minister of Health Terry Lake, ordering overdose prevention services in any place where needed, remains in effect. Vancouver City Centre has second highest rate of drug deaths behind Vancouver Centre North, which includes DTES.

BREAKING: in April 2026, *every single one* of the 1,570 refugees admitted in the United States were white South Africans. In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 6,066 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November 2025), and nobody else.

Increasing violence, fewer services, and a disturbing message to send to predators. Organizations are speaking out after the City of Vancouver eliminated the Sex Work Social Planner position. “It’s devastating." @livingincmnty-bc.bsky.social vancouversun.com/news/sex-wor...

Picture of the day today comes from our very own Julia Ross who was covering the march for Red Dress Day in downtown Winnipeg.

Grateful to @daviddoel.bsky.social for clearly and thoroughly breaking down Mark Carney’s economic updates and “Sovereign Wealth Fund” and giving airtime to serious opposition to the typical shell game that is privatization 👇🏼

lol that MF got COOKEd®️

🇨🇦 "Over the past few years I have received no shortage of threats from people broadly associated with the separatist / antivax / far right movement in Alberta."

Several media outlets have been obligingly regurgitating a Dying with Dignity narrative and talking point without doing their own research. Finally someone - @spichaksimon.bsky.social - actually watched the MAID Committee hearings before writing. simonspichak.beehiiv.com/p/who-s-shap...

Louise Arbour also conducted a scathing investigation into "misconduct" in the Canadian Armed Forces and is now the Commander in Chief. Oooh, ooooh, oooh, that is mighty delicious, if you ask me!

NEW: On Monday evening members of the Coalition of Progressive Electors voted unanimously to ratify the unity agreement with the @vangreens.bsky.social & @onecityvan.bsky.social to limit candidates in order to defeat Ken Sim & ABC. The election is October 17th. We got this. #EvictKenSim

Palestinian residents in Jaffa have restored and re-hung photos of children and civilians killed in Gaza after they were torn down by Israeli settlers in the city’s Ajami neighbourhood.

Since I'm already seeing plague ship misinfo in press citing the US CDC: #hantavirus is AIRBORNE. Mayo Clinic: "Infection is usually caused by inhaling hantaviruses." CDC says "through contact" but doesn't explain "contact" means inhalation. Citation: www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-con...

So apparently calling something racist is defamation. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... We can't name ethnic fraud, or racism, unless we want to be sued and be dragged through the courts for years. Fucking scary shit.

Omg the grey whale was apparently hit by a jet ski this evening www.facebook.com/share/v/1DZk...

The moral panic over Hasan Piker's involvement with the Democratic Party is really about Palestine's growing influence in U.S. politics. While Israel supporters might want to ban him and Palestine from the discourse, they've already lost the fight. mondoweiss.net/2026/04/the-...

Excellent investigation from CBC into the fake social media accounts from overseas who are boosting Alberta separatism online. Short video, everyone in Canada should see. youtu.be/NXafC7tlqt0?...

Tickets this year cost $100,000.

Ben Shapiro is coming to Canada (soon!) as part of a conference “against antizionism.” The depth of human cruelty required to put on this kind of conference is pretty incredible. Particularly when you contrast it against the eyewitness accounts of those living through Israel's genocide in Gaza:

As of today, Stage 2 water restrictions are in effect, which means all residential and non-residential lawn watering is banned. With warm and dry weather in the long-range forecast, we need to use water where it is needed most — drinking, cooking, and cleaning. https://ow.ly/jXw550YT2Kh

It’s insane that a large majority of people believe that Trump is mentally unfit for office and the media literally talks about it never

Yet another important report for you all. CEPR finds that as U.S. sanctions tightened on Cuba, the country’s infant mortality rate rose 148%. Cuba historically had one of the lowest infant mortality rates in the Western Hemisphere. The U.S. is a child killing regime. cepr.net/publications...
