Wow the Aurora is so active tonight.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre attacked the government for how long the negotiations are taking, pointing out Carney promised to quickly resolve the trade war yet there is “still no victory.” Yes Pierreasite & Canadians have been patiently waiting 20 years for you to do ANYTHING you promised.

Sorry folks, I don't care if your Canadian or not. If you post and I can't reply, go f your self. Please also stay out of my posts.

This was the extent of the information I was able to get out of CRA on this issue a few years ago after a lengthy delay This needs to be addressed by parliament because as it stands, the federal government is effectively giving convicted criminals tax breaks to fund their legal battles:

I've asked Canada Revenue Agency about this issue before, they won't comment on the activities of individual charities due to the "confidentiality provisions of the Income Tax Act" They note the public can report charities suspected of non-compliant activities here: www.canada.ca/en/revenue-a...

A great book with so much research. I highly recommend.

While #DementiaDon remains propped up like a rotting corpse by his fascist regime, the absolute decapitation of experts in #NatSec, cybersecurity, counterintelligence, counter terrorism, etc, from the US federal government, continues at breakneck speed. Another unjustified firing: #MichaelBen’Ary.

Anyone who doesn't like dogs is a pos. In my humble opinion 😆

One of these pictures is not like the other. Even a five year old would get this.

When I look at just how far the nation of my neighbours, my family, and my friends has fallen, I mostly feel a deep sadness. Let us keep trying to be a light, even if it's just a candle, so our world doesn't descend into darkness.

Fascism.

UCP government holding a public meeting in Alberta. Not one Canadian flag in sight.

Tinted, double-hinged spectacles, c.1790. Many opticians believed green or blue glass was easier on the eyes and would reduce glare; while clear glass was too soft and would distort images. This extraordinary example is from the Wellcome Collection in London.

My latest Legion Magazine article is an interview with historian Debbie Jiang, who played a pivotal role in getting two Japanese-Canadian soldiers, Pte. Hikotaro Koyanagi and Pte. Kazuo Harada, added to the Richmond, B.C., Cenotaph. legionmagazine.com/forgotten-ja... 📸 Courtesy of Debbie Jiang

"The responsibility to show we have actually changed, and to repair the catastrophic damage the Residential Schools have wrought isn’t with the people of the past. It is here and now and with us" - @rjjago.bsky.social

Maybe it's time for FIFA to declare the USA as a dangerous country and pull out from there.

According to BNO news, 2 planes collided while taxiing in New York, one wing is off one of the planes.

For context, the BC Conservative staffer fired for spreading residential school denialism on Orange Shirt Day has a long and clear history of promoting anti-Indigenous, denialist content. It's no accident; they are following the far-right playbook: provoke, platform, profit🧵

Who wants to bet that Trump Nazis like #StephenMiller, #JDVance, #ElonMusk and a whole host of others, are showing Trump AI videos of “war zones in #Oregon”, and Trump thinks they’re real. He can’t tell fact from fiction, fantasy from reality. He is a deeply sick dementia-addled malignant narcissist

This is a horrible picture because the ship is rolling around too much in the waves. But look at this. They are circling around the axis of rotation of the earth.

Why? I don't want my taxpayers dollars going to USA, let alone for anything they could jam up when they invade. Embarrassed to say I voted for @mark-carney.bsky.social I won't make the same mistake again.

On opposition for her pipeline project… Smith said today is she had her way she would redraw the borders and then went into a treatise on how failure of Canada to give her what she wants is indicative of Canada being a failed state. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

So appreciate these wildlife cam shots. No AI, not from a zoo enclosure.

Time to come home #Canada. Time to come home

The coward apologized on X! The social media platform for boomers and bots! Face to face was the disrespect! Face to face should be the apology! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, The Big Bopper and Patsy Cline. All killed in plane crashes late 50's and early 60.

Drawing on her own traditional Indigenous knowledge, Olivia Poole invented the Jolly Jumper for her children in 1910. Encouraged by her family, Poole became one of the first Indigenous women in Canada to patent an invention.

Today we are sharing Ariane Gauthier's piece on the "The Kapuskasing Internment Camp." This post was originally published on the @library-archives.bsky.social blog. niche-canada.org/2025/10/01/t... #cdnhist #envhist #labourhistory #warhistory

A new survey says that little more than half of Conservatives in Canada approve of how the Trump Administration is operating in the US. Let’s talk about it. youtu.be/6fj04Dd7jXE?...

The hematologist Oswald H. Robertson pioneered the idea of "blood banks" in WWI by packing glass jars of citrated blood from universal donors in an ice-filled chest that he had constructed from ammunition cases. He convinced countless others to donate blood during the war.

Chanie Wenjack's death sparked the first inquest into the treatment of Indigenous children in residential schools. While you reflect on this National Truth and Reconciliation Day, take a moment to learn his story.

Very abusive in front of everyone. #cdnpoli

The chances that this 'police force' will be a mess of frauds and undesirables is through the roof 😹 #cdnpoli

The plan is now to do all the bad things they angrily imagined the CIA doing over the past decade.

Since it’s Truth And Reconciliation Day tomorrow it’s important to raise the voices of Indigenous folks on here.

Good job, Calgary!! YYC! 💪🏼 🇨🇦

After 45 years of home ownership in in Northern Ontario, I'm shocked to say that it's to hot to cut my lawn today.😢

He has the best advisors giving him the truth, but he lies anyway, because House of Commons can't control their fucking members. Absolutely vicious lying from the CPC Leader. When will HoC force MPs to be truthful? Seems like never! #cdnpoli #ottawa #ableg #calgary #toronto

We are in Refuge Harbour, Baffin Island, Nunavut. This will be the furthest north I’ve travelled. Around 71°N

My developmentally disabled sister was admitted to hospital in a @vchhealthcare.bsky.social hospital 3 days ago with pneumonia. Didn't have Covid. Now suddenly she does, in an unmasked hospital amidst a massive Covid wave that VCH is telling no one about. MURDEROUS #bcpoli @josieosborne.bsky.social
