AOC: You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to keep people from getting poisoned, from dangerous chemicals  You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to bring down the cost of housing If they want to say that that's a Democratic priority, they're right,

Good morning moon!🌙

Stop hating on the cherry blossom! They’re the Dr Pepper of chocolate bars.

Facebook….. WTAF.

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

We’ve seen this playbook before. Yet we do nothing.

“That’s a good point”… terrible interview

Good Monday morning. Woody the woodpecker doing its thing oblivious to the collapse of the world as we know it.

Menopause back?! What the fuck?! Not a fan :(

Not posting this to shame anyone, rather as a reminder that mistakes happen. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Hmmm, what’s the real issue here? oh right, it’s the hill too many are willing to let others die on…the right to ‘bear arms”… But, no, let’s blame it on ‘gender’ issues, let’s talk about anything other than the root cause of mass shootings. Legal access to guns.

New West, you are beautiful 🤩

Just Rick rolled myself. The worst part - didn’t realize until halfway through the song. Oh, and I still know all the words!

Tariffs removed doesn’t need to mean consumers have to start buying. As much as possible, we need to keep buying Canadian 🇨🇦

A poem by me (narrator: not a real poem) @What the actual fuck?” my daily reaction to the news. Every single day. Every single alert.

Just had some incredibly yummy okanagan cherries.

@jmcelroy.bsky.social latest bracket is bringing me back to the halcyon days of Twitter and the mid-2010s )possibly 2015) can’t recall the topic but recall the feeling of connection it brought. Anyhow, if you haven’t been voting in the latest ranking - get on it

This is exactly what the summer of 2025 needs! I’m so here for this!

We need to stop this all or nothing way is thinking. These two things can be true at the same time. “Palestinians deserve to be free. And Jews in Canada deserve to feel safe in their own country.” www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/2d9d3af...

Wordle with the word of the year

Who loves supporting local doubly, at the same time?! At Ruby Campbell’s Dine and Donate you get to support a local business AND a local non-profit at the same time. The next one is near and dear to me: all proceeds go to Fraserside Community Services for over 50 years in #newwest

A good day to Shop First Nations shopfirstnations.com

What a great idea! Well done Tourism North Shore. Great step in creating neurodiverse friendly cities. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Honestly, the more I read the news, the more I feel like we’re living through a rely scary dystopian movie. I’d like to leave the cinema please.

@michaelhall.bsky.social thank you for live skeeting council meetings!

Want to help Save the CBC? Here are the things you can do RIGHT NOW to help the cause. We are a grassroots organization and we need individuals to contribute as a community! Together we are stronger, so please take time to do these things and help Save the CBC! Links: buff.ly/g6n31iJ

Education. Justice. Reproductive rights. LGBTQ+ freedoms. Truth. Pierre Poilievre has voted against them all—and now he wants to kill the CBC, one of the last platforms protecting these voices. We’re not going backward. Save the CBC. Save what matters. #SaveTheCBC #CdnPoli #NeverPoilievre

Communication is at the heart of informed engagement. The CBC stands as one of the last bastions of fact checked news and culture in our fragmented media landscape. With Pierre Poilievre threatening to dismantle this invaluable institution in just 100 days, it’s time for action.

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

Today is Trans Day of Visibility 🏳️‍⚧️ I believe—without question—that trans rights are human rights, today is personal. My trans child deserves a world that sees them, values them, and lets them thrive. Every trans person does.

Everything Joe Rogan says is wrong. He’s a fount of misinformation and tomfoolery. Why do so many men listen to him? I’m at a loss.

Mark Carney releases second ad with Mike Myers

ha! what do you think @gyeincognito.bsky.social? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This Sunday, the whole country needs to spring forward from 1939.

On the plus side, if Trump is freaking out over transgenic mice, he may reconsider annexing Canada when he hears about the TRANS Canada highway 😂

Also, consider the cow-op.ca — all the Cowichan Valley producers created a group delivery site, so you can get cheeses, sauces, veggies, meats, cured sausages — everything grown and produced in the Cowichan Valley, and free delivery for $150. Availability changes weekly.

If they know it’s lies, why do they keep reporting it?

As the world crumbles, I give you these 1. ‘Trump Slump’ - albeit an understatement, it is a nice rhymey way of talking about the impacts of the trade war. 2. “fucknard’. A way of referring to the orange bloated pile

Well, for once, he’s partly right. that is, the United States is currently alaughing stock.
