Took my mother in law (who was born in PEI) to see him at Massey Hall. The place was over half filled with what could be called "the college crowd" It was amazing, bought the t shirt which had that iconic photo of him with his guitar slung over his shoulder

Stompin' Tom Connors was a Canadian legend. He wrote over 300 songs and released four dozen albums that focused on Canada's history, culture and places. He was Canadian to the core. This is his story. 🧵 1/12

What a dumb fuck worm eaten p.o.s.

I can wait 30 seconds for a pot to boil and it seems like an eternity, I look at a photo of my now adult children when they were young, and a lifetime has gone by in a flash. I know it is clichéd, but enjoy those you love now, because tomorrow may be too late

I friggin'hope Roots stuff is made in Canada, just ordered a Canadian flag hat so I have a place to pin my Under One Roof pin which I was gifted at Xmas, beautiful piece of Canadiana, crafted from the roof of the Parliament buildings 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Honoured to be included 🙏 ☺️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

SO TRUE! IT IS UP TO US TO TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK FROM THE FASCIST RETHUGLIKKKANS!!!

Shaming the liberal establishment with his humanity.

If we're going to post or repost anything about the Obamas today, let's please make it this: ❤️

"N.B. government will no longer use X after child and youth advocate raises concerns." Other Provinces, including our elected representatives (including Prime Minister Carney), need to follow New Brunswick's lead and stop using X. And, ultimately, ban X in Canada. www.ctvnews.ca

Of course:

"And I know there is a place, beautiful and alive like a meadow of flowers. There is a place beyond dungeons and far away from violence, where you and I are allowed to be humans living among humans."

What a finish at the Scotties final. Both rinks did themselves proud, but *cliche alert* there can be only one winner.

The Boss speaks.

Good morning

“It’s time to stand up for Canada … remaining silent is a form of appeasement and history has shown us the folly of that approach!” 🇨🇦 My op Ed in this weekend’s @thespec1846.bsky.social #BuyCanadian #BoycottUSA #ForeverCanadian #cndpol

Vic Rauter is the Dan Shulman of Curling play by play: Dan Shulman is the Vic Rauter of baseball/ basketball play by play

Scott Bessent can go fuck himself. Carney was 100% correct in everything he said. The US administration just wants us to roll over and we’re not going to do that. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

PM Mark Carney got it right. He will lead Canada and our allies less one into the future following the Carney Doctrine. BUT all Canadians must do our part. Don't let up. Buy Canadian. Don't travel to USA. Why is travel to USA only down like 23%? It should be down by 90%.

The thing about Doug Ford, he’s only against the trump’s tariffs that hit Ontario. He has said he’s a trump supporter otherwise & continually shows that.

"'...[A]nybody who wants to separate — the premier included — they can gladly go live in any other country that they wish around the world, but they will not be taking any treaty or inherent lands away with them,' said Assembly of First Nations National Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak."

The Conservative Party is BROKEN!!!

Get your security clearance yet, Skippy ?

Navarro says it plainly like few others can.

If there was a goddamn ACTUAL Canadian car I’d buy one. Project Arrow should be fast tracked.

What’s being framed as “DEI” is what Canada has long called human rights and employment equity. Rebranding it with a U.S. culture-war acronym makes the familiar sound suspect. That’s what Conservatives are choosing to debate, not a new policy, but existing rights. #NeverVoteConservative

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

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

You left out Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed, Glen Campbell and Willie Nelson

Why is Poilievre still refusing a basic national security clearance? CSIS has warned about foreign interference tied to his leadership bid, yet he stays silent, then cheers Trump kidnapping Venezuela’s president. What’s he hiding? Who holds leaders accountable if CBC is gone? #SaveTheCBC

I love their line about how the separatist petition will “invite foreign interference”. Because it will *absolutely* do so. And the Maple MAGA idiots will gleefully accept it.

🎯🎯

It would be nice if Canadian journalists started asking our politicians why they continue to use X despite all of the CSAM and fascism, but a lot of Canadian journalists still use it, too.

It is time for every citizen of good faith and good conscience to get off X. I am not sure how you can justify contributions to a website that publishes sexualized images of children. I think it’s time to start naming and shaming those who donate their time to give free content to Elon’s X.

Many don't realize that the most vulnerable or immune compromised depend on the rest getting vaccinated properly to keep diseases from spreading out of control. It's not just “my body, my choice” when it comes to saving lives.

Enormous amount of evidence that UBI programs work. The opposition they face is overwhelmingly ideological, not practical. Ask your reps why they won't follow hard empirical evidence.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.
