Today I learned that Maggie Rogers is not Canadian 😭😭💔💔

Meeting in person is nice but damn trying to get 5 adults to agree on a time and a place??? Roughhhh.

What the NDP needs to do: 1. Apology and acknowledgement of wrongdoing to Sarah Jama and Jessica Wetz 2. Firm re-commitment to socialism and standing up for labour rights 3. Make implementing electoral reform a condition of ANY supply & confidence agreement with the Liberals

Happy Indie Bookstore Day, please tell your local indoor bookstores that you love them, preferably by purchasing a book

We have now arrived at the "arresting judges" level of fascism.

Amazon holding a book sale on Indie Bookstore Day is so nefarious 😤😤

“I like to say, in an election full of clowns, you might as well give your vote to a funny one,” he says with a laugh. Love to see some Rhino representation in the Avalon! #nlpoli www.saltwire.com/newfoundland...

"I'm experiencing road violence pretty much every journey I take and I think this is a really important event because when we're looking at road safety, pedestrians are often the ones who are going to come off the worst" - @sflkirk.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Zoe Rowe makes a case for Supervised Consumption Sites in Newfoundland and Labrador. Harm reduction for people who use drugs has saved lives elsewhere; why aren’t we moving in the same direction? Read more 👇 theindependent.ca/commentary/a...

Interesting to read the What we Heard about the St. John's pedestrian mall, particularly the concerns about panhandling and crime. #YYT is among the safest cities you'll visit--unless you go drinking on George St. The default to cops + surveillance is disturbing. www.engagestjohns.ca/downtown-ped...

I'm so used to bar bathrooms with cutesy signs that I had to stop here and ask myself if I was a Mario or a Wario

Ok Rhinoceros Party I see you #cdnpoli

RIP Geoff Sterling. You would've loved TikTok

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

Seems like all of a sudden I'm seeing women in town posting about getting Botox?? I guess there's a new clinic? Everyone says it hurts :(

I wonder how long it will take me to memorize the 10 shop closing days. It's Year 5 now and I still can't remember if we need to close Easter Sunday *and* Monday 😅

So the Canadian Taxpayers Federations is complaining there weren enough tax cuts... But they also want a balanced budget?? Um what services are you cutting then Devin? vocm.com/2025/04/10/t...

Feels pretty cool to have THREE leftie parties running in Cape Spear!! We've got orange, green, and... what color would the " Animal Protection Party of Canada" be?? www.saltwire.com/newfoundland...

The way the @ndp.ca and #cdnmedia are dragging Jessica Wetz after they dropped her from the campaign is disgusting. Here is what happened: #cdnpoli

"The Conservative Leader’s crackdown on harm reduction" is a really bleak line 😬 www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

Wow Canada is really pulling up its sleeves with this one 😂

This week, my friend @deanspade.bsky.social and I talk about how to live and love according to our values, in spite of our traumas, and discuss the lessons of Dean's new book Love in a Fucked-Up World: How to Build Relationships, Hook Up, and Raise Hell Together. (So many people need this one! ❤️)

Today I heard a nurse on CBC say if a customer assaulted a retail worker, they would go to jail, but if a senior assaults a nurse there's no repercussions. I agree workplaces should be safe but damn.. is imprisoning old, sick people the best solution we can offer? #nlpoli

So the Auditor General found that seniors are going missing in personal care homes??? Shouldn't there be like legal action for that???? #nlpoli

TFW you're the only person who joined online #WonderfulWizardOfOz

NL's minimum wage rises by 40¢ to $16/hr on April 1, aligning with PEI and staying ahead of NS & NB. Adjusted per the federal CPI. #nfld

Anyone know who is organizing this? 👀 #nlpoli

Today is International Transgender Day of Visibility, a day we need now more than ever. Remember to keep punching nazis and yeeting terfs into the sun. My spaces are safe spaces and you are loved here. Trans rights are human rights.

Not me ignoring the burning smell in our bedroom and my bf finds my phone charger is melting 🙈🙈

Good.

Great to see another leftie running in the federal election!!! I know some folx think we should all rally behind the NDP and not split the vote... But options are good! We need strong leftist policies and the NDP aren't delivering #nlpoli #cdnpoli

The most difficult task for drivers -patience, and respect for human safety

Tariffs are very disruptive in the short term, but in the long run, they help protect our higher environmental and labour standards.. free trade is a neoliberal economy policy that forces us to put downward pressure on our regulations to compete with the US and Mexico

Idk how many stamps to put on oversized items so I usually just load up and hope for the best

This is a graph of how much Harper Collins sells to Indigo / Amazon vs indie book stores 😅

Don't trust the electronic tags. This was the 3rd USA product with a maple leaf on the electronic tag. And I found Canadian products (Kicking Horse Coffee) not marked next to Maple Leaf marked American brands 🙃 #maplewashing

biking/walking everywhere is so goated. i love when people ask me if it took me a long time to park. i have literally no idea what you're talking about! i was mentally cataloguing every bird i saw in the tree tops on my way here!
