The Winter Olympics – ironically sponsored by Petro Canada – are running out of winter www.nationalobserver.com/2026/01/27/n...

Young is asking if districts THAT RUN A SURPLUS pay an area rate for infrastructure because his district THAT RUNS A DEFECIT needs area rates.

I wish there was even a quarter as much political and public scrutiny over costs from maintaining and resurfacing ludicrously wide roads, often twice the width or more required. I mean do these sticks and concrete look prohibitively expensive? www.saltwire.com/nova-scotia/...

I’ve always worried the NYT might have its head up its own ass but this is ridiculous

Back in my day you just tied an onion to your antenna to show you were from the countryside. In those days loonies were paper and you'd say give me 4 moose for this goose. The goose being a nickname for the queen who was on the bill and was a real looker at the time

This is so good — credit to Henrysircomedian #Canada😆😏 Henry calls out the maga cult and their hypocrisy. This is 🔥 🔥

It's that old saw: If one side says it's raining, and another side says it's not, a journalist's job is not to quote them both. IT'S TO OPEN THE DAMN WINDOW AND REPORT WHAT THEY SEE.

Television is 100 years old today! 🎉

Calgary hosted fewer cyclist and pedestrian crashes than HRM despite a far larger population of 1.6 million (chart is from our road safety annual report 2025)

for those of you who have never had the grave misfortune of being served by Nova Scotia Power, this is a map of current power outages, and the whole province is going to look like a cosmic brownie by the end of the night

I’ve been using Apple products since the Mac Classic and you’d think they would get better at progress bar ETAs, but nope. This has been on my screen for 25 minutes

Drop the names of any Canadian companies you’ve seen working with ICE in the comments. I’m aware of Gardaworld, Roshel, Hootsuite. Would love to gather any and all other names.

People are definitely setting up a barricade of trash cans and this couch, in the middle of the street where ICE is. "That's my couch," said a woman standing nearby. "It's been on my porch for four years because it won't fit up the stairs. My neighbor will be pleased it's gone now."

Remove everything you have invested in the USA and don’t buy or subscribe to ”American” goods and services unless you absolutely have to.

At least if we make a deal with China we know we have a deal

"Slavery was real" Tiny sign at the base of a brick wall that, until yesterday, held panels about the people enslaved by George Washington. Presidents House, Philadelphia.

Short of getting caught orchestrating a coup or assassination, this is absolutely the core case of what you expel an ambassador for.

Honestly, this is going to sound like a bit but Democrats should explicitly state that no Canadian territory will become American territory or a state in the union.

-laughs nervously in Ukrainian- So er, I don't want to be alarmist my Canadian friends but it's not a GREAT sign when the superpower next door starts talking about how the people of a resource rich region of yours yearn for the freedom to join them and suggesting referendums...

we should expel the ambassador for this, not even joking

Americans: “We love you Canada, we miss you, please come back” Also Americans:

Can I just suggest that if you don’t have the ability to keep your vehicle inside the lines of a city street lane, maybe buy one that isn’t so honkin’ huge

A world leader sharing a map of their former closest ally covered in an American flag - I know it’s been two days, but this is still insane and we wont be forgetting this. bsky.app/profile/atru...

And now something positive: solar and wind energy production in the EU surpasses fossil energy for the first time. ☀️ 💨 #TippingPoint Source: dr.dk

Never! I have zero interest. RT if you’ve never had a tab of ChatGPT open.

Why the hell does everything have to happen at once?

Do you people have some kind of fetish for getting yelled at? Yeah Europe is bad in exactly the ways you are describing and more and they are all still better than you.

Let’s crack a history book. Canada lives *in spite of* the United States.

Let’s be clear — if Trump doesn’t end up invading Greenland, or doesn’t end up doing any other of his seemingly unlimited batshit insane, illegal and corrupt crimes, it WON’T be “evidence that we were overreacting.” It will ONLY be BECAUSE WE DIDN’T UNDER-REACT.

Ditto from Canada.

Love how he’s using big words so that a certain person will tune out or doze off before they find out what he’s going to say

As the Red Hot Chili Peppers so aptly put it, “with the Burgess Shale it’s lonely viewin”

@musicologyduck.bsky.social We expect great things from you, duck who has probably read Adorno

Damn bike lanes (there's actually 7 collisions now)

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

If we build just one of the three power lines proposed in NS’s Wind West project, Atl. Can.’s GDP could rise by $8B, and power rates could drop up to 14%. Yet the province is fast-tracking new natural gas plants. theenergymix.com/nova-scotia-fast-tracks-natural-gas-dismaying-environmental-groups/

It could be $3.20, I still ain't going.

honestly fed up with them being like "i didn't vote for this!" mate, this didn't happen overnight. the ground work for this was laid over decades and you did absolutely nothing to stop it. take some fucking responsibiltiy for your society.

I say good I say let him continue to hold these fucking tantrums and impose 100% tariffs on 100% of everything that wants to go into the United States and let’s fucking isolate them as if they’re the new North Korea, cause fuck this fucking parasite at this point

As a Canadian, my advice: do it anyways.
