First book review I’ve written in a long time. www.winnipegfreepress.com/arts-and-lif...

It’s infuriating when a woman comes forward about a man raping her in his hotel room after drinking and the response is “Why would she go to his room?” “Why would she drink with him?” This is Mike Pence logic. Women should be allowed to hang out with men without expecting they will be raped.

Canada is the first non-European country to be granted membership in SAFE. This is unlocking new export markets abroad for producers across Canada’s defence industry and better equipping our military with the resources they need.

Still nada.

Thank you Senator Slotkin. "The only reason Canada is on the verge of a trade deal with China is because President Trump has kicked them in the teeth for a year … Canada is our friend — not our enemy." — U.S. Senator Elissa Slotkin

friend of mine is an undocumented immigrant and has been hiding in Melania theaters bc he knows people assume no one is in there

read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000

talked to the owner of a denim company that produces jeans in the US. he said that he's seen declining sales abroad in EU and Canada. stores tell him that customers don't want to buy MiUSA products bc Trump makes dumb, pointless threats like "taking over Canada or Greenland"

ice agents simply aren't trained well enough to be on the street. they are a genuine danger to citizens

Disappointed to see this. 160 union workers are fighting for a fair contract at Individualized Shirts, a US factory that makes high-end men's button-ups. The managers there have rejected the union's request for fair wages and health insurance. The union is asking for support 🧵

Since this post, nearly 300 of you donated about $11k and I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. The union shared photos with me today of food being distributed. Remaining money will be evenly distributed among the 160 union members in the form of gift cards. Thank you. ❤️

Canadian here. Trump wants us, all 40 million of us. We don’t want to be American. He‘s promised to remove 11 million people who want to be American. So leave the Canadians alone, keep the 11 million and have nearly 30 million leftover to play with. There’s a plan.

The most amazing exhibit of shopping bags is at the TD Gallery in the Toronto Reference Library. Very cool. I highly recommend.

So, whatever happened to that idea that the provinces should start trading with one another? Here’s a thought: centre.irpp.org/research-stu...

Seriously? COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — The Aalborg Zoo in Denmark is asking for donations of small pets as food for its predators. It offers assurances the pets will be “gently euthanized” by trained staff. “Nothing goes to waste — and we ensure natural behavior (and) nutrition.”

The verdict in the Hockey Canada Trial - not guilty on all counts - illustrates perfectly how the justice system systematically fails victims of sexual assault. There is no justice in this outcome for EM or for Canadian society.

If you have ever asked a woman why she didn’t report a rape or sexual assault, or why she chose not to press charges, take a look at the Diddy trial, the Hockey Canada trial, Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing … we don’t report because we know how often it goes like that.

Heartbroken to read about the judge's remarks on the victim in the Hockey Canada trial. Regardless of the legal outcome, they are sure to put a chill on other sexual assault victims in the future.

Disappointed but not surprised by the outcome of the hockey Canada trial. Our culture hates survivors of sexual assault SO much. I hope EM is able to find peace

No one on the hockey side of this, including the many many people not on trial, did the right thing at any point. Those who cooperated did so to save their own necks and distract from the fact that they were in the roo and walked away

I am disgusted and appalled at the judge’s decision in this trial. This is not justice. The victim was credible, as any victim of sexual assault, including myself, could clearly see. Shame on the hockey players who assaulted her and on Hockey Canada. www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/j...

What is happening in the Hockey Canada trial today is EXACTLY WHY WOMEN DO NOT REPORT!!!!!! No woman would willingly endure 7 DAYS of testifying just for “fun”. It’s always the victims on trial. F that judge, F those players, F the misogynist system of Canada.

In the end, what is the final message of the Hockey Canada sexual assault trial? It could have been a reckoning, but it was something else. From Katie Strang and me — www.nytimes.com/athletic/642...
