Danielle Smith is calling Skate Canada’s decision “disgraceful”? Look in the mirror woman!

Perhaps this explains Canada’s abiding love of all things Hawaiian, including pizza!

Local woman wakes up, replaces some Canadian members of parliament and American congress people with dragons and unicorns, makes oatmeal.

It’s almost like regulation can be used to make people’s lives better…wild.

Preliminary estimates show Canada's population declined over the entire calendar year, falling by 102,436 or 0.2% in 2025. That would be the first annual decline on record. @nojoudalmallees.bsky.social

Love the dish or hate it, Hawaiian Pizza is a uniquely Canadian invention. It was created by a Greek-Canadian, who was inspired by Chinese dishes, leading to an Italian dish with a Polynesian name. This is the story. 🧵1/10

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

I was a commissioner with the Calgary Police Commission for 4 years, starting in 2020. I sat in hundreds of hours of meetings. In these oversight and governance meetings, I asked questions to police officers. They would often lie in their responses to me, as a regular practice. 1/

“A new study has calculated that increasing trees and other vegetation in urban areas by 30% could have prevented more than 1/3rd of all global heat-related deaths between 2000 to 2019. In total, 1.16 million lives may have been saved with more greenery during this 20-year period.” Via @euronews.com

It's already ILLEGAL for non-citizens to vote. This voter suppression bill—the "Save America Act"—solves a non-existent problem while disenfranchising millions of actual citizens. It's a lie from start to finish. #SaveActIsPayToVote social.demcast.com/s/W6PgCiWC

A lot of shaking the red and black ants in a jar energy here today, so before I check out, just gonna drop a reminder that billionaires, grifters, bigots, pedophiles and war-mongering asshats (so often all the same people...🤔) are the real enemies. Direct your rage accordingly.

Trump and his loyal Republicans are terrified of facing consequences at the ballot box for the way their policies have hurt women. So they’re pushing the SAVE America Act to choke our registration, demand papers many don’t have, and purge us from the rolls. Call 202-224-3121. #SaveActIsPayToVote

Man oh man this is beautiful.

To the average Canadian, the moral lines of the war in Ukraine remain clear. But behind the closed parliament doors, a different picture is emerging.

The SAVE Act is patriarchy in policy form. It targets women who changed their names, then dares them to produce perfectly matching passports and birth certificates or lose their vote. Screw that. Call your senators. Keep SAVE dead and vote no on any version. #SaveActIsPayToVote #sheshed

These are the things that have historically led to revolutions. Not sustainable.

Danielle Smith banned renewables. It chased billions of investment out of the province and cost thousands of jobs. And we’re still paying for it. Danielle Smith is causing an Alberta disadvantage. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Shut up & sing. Shut up & dribble. Shut up & make movies. Shut up & plan cities. Fuck that. If we don’t ALL speak up, when things are this bad and getting worse by the minute, and everything important is the line, then we’re complicit. The bigger your platform, the bigger your responsibility.

Yeah my wife hasn't been able to drive for 10 years because of vertigo but she can walk with a cane. Car free zones are awesome for her because traffic perpendicular to her view is hard to process. She can also bike so protected bike lanes to get to car free zones are a game changer for her.

I was woken by the *Christian* call to prayer in England many times, but although I lived within earshot of the country’s most notorious mosque I never heard a whisper of a muezzin.

Ethical AI, nuanced war, mild covid and other 2026 oxymorons.

PM of Denmark Frederiksen to PM Carney: "The speech you gave in Davos, I have never experienced anything like this. I mean, people in Denmark have been talking about, they have been reading your speech. And I don't think I have ever heard so many reflections on a speech from a colleague."

🚨DAMN‼️Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew doesn’t mince words about Trump and the conflict in Iran. Saying the quiet part out loud, this war is a distraction from the Epstein Files and Trump is “public enemy number one” when it comes to the economy. Bravo Mr Kinew, more of this please‼️

Welcome to Sucker Punch Spring

Watching reactions to warnings about the SAVE Act. I see many well-informed, educated, involved folks who don't get what's so bad. A thread, just on the providing documents part: This requires documentary proof of citizenship, not just residence or identity. No affidavits; hard document proof. (1/8)

This is super important for US citizens to know and understand. This bill has the potential to disenfranchise tens of millions of legitimate voters.

This may have been a lot of work, but it was worth it. It was an insightful read. Thank you @markhamhislop.bsky.social!

To be clear: the SAVE Act does not simply require the identification voting ALREADY requires. It demands proof of CITIZENSHIP— a birth certificate with a name that matches yours now (bye, bye, married women), or a passport— both of which are expensive and take a long time to obtain.

In pre-colonial Canada, the First Nations established many prominent settlements. Two of the most famous were Hochelaga and Stadacona, located on the sites of Montreal and Quebec City. These two villages were home to nearly 4,000 people. This is their story. 🧵 1/9

There is a unique dialect of the Irish language that evolved in Newfoundland and became forever linked with the island. It is called Newfoundland Irish and many work to keep the language alive. This is the story. 🧵 1/7

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.
