The thing I’m most afraid of encountering in a public restroom is an empty toilet paper roll when it’s too late to abort the mission.

There are two Indigenous women from (so called) Canada on the Sumud Flotilla. It was just illegally intercepted by the IDF and they are kidnapping humanitarians from the boats.

NDP MP and leadership candidate Heather McPherson @heathermcpherson.bsky.social’s team acknowledged being asked to use alt text on images in social media posts, briefly used it, and is now resisting repeated requests to use it. Alt text is a reasonable request from a marginalized group. #cdnpoli

A neighbour’s cat just shat outside my window again. I love cats, I do not love neighbours who let their cats roam outside. My cats getting outside unsupervised/uncontained is my worst nightmare.

Roses and alt text 😍

Telehealth & remote work were accommodations disabled people spent years fighting for We were told it “wasn’t possible” When Covid hit and accommodations were necessary to protect the non disabled? They were in place overnight Now they’re taking them away from those who need them most Eugenics

#NDP leadership candidates and all MPs should use alt text on images in their social media posts. It’s a simple task: go to settings, then accessibility, and enable Require alt text before posting. MP @heathermcpherson.bsky.social needs to do it or get out of the way for someone who will.

Every day I am going to post this (permission from Del Schilling). Will you join me? Over 5700+ Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women & Girls #MMIWG #cdnpoli

Tim Houston / PC Gov sneaky omnibus bill includes a move to make it illegal to block forest access roads on Crown lands, a heavy-handed attempt to ignore Mi’kmaq rights "...on the eve of Treaty Day and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation" - Michelle Paul #Halifax #NovaScotia #mikmaw

Liberal MP Vince Gasparro, the parliamentary secretary for combating crime, has some explaining/apologizing/resigning to do.

Postal services Health services Mental health services Library services Transit services Public Services <> Businesses and I why TF DO governments not understand that. It's literally their job.

I know for a fact that Antifa is not an organization because I don't get emails from them asking for money.

We’re living though a mass disabling event and MP @heathermcpherson.bsky.social who was asked to use alt text on her social media images, acknowledged the request, and apparently decided it was too much of a bother to include disabled people, thinks that she should be leader of the federal NDP. Ugh.

"Premier Tim Houston says his view on order-making power has changed since forming government." Yup, that's how it always works. It's interesting how being the government changes one's view of government transparency and accountability. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Must read. “government should see Amazon’s low-wage, non-union model as a threat not just to Canada Post, but to Canadian workers across the board, and intervene to rein it in.”

“Nunavut has the highest rate of food insecurity in Canada, with 57 per cent of households lacking secure access to food, according to the Library of Parliament.”

Wow. Sounds like MP Vince Gasparro should resign.

"so what if I have to go pick up my mail" says person fortunate enough to be fully abled enough to do that

I love vaccines, transgender people, and autism

Want to know if we have a problem of growing misogynistic and violent extremism in Canada? We have a massive problem. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Horrific: Doctors Without Borders is suspending medical work in Gaza City due to Israel's violence, including airstrikes & tanks less than 1KM from their facilities. Comes same day Netanyahu used his UN speech to scold dozens of nations for accusing him of committing war crimes.

Someone needs to educate Sean Fraser about how the right appropriates progressive language & ideas to evade or diminish criticism. And, people need a better understanding about how fascism operates because there are MPs in the House who are enemies of democracy.

“These recommendations amount to service cuts, contracting out and major rollbacks to important provisions in our existing collective agreements” - @cupwsttp.bsky.social

Can Canadian public health authorities please take notes.

I am begging Canadians to understand that Canada Post, like public transit, should not be a business - it's a service. Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.

Don't cut the mail. Tax the rich.

CBC did do a story about the “Milburn et al. v. Attorney General of Nova Scotia” court challenge to the Tim Houston government’s changes that ended doctor patient confidentiality here, back in December 2024. I know Nova Scotians who didn’t know about these amendments. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Milburn et al. v. Attorney General of Nova Scotia: In March 2024, amendments to the Personal Health Information Act expanded Department of Health access to Nova Scotian’s health records. November 2024, a Notice of Application was filed challenging these amendments… www.jccf.ca/court_cases/...

Reminder: when Canada Post was on strike, it was not possible for me to send out items for my biz. It was also not possible for me to buy from many Canadian businesses because couriers don’t want to serve the North. This is a step towards privatizing something that should be a service to Canadians.

The Canadian Justice system loses $20 billion year. The Canadian military loses $34 billion a year. Canadian Health Care loses $372 billion a year. Imagine if Carneys liberals talked about services like it does the Post Office.

This is amazing.

Prime Minister Mark Carney took away the Minister of Diversity, Inclusion, and Persons with Disabilities. He is treating Canada Post like a business instead of an essential service. Now he wants to take away door-to-door delivery for all disabled Canadians and close rural post offices.

I’m an agnostic. Let’s do this and find out.

Canada Post “lost” 1 billion dollars last year? How about, “it cost Canadians 1 billion dollars to have a national postal service” which works out to costing about $25 a year per person (population of Canada in 2024 = 40 million). Seems like a pretty reasonable cost to me.

So anyway, turns out plasma in menstrual blood can completely heal wounds in 24 hours. hudson.org.au/news/womb-to...

How is anyone not depressed, and is that something my doctor can prescribe?

There is no good reason for this to be a government priority.

Hello Hali-friends. Seeking some mutual aid for a young, soon to be mom! She’s got most of the major things in place, but seeking some of items listed here. She also has lots of clothing. If you have anything you could donate, please let me know and we can arrange pick up or drop off!

Anyone who would rather have a dead kid than an trans/queer/autistic one is not fit to be a parent.

Stop privatizing and restructuring essential services!!!!

I’m baaaaaaack! In my first column back I gave @mark-carney.bsky.social a performance review for his work over the summer www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/0...

Another doctor from Canada - in #NovaScotia pushing back against the felon's claims Dr. Robyn MacQuarrie, an obstetrician and gynecologist based in Bridgewater, N.S., is pushing back on claims from U.S. President Donald Trump that linked autism with Tylenol. www.ctvnews.ca/atlantic/art...

Health Canada put out an alert regarding acetaminophen in pregnancy… reassuring pregnant people that it’s safe and that untreated fever can harm a developing fetus. Feel free to save the link to send to anyone who’s scared after Trump’s ridiculous autism announcement:
