A woman will head to court in March after the City of Burlington fined her for letting her garden grow wild — and other Ontario municipalities have taken similar measures. @elaineanselmi.bsky.social asks: What exactly are we protecting here? thenarwhal.ca/opinion-burl...

Just a quick reminder that the #Democrats doesn't want to defund ICE and ending up giving them record high funding.

Did you know pigs are up there with dolphins and chimpanzees in terms of intelligence!?! Yet, of their 15-20 lifespan, most pigs only live 6 months and in a cramped shed with no entertainment or space to move and play. This is why they have their front teeth removed and tails cut off.

Toronto Sun responds to journalist celebrating ICE murder by promoting him to CEO

I am heartbroken. After nearly 60 years the CPD, PBS, NPR are being shuttered by the Sociopath In Command! PBS has been the 2nd best news broadcaster in the world, & by far the best in USA. Where is the outrage? Where is the protest? Does NO-ONE care? 🇭🇲🦘🤠 🌎🌍🌏🗽

How the actual FUCK do I have even one mutual friend with this unbelievable fucking bitch?

I don’t know why it took me so long to get a vacuum sealer.

So, which one are you in the face of what went down this past week? And remember, this is not just an "isolated incident", or a "few bad apples" - it's by design.

These two paintings were born out of a "photoshoot" in St Andrew's. We ate our lunch on a bench by the sea in the sunshine, and made friends with this guy. I now have so many incredible pictures to work from. No 2 is for sale 👇 earthandsandbyanna.etsy.com/listing/4386... #birds #art #MHHSBD #rook

Elon Musk achieves dream of automating child sex abuse

Agents of your government are now executing people in the street and you seem to think that you can solve this with Gavin Newsom's tiktok memes and wait until midterms. There aren't going to be midterm elections.

Your distress is not my responsibility to bear. You are causing enough distress for me as it is. What your country is doing globally and to its own people is yours to own and undo.

Hi, citizens of the USA. Please stop asking Canadians on social media to come rescue you like it's cute and funny. It is not. Nothing is cute and funny about the USA right now. I say this with care and respect: No one is coming to save you. You need to save yourselves.

Our 50 cats rescued from the house fire will be relocated soon. In the meantime they are eating and getting healthier by the day. Can you help us to fill their bellies a little more? They can EAT! www.chewy.com/g/loudoun-co... www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

At least he’s being truthful, unlike every single other Democrat keeping quiet about their support. Republicans and Democrats are just opposite sides of the exact same corrupt and diseased, capitalist serving, coin. Pretending they’re different is why you are where you are right now.

9 years later, Pumpkin and her daughter Charlotte still cuddle every night. The breeder who used Pumpkin didn’t care that she was being separated from every single baby she had. But we were able to rescue one baby along with Pumpkin - and they are inseparable. #adoptdontshop

That’s right - don’t take the bait. Don’t waste lives for unorganized rage driven riots. Make sure you get fucking organized and cause a REVOLUTION! Doing nothing should not be a fucking option. And waiting for your preferred capitalist serving political party to do something is doing NOTHING!

These are the horrendous conditions that I’m working under this week while our office is renovated. His name is Lash and, yes, he is snoring in this photo.

“Since 1900, every time a Republican president has taken over, economic inequality has increased and the country has become more violent.”

The only conclusion I can make - when I see #Canadians cheer on @mark-carney.bsky.social when he claims he'll protect our sovereignty against USA aggression and then make excuses for his defending of #USA aggression against #Venezuela - is that they have zero clue what #sovereignty even means.

Mark Carney simply cannot go on and on about defending Canada’s sovereignty against USA aggression being his top priority in one sentence, and then turn around and defend USA aggression ripping away Venezuela’s #sovereignty. What part of this do Canadians not understand?

The only thing #Venezuela did wrong, was not follow in the footsteps of #Brazil after González started going on about stolen elections.

Looks like we’re going to have to fight without the support of our Federal Government. Mark Carney’s statement is shameful and puts Canada on the wrong side of history. Solidarity with #Venezuela.

Fixed it.

If you want an example of what “elbows up” looks like in practice, as opposed to just hollow rhetoric from Mark Carney - look no further than the response from Mexico’s President. Solidarity with #Venezuela against imperialist #USA.
