A realistic increase in ODSP would do more to alleviate homelessness than any other initiative. Not to mention help with the cost of health care, social services, mental health, child poverty, justice system etc. Why don’t our politicians scream this from the rooftops? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Brian’s thread here seems solid. But I wonder if Sorry Baby or Rental Family sneak in somewhere with surprise nominations.

Carney is by extension of our democracy a temporary representative that has been duly elected. He did a good job in his speech. I have not seen it fully in his actions. I will wait to see it. That's it. Idolization of democratic leaders is antithetical to the system of government that we have.

Talk is cheap.

It seems that some version of this story is written every winter. Eventually we’ll figure this out, right? #ldnont lfpress.com/news/local-n...

Donald Trump’s so-called "Board of Peace" is offensive. Mark Carney must reverse his decision to join Trump in this transparently colonial scheme. 1/4

My Twitter/X account is no longer active. The campaign and I made the decision that we cannot stand behind a company-owned and manipulated by a fascist oligarch, containing a dangerously unregulated AI platform, and not reflecting the values of our green-progressive campaign or its supporters.

Instead of adding Canadian legitimacy to Trump's actions, the Prime Minister must condemn them and uphold Canada’s commitment to self-determination and Palestinian statehood by insisting that Palestinians alone determine the future of Palestine. 4/4

Hey real quick why are "tough decisions" never something affecting the wealthy? Why is it always services our taxes pay for getting cut? Why are these "tough decisions" always, always the same things despite a proven history that austerity measures don't work?

OLD MAN SHOUTS AT CLOUD and also I’m totally right that #LdnOnt media needs a resurgence. How do you ask for RTs on this vanilla website? 🤪 open.substack.com/pub/mikedona...

Europe. Is moving military assets. To deter an invasion. By the United States of America.

The fact this is even happening is completely fucking insane

Can’t believe he said this, seems somewhat disrespectful

A few things: 1. Read the room. 2. Crime is at historic lows in Canada. 3. Police do not prevent crime. 4. Funding for education, mental health, drug treatment, housing, youth programs, and other social programs reduces crime. 5. Canadians did not vote for this. #cdnpoli

Y'know what you didn't campaign on? Nominal tax breaks that do not help the affordability crisis so many Canadians face. Tax the rich. Invest in SUSTAINABLE energy. Stop being a conservative. Bloody hell. "Innovation" isn't the same old promises and pipelines.

It's so basic, so true, that we should be terrified our leaders have shown us they are not up to the task.

Meanwhile Carney is best summed up by the new mayor of New York: "For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty."

Abysmal statement from Canada on the illegal US action in Venezuela. It doesn’t matter how much you dislike Maduro, that doesn’t justify a violation of international law and the UN Charter. You can’t call on “all parties” to respect international law and not call out US lawlessness.

Foreign affairs minister Anita Anand just released Canada’s official statement on “the situation in Venezuela”: Does not condemn illegal American military actions, reiterates position that the kidnapped president was illegitimate, calls on “all parties to respect international law,” etc

This is just an admission that Conservatives do not believe in the rule of law and are perfectly fine with kidnapping and murder.

Why should any of us trust any political party to regulate the Internet when they refuse to stop using a platform that generates child sex images? All their sanctimonious talk about “polarization,” “misinformation,” “online harms,” “protecting children,” etc. rings hollow when they continue using X

This is exactly why I'm skeptical of politicians trying to get my vote when actions don't match words. Yes, looking at you @avilewis.ca & @heathermcpherson.bsky.social But it gives a lot more credibility to @votetanille.bsky.social knowing she's the only NDP leadership candidate not on twitter.

As we reflect upon 2025, it's important to think of those who have wronged us and know that we can choose to bring our petty grudges with us into 2026 or we can opt to leave them behind and move forward productively with our lives. And we must reject the latter option on account of it being stupid.

Gonna be a little bit ~different~ today and pay tribute to the queer icons of Christmas. Starting with fussy, frustrated, child-hating Professor Hinkle from "Frosty the Snowman."

Yeah, they’re racist and stupid and weird but they’re also just so utterly boring.

Attacks on feminism are similar to attacks on vaccines. We begin to take for granted a world where women have rights and most children live to see adulthood, and then, over time, we begin to forget, neglect, and (now) reject the movements and innovations that brought us here.

Terrifying headline if you don’t realize they are sports teams.

It's hard for us to appreciate the true scale of Mount Everest. So to put it in a context that we can all understand, here's a comparison chart showing the height of Mount Everest alongside other tall things

yeah i love push ups- push up these chips into my mouth

Former race driver Greg Biffle and members of his family were among seven people who died in a plane crash Thursday in North Carolina, state police said.

“The Liberal leader wouldn't answer whether he'd accept MPs who hold anti-abortion or anti-trans views into his caucus." The only acceptable answer is “No”. Full stop. It’s a simple question to determine if you have morals and integrity. I guess we know the answer. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

I feel as though there should be a law that says if Pierre Poilievre gets defenestrated as CPC leader in January then he has to move to Battle River—Crowfoot and live there until the next election because I think this would teach everyone involved an invaluable lesson about shenanigans.

One of my all-time favorite clips of Rob Reiner, from his Friars Club Roast in 2000, as he reads aloud Roger Ebert's infamous scathing review of his movie North. The man had an amazing sense of humor about himself. RIP.

This is a delight. It came out a month ago but I'm a little behind on my commercial watching youtu.be/9sOygyvSnMU?...

Philip Rivers, who did NOT die,

The kind .. you find … in a second hand store

How are Poilievre’s words and actions any different today than during the campaign earlier this year? Or in fact, his whole political career? What changed other than he’s not 20 points up in the polls? Smells like just cynical opportunism to me. #cdnpoli
