Hallway medicine, nurse shortages, ERs buckling. Meanwhile Doug Ford burned billions on license plates no one wanted, a broken COVID app, private clinics, and buddies’ contracts. Health care didn’t fail. It was starved. Deliberately. #onpoli #cdnpoli #dougford #idiot

Back in June, we were trying to sort out what we would do if Cyril Sneer somehow took over Gander. So we incorporated as a Benefit Company. Since it’s a fairly new concept here in Canada, you can read about it on our blog: gandersocial.ca/blog/friends... Or the thread for highlights.

Odd that you seem to be unaware that almost half a million Albertans JUST signed a petition to stay in Canada. It was big news. Also big news is that the AB premier is the first ever to face recall. We are using every resource open to us to turn the tide. You are not being helpful here.

Shhh!! Be Very Quiet... Early morning. Pablo The Pine Marten, looking sneaky behind a snowbank. Don't let the good looks fool you. He's known as nature's most adorable assassin. A true predator. Very handsome. 📸🇨🇦 #AlgonquinPark #PineMarten #Mammals #WildlifePhotography #OntarioParks #Canada

Awwww! 🐴😇

Baby Sulwe is one of our grandcalves, born in 2024 to ex-orphan Sonje. Since her birth, we've met a further 18 wild-born babies, who were all born in 2025. Meet 18 reasons that gave us hope this year: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/o...

Per Craig Ferguson: When you're about to say something, ask yourself 1. Does this need to be said 2. Does this need to be said by me 3. Does this need to be said by me right now It's amazing how asking these will get keep you out of trouble (that is, if you actually have sense to begin with)

I hope y'all are getting your information from Canada, the UK, etc. Trump and RFK Jr. really screwed you. www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

Love this so much.

~Happy Birthday to Justin Pierre James Trudeau Canada's Honourable Prime Minister who served us well, the 23rd Prime Minister of Canada from 2015 to 2025. Born on Christmas Day Dec. 25th #CanadaStrongAndFree 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 #JustinTrudeau @liberalca.bsky.social

Each year on Gurpurab (the birthday of Sikhism's founder Guru Nanak), when I share about it on social media, something beautiful happens: the comment section gets filled with warm wishes and kind words from those people who don't share my faith. Today, on Christmas, (1 of thread)

This is fabulous. www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5X0...

Sweet story. Beautiful animals and beautiful human. 💗

Shad tidings we bring to you and your fin! 🐟 Our #25DaysofFishmas road trip heads up the East Coast for a fish as American as apple pie - American Shad (Alosa sapidissima)! Known for their spawning runs, shad know that no matter how far away you roam, no trip could be too far when it comes to home

The last photo I took with my D610 and 200-500mm lens before they took a nose dive off of the shelf while I was outside shoveling. They served me well for many years. #mammals 🌿

Good morning Bluesky. Lake Superior. Northern Ontario. Winter beauty.

The funniest roast if ever Ive heard one

This is a serious long term government program and Carney has put some teeth behind it, more than Trudeau, it can’t be taken away by the opposition very easily. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Sadness arrives uninvited. Joy demands more—it requires us to search, to kindle, to protect the flame against every wind. When we choose joy despite everything that argues against it, we don't just save ourselves—we illuminate the way for everyone around us.

Democracy is strongest when everyone participates. Proud of our Youth Caucus for ensuring that young people in Canada have a voice in Parliament.

America's Vice President says the racist hater no longer need to bother with white hoods. This guy is a good buddy of Jamil Jivani - Canada's low rent version of Charlie Kirk and the new rising star of the Poilievre caucus. The hate playbook is as clear as can be.

Great Grey Owl was a neat shot. But the explanation for the title that TO gave for it, made me grin.

❤️❤️❤️ "One man has meticulously stitched together over 850 bags to sell in Manitoba and northwestern Ontario, helping feed the 1,700 people who use the Steinbach area food bank." They're $5 and 100% of the profits go to the food bank. 🧶 #sewing #crafts www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

“The spring federal election saw voters elect four MPs who were born in the 2000s — the first Canadians from that age cohort ever to take seats in the House of Commons.” They launched a Liberal "youth caucus" to address issues specifically affecting Canadian youth a group often overlooked. #Canada

If a “little toy doll(y) that toddles and coos” is on your list, Salmonid Claus is definitely going to deliver on Day 21 of #25DaysofFishmas! We end the northwest leg of our road trip with the Dolly Varden (Salvelinus malma), a brightly colored fish + this week’s #SundayFishSketch mystery species!

Yetu is an entirely wild elephant – born to ex-orphan Yatta in 2012. vYet she keeps coming to show us her babies. On 7th December, she did it again – this time with a brand new daughter. Her name is Yasmin. And just like that, Yatta is a grandmother twice over: www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.o...

This an incredible service to both the young and elderly who participate. When i worked in an extended care facility at the beginning of my nursing career, i remember hearing about this bold new program being tried in SK (i think). Monumental reciprocal benefits.

Chile is to create a 150,000 hectare national park at 'the edge of the world', with forests, peatlands, glaciers, and coastline. Protecting wilderness is by far the best weapon we have against ecological collapse. share.google/QqQvdJDwY5Mt...

It still blows my mind to think of how many of these freedoms happened in MY lifetime. And how far we still have to go.
