Pierre Poilievre is at it again. Trashing the strategies that are building up industries. He has never shown any interest in the northern economy. He just uses our region as a platform for rage ranting. Slogans don't build economies Pierre. www.sudbury.com/local-news/w...

Do you think that breaking the boycott will make you welcome in the United States? Think again. Finger printed, photographed and vehicles thoroughly searched. You better hope you don't have a conviction for smoking marijuana when you were 18. www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

Any American medium that fails to cover the largest protests in American history is failing in the basic mission of informing the public about the facts. #NoKings

PM Carney: "Yes, we have to deliver, Canadians are not unrealistic people, they know it won't change overnight, but they need to see us doing everything we can to make sure that it changes for the medium term." ❤️🍁🇨🇦TEAM CANADA FOREVER🇨🇦🍁❤️ ❤️🍁🇨🇦VIVE LE CANADA 🇨🇦🍁❤️

Well, why the fuck they're still going to the United States is beyond me. www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

Coast Guard bought Kristi Noem two private jets (I guess if one breaks down). Cost: $172 million. Is that what you call draining the swamp?

I hear from informed sources that these #NoKings rallies are more than twice as big as last time, making them easily the largest protests in US history. Thanks to everyone and especially organizers.

Speaking at #NoKings Cincinnati. No kings. Freedom.

And *this* is why the White House spent all week desperately--and stupidly--trying to undermine No Kings in advance. They had reason to be scared.

A lone voice speaking truth may be drowned by a cacophonous enemy. But when true warriors stand together, add their voices to a chorus, the words gain the power to sweep away any perfidious clamor. Today of all days, add your voice, warriors, and sing for what's right.

The streets of New York are packed end to end, millions of people across every city are out calling for the fall of the regime. #3E #EndImpunity #EndAutogenocide #EndOligarchy #NoKings

I'm told that more people showed up in Times Square in NYC today to not celebrate Trump than they did on New Year's Eve to celebrate the new year.

Happy No Kings day to all! We'll be making signs this morning for an afternoon event. In the meantime, here is my first glimpse of comet Swan, seen through a small telescope after sunset last night. 🔭

To our friends in the U.S. taking to the streets for NO TYRANTS / NO KINGS, Canadians stand with you. Stay safe. Stay strong. Look out for one another. We’ve got your back. youtu.be/MNnJuiiSPDw?...

Stand up for No Kings Day. I was asked to record a solidarity message for the rallies in Montreal and Toronto. Mon message à MAGA États-Unis est simple - bye bye mon Cowboy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNnJ...

Over the next few evenings Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) will appear close to Arcturus (Alpha Boötes). A great #astrophotography opportunity. Look west with binoculars! 🔭 🧪

Good night everyone

WTF. His whole script is Trump! Poilievre pitches crime crackdown, saying some communities have become 'war zones' #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

When you think of iconic movie posters, you think of his work. RIP Drew Struzan, you will always be the gold standard.

Calling out PP vm.tiktok.com/ZMAXyA1p6/

Mini-Trump wants the "despicable" RCMP to jail Justin Trudeau. When PP was in government we had: Fraud king Arthur Porter-jailed Pm chief of staff Bruce Carson-jailed Del Maestro-jailed Nigel Wright-$90,000 secret pay out. btw, who directed Pierre Poutine? Putting the con in conservative

Did this woman get a visit from 3 ghosts?

OMG! Clearly, a message from radical anarchists who want violence because they hate America!!! (Republicans are shameless liars addicted to fictional talking points.)

Pure political revenge by Trump.

French writer, Albert Camus once said-"Be careful, when democracy is sick, fascism comes to its bedside, but not to inquire about its health." And with a thin smile, it fluffs the pillow, smooths the sheets, and whispers, "Rest now—I’ll take it from here."

Here's an idea for the American politicians trying to entice Canadians to spend our money in a land of gangster fascism: Offer free burner phones so we won't be thrown in detention for our social media posts. OR, We could say hell no, we ain't travelling to the USA. www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/...

This alone should be disqualifying for holding public office. No matter how many times #PierrePoilievre gets corrected on his ignorant lies, he keeps repeating them like he is uneducable. Rigidly mired in far right ideology, divorced from fact or reason. RW internet talking points are his *policy*.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi has had enough of the right wing-lies. As Dems continue to show up to try and make a deal to reopen the government, Pelosi was confronted by a reporter asking about January 6th. Pelosi snapped back telling her to "shut up".

On Monday, Pierre Poilievre shared his party’s petition to “end DEI” and “restore the merit principle.” Just before that, another Conservative MP posted that “Canada must now place restrictions on birthright citizenship” If it all sounds a bit Trump-y, that’s probably because…it is:

As the night sky becomes less visible (pollution, ppl head down in phones etc), will it get harder to interest ppl in astronomy, satellites & space science? I was talking to space industry types last night & they feel public apathy. But is that a surprise when ppl can’t/don’t see the sky?

Speaker Johnson, you ready to swear me in?

Country with massive housing shortage not sure what to do with all these empty office buildings

Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) now has an observed brightness of magnitude 5.0. Its brightest so far. A week away from closest approach to Earth. By coincidence also a week away from the peak of the Orionids meteor shower. 🔭 🧪

Solidarity is the only way

I'm still working on this one, but it's looking good so far: IC 1318, the Butterfly Nebula. The very bright star near the right edge is Sadr (Gamma Cygni), the star that marks the center of the cross in Cygnus the Swan. 9 hrs, #Seestar S50 🔭 from N. Atlanta suburbs Siril, GraXpert, Starnet, GIMP 🧪🦋
