MERCY (2026) dir: Timur Bekmambetov

Hi Canadian Bluesky, did you know Save On grocery, auto, etc oligarch Jim Pattison is selling his Hanover Virginia property to ICE for a detention facility? Here's the report, next post in thread is his businesses you may wish to consider boycotting FOREVER www.wric.com/news/local-n...

I hope it's not lost on anyone that the exact same motherfuckers on the Canadian right who spent decades wielding the idea of Canadian Patriotism like a cudgel, talking about "real Canadians", accusing every opponent of "hating Canada", are now pivoting to a platform of literal treason

The irony of everyone fawning over how Mark Carney is 'standing up' for Canada is that he is simultaneously eroding the few institutions that actually distinguish the Canadian state from the US, and those which theoretically could be used to shield Canadians from the disaster area to the south.

*some people call me Maurice voice* cuz I'm a skeeter, deleter a bluesky poster...

➡️ And if you haven’t already, join the Canadian Labour Congress’s call on Carney’s Liberal government to stop attacking workers’ right to strike and bargain collectively by removing Section 107 from the Canada Labour Code: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

➡️ Join 2SLGBTQQIA+ rights advocates telling the federal government to uphold the Charter and the Canada Health Act, and stop Danielle Smith’s anti-trans attacks on essential healthcare for youth: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

➡️ Join the Canadian Alliance of Student Associations’ call on the Liberal government to reverse its huge cut to vital student financial assistance and to stop neglecting essential investment in postsecondary education: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

More and more we’re seeing human rights violations and rollbacks to essential public programs by politicians who’d like more than anything to shield themselves from democracy. Want to make your voice heard? Sign my sponsored petitions and tell them we’ve had enough:🧵

— Israel kills 3 journalists, including CBS contributor — AFP, the other impacted outlet, condemns killing & calls for investigation — CBS doesn't, instead peddles Israel's claim that they were targeting a group with "a drone affilliated with Hamas" Inside the Bari Weiss-led CBS response:

So what is the point of all this? 1) to point out that it's not hyperbole to suggest Alberta will do whatever it takes to destroy Canada 2) that there's very little point in appeasement like building pipelines, and the real way to fight Alberta's greed is to kill oil and gas as quickly as possible.

You might say "but they aren't the MAJORITY." No, I'd call them a plurality. Polling says 20% vote to separate, but an additional 20% support the same party as those nutters because they don't want to hurt their bottom line. THAT'S Alberta - the guy screaming Paki AND the people beside us who shrug.

I was born and raised in Alberta. Lived in Edmonton and Calgary. I've stayed in Strathmore, High River, Claresholm, Medicine Hat, Red Deer, Fort Mac, Jasper, Banff, Black Diamond and more. When I talk about Alberta, I know what I'm talking about. Alberta - enough of it to matter - hates Canada.

Yes!!!!! www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Solidarity with the people of Minnesota, challenging the cold-hearted cruelty of ICE with the fire of mass action. Let this general strike be a turning point in the fight against Trump's impunity and authoritarianism! We’re taking inspiration from your courage.

1/ As the people of Minneapolis rise up against ICE, it's painful and shameful that Canadian companies are selling armoured vehicles to Trump's masked militia and providing tech support to the dept of Homeland Security.

Someone should write a story tallying all the times that Poilievre, Smith and other conservative politicians compared Alberta vs BC drug poisonings using false numbers. Here’s what was actually going on:

If you want to know what people mean when they say Democrats are "controlled opposition," rather than whipping votes against ICE funding, Hakeem Jeffries struck a deal with Republicans to allow Democrats to feign outrage at ICE while still funding the spending package.

ICE detain yet another minor child—chase him down his own street and tackle him to pavement. "I am legal! I am legal!" he cries over and over in Spanish. Agent pins the boy down in snow—he desperately tries to keep his exposed hands from freezing at -25°F wind chill temperature. Minneapolis, MN

when the big dumper finally croaks we get one day to party and the very next day we need to tool up with melee weapons and chase every one of these ghouls down

People sometimes wonder why more and more sports talk guys are going into politics and I think it's a natural transition because Sports Talk Gasbag is one of the only non-political media jobs where you can just phone it in and openly lie about the thing you're covering and completely get away w it.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Great seeing so many Christian leaders, along with other religious leaders, speaking out for human dignity, rights, and respect in Minnesota—"whatever you did for one of the least of these..."—while America is run by power-abusing "Christians" who stand for violence, money, and cruelty to strangers.

Alberta Health Services docs obtained via freedom of information request show that up to 85 percent of provincial EMS dispatches for drug toxicity were not reported by the Alberta government, @drugdatadecoded.ca reports: drugdatadecoded.ca/up-to-89-per...

damn, Flex this Too Short and Erick Sermon jammie 🔥🔥🔥

it takes a generous, thoughtful person to archive and distribute cool, obscure shit for free, and Jamo from Let The Brainz Blog is one of those people tonight I'm getting into this Hot 97 Funkmaster Flex tape from 1996:

inescapable conclusion is we have no laws, just cops

Opinion: Heated Rivalry, a show which wouldn't exist without CanCon laws, shows Canadian content doesn't need CanCon laws

Or, Heated Rivalry only exists because of CanCon requirements. Otherwise CTV/Bell/Crave would have just imported another American show. Just because it's successful doesn't mean that it isn't a product of the ecosystem it was created in.

Signs about the history of slavery in the U.S. and the 9 people George Washington enslaved are being removed right now at the President’s House Site in Philadelphia, across from Independence Hall, months after the Trump administration threatend to do so. How far we have not come in 250 years.

If every Democrat voted NO on funding ICE, it would not have passed the House. But, 7 House Democrats voted to fund Trump's lawless, masked goons, so it passed. Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his members to vote against ICE funding. Genuinely unforgivable.

underrated aspect of tending bar up north was American tourists wouldn't bother to change their cash to Canadian and then start harumphing when they were informed it would be taken at par the era of people clapping like seals for American money was ending and it made them confused and angry

this is not a tiktok it is a documentary

This here is some mind boggling ridiculousness. Parks Canada announced the Register for Historic Places - a searchable database and a cornerstone for understanding heritage places – will be permanently unplugged this spring @willgreavesmp.bsky.social #CdnHist nationaltrustcanada.ca/online-stori...

Democratic leadership is terrified of being seen on the side of the people of Minneapolis, least they lose the potential future support of pro-cop people whose support they do not and never will have.

Absolutely surreal to read "Homelessness is rising fast among a surprising group: infants and toddlers" as Congress prepares to hand ICE another $10 billion to terrorize communities across the country.

The good old Israeli ceasefire: "They cease, we fire"

I think about this almost every day

Musk represents the destruction of the greatest of all human commons, besides the planet he insists we can simply dispose of when we're done with it: our shared sense of reality, and ability to collectively reason about the world. Once he has strip mined this resource, only nightmares will remain.

the reason the elite are so desperate to vilify hard-working people coming to this country to build a better life for their families, unleashing wave after wave of gutter racism in the process, is to distract from the fact that their incestuous degeneracy causes most of our actual problems

absolutely insane to see Musk feted at Davos as the icon of a boldly "optimistic" future in 2026, as if he hadn't just spent the last year buying elections for fascists, making Nazi salutes, condemning millions in Africa to death, and building "Mechahitler," and a nonconsensual porn/CSAM generator

Deporting children with cancer. Using a 5-year-old as bait. Shooting moms. ICE is beyond reform. And today the House is voting to bankroll more terror. Hell no.

Our city has been over-run by Nazi ghouls kidnapping people to traffic them to concentration camps and other countries. Did you ever think you'd see the day when masked gunmen jump out of moving vehicles and chase families down the street in your own neighborhood? FUCK ICE forever and ever.

Speeches are great but a reminder that what we're getting here in Canada so far is: * Tax cuts for the wealthy * Militarization and more surveillance powers * More oil, less action on climate change. * Austerity and cuts to the public service * Deals with authoritarian regimes

Scenes from occupied Minneapolis: "3 SUVs ICE officers driving down 21st to 42nd street. The ice officer rolled down his window and took a photo of me and said 'I got you motherfucker'. I am just a home owner going outside to see what was going on."

I love my profession deeply, but some of them are not covering themselves in glory these days. If a mob boss draws a sharp blade languidly across your palm and says it would be a real shame for you to lose your pinky, your headline isn't "Godfather rules out hacking off finger to settle debt."
