It is important to note that the first Canadian casualties, for answering the US article 5 call, were the US military murdering Canadian soldiers for being where they told us to be, doing what they told us to do. #TarnakFarm Never, again, America, never again.

“…our national press, claiming to provide an impartial news service, was sailing under false colours. Many newspapers, even those which openly wore the livery of party beliefs, were secretly enslaved to unavowed … interests. Some of them were controlled by foreign interests.” -Marc Bloch. Leave X.

Terribly uncanny how relevant this is to today.

50% of Conservatives are traitors — and the other 50% enable them. The CPC either needs to split into two separate parties, or enact serious change from within. Either way, Maple MAGA needs a new home. Because, right now, their very existence is a threat to Canada. cultmtl.com/2025/12/50-o...

Froze my ass off at the Iowa City anti-ICE rally, but it was worth it

Welcome to new followers, I hope you’ll like it here. You might have a detox period after leaving X - I know I did: when I wasn’t getting nasty comments to everything I posted and firing back, it took a while to adjust.

This photo is Canadians fighting the Nazis in the Battle of Britain. We were a poor country of 11 million people. We built the 4th largest air force and navy in the world. When the Brits were being evacuated at Dunkirk we were already defending her shores. Message to fascists and tyrants: FAFO

Still don't think they'll invade Canada? Really?

How I’m walking out of 2025

@nmtdambusters.bsky.social For you, Jane!

Merle is looking with some scepticism at my attempts to write a paper. Not helping me overcome the imposter syndrome, bud.

Honestly Professor, I tried to get my homework done!

Farage's former right hand man in Wales, Nathan Gill, has been sentenced to 10.5 years in prison. He was taking bribes to spread pro Russian propaganda. Betraying Britain in support of a foreign power is the opposite of patriotism. #NeverVoteReform

Nicely done, RCAF!

So, um, if anyone has any pennies in the couch cushions they could send my way, my neighbor just found these in his shed. He knows I “help kittens” and well, here we are. They’re underweight and filthy, and the smallest one worries me, but we’ll get him bathed and fed and figure things out. /1

Just 11 places left now. Keeping this group necessarily small enough that everyone gets proper attention and a chance to develop!

A kid from my village in Ontario who never made it home. He died at a place called Vindictive 107 years ago today. Remember them.

It’s a lovely thing to have someone sweet to come home to.

Bunch of losers. 😤

De Adder hits the nail on the head again.

Anyone else?

From Octavia Butler, “Parable of the Talents”:

Francis Pegahmagabow was one of the most effective snipers of the First World War. Highly decorated for his service, he is remembered as one of Canada's greatest soldiers. After the war, he became an activist for his people. This is his story. 🧵 1/10

Wonderful interview with Margaret Atwood. Well worth a read.

Mr. Duke looking particularly regal this evening.

Just devastated at this tragic loss. Fuck cancer. 🤬

Sunday afternoon naps with the house panthers.

I want to be Granny Weatherwax when I grow up.

🇩🇪⚠️ German intelligence has stated that Putin is ready to start a war with Europe "at any moment." Moscow intends to test the strength of European borders, and this could happen at any time, stated head of BND.

Question for my historian friends: what do you do when you’re researching something and find massive contradictions in secondary sources? Like, I’m talking yawning gulfs between descriptions of events? 😳

They’re not acting like they’re in a four-year term. They’re acting like they’re in an everlasting dictatorship. Are we all clear on this?

I finished listening to “1944: The Reckoning” by @philmcraig.bsky.social today, and now I’m sad because I didn’t want it to end! I got attached to many of the people he profiles in the book (especially nurse Angela). I’m going to have to listen again from the start. Beautiful book, well narrated!

I’m shocked! (No, I’m not. 😒)

@philmcraig.bsky.social Any notion when the hard copy of “1945 The Reckoning” will be released over here? So far I’m just seeing the ebook. I’m eager to get my hands on it!

Mother and son. So glad Alex could be with me at We Have Ways Fest!
