Just appalling

Adult who stands outside elementary schools with weird signs about children and gender claims the new leader of the BC Conservatives privately affirmed her position on a question of public policy to him during an in-person meeting:

With our AFL-CIO and Solidarity Center colleagues, gearing up for a day of prep meetings with the workers’ group at the ILC! Two weeks of hard work ahead here in Geneva.

Canada leads a group of nine countries formally objecting to the merger of UN Women and UNFPA, because of the risk of diluting mandates on gender equality and women’s health

Go Charge Go

Hi @timtierney.ca, There’s a crew of Ottawa Charge fans that waited nearly an hour at Montreal Station for the @octranspo.com 405 shuttle service. Schedule said 3 busses came and went, but that’s not the case. First game of the Walter Cup Finals at CTC. Inexcusable. @mayormarksutcliffe.bsky.social

LET’S GO CHARGE!!!!

BREAKING: We just temporarily blocked enforcement of a Kansas law banning gender-affirming medical care for transgender people under 18. A state court found the law likely violates the Kansas state constitution.

*flips table*

What a way to end the day, surrounded by powerhouses at the Women’s Forum. A space full of strength, solidarity, and women leading the charge. Because equity isn’t optional in this movement, it’s the foundation. ✊#CLC2026

I need to share this earworm or I will never get it out of my head. Heard last Friday night at the old high school haunt, Winnipeg’s Royal Albert Arms. Welcome all to my misspent youth youtu.be/1FUyrnXJFJE?...

We are not here because we want to exchange polite conversations. We are here because democracy is being squeezed. The forces coordinated against us are well funded and relentless. This is a deliberate global pattern. Toni Moore from Barbados at tonight’s international solidarity forum

We fight for peace. We fight for democracy. We fight for the stability of our societies: Omar Faruk Osman, General Secretary, Federation of Somali Trade Unions (FESTU). This international solidarity forum is always a convention highlight

She made it

73% of mothers with kids under 18 are in the workforce. More than flowers or brunch, working moms need: -Paid family leave -Equal pay -Universal childcare -Universal healthcare (But get your mom flowers, too)

My 16yo wants to make a sign for tomorrow's Charge game based on this episode of Tinga Tales, but is afraid it's too niche.

On May 9, 1992, a methane explosion killed 26 miners at the Westray Mine in Nova Scotia. A public inquiry found miners' concerns over their safety were ignored, along with poor oversight by government regulators that led to the disaster. This is the story. 📸 SaltWire 🧵 1/10

Guess where I am tonight @paulbadertscher.bsky.social

Unbelievable

Legal experts just confirmed Danielle Smith's private health care law breaks the Canada Health Act. Wealthy patients pay to skip the line. Everyone else waits longer. Protecting public healthcare is the federal government's job. So why is PM Carney letting Conservatives dismantle it?

As we head into troubled waters, it’s critical to have people in key positions with the smarts, knowledge, experience, maturity and fortitude to steer us through this mess. It would be difficult to find a better GG than Louise Arbour. brigittepellerin.substack.com/p/a-great-da...

YouTube has removed one of my videos because I reported that women can still access abortion pills. I shared *factual & medically accurate* information about women's health—yet the platform says I'm "facilitating the sale of illegal drugs"

Louise Arbour is Canada's new Governor General. She was top prosecutor at the international court. She brought charges against President Milošević, secured the first conviction for genocide since 1948, prosecuted sexual assault as a crime against humanity. This is a powerful statement.

In what tangible way has Mark Sutcliffe actually improved this city. Answer me. Quickly.

May 5 is Red Dress Day, the national day of awareness for missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. Winnipeg Free Press columnist Niigaan Sinclair shares his thoughts on the upcoming day as the crisis of MMIWG continues. Watch more on Truth & Politics: youtu.be/T9fg2qUm3Y4

Squeeeeee!

I found 3 more.

Wow. Never had a morel pop up in my front yard before

Demoted? DEMOTED?! These fuckers get to continue wearing a badge and packing a sidearm when they SHOULD be facing criminal charges??!! ACAB, every gd day.

OK, so this is not a sovereign wealth fund, it's just a variation on the failed Canada Infrastructure Bank model where public money 'de-risks' private capital in order to 'catalyze' investment - www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRYa...

We seem to be the only folks at the neighbourhood bar watching the Charge game. Sheesh! jump in, the water’s fine!

At an impressive gathering at the Senate of Canada, honouring four important femtors and reflecting on the “virus of inequality”. Senator Marilou McPhedran provided opening remarks

Just a bit of context, when Mintz hand picked people when he started his policy school, he selected, not via open competitions but via his own selection methods, 100% men. And the university let him.

City Council passed Ottawa’s “Bubble By‑law” this week. I voted against it - and I’m comfortable with my vote. Not because I oppose safe access, and not because I dismiss the fear many residents feel, but because of how this by‑law chose to address those fears. 1/

There is a LOT of enthusiastic theatre teen energy in the NAC theatre this evening. I’m exhausted already and the Canadian Improv Games finals haven’t even started! #improv

I am in Ottawa and met up with my former colleague @heathermcpherson.bsky.social She never loses sight of the issues of building a better Canada. When I am in Alberta she always puts me to work. It was good to talk to her about the global crisis. When she speaks, I listen. Her opinions matter.

This driver was going so fast that they FLIPPED A CAR in a freaking school zone!!! And collectively, our community shrugs. There wasn't any media coverage beyond this CTV post. In what other domain would we accept this level of recklessness and risk?
