It’s been an emotional week - Orange Shirt Day, Dr. Jane’s passing, and our run/walk/roll to help finish Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope. Fundraising has been tough this year. These are not easy times. But if you can, please consider making a donation to the foundation on behalf of a local school.

Tod Maffin: In memory of Marc Garneau. Science still matters. Maybe, now more than ever.

Google, Home Depot, Nissan, Adidas and Clorox have announced their plans to abandon funding for Pride Toronto. “These are American companies and they are showing their true colours,” says Pride head Kojo Modeste. Hey, it’s their money but they won’t be getting mine and I have a *long* memory 👎🏼

Happy pride month ❤️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Happy pride month, folks! #LoveIsLoveIsLove

Kash Patel: Canadians better get to stepping to secure the northern border. Canadians:

Ready to meet five rare dinosaur discoveries? Here are the photos from a new Tyrrell exhibit

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com Three Yale professors who have written extensively on authoritarianism are leaving the U.S. “We’re like people on the Titanic saying our ship can’t sink,” Marci Shore said. “And what you know as a historian is that there is no such thing as a ship that can’t sink.”

That is in fact what this administration has done.

Ben from Ben and Jerry’s just told Congress “YOU’RE KILLING POOR KIDS IN GAZA AND PAYING FOR IT BY CUTTING MEDICAID FOR KIDS HERE.”

this is unforgiveable

So many layers of corruption.

Boss mode… Representative Maxine Waters single-handedly shuts it down! Put this into my veins all day 🔥🔥🔥

I lived in South Africa for six years. The concept of white *Afrikaaner* South Africans being flown to the U.S. as "refugees" is more outrageous than you can imagine. 🤯😡

•••••BREAKING••••• Federal immigration agents arrested Newark Mayor Ras Baraka early Friday afternoon as he protested the opening of a new detention center in the New Jersey city. Mayor Baraka was led away in handcuffs as he…

As a Canadian I have to say it’s kinda surreal to log onto Bluesky and regularly be greeted by a wall of horrifying new updates from American users about their country’s descent into fascism

So it’s Friday night and Rumeysa Ozturk is out on bail, Ras Baraka is in Homeland Security custody, and Stephen Miller is casually toying with suspending habeas corpus. Do I have that right?

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka. They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

ICE is the Gestapo. Full stop.

Menendez Jr: They feel no weight of the law and no restraint on what they should be doing. And that was shown in broad daylight today when they not just arrested the Mayor of Newark but when they put their hands on two members of congress standing behind me. How is this acceptable?

Sesame St 😭 🎶Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street? Come and play everything's A-OK Friendly neighbors there that's where we meet Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street It's a magic carpet ride every door will open wide To happy people like you🎶 #SheShed

Watch (in 3 parts) @davidwcochrane.bsky.social slay the sweaty, stuttering demon on live TV today on #PnPCBC as he takes Scheer to task on his lies. It’s so infuriating watching a politician disinform so brazenly but so refreshing watching the media do their job so effectively. Bravo. (1/3)

Elbows up! Vote, but don’t just vote: volunteer, vote with a pal, drive somebody to a poll… #NeverVoteConservative #WomenAgainstPoilievre #NeverPoilievre #cdnpoli #CanadaSky #TeamCarney2025 #TeamGerretsen2025 #TeamFanjoy2025

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes. We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

Democracy is a fragile thing Today, I have a feeling Canadians will show up in big numbers, vote, and push back against autocracy

The racist, misogynist Rebel News acts as Poilievre’s mouthpiece. They made sure the press conference wouldn’t happen so that he could avoid questions from the legitimate media. Conservatives are absolute garbage. #cdnpoli #NeverVoteConservative #Carney4Canada

Poilievre is promising to eradicate “woke ideology”. He wants to control how universities educate. Sounds Trumpily familiar. #cdnpoli #Carney4Canada #ElbowsUp

Really hope the voters of Ottawa-Carleton elect Bruce Fanjoy. You know, “For A Change” #NeverVoteConservative #cdnpoli #Carney4Canads

So much crying from Pierre’s Alberta fan boys.

In case you hadn't noticed:

📌BREAKING: “60 Minutes” Executive Producer Bill Owens, resigns saying, “Over the past months, it has become clear that I would not be allowed to run the show as I have always run it, to make independent decisions based on what was right for ‘60 Minutes,’ right for the audience.” 📌CHILLING

Happy Earth Day! 💚

Is this “Canada First,” Pierre? #FanjoyVsPoilievre

These are monsters, not Christians!

I’m dying 😂

The dumbing down begins with a Poilievre government

My first apartment in 1994 was $350/month. Adjusting for inflation, that apartment should now rent for $744/month. It actually rents for $1500. Greed and inflation are hurting the kids, not their Starbucks lattes.
