Advocacy groups apply to keep court case against Alberta trans laws alive Egale and Skipping Stone say they plan to argue Alberta has effectively developed a criminal law — something outside of its jurisdiction. News from me this afternoon: www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/prairies_bc/...

This is why hating and mocking AI relentlessly and publicly is vital work.

happy stylish but illegal monkey day to all who celebrate!!!!! by the way his name is darwin and he lives a farm now

Reminder that not only do library systems have physical media (& many also lend tools, electronics etc), your library card may give you access to streamers Kanopy and Hoopla. We just watched Francis Ford Coppola’s adaptation of The Rainmaker via a hoopla the other night. Pretty good!

I was following this on Reddit last week and everything about it makes me SO happy! #PWHL www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

complaining about paywalls when so many journalists are being laid off and there are fewer market incentives to do great reporting and in-depth investigations, data analysis and features is also wild when everyone understands you need to pay for electronics, streaming services, and utilities

Always shocked by people on this site & elsewhere who will @ a working journo or writer, someone whose (in my case) pay hasn't increased in 13 years & who likely live/work precarious lives, with an indignant "paywall" or suggest a non-library workaround cheat. Such raw rudeness, nerve & contempt.

skeptic is a definitionally inaccurate word to describe most of these ACIP members. their actions show they aren’t skeptical. they don’t consider evidence. their minds are made up. @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social has more knowledge than anyone about this, and she calls them hardcore anti-vaccine 👇

Spooner goals always make me happy!! @pwhlsceptres.bsky.social #PWHL

Where was this goal tending against Minnesota?! #PWHL

I’ve been part of girl guides off and on since I was 6 years old. This means a lot!

The Girl Guides of Canada say: Be prepared to protect trans rights.

Erica Howe will be performing the ceremonial puck drop tonight between the Toronto Sceptres and Ottawa Charge. Carla MacLeod will be back behind the bench. There will also be a Canadian Cancer Society booth on the concourse for fans to visit.

Saw a Subaru on my drive this morning where zero effort had been made to clear 10cm of snow off the top. I’m very disappointed in them.

I really appreciate Girl Guides of Canada re-affirming that they will continue to include trans and non-binary members! www.instagram.com/p/DR0RVGpjNR...

This polar bear sanctuary livestream is bringing me so much joy! www.polarbearhabitat.ca/watch-live

Wow. Huge news for the Bruce Trail & Beaver Valley. There were fears the old ski resort was to become a sprawl housing development.

Over my dead body will I let those fuckers Pepe Franklin.

Covid conscious people stop downplaying colds and flu to play up covid challenge. Difficulty: Impossible

All of these claims about covid are true about colds, the flu, or both, and I'm really friggin tired of people lying and downplaying the long term risks of colds and the flu to play up covid.

In Canada, the first amendment is the Rupert's Land Act of 1868, which transferred land from the Hudson's Bay Company to Canada. It doesn't have all that much to say about parody, really.

🔥 BREAKING: A spokesperson for Kids Can Press, the publisher of the Franklin the Turtle books, messaged me today about Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth using the likeness and image from the books to make light of killings in the Caribbean in his post yesterday on X.

Huge day for Canadian political comedy

Members of the legal community are panning Ontario’s attempt to toughen up bail conditions, as what's proposed will further disadvantage marginalized individuals. @journodale.bsky.social has the details. www.nationalmagazine.ca/en-ca/articl...

It really has been interesting the last while to see Doug Ford's outbursts. The true Ford. From "get a job" to "audit orgs that might support left wing causes". The authoritarian belligerent bully that had no staff to muzzle him in City Hall days is still there. Does Ontario see? Do they care?

This was amazing! (Volume up)

I feel bad for the people who decided they’d never watch the #PWHL again because it was so unfair how stacked the new teams were.

Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

Dan Levy openly says that Schitt's Creek would not have survived anywhere except the CBC because it was weird and took a season or so to find its feet... Just for reference if you wanna know the ROI on this approach to supporting creative things.

As always, watch the elected conservatives who launder this banner and absorb it into their policy choices. The CPC is already on its way, there

Sam went for his follow-up today! FYI his kidneys are working - he peed all over me in the waiting room! Got some more cat pedialyte and some probiotics.

It’s very weird seeing Zoe Boyd on Boston! She does seem like she’ll fit in well there. #PWHL

Carla’s face is my face right now. #pwhl

I think about Contrapoints noting how some leftists don’t want power, they want to critique power on an almost daily basis

Two fans walked by with signs saying "Hey Sutcliffe, size matters." You can imagine the response it drew from the crowd.

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…
