This is Canada 🇨🇦 youtu.be/uW4kgr8We_0?...

🔥 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.

On #RememberanceDay in Canada we say #LestWeForget because forgetting means we fail to honour those who gave their lives defending freedom from fascists and nazis. And all those who still defend us today. It’s also because if we forget, we’re doomed to repeat. That’s more relevant now than ever.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes. The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last. The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes. Why? It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

PM Carney: "There you go—first boast of the evening... I'm just warming up for my American level of boasting." ❤️🍁🇨🇦TEAM CANADA FOREVER🇨🇦🍁❤️ ❤️🍁🇨🇦VIVE LE CANADA 🇨🇦🍁❤️

I still don’t know why Trump is so mad about that Ontario tariff ad. It’s not as if Ontario ran an ad depicting the province dumping a load of faeces on an American crowd. Now, that would’ve been truly disgusting.

I’m in standing room at @torontobluejays.bsky.social , behind accessible seating, where a kid/teen in a wheelchair is distraught because he can’t see anything with everyone standing up. If anyone happens to be in a box or something with extra seats, this is your chance to do a good deed.

Eight residents of the tiny tourist town of Medora, North Dakota, decided to hold their own No Kings rally outside Theodore Roosevelt National Park rather than drive to a neighboring city. “We’re all so sad that our national parks are closed,” said Sandy Baertsch. (Photo courtesy of S. Lambert)

Mark Carney seemed to REALLY enjoy himself at the Kitchener Oktoberfest this afternoon, saying he was Vladdy Guerrero Jr. before he tapped the keg, then turning to the cameras for a quick chug of beer #cdnpoli

On the eve of the “No Kings” protests, a reflection on the one King who does nothing. And the 20 American kings who own everything.

After Trump's gong show at the UN it was good to see PM Carney invoking Leonard Cohen. "In every moment where there's a crack, where there's a rupture, there is possibility — and it's our responsibility, it's our opportunity as Canada in this moment to find it." www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8-B...

Canada’s military took on southern Kandahar province, which every single American I met in Afghanistan admitted was the toughest patch there was. One hundred and sixty-six Canadians died fighting a war provoked by an attack on U.S. soil, including my colleague Michelle Lang

Misinformation feeds on outrage. CBC feeds on facts. Public broadcasting helps us resist the algorithm trap—where bias, bots, and rage-bait drown out the truth. Keep facts in focus. Keep the CBC alive. #SaveTheCBC #MediaLiteracy #CBCForever #PublicBroadcasting #CdnPoli #FactCheck

BILLY REALLY NEEDS YOUR HELP AND YOUR RT: Please help us find Billy his forever home. He’s a gentle, loving soul who’s already survived being thrown from a truck in Bakersfield and left behind. Thankfully, he was rescued, but now he’s in danger again.

This is an undersung topic. Most have no idea how important it is (and will become) to our daily lives. Regime-aligned figures are starting their own "science journals." @walkerbragman.bsky.social has tracked 3, run by: -RFK's pals -Bhattacharya -an RFK-linked group of ivermectin doctors 🧵 1/4

Love the lil flex when they realise they just became the most famous bird in the world.

We go now live, to inside Mark Carney's head...

The joy and pure delight this brings me is much needed. What a treasure she is! This is the USA that this Canadian loves

We need to tighten our borders against this menace
