It is Indigenous History Month. Throughout this month, I will be sharing the stories from Canada's Indigenous history. Today it is Jean Cuthand Goodwill, a nurse who spent her life advocating for Indigenous healthcare.

If you have sometime this weekend, watch my latest explainer on what the Supreme Court is doing to democracy and voting rights and what to watch for this month as the biggest, most important opinions get released. Then share it with a friend. youtu.be/Ym6UDFfazMs?...

"The irony is thick this morning!" Another #tariff by the Twatwaffle #TreacherousTrump against #Canadian goods made with "forced labor." 😆🤣🤬🤣😆 "Canada is a country that keeps score on itself!" 🇨🇦💪🏻🇨🇦💪🏻🇨🇦 @todmaffin.com #ElbowsUp #WeTheNorth #RelentlessDecency youtube.com/shorts/4eg4B...

The phrase is political shorthand, a deadline convenience borrowed and weaponized by a man more interested in stoking fear than offering solutions. #Canada #FactsMatter Why top economists are rejecting the ‘recession’ narrative /1 thread www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

California just held an election w/paper ballots, signature verification, audits, bipartisan oversight & public vote counting procedures. You don’t get to yell “fraud” every time voters make a choice you don’t like. Take the whiny little b*tch act somewhere else. We’re not buying it in this state!

Pssst: We bumped the video upload limit from 100MB to 300MB to make posting bigger videos easier.

I think the time came long ago for us to ask the question, does X enhance society or does it divide and wreck it? The answer is obvious. It is not authoritarian to say it needs shutting down. It's obvious that it does. Devoid of morals. Devoid of responsibility. Just like its owner.

BEAUTIFUL: Protests are escalating against Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump’s $1.4 billion real estate development in Albania that’s encroaching on protected land and endangering wildlife. The people are fighting back! Share everywhere so this doesn’t get buried! substack.com/@rawstory/no...

Checked it out and it's real - from the official account of U.S. Ambassador to Canada. We should expel him imo.

@smerconish.bsky.social Re: today's poll question, "Should politics determine whether artists perform at the Great American State Fair?" IMHO, the answer is a resounding 'yes', simply because the President revels in politicizing everything in an attempt to gaslight everyone. Reap what you sow. 🍁🍁🍁

My homeland is leading the world right now.

The FBI has sent agents to Milwaukee to interview former election officials about the 2020 presidential election. trib.al/PVfEAD7 It seems that the president wants to rig elections in his favor.

Here’s the deal for those confused: “America 250” is the bipartisan celebration committee. “Freedom 250” is a Trump organization celebrating him masquerading as a celebration of America. The concert was Freedom 250. Hence the cancellations

The “Save America Act” says that all states “shall” submit their voter registration lists to the DHS’s “SAVE” voter purge program, which has error rates as high as 14% & relies on data from SSA whose databases were mishandled by DOGE. I include this & other parts of the Act in my 8-point summary. 1/

Get this outta my neighborhood.. Not even legally parked and Cambridge streets don't have room for this shit

Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson, and now Megyn Kelly. It's amazing how fast the rats jump off the Trump ship when it starts to sink.

#Canada welcomes Germany

Free healthcare. Beautiful mountains. Maple syrup. Hockey. Polite people. And enough snow to question your life choices every winter. 😂🍁 Being Canadian is a mix of pride, kindness, survival, and apologizing at least 17 times a day. Still wouldn’t trade it for anything. ❤️🇨🇦 Separatists 🖕

The tech bros gave us crypto currency that isn’t currency, artificial intelligence that isn’t intelligence, and prediction markets that are inside-trader scams. On the other hand, they have given us gigantic data centers that employ no one and destroy communities. So there’s that.

The GOP Platform: Protect the fetus; starve the child. Honor the soldier; abandon the veteran. Enrich the corporation; fleece the worker. Quote the Bible; ignore the verses.

"The premier in the same breath that she talks about the need to get this issue resolved is herself the sponsor of it. She acts as though she's just a cork in a raging river of democracy. She's steering the ship and she's steering it toward the shoals of separatism." #cdnpoli

Yeh, all that's left to give it a simple fuck you...

Things you won't see on Fox Republican TV...

Trump has merely managed to negotiate his way back to the point when the original ceasefire was announced, before it upended by his decision on April 13 to impose a US blockade of Iran’s ports, leading Iran to reimpose its own de facto blockade. All this because of Obama's signature, and Netanyahu.🍁

Government wasn't supposed to work like a casino rewards card. Spend enough loyalty points, and apparently, accountability becomes optional. open.substack.com/pub/theunred...

There are many other countries in the Persian Gulf that need access to the Strait of Hormuz. The Strait should be considered international waters, allowing ships to come and go without hindrance. At the very least, the UAE, on the other shore of the Strait has just as much a claim to it as Iran.

How unsurprising... Alberta separatists are either useful idiots or agents of a foreign power. pressprogress.ca/alberta-sepa...

This is creepy

I don’t want to have referendums. I don’t want to answer stupid questions at the the polls. We shouldn’t have to. This. Should. Not. Be. A. Thing. I’m tired of the stupid. It’s a waste. It’s frustrating and I’m sick of the shit. Let’s just get this fuckery over with. Alberta isn’t going anywhere.

Seriously, ALL of GOP Reps who’ve lost their primaries need to vote with the Dems and kick Johnson the FUCK OUT of the Speakership immediately

When the shoe fits……..

Are the GOP in Congress going to say they don’t like the fund but there is no remedy for stopping it? Bullshit. The remedy is impeachment.

So, it would be prudent for investors, including the federal government to refrain from making commitments to invest in Alberta until the results of this vote. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

NEW: Months before the $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund was announced, Ed Martin predicted Capitol rioters would get millions, even if it took until 2028, two people told NBC News.

Good for CBC. Now ban Kars4Kids in Canada and investigate them for fraud!
