Does anyone know why the fuck Stockwell Day has triple parentheses around his name? I know it's generally used as an anti-Semitic indicator that somebody is jewish, but he's not jewish (went to Bible college and worked as an asst. pastor) , and why is he using it on himself?

I've been saying for years that no politician will ever win on a platform of actually making housing affordable, and this is why

Apparently he had a crown tattoo from a celebration of the three wise men, and ICE of course thinks it a gang tattoo www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Yukon’s melting snow brings risk to site of last year’s mine disaster

Listened to @canadaland.com yesterday, and then watched the English leaders debate tonight. I CANNOT unsee the 'millhouse without glasses' thing, now. #leadersdebate

They really did use their minority to push policy that is good for Canadians. This is what the parliamentary system is supposed to do

Interesting... I'm usually a green or NDP voter but I'm liking Carney for this moment... deanblundell.substack.com/p/carneys-ch...

electrek.co/2025/04/09/t... "Tesla’s director of sales and service for Canada, says that Tesla’s filings were normal and that Transport Canada, the government office responsible for administering the incentive program, should know better." I call Bullshit..

FYI, China is currently dunking on the U.S. SO hard and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Peep how everyone’s fat and depressed..

🔊

Not just due to tariffs. Tesla tried to defraud the incentive program. driving.ca/auto-news/in...

Listening to better offline by @edzitron.com The show was good, but the BC securities commission advertised on the podcast, and I had to go to the site. literally the best thing I've ever seen 😂 avoidaiscams.investright.org

"I’m not allowed to feel sorry for myself at all, because every single person in here is in a way worse situation than me" Wow www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

Dairy is a complicated issue. The US has agriculture subsidies, where as Canada has supply management. Subsidies are meant to help farmers in tough times, and keep prices low. Supply management is meant to ensure we always have food, and farmers are guaranteed a 'fair' price. 1/2

Canada won’t have access to the F-35 source code—meaning the U.S. controls our jets. This is unacceptable. No foreign power should dictate our defense. Cancel the contract, buy from a trusted ally, and invest in our own aerospace industry. #cdnpoli #F35 #Canada

Hi Senator. Thanks for joining Bluesky. Can you use this space to explain why you're pushing a bill to remove Section 230, which would make it close to impossible for Bluesky to exist? www.techdirt.com/2025/02/21/w...

#buycanadian is more important than ever. What businesses in our communities are Canadian owned and operated, and provide our neighbourhoods with the goods and services we need? Name your favorites! I'll start 1/2

While we're talking about #buycanadian, don't forget about your small local producers. Congratulations to Crannog Ales for 25 yrs! Your beer is fantastic, your ethics are inspiring, your commitment to community has built something that will move us all forward. www.crannogales.com

Just days after Elon Musk did his "hand gesture," as the media liked to call it, racists took to the streets of Canada calling for mass deportations. Some of them did the same Nazi salute. Let's talk about this rising problem -- one that's very real in Canada, too:

Thank-you @madeinca.bsky.social for the labeling clarification.

By leaving insecure tracking devices on the open internet, “police have not only breached public trust but created a bounty of location data for everyone who drives by which can be abused by stalkers & other criminals,” EFF’s @cooperq.com told @wired.com.

pierre poilievre and the Canadian conservatives need to shut the hell up about defending the CBC. 0.15% In most of the country, it's the most useful news provider. I don't want to live in a country where news comes from the local Facebook rant & rave page

ACAB includes the elf on the shelf

Ouch. Yeah, tho

Merry Christmas to all

Christmas Eve is the one day Margaret gets to come to work! It's slow, we only do a half day, so it's a nice change of pace. She's wondering if she can get forklift certified....

Canadians are the biggest bullshitters. Who knew?

The coverage has been so poor I didn't know that the union wanted to have rotating strikes until a friend told me yesterday. My sympathies have been with the postal workers AND with the small business owners who depend on Canada Post to deliver their goods. Talk about torn. The only winner is Bezos.

As of February 2022, approximately 279 U.S. residents had died of COVID per 100,000 people, compared to about 94 in Canada. We didn't flub it. That said, a COVID inquiry could be a positive thing.

After a week at my parents, I'm finally heading home to #teamcuddlepuddle

It’s so damn riveting. Listening to the audio book now. And I put it on a list in my bookshop fwiw. 🥂

FUCK!

I'm surrounded by people who think there are simple answers. There aren't any simple answers. Big problems can be complex, multifaceted, and ethically difficult. Beware the politicians and their 'common sense' solutions

Me: Don't be a dick, be kind to others, you don't know what they're going through, it's not that hard. Also me: You know your car has indicators you fuckhead?

for my next newsletter and episode i bought the bestselling laptop on Amazon to try and explain how shitty most people's exposure to tech is. Currently at 30 minutes of menus and updates. I have agreed to three privacy policies and created two new accounts. We live in hell

New to Bluesky? Or like me and been here for a while but still don’t really know what you can do in this place? “Here’s some cool stuff you can do with Bluesky. The social network has some unique and fun features to try.” Via @theverge.com www.theverge.com/24295933/blu...

Great year for the worst people you know.

Consider who supported them. And then read this. "(Trudeau) needs to be tried for treason," Olienick said. "If he's proven guilty, like we know he is, hang him – and get back to how it should be." RCMP videos show how extremist ideology fuelled armed Coutts protesters www.cbc.ca/news/fifthes...

@bilbo.cat Sourdough says 'hi Bilbo', is curious if Bilbo wants to go cause chaos later...

Why is Google giving me alerts allegedly about CRA, coming from a random 'news' site in the middle of India? Is this just AI spam, or a phishing scam?

New to bluesky! I thought I'd say hi with a picture of Margaret (hound) and sourdough (orange cat) enjoying the blanket fort my partner made them.
