Man insisting he doesn’t need to reflect after divorce is usually the reason for the divorce. Just sayin’ #cdnpoli

Timeline cleanse 🍄

I've only just learned about this now, and while it explains so much about what I negotiate each day, I'm feeling deeply sad and somewhat shaken. Apparently we had this misguided curriculum in parts of Canada, too. Perhaps I evaded it due to French immersion and an educator mum. (Article in 🧵)

I have reinstated my bedside programmable coffeemaker as my alarm clock for the winter months. Sadly, Cuisinarthur perished last year, but I've welcomed his successor, Bodum (full name: Beau Dumatin.)

Every time someone’s like “put that in the louvre,” my head now goes “and then steal it from the louvre, the security password is louvre”

Wait… do the writers think that we think that the Daniel Craig bond and the Sean Connery bond are… the exact same person?

UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese has responded to Israel’s UN Ambassador Danny Danon after he called her a “witch”, saying, “If I had the power to make spells... I would use it to stop your crimes once and for all.” 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/ihrv92

But this lawsuit is so much bigger than me or PressProgress This lawsuit could have chilling implications for journalism and democracy in Canada Caylan Ford is also asking the court to protect politicians’ secrets and prevent journalists from reporting on documents leaked by whistleblowers

I spent most of the afternoon trying to find a winter home for my wheelbarrow, and you'll be pleased to know we were able to find something acceptable on site. They aren't going to be a snowbird or anything.

#Ukraine’s vast #rewilding projects are healing war-damaged lands and aiding #veterans’ recovery. Restored wetlands and steppes offer refuge for wildlife and therapy for soldiers, linking ecological and human renewal. https://www.rfr.bz/b37ae07 #war #rewilding#veterans#war#rewildingukraine

10% of Meta's 2024 ad revenue came from outright frauds and scams; the platform shows consumers 15 billion ads for fraud and scams every single day. This doesn't even include agitprop and AI slop. the existential collapse of this monumental pile of shit company simply can't come quickly enough

Rogers has now sent two canvassers to my door to try to get me to switch back to their internet services, away from a third-party that uses their infrastructure. Neither salesperson understood why proudly telling me they throttle the third parties' speeds isn't actually a selling point for them.

Hoekstra was also one of the most egregious purveyors of the "Iraq has weapons of mass destruction" lie. There's a reason Trump confirmed him as US Ambassador to Canada while he was trying to build his fake fentanyl narrative.

Re the Mamdani “auntie” stuff. Even the WASP side of my family has non relative aunts & uncles. I truly hope he destroys the old guard. Smash it.

Bought some bagel thins that were really thin. Like 10-atoms thick. I think I did. I may have eaten them or they may have simply passed through my hand & into the earth. I got the “everything” ones.

Gonna start doing more things with great aplomb.

We have more to decouple than our economies.

For perhaps obvious reasons, I've been thinking about how the creation of the 1989 Canada-US free trade agreement erased my grandparents' jobs.

"Both Ontario Works and the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) is far too low—especially considering how difficult ODSP is to obtain ... increasing the rates would help prevent people from falling into homelessness." I don't even apply for ODSP since it pays less than my housing costs alone.

Story doesn’t dwell on this, but worth noticing that the delivery rider in the lede is hoping to make $100 over twelve hours’ work. That’s less than half of minimum wage www.thestar.com/news/gta/how...

I just called to say I love book stores.

I promise to stop being so hyperbolic and unfair comparing Poilievre to Trump when he stops sounding exactly like him. #cdnpoli

No Kings Day Ottawa. #cdnpoli

While Conservatives praise Sir John A as our nations builder. Today’s anniversary of Pierre Trudeau’s birthday. As minister of justice,Trudeau won passage of three social welfare measures,stricter gun-control & reform laws regarding abortion & homosexuality plus constitutional reform. #cdnpoli

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

if i wake up in pain i wasn't in when i went to sleep, i just assume i fought the monster under the bed. clearly i won, because it's gone

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

Yes yes yes

Poilievre is getting increasingly deranged. I haven't always likes comparisons between the CPC and MAGA, but their explicitly-stated desires in the past year to politicize judicial appointments and the national police force should deeply disturb us all.

Canada's sovereignty is being threatened by the U.S. And yet, both the U.S. Department of War and Department of Energy are investing in Canadian mining companies. @amandafollett.bsky.social reports: thetyee.ca/News/2025/10...

There's a little library that straddles the US-Canadian border: the "Haskell Free Library and Opera House". Since 1904, it's been free to use for people in Stanstead, Quebec & Derby Line, Vermont, with just a black tape line to indicate the international border. (📷: Don Emmert, AFP, 2017)

*drops something sharp* Brain: catch it with your foot

Several species of birds from different continents use and understand similar alarm calls when they see an invader that might lay an egg in their nest – this shared call hints at the origin of language

"Listen kid", I growl to the young upstart in the office lunchroom, "I don't need any of your 'life hacks' - I've been eating hard boiled eggs since before you were born."

There are many thoughtful, sharp, and even vindicating replies in the ensuing comments.
