I was literally having this exact conversation at dinner tonight. As horrific as he is, I did not anticipate the day when I would state that the POTUS is more likely to actually use nukes than the guy running N Korea.

When industry has concluded that there isn't an economic case for a project... And so taxpayers fund it. And why? If the goal was to scoop up Alberta votes, forget it.

Canada’s Indigenous health obligations can’t be separated from rights and reconciliation
Commitments to Indigenous health research cannot be clawed back as part of proposed dismantling of equity, diversity and inclusion criteria for federal research funding.

We are dealing with this in Canada. The provinces and the feds seem have forgotten that they had delegated the responsibility for funding higher ed to int'l recruiters, treated students like ATMs, and then pulled back on student visas. They have not proposed any plan to replace the $.

Call me sceptical, but a man who wore clown shoes to keep his idiot boss happy is unlikely to protect the interests of the people of Venezuela while his stealing, grifting boss is bragging to the world that he has the right to loot that nation.

He cannot resist putting his dickishness right out there for everyone to see. Has the energy of the schoolyard bully's backup crew, cheering on the violent asshole. Sadly for him, this strategy will likely be insufficient to elevate him to chief bully.

He is so, so, jealous, and therefore resentful. I doubt that he has much self awareness, but if he does he might be aware that while JFK has an eternal flame memorial, his own symbolic memorial could be a urinal.

I'd be pretty surprised that it all worked the way it did. But also a little impressed. 20 yo me would be pretty shocked at the profane swearing, but she has no fucking idea what nonsense I am forced to endure.

It is gruesome. I propose ads with Kash Patel's photo that say: "The GOP is for ewe!" Also not meaning to make light, I have many trans family and friends and I am heartbroken that hate is being weaponized against them.

Booker eviscerates Patel: "He's like an 18 year old kid who wants to join a fraternity that he could never be a member of, doing keg stands and chugging with friends. He's an embarrassment. He is a disgrace. This is a mockery and a sham. What's bad are the people enabling him."

It would make some of them apoplectic. Keep in mind though, if making them sad is the goal, that my experience whilst living in the UK was that nothing makes a British person happier than being absolutely outraged by something.

No shade *at all* to the agencies we work with, but the non-profit social services sector here relies on a lot of unpaid practicum placements it's a huge ask for students, who are not paid for these placements.

Coming at you from experience in child welfare... Very few situations where the pot was a significant issue in terms of child safety, and lots of families where I REALLY, REALLY wished they would switch from booze to pot. Just no comparison in terms of violence and abuse.

The banks aren't cancelling contracts, but might not offer a renewal. Then the homeowner would be looking for a different lender and if their credit, employment situation etc isn't great, they will have a higher rate etc.

AmericanCanuck @americoncanuck.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
Your rate would generally only adjust if you have a variable mortgage, and banks will usually offer a new mortgage as long as the account is in good standing, but yep, every five years... Which sucks if rates have gone up...

Forgot to change out of house slippers on the way out the door to the airport. Croc of Shame.

Max Rose just laid out the next 90 days in three sentences: Oppose the war in Iran. Expose Trump's failures on affordability. And hold this administration accountable for their horrific corruption. That's the mission. Nothing else.

Ronald Reagan ignored the AIDS crisis—and his “dear friend” from Hollywood, Rock Hudson, who asked for help. Dr. Fauci jumped in and helped. Guess which guy the homophobic ghouls in the Republican Party revere today.
