An old Michel Rivard song has been on my mind lately. It speaks of the Québécois experience in North America. But I think we can all relate now. "C'est pas toujours facile d'être seule au milieu D'un continent immense où ils règlent le jeu, Où ils mènent la danse, où ils sont si nombreux" #cdnpoli

I'd throw a punch to fight for Canada's sovereignty while reserving and exercising my right to criticize this country. That's a fine form of patriotism.

Canada has a third of the world's freshwater, untold reserves of oil and natural gas, and millions of acres of uninhabited land that's increasingly liveable and farmable as the planet warms. Nobody should take threats on our sovereignty lightly.

A white sign with a red outline at Rainbow Riders Therapeutic Riding Centre reads: No smoking. No dogs. Definitely no smoking dogs. And please (all caps) DO NOT FEED THE HORSES.

Climate activists are asking what the Conservatives' plan is to fight climate change. Poilievre's party seems in no hurry to provide a comprehensive answer.

a golden retriever sits smiling in the front passenger seat of a car. the window is rolled down just a couple of inches. blue skies with puffy clouds and some happy little trees are in the background. it’s a totally normal photo of a golden in a car, minus the fact that the tongue sticking out of her mouth is bright blue.you’re peering down into a styrofoam cup that was in a car’s cupholder. it is mostly empty but has some blue slushie way down at the bottom with a mysteriously tongue-shaped hole carved through the ice in one spot. the back of a golden retriever’s head is visible in the upper right corner of the photo. the dog may or may not be avoiding eye contact.

one of the reasons bluesky works differently is because early users waged a successful fight to get the devs to prioritize safety features to protect communities at risk as a result bluesky now has a suite of controls that i think are unmatched on social media here’s the list, lmk what i’ve missed
A Probably Incomplete List of Bluesky User Safety Mechanisms

Protecting your posts
• disabling replies on your posts
• limiting replies on your posts to people you follow, mention, or include in specific lists
• disabling quote posting on your posts
• detaching your post from someone else's quote
• changing the above interaction settings even after a post is sent hiding replies to your posts for yourself or for everyone
• self-labeling your media for adult or graphic content to protect other users
• limiting account visibility only to logged in users
• note: this is not 100% enforceable but all major bluesky clients and apps support it

Limiting your interaction
• blocking users from seeing or interacting with your posts
• if you block after an interaction, they vaporize
• if they've replied already, the entire thread below their reply is cauterized for everyone, floating in space detached from your post
• note: your blocks are publicly visible via 3rd party apps
• muting users to remove them from your notis and feeds, and hide them in replies
• note: your mutes are private
• muting or blocking entire moderation lists of users
• note: inclusion in a list is public via third party apps. muting a list is private, blocks via a list are public
• subscribing to other people's mod lists
• note: your subscription is private, muting & blocking work the same
• subscribing to labelers (moderation services) from bluesky or third parties
o decide whether to show, warn, or hide posts that have been labeled in each category
• report content that should be labeled to bluesky and/or third parties labelers

There’s a Norwegian version of the idiom “like a fish out of water” that translates to “like a Dane on skis.” And an old Norwegian phrase for someone sneaking out of a party without saying goodbye is “making a Swede of oneself.” Conversely, a Finnish euphemism for vomiting is “speaking Norwegian”
