In Canada, the wealthy can use lawsuits to silence critics and avoid public scrutiny. Most of us can't afford to fight back. That needs to change. I just added my name to demand better protections for everyday Canadians. Will you join me? app.sosha.ai/s/aT0CF5SV

Nearly 70 years since the Sovereign first opened Parliament, we welcomed Their Majesties back to Canada — a nation proud of its roots and with a bold, ambitious plan for its future.

PP's goal of defunding the CBC makes more sense now. Also, all those attacks a few months ago about Singh's pension make sense. I had completely forgotten about this.

When Mike Myers wore his "Canada Is Not For Sale" t-shirt on SNL, he mouthed a secret code: "elbows up." It's a reference to the great Gordie "Mr. Elbows" Howe who punished those that messed with his team. You heard him Canada: elbows up. If anyone asks why, tell them that Mike Myers sent you.

Feb 28 is the national boycott of American companies. Tomorrow I am holding a press conference with Quebec Amazon employees who were fired by Jeff Bezos. He is a toxic oligarch and a pal of Trump. I am calling on all Canadians to support the Amazon workers and boycott this shitty company.

Bruce MacKinnon, the editorial cartoonist at the Halifax Chronicle-Herald, drew this last November. No newspaper would print it. It now deserves an outing.
A cartoon is headed “How tariffs work”. It proceeds to show a cartoon of Trump in his suit and red tie taking a piss towards a fan with a Canadian maple leaf on it. The fan blows Trump’s piss back into his face. 
It was drawn and is signed by Bruce MacKinnon and is dated November 26, 2024

When a liberal area suffers a climate change disaster, Republicans say “God is punishing them.” When a conservative area suffers a climate change disaster, Republicans say “Democrats control weather machines.” Must be hard going through life as a full-blown idiot.

Hi! 👋You seem to be looking at my profile for some reason. How did you get here, I wonder? I'm not a bot, but I don't post or reply much. I'm mostly a passive observer, a "spectator" on social media. If I've reposed something then I've probably found it particularly interesting or useful somehow.

Others have noted it but I will too: The big reason Bluesky is so hot right now is that the people who add value to social media - the frequent posters in specific fields - are here now, talking to each other and creating the "spectator value" that draws users and attention.

What kind of convoluted, pretzel-brain bullshit is this? If the US was invading Mexico, I would fully expect Mexico to use any weapons they had at their disposal. If Russia doesn’t want to be bombed, the simple answer is to get the fuck out of Ukraine.
