On the eve of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Pierre Poilievre spoke out for the group he says faces the most hate-based violence. Um, and apparently that group is…Christians? (It isn’t). I called for backup on this one. Luckily @pampalmater.com answered:

A new Parliamentary Budget Officer report shows Canada needs 3.2 million new homes to close the housing gap, so this week’s #ThrowBackThursday revisits a question from Elizabeth May: when will the government step up instead of leaving it to private developers?

The Conservatives have driven anti-vaxx hysteria. Pierre Poilievre has pushed legislation against mandatory vaccinations. No wonder measles is out of control in MAGA-MAPLE Alberta. So now the Conservative gaslighting machine is saying blame Trudeau. Kids lives are on the line.

In 2005, Canada became the fourth country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage. The process to get the landmark Act passed included calls for boycotts of Famous Players, lots of debates and speeches. This is the story. 🧵 1/14
This photo captures a celebratory moment during what appears to be a pride parade. Two individuals are prominently featured, both smiling and waving. They are holding a sign that reads "THANK YOU! CANADA! JUST MARRIED!" with small flags of Canada and the United States attached to it. One of them is also holding a rainbow flag, symbolizing pride and support for the LGBTQ+ community. The background shows a cityscape with tall buildings and a crowd of people, indicating a public event.

Underneath the waters of the Bedford Basin, you will find a lot of things. Historical artifacts, shopping carts, bicycles and at about 26 to 32 Volvos. Why are there so many Volvos sitting at the bottom of Halifax Harbour? I'm going to tell you :) 🧵1/8
The photo shows an aerial view of a large body of water, likely a bay or harbor, surrounded by urban and suburban areas. A bridge spans the narrow entrance at the top, connecting two densely built-up regions. The shoreline is a mix of green, forested areas and developed neighborhoods with roads and buildings. Small boats dot the water, and the horizon stretches to the open sea.
