So the Habs won their first game of the season against the Leafs 3-2. Someone please explain to me why this CBC article was almost entirely about Toronto, with a tiny paragraph about Mtl at the very end. I know hockey culture is all about Toronto, but this is ridiculous www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Yeah it’s not lost on me that it was a man who suggested family meal planning is rote. Research and loved experience shows that women structure their invisible labor to make the labor the men in their lives are willing to do predictable, ergo suitable to routinize.

Absolutely ridiculous and useless as a policy. How is this going to change anything? I was almost tempted to test it at my polling station yesterday, but I decided not to make a potential scene at the last minute. In simpler terms, I chickened out.

So difficult to know how to vote strategically and have it mean something. I voted yesterday, and it wasn’t for either the PQ or the CAQ, the former being too right-wing and separatist, the latter having shown themselves to be incompetent as well as ridiculously bigoted. bsky.app/profile/cult...

Evidence keeps mounting that the Trump regime is attempting to break up Canada by whatever means possible short of military action. It is one thing to impose illegal tariffs, it is another thing entirely to try and split Canada up by striking secret deals with individual provinces.

If you hit a dog, it's animal abuse. If you hit your spouse, it's spousal abuse. If you hit an old person, it's elder abuse. If you hit your child, it's just called parenting. That needs to end Children are not property and have the right not to be beaten.
