Complicit rationalizer logic: Trump is gutting science, trashing the environment, enriching techbros, making deals with human rights abusers, and scapegoating immigrants because Trump is bad. Carney, by contrast, is doing all those things because Trump is bad.

Canada's true crisis is the everyday emergency of just trying to get by in an impossible economy. I’m running for NDP leader so we can transform a system rigged for the rich—together. We need a government that serves the many, not the money. Join in. lewisforleader.ca/ youtu.be/IVy99oiYszY

I’m teaching my granddaughters (5 & 8) paper piecing. I cut, they sew. When we finished the sections, they got time on their tablets while I had a stiff gin and bitter lemon. We finished them in one day, (not recommended) and only broke one sewing machine! #uplift #fabricart, #quilting

Finished butterfly in purple, orange, blue and dark pink.

Finished butterfly in light purple, green and violet print, and two shades of blue.

@liberalca.bsky.social Canadians voted Mr. Mark Carney as our New Prime Minister to keep Pierre P out of power. Millions of us feel he is a threat to our country. It is imperative should he gain a seat that a bill be passed that ALL MP's have Top Secret Clearance. It has to be mandatory.

@jandersoncoats.bsky.social @simonkids.bsky.social THE UNEXPECTED LIVES OF ORDINARY GIRLS (9/23/25) is a great adventure book that involves living briefly in a library. Really enjoyed this one and think fans of Albus' A Place to Hang the Moon will, too!

I love how journos challenge Carney on money matters like he isn't one of the most accomplished people in this field. It's borderline comical that they try to correct him, I mean I get it, but it's like telling Celine Dion how to sing. #cdnpoli

Before Xmas, my granddaughter designed a dress for me to make for her. Last visit, she picked out the fabric I should use. It's finished just in time for her 5th birthday next week. #textileart, #fabricart, #uplift #bskyart #dressdesign

This girls dress has a pink bodice with a blue panel. The skirt has a panel of blue between two strips of pink. The rest of the skirt is a dark blue with multi coloured print. Their are seven medallions fussy cut from the dark blue fabric, hand stitched on the centre of the blue panel.

back of girls dress. Pink bodice had 3 polka dotted buttons. Skirt is dark blue with multicoloured pattern.

Dress designed by four year old. It has a gathered skirt with yellow and purple panels. Bodice is green with purple panel and red medallions. It looks like it's drop waisted, but my granddaughter told me that it's supposed to be regular a regular waist.

Canadians! 🇨🇦 Book industry needs your help (incl. for 🇨🇦 book creators like me, whose books are published and/or warehoused in U.S.). Dept of Finance seeks feedback before April 2nd, 2025 re: tariffs, including tariffs on BOOKS coming into Canada from US: slowburnbooks.ca/april-2-tariff #CanLit

Text warning about an April 2 tariff: With this April 2 tariff, Canadian booksellers and publishers will face unsustainable new costs and customers will be faced with book prices beyond what they are willing to pay. Most books will be subject to the new tariff because they are warehoused in the US by publishers and distributors. Books have both US and CAD prices printed on the cover, making it difficult to increase prices to cover the tariff. Alternatively, charging the CAD cover-price and absorbing the 25% tariff (even short term) will bury many independents because the industry survives on an already small margin of profit. The tariff is detrimental to Canadian booksellers and publishers and will result in long-term negative effects to our literary community.

Reminder that tariffs can be managed if we oriented our economy to helping Canadians rather than allowing people to make stupid amounts of money. The dirty secret though is that it's always about protecting profits at the expense of individuals. noraloreto.substack.com/p/ok-but-wha...

The corporate coup is global. Trump's mad tariffs do not mark the end of neoliberalism or free trade or whatever you want to call it. They mark the end game of what we have been fighting for decades: corporate rule. They do not believe in the public. They believe in their wealth.
