Waterloo, hear me out. Personally, I think Bardish Chagger is a waste of space and a seat filler. I’d love for us to have an NDP or a Green MP. Kitchener is such a toss-up, can’t we get Mike Morris to run in our riding?

You can't see the sky in southern Ontario right now because of Canada's ever expanding forest fires, so it's great that we're doing our part to fight climate change by building state financed oil pipelines while our premier advocates for another one even Alberta didn't have a clue about

No, I am NOT agreeing with anything Tucker Carlson or Marjory Taylor Green or anyone else MAGA or formerly MAGA is saying. They have just FINALLY caught up with what many of us have been saying for YEARS, and for once, on a few specific things, for now, they happen to agree with US.

Dear @mark-carney.bsky.social , other world leaders, and @un.org : when do you all plan on gathering some backbone and moral clarity, and call out the USA for now being a rogue state and a state sponsor of terrorism? Or are we just going to pretend this and what happened in Venezuela is normal?

How a general strike could work if we werent divided: 1. Those who can strike, do. (Ex. All unions) 2. Those who can protest hit the streets and stay there using rotating shifts. (Ex. Retired, jobless, strikers, after work, etc.) 3. Those who must work, provide mutual aid to strikers and protestors.

Carney’s deal with Danielle Smith is the sellout of the century: scrapping climate legislation for a pipeline that will never be built. We need powerlines, not pipelines. Our path is through climate leadership & building good jobs in the clean economy.

Genuinely feels like there's been a coup within the Liberal party thanks to Carney and his bros. Not to say Trudeau's Liberals were much better (they bought a pipeline!) but Carney is a full-blown red tory and I'm shocked more Liberals aren't outraged their party has been usurped like this.

I feel a lot of pundits and social media warriors are so intent on finding proof of pedophiles on the other side of the fense, that they miss the bigger picture. This transcends left vs right. From what I’ve seen so far, there are three big issues here, and they are both separate and interrelated.
