this wave of canadian nationalism is so nauseating. there's no justification for supporting a settler colonial nation regardless of its relationship with the u.s. empire.

I wonder how the writers who sided with the Giller Prize and that sweet, sweet blood money over their colleagues last year are feeling right now. This is welcome news, but I'm gonna remember those writers going forward.

Now would be a great time for the left in Canada to have a serious, coherent agenda that seeks a structural transformation of material life in service of workers, rather than, you know, keyboard warrior emoji shit and first-year undergrad epithets.

ICE picking up every non-white person they can and putting them in detention centres is connected to all the tariffs. America is going to need to manufacture everything themselves, and those people will be used as slave labour. America is just getting ready to ramp up doing slavery.

A bunch of losers went out and threw Nazi salutes in Alberta, Canada yesterday while holding racist signs. Might be time for the media to stop calling them “hand gestures” and start reporting on this big fucking problem for what it is!

In the same position on the side of the road, holding three separate items. The first has a sign that reads “deport them all,” the second has a red ensign flag (which has been adopted in canada by white supremacists as a symbol for a white canada), and the third is holding a glad with a Celtic cross (another adopted hate symbol used by white supremacists)One man is seen throwing a Nazi salute at the side of the road while holding a sign that reads “import third world become third world”

Fellow Canadians, I think now would be a good time for all of us to start learning about the French resistance and partisans during WWII. Feels like that'd be some good knowledge to have right now.

Peak liberalism is watching the US take off its mask so the fascism is looking all of us right in the eyes, and thinking a social media post calling Trump stupid is somehow a show of resistance.

America is doing Nazi salutes at their presidential inauguration and talking about how they are going to invade, and our leaders are arguing about who's gonna be tougher at the negotiating table. What the fuck are we doing?!

One of these translations is the best, and one of them is the worst. Two of them are just fine. That's my contribution to the Odyssey translation discourse.

Can’t get past the NYPD and Eric Adams putting on a ridiculous show of force to transport Luigi Mangione and make the ruling class feel better. And across town they’re using force to attack a strike and make the ruling class feel better. Rarely is the purpose of cops so obvious.

Honestly though, how does Trudeau and the Liberal government keep going at this point? Cabinet resignations, caucus revolt, and people want an election. The only reason we haven't gone to the polls is because the NDP are spineless twerps who'll probably lose seats too.

As Canada Post workers remain on the picket line, a key point of contention in their demands is their job's growing physical and mental toll—exacerbated by climate change.

I think Bob Dylan is the greatest songwriter of all time. I also think Timothee Chalamet is one of the greatest actors of our generation. And I don't know if I've ever been more excited for a biopic than A Complete Unknown. I want this known before everyone's favourite song is Like A Rolling Stone

The cool thing about being in canada as we spiral into WWIII is we aren't very important geopolitically (even though we like to pretend we are) but we are still allied to the point of humiliation to the side that is definitely going to lose and our lives will all get worse because of that.

My Spotify wrapped makes no sense. Like mathematically impossible. There are songs in my top 50 that I've never listened to, but also artists in my top 5 that don't have a single song in my top 50. It feels totally random.

Donald Trump is joking about turning Canada into a US state, while Canadian premiers run around like fools offering him the world before he even asks and opposition leaders sacrifice our interests for short-term political advantage. The state of this country is truly embarrassing.

[taps sign]
Screenshot of tweet from Party for Socialism and Liberation that reads “Don’t be fooled: the “rebels” in Syria who the media is cheering on as freedom fighters are literally the al-Qaeda franchise in Syria. Their agenda is to massacre religious minorities, eliminate all rights for women, and abandon the Palestinian cause. 

Undoubtedly backed by US and Israeli intelligence, and Turkish-funded groups, they timed their attack to coincide with the ceasefire in Lebanon and the Israeli bombing of Syrian border crossings. Their victory would be a victory for US empire.”
