Elon Musk keeps threatening Canada's sovereignty, and Canada's leaders....keep posting on his social media platform? Non-MAGA politicians, journalists, business leaders: give your head a shake and stand up for your country. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/10/14/o...

Quitting X is the easy bit, but Canada's leaders can't even do that
For many of the country's most high-profile individuals, Elon Musk's social platform is a test. They're currently failing it.

Educational Assistants who are only working at this one job are most often married to someone with a larger income. No job should ever require that you “marry rich”, or even that you have a partner at all. And yet this is the reality for many woman-dominated professions.

It’s been two years since Ontario Place West Island was destroyed for a planned private spa. Hundreds of trees were cut down - here’s a snapshot of the many species who lost habitat. 🧵
Side-by-side comparison of a landscape on the Toronto waterfront. In one scene, an island is covered in trees reflected in a still channel of water. The other image of the same place shows a barren stretch land with a pile of rubble in the centre.

My school has ~400 students, 85% of whom speak a language other than English at home. Six years ago, my school was allocated 3 ELL teachers. Students in Gr. 2-8 received 40-150 minutes of language support a day, depending on their needs. This year, my school was allocated half a teacher. #OntEd

Why on earth have we been meddling with clock times? A Canadian invented standard time and time zones so the local peak height of the sun would happen at 12 noon. This idiocy is still going on today. If you don't like school hours ending near dusk, then change school hours, not clocks!

I would have a more positive view of our future with AI if it wasn't for the fact that it's largely controlled by US mega billionaires/oligarchs interested in rapid market dominance vs safety, a threatening far right America, and a totalitarian regime in Asia. It's critical that Canada regulates.

Doug Ford doesn’t know about or care about what works or doesn’t work in city-building. He’s fine with hurting the city (and by extension the provincial economy), killing people, wasting public money, and making congestion worse. It’s about ego, ideology & red meat wedge issues for suburban voters.

I have no idea why the lead story on our public national news website (CBC) is about an American trial of an American defendant that has nothing to do with Canada. The first step to building an independent Canadian media is to stop acting like American media.
