Fox News has lost 43% of its viewers since last year and it appears that every month viewership is continuing to drop. Things like this give me hope!

The U.S. administration keeps doing Canada’s negotiating team a favour: every time one of them opens their mouth, they prove exactly why Canada walked away. At some point, the rhetoric stops being negotiation and starts confirming that signing a deal with these people would have been reckless.

American credibility has been toast for years now. The whole world has known that. The American population should have woken up two years ago and done something about it. They can't just blame the MAGAts.

I love that Canadian’s idea of a good time on a Friday night is staying up and cheering “FUCK YEAH” with great resolve because our country just walked away from a bad trade deal with the one shitty guy on earth who thinks he’s god’s gift to negotiation. Eat a bag of dicks, donald. #PoliteButNasty

That’s certainly one way to alienate your Canadian customers. Their CEO hasn’t seen how Canadians rallied to boycott US products and services over perceived attacks on Canada? Time to give him a taste of that medicine🤦🏽‍♂️ 🔗 mobilesyrup.com/2026/07/28/b... ‼️BOYCOTT SHOPIFY‼️

I have 6 cats, all of them rescues that I found in my neighbourhood. I have one with a thyroid condition so it’s now costing so much with blood work and medication that I can’t afford to bring the others in for shots. Not to mention increase in cat food costs. I won’t rescue anymore due to costs.

Mayor Mamdani is expanding pet-friendly housing in New York, arguing families should not have to surrender beloved animals because of rental restrictions. In a housing crisis, keeping people and pets together is crucial. Pets are family too.

This makes me sad. As an English language instructor, I have always encouraged my students not to try to erase their accents, which is extremely difficult, but to embrace it as part of their identity. Listening to various types of English speakers is a skill. Great article.

Tyler Watt 🇨🇦 - #cdnpoli Let’s talk about what’s going on with Ontario colleges & universities. Students shouldn’t be holding their breath every budget. And shifting OSAP from grants to loans will only push more young people deeper into debt. Ontario can lead. Let’s lift up the next generation.

Doug Ford and his party are of the main reasons post-secondary is being gutted in Ontario. Ontario colleges have cut $1.4 billion in costs, suspended more than 600 programs, and eliminated more than 8,000 jobs. Ford doesn’t actually care. 😡
