29 Conservative Wins Due to Centre/Left Vote Splitting C4C has revealed that 29 Conservative wins were not due to a surge of Conservative support in certain ridings. Instead, they were caused by the Liberals, NDP, and Greens splitting the more progressive vote cooperateforcanada.ca/2025/05/08/m...

May 12th is International #MEAwarenessDay. Half of people with Long COVID develop #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis (ME)... including me. Since the pandemic, millions of new people worldwide have developed #MECFS, a complex, chronic, multisystem and disabling illness with no treatments and no cure. 1/

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

Aaaand there it is.

Happy tariff capitulation day to all who celebrate.

IF YOU HAVEN’T READ IT DO YOURSELF A FAVOR!

Just finished "The Certainty Illusion" by Timothy Caulfield @caulfieldtim.bsky.social I found it informative, entertaining, and timely. A sharp dive into why sorting truth from fiction is harder than ever. Plus advise on how we can fight back against misinformation. Highly recommend!

BREAKING: The Episcopal Church has announced it will end its decades-old partnership with the government to resettle refugees, citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa who have been classified as refugees by the Trump admin. religionnews.com/2025/05/12/e...

New in PN: The new pope is latest sign that the world rejects Trumpism "Neither Pope Leo nor Mark Carney nor anyone else can save the US from what its own voters have done to it. But we all live in the same world, and any pushback against Trump is helpful and hopeful."

Êtes-vous woke?

I think a lot of people might think, If SARS2/COVID were really that dangerous, then the government would do something about it and resolve it ASAP. As a survivor of the original HIV/AIDS crisis, I can tell you that no, unfortunately that isn’t necessarily the case.

"I think it should be controversial to NOT say anything" about Gaza I spoke to YouTube star and children's educator Ms. Rachel about her outspoken support for Palestinian kids in Gaza - and the bad-faith attacks on her in response. Full interview here: zeteo.com/p/exclusive-...

Scientific studies in the last month: COVID damages immune systems for a year or more, causes “silent” heart damage, mild cases cause brain damage, the Long Covid rate may be 30%, etc. The New York Times, the Atlantic, & NPR: You’re good! Enjoy your flights & restaurants & get back to the office!

So many layers of corruption.

It’s so nuts that the comparison he draws is literally cheating at golf

REPORTER: What do you say to people who view that luxury jet as a personal gift to you? TRUMP: You're ABC fake news, right? Let me tell you -- you should be embarrassed asking that question. They're giving us a free jet ... when they give you a putt, you pick it up and you walk to the next hole

Don’t let the NYT's normalization of Trump's regressive, anti-woman policies fool you. When Republicans talk about wanting more “parents” at home, they mean more women at home. They push policies that limit reproductive rights, undermine access to childcare, and devalue women's contributions... 1/

It's amazing how some people heard the message that a virus like Covid could hit some people harder than others, and they made a whole belief system of invulnerability and superiority

“Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.” George Carlin

🇺🇸 “Rolling Stone reached out to all 53 GOP senators after the president said he didn't know whether he needs to honor the nation's founding document. None replied.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

It’s the first Air Force One that comes with gold trim, mood lighting, and gold faucets to blind incoming missiles.

NEWS: U.S. and China agree to a 90-day pause on new tariffs after shipping to U.S. ports plummeted. Tariffs on Chinese imports will be cut from 145% to 30%. Tariffs on U.S. imports will be cut from 125% to 10%. If tariffs should result in massive job growth and make the U.S. rich, why lower them?

It was only a matter of time before a president who sold hats and bitcoin just decided to take it to the next level

Trump reaches a “deal” to pause the tariffs he imposed on China. I guess all those manufacturing jobs aren’t coming here now, the tariffs won’t replace income taxes, and all the other amazing things they were supposed to do for us are over. So much for Liberation Day.

Ce projet aura été la catastrophe que certains avaient annoncé dès le départ.

China agreed to reduce the tariffs they raised in response to Trump’s tariffs after Trump agreed to lower his tariffs. Create a problem, surrender, then declare victory.

Jeff Bridges says he’s ‘feeling good’ nearly 5 years after cancer diagnosis, but dealing with ‘long-term’ COVID effects. The 75-year-old star says COVID was worse than cancer, likely caught during chemo. Though recovered, there are lasting effects from COVID like memory issues and loss of smell.

I’m just waiting to find out how this is Joe Biden’s fault.

Just curious, what’s the tariff on a $400 million jet from Qatar?

Ages 0-4 are the most important, emotionally & intellectually, in human development. Yet, in the US, we have a very high rate of childhood poverty and a broken child care system. Congratulations to New Mexico for leading the way forward for high quality, free child care. Other states must follow.

Standard fare from the most corrupt administration in American history.

So many videos are circulating of ICE agents acting with cruelty and aggression. Behavior that eerily mirrors the “domestic terrorism” they claim to oppose. No one is forcing them to act this way; it’s a choice.

Conservatives have imported Republican-style conspiracy theories and election denial.

Bribery in plain sight.

Please don't put in the newspaper that 28 children laughed at me

Quand on dit que tous les votes comptent. Tous. Après recomptage judiciaire, victoire du PLC dans Terrebonne par… 1 vote ! 😮

Dear Canadian non-voters— Terrebonne, Quebec just flipped to the Liberals by ONE VOTE. Don’t ever say your vote doesn’t count! #Canada #CanadaSky #cdnpoli #Alberta #yyc #yeg #ElbowsUp 🇨🇦

If you voted Liberal in Terrebonne, your vote really, really mattered. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Liberals climb to 170 seats after judicial recount in Terrebonne…. which the LPC candidate won by ONE vote. ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/216...
