Happy #Pride everyone. Nature is infinitely diverse.

Public services are not businesses.

Oh yeah nice one kid hook that hope for humanity right into my veins

EXACTLY!

I think even if someone loses an election we should still pause to recognize them for all the hard work, money and time they put into trying to win the election so hat’s off to PostMedia.

I’ve faced down economic challenges before. I’m ready to do it again. #CanadaStrong

Prime Minister Mark Carney does an interview with 22 Minutes

Corporate leaders are obsessing over GDP per capita. But, if you look at just about any number that would meaningfully tell you how well our economy is doing, Canada does better than the U.S. @mendelmatt.bsky.social @jimstanford.bsky.social #alwayscanada #never51 #gdp #cdnpoli #cdnecon

Liberal Party of Canada 🇨🇦 - First, Pierre Poilievre voted against the Canadian Dental Care Plan. Then, he spent a year pretending it didn’t exist — now he wants you to believe that he would protect it. #cdnpoli

Poilievre is obsessed with crowd sizes. Who does that remind you of?

Pierre Poilievre : mauvais choix au mauvais moment.

Pierre Poilievre is the wrong choice at the wrong time.

More people waking up to the realization they voted for the devil because they didn't bother to understand the details. The devil is always in the details.

Donald Trump on Pierre Poilievre: "Our views would be more aligned certainly."

The only fair way to handle this is to appoint a team of teenagers to tear this company limb from limb until we find out what kind of financial damage they are hiding and where

In 1775, a wooden horse and a bale of hay were raised on the walls of Quebec City with a sign for the defeated Americans: We will surrender when this horse has eaten this hay. No 14th colony then. No 51st state now!

First they screen for this sort of thing at the US border. Then, when foreign academics refuse to come to the States, conferences will be held in countries other than the US. Then they'll screen American academics returning home, asking why they attended a conference abroad, examining their phones.
