We have a govt that’s engaged in human trafficking, that’s openly allowing a gulf petrostate to bribe its leadership, that’s reshaping the refugee program in overtly racist terms, that’s almost ended American foreign aid entirely, that’s doing its level best to crash the economy from the rose garden

In a world of Elon Musks, be a Robert De Niro

absolutely fucking horrifying just like 2018 with these kill machines and absolutely need to point out that the filipino festival goers are the ones who detained the suspect *for the police.*

Good grief, Poilievre’s voice is grating. Can we listen to the translator from last night’s French debate instead?

This is such a fucking disgrace, and so, so frustrating. Instead of getting to hear the federal leaders take serious questions from legitimate journalists, we’re stuck listening to a bunch of nonsensical garbage. This does nothing to help the public understand important issues.

If you missed it, catch up. From NYTs, it sure looks, Ontario, as if Doug Ford is taking your land and cash and blowing it on an off-brand spa. Gift link while it lasts: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/w...

As British soldiers were being evacuated from Dunkirk, the 1st Canadian Division was already in the UK as the only fully armed force to defend the shores. This photo of Canadians in the Battle of Britain is displayed across from our parliament. We fought fascism from day 1. Don't fuck with us.

The NYT just dropped a bombshell: a foreign spa company with one location and no cash landed a 95-year sweetheart deal—based on misleading claims and a secretive, preferential process. This gov't was elected to protect Ontario. Do the right thing. Cancel the deal. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/w...

You'd think he'd want to emulate Trump less, not more, during the election campaign.

This man has no regard for human beings. Can’t people see it? Anyway, read the comments.

Just watched this @tvotoday.bsky.social segment and it was great! It was so nice to see Canadian arts and culture getting some deserved attention.

The irony here is that he’s using language that’s eerily similar to Trump, who talks in the same weird way about fertility.

Literal Donald Trump rhetoric.

There’s no doubt about it – a Conservative government led by Poilievre would be dangerous for our country.

One thing people seem to be forgetting when talking about Alberta Premier Danielle Smith going to hang with grifter shitbag Ben Shapiro: Shapiro topped the list of Twitter accounts the Quebec Mosque shooter visited in the month before he committed the mass atrocity. Shameful.

If you're scooping up students off the street for writing op-eds, you're secret police, and should be treated accordingly.

Can I get one last “But her emails!” on the record here?

What the fuck, Doug?

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.

"Did Trump just defy a court order?" YES, motherfuckers. Why in the fuck is that so hard for people to say? The judge told him to stop doing something, he did it anyway, IN DEFIANCE OF THE JUDGES RULINGS! WHY ARE PEOPLE COMMITTED TO ADDRESSING FASCISM IN THE PASSIVE VOICE????

The stock market is down, a measles outbreak is spreading, and tens of thousands of federal workers have been fired, but don’t worry, we have some good news for you: Donald Trump won another golf tournament at his private club in Florida.

Putting the Arctic Ocean closer to the center, this brings the Greenland Canada gambit into focus. It is a grab for power, money, water, and resources, also giving the US complete control over the Northwest Passage. Fentanyl and the border are a smokescreen for a much bigger project: theft.

The Republicans have thrown Mahmoud Khalil on the Bonfire of American Credibility they’re stoking. We can certainly see the smoke here in Canada, Europe too.

The detention of Mahmoud Khalil puts all Americans fundamental rights at risk. And if you can’t see that because you oppose his politics, well that’s exactly the reaction Trump and his cronies are counting on. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

1. You feel powerless? Don’t know what you can do to resist the rise of fascism? Here is an answer: Good Things. Fascism inflicts pain and harm as a matter of doctrine. Kindness, care and conviviality defend us from it. The more we build community, the less it can take root. 🧵

Any time you see an article frame something as "took action against transgender sports," do more digging. 75% of the time, whatever they are talking about also bans trans people from bathrooms/medical care/targets trans adults. Sports is just a way to frame it as morally acceptable.

Easy to lose this in the noise of the day, but the prime minister of Canada just said the US president, leader of the global hegemon, wants to soften us up economically so he can annex us. That is one of the most remarkable statements, and realities, in our history.

People should be calling this what it is, which is a crypto bailout. They're cutting cancer research so they can bailout rich, degenerate gamblers bsky.app/profile/ronf...

Yes, it has no real value, but morons expend a lot of energy producing it anyway, most of the risks are in the transactions, all the guys holding it tell you it's in high demand but the smart investor recognizes a classic pump-and-dump scheme when they see one.

It’ll take time to quantify the deaths caused by the end of US aid but early internal sector figures go from 250,000 in the next few months, to 3 million+ this year

I could watch this on a loop all night. #ElbowsUp

I’d choose Mike Myers over Wayne Gretzky every day of the week and twice on Sundays. #ElbowsUp #CanadaIsNotForSale

I have so many fond memories of taking day trips to Vermont when visiting family in Quebec as a kid, and seeing the images from today’s protests really warmed my heart. Way to go, Vermont! You’re awesome! 🙌

I stand with the people fighting to help Ukraine. I oppose the Trump/Putin gangster regimes. Canada has a malignant threat on our border while the front line in Ukraine is being hammered. This is an all hands on deck moment for our nation and the world.

I’m sorry, but repeating this framing without skepticism is collaborating with your source to mislead your readers. They have been working on humiliating Zelensky and catering to Putin since long before the inauguration. Nothing about this is a response; it’s the plan of an abuser and a charlatan.

Well, my voter card finally arrived… several days after I voted in advance polls. (In Ontario you can still vote without your voter card. Just bring ID showing your name & address. More info available here: www.elections.on.ca/en.html) #onpoli

Fuck the American Nazis.
