Imagine believing Friendless Urinal Cake swept all seven swing states when he can’t get anyone to come to his birthday party

“I think it’s because it doesn’t work particularly well, if you want the truth" Danielle Smith defends policy requiring Albertans to pay out of pocket for COVID vaccines after some shots go unused at taxpayer expense www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

WTF #Alberta government to increase prescription costs for seniors for first time in 31 years Province says $10 increase to maximum co-payment is necessary to keep pace with rising costs www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

CBC/Radio-Canada was just named Broadcaster of the Year at the New York Festivals Radio Awards! 🏆 Matt Galloway’s The Current also took home Gold for On-Air Talent. While politicians threaten to defund CBC, the world recognizes its value. Public media matters. #SaveTheCBC

What #CdnPoli won't find in Global's terse "recognition" of the settlement: • the amount; • the name "Sam Cooper;" • the words "apology" or "apologize." Hard enough attracting qualified people of integrity to politics — we don't need unscrupulous fabulists smearing them into oblivion for "clicks."

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday. This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

#Team51 Dani on Rosie Barton right now spouting that it's got to be all #TeamCanada is just so rich. I can barely stand to look at her traitor face.

Tambourines. Trumpets. "Blasting horns so the little fuckers had a terrible sleep.” Demonstrators outside LA-area hotels—where ICE agents are believed to be sleeping—are employing creative methods to keep those agents awake. @annamerlan.bsky.social writes on "No sleep for ICE."

Our military deserves better than this empty charade. Yikes. The tank squeaking over silence is incredible.

🏆 to whoever came up with and coordinated the No Kings protest at Ocean Beach, San Francisco. Don’t miss it…absolute fire.

A $46 million parade, the first in Washington DC in more than 30 years, unfolded against a backdrop of protests and political violence

A leader of the MN House Democrats is murdered by a Republican pro-life activist. Rather than condemning political murder of his opponents, Elon Musk spreads the conspiracy theory that it was done by Democrats. Journalists don’t need to use any social media site. But they really shouldn’t use X.

Lawsuit Grift Inbound! Rebel "News" denied access to G7 summit because they're not News. "283 of the items were not based on facts, nor were multiple perspectives actively pursued, researched, analyzed, or explained by a journalist for the organization," the judge wrote" www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Life at sea offers steady employment and, for workers from many countries, above-average wages. But it also brings the risk of exploitation and abuse. Seafarers are far from home, dependent on the shipping company and often unaware of their few legal protections. thetyee.ca/News/2025/06...

The "I'll lower costs and get us out of endless wars" candidate is now presiding over surging costs and brand new wars.

This is why Senator Padilla was there! The attack on him is very important, and deserves all the attention it has received. But this is a crucial part of the context! A member of the executive branch was describing plans to take over his state!

The joke of the weekend is going to be a man who was so scared that he had his daddy keep him from having to fight in a war...and is now having a military parade to try and convince people that he is brave. #BoneSpurs

U.S. border officials say additional checks of Canada-bound vehicles are here to stay Good news - don't travel to the US and don't have your vehicle searched or be harassed #ElbowsUp globalnews.ca/news/1123878...

I wonder what Trump would have to do to NOT get invited? Be convicted of multiple felonies and found guilty of sexual assault? Incite an insurrection? Threaten annexation of the host country? Invoke unilateral tariffs on G7 members? Sabotage NATO? Side with Putin vs Ukraine? #CanadaStrong #ElbowsUp

Trump's ad for "paid seat fillers" in Craigslist for his military parade features a photo of the Russian military at Moscow's victory day parade. Compensation: $1,000 is worthless bitcoin, fast food, soda.

What happened to Senator Padilla is not homeland security. This is homeland fascism. This is homeland authoritarianism.

www.themirror.com/news/us-news... The governor of Florida reminded Floridians that they have the "right" to "hit" protesters with their cars if they feel unsafe. "You don't have to sit there and just be a sitting duck."...

Gov. Pritzker: “It's wrong to deploy the National Guard and active duty Marines into an American city over the objection of local law enforcement, just to inflame a situation and create a crisis.”

Man, the Winnipeg Free Pres with another bang on editorial.

America is now at the stage of using force on elected officials after passing the stage of arresting judges. A fascist regime on track to being a Nazi regime. Will Trump’s “parade” tanks actually leave the capital once the parade is over? Or do the regime’s ghouls have other plans? #RIPAmerica

A US Senator forcibly removed from a press conference, 3 cops put him on the ground, man handled him and handcuffed him behind his back. This is a police state. #SenatorPadilla

I always assumed a 2 Litre container would contain 2 Litres of product. I never noticed it until I thought the brand new Oasis juice was half full this morning. Shrinkflation?
