"All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated and well supported in logic and argument than others." --Douglas Adams

Spread the love and acceptance #pridemonth

June is Indigenous History Month - a time for all of us to recognize & honor the rich cultures and languages, strengths & contributions of Indigenous peoples across this land. This month, let’s commit to amplifying Indigenous voices, challenging systemic racism, & engaging in true reconciliation.

Let your Pride shine! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

PSA to second hand shoppers: Give your finds a good soak!

“It's an universal law -- intolerance is the first sign of an inadequate education. An ill-educated person behaves with arrogant impatience, whereas truly profound education breeds humility.” ― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn

Amen to this! 💙

Yes, but in what context was this said? Was he merely discrediting the signatories or was he actually critical of slavery? If critical, did he also comment on other issues like empire and patriarchal laws? Or was he mum on what served him?

Carney trying not to laugh is gold.

Exactly my thoughts whenever this comes up.

This is one of the problems for the US. You’ve all been told you are the greatest nation for decades. And it’s just not true. It was never true. See education levels, gun deaths, health cost bankruptcies, infant mortality, life expectancy, violence, and so much more.

Do you realize how big of a monster you have to be to make the Catholic Church look like the victim?

Passing this on as I am in 1,000,000,000-%!

Here I was thinking that the biggest reason to keep him out was to protect our basic human rights, like housing. Tone is merely a rhetorical device, and he’s not the only head on that Hydra.

I’m definitely celebrating Mark Carney’s win tonight! 🥳 🍾 🙌🏻 However… How close it was is worrying. This isn’t over. The fight will carry on in other arenas.

It’s Election Day, Canada. Go vote Canada Strong.

That is a cat whose boundaries are respected. This is what we want in a leader: respect.

Liberals - do not listen to any messaging that says "Liberals already have it in the bag so Liberal voters needn't bother voting". Disregard that stuff, it is a voter suppression technique. Tomorrow get out and vote come hell or high water. #cdnpoli

Pierre is compromised

Hear me out…. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/s...

Mark Carney tells Assembly of First Nations Liberals are committed to implementing UNDRIP - 'fundamental and unwavering' #Canada #FederalElection #LiberalParty Reminder-Poilievre voted against this and many other investments for First Nations in Canada. www.cbc.ca/news/indigen...

Polls are NOT votes!!

It would be very healthy for human species, If there is less Discouragement.

I remember election night 2015 and the overwhelming relief- like a boot taken off my chest- when Harper and the CPC were sent packing. Get out and vote folks. I wouldn’t wish the lost Harper years on anyone. That was a true dystopia. We’re still repairing. #cdnpoli #exln45 #vote #neverCPC

If you think Carney 'has this nailed' and so there is no need to vote, please reconsider. Every vote counts so please don't hand this to the Cons. #CdnPoli

Dear Canada: That asshole in the WH hasn’t stopped calling you the 51st state because he has given up his expansionists ambitions. He stopped saying it because Poilievre begged him to chill during the election. If you want Canada to stay Canadian,vote Liberal. You can deal with policy differences

In this election, this is what you are voting for. Uphold it. #cdnpoli

Hey Canada! Today is the last day of advance voting. Voting is Easy. Fighting an Authoritarian Government is Hard. Vote Please and Thank you. Elbows Up! 🍁 💪

Today (Apr 21) is the last day to vote in the advance polls. Tomorrow (Apr 22) is the last day to vote at an Elections Canada office or to apply to vote by mail. Election day (Apr 28) is one week away. Make a plan. Bring a friend. Your vote matters. #ElbowsUp #CanadaVotes www.elections.ca

I ❤️ early voting 🗳️🇨🇦

🇨🇦Liberals need to ignore the pollsters, just get out and vote, encourage friends, families and neighbours to do likewise. In every riding. Every vote counts, and lots of ridings will be really close! 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

Train your own model.

Is this really the time for competition? Let’s see some team work instead. Enough with the MVP mindset.

“There’s no reason why hateful and divisive candidates like Donald Trump and Pierre Poilievre should ever have a chance of being elected. It’s up to decent people to call out their polarization and disinformation, and remain united against them.”

I saw someone criticizing a very funny poster for making jokes instead of posting about politics, and I am reminded of a favorite line from E. B. White: We should strive not for balanced books but balanced libraries
