I do not care if Canada post is ever profitable. It is a public service, everyone owns it. That’s valuable in and of itself. We don’t ask the emergency room or public schools to turn a profit. We ask them to be accessible for everyone to use.

If you read the Globe & Mail article about the 900 block Pandora or have been following what some city councillors have been saying in response to it, please read Euan Thompson's piece. It's super thoughtful & includes a lot of data & context. @drugdatadecoded.ca drugdatadecoded.ca/bc-governmen...

If I’m following the logic correctly here, “Elbow’s Up” refers to a rejection of American imperialism as well as a celebration of British imperialism?

Pierre Poilievre, speaking to caucus yesterday, referred to what I can only assume are the anti-genocide protests as “rampaging antisemitic riots.” He got a standing ovation. For seemingly pledging to crack down on people who want a genocide stopped. Very “free speech” of him. Fucking foul

Canada boldly asserts its sovereignty by inviting the King of another country over to remind everyone that he’s our head of state too. I know he’s our king too, but once can make a strong argument that Mary Simon better represents contemporary Canada. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

51 people were killed by Israel today. No statements of international condemnation from every world leader. No "violence is never the answer". The forced starvation of millions of people just continues. Outrage over the innocent seems to only apply in one direction

Horrific murder of two Israeli embassy staffers in the middle of DC. This kind of violence is illegal, immoral, inexcusable and of course - if the chant of ‘free Palestine’ by the alleged shooter is true - solves nothing and helps zero Palestinians.
