Jfc .... Just endlessly evil hypocrite billionaires all around us.

“According to Museum officials, fewer than 300 red wolves exist across human care and in the wild.”

unpopular opinion: Andrea Bocelli is seriously overrated. he is a mediocre tenor. fine for weddings.

mr poilievre's assumption that he can continue to live in a mansion at taxpayer's expense, something he and his trolls would have railed at and made songs about, demonstrates the level of entitlement and privilege conservatives revel in. this party couldn’t care less about most canadians. #cdnpoli

phrase of the day: “political scar tissue” — david cochrane #cdnpoli

pierre started somewhat normal and gone off the reservation shortly after, lying about the newly appointed ministers. jfc. what a piece of shit. #cdnpoli

so Poilievre the populist is back campaigning, blathering and bullshitting. mind boggles. #cdnpoli #NeverPoilievre

what drives mr Poilievre is a crushing, overwhelming inferiority complex. everything he does can be predicted from that starting point. note how he thinks he "won the debate" on topics he poisoned, and how Carney is “stealing his ideas.” this is just sad. #cdnpoli #NeverPoilievre

Piers Morgan is actually the bad guy here. Why? Because this woman is a known and open Nazi. If you invite someone who is not an open racist and you get her to say racist things, you're exposing her. If you invite an open racist and she says racist things, you're just platforming her.

As Gabriel Byrne says in Miller's Crossing: “I'd worry a lot less if I thought you were worrying enough.” We must hope that the administration is worrying enough about #India and #Pakistan, and can find the competence to help deescalate the situation. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

right wing nut jobs who often type “lol” are most certainly not laughing, probably crying a little because of repeated butt hurt.

This individual is by definition a #Traitor to this country. Alberta premier to chair sovereignty panel, put proposals to 2026 referendum This is nothing but a Red Herring to cover up the crimes of the UCP www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

So tired of this lazy "the west" narrative. B.C just elected 19 Liberal MP's, historically has been an NDP power base. The provincial government couldn't be farther philosophically from Sask/Alberta. The west isn't a monolith, stop lumping the real west, it's insulting to B.C. #cdnpoli

“for generative AI systems, the rule is: bias in, bias out” — morten the explainer

First Germany, then Canada, and now Australia. Antifascists are making a global comeback.

"Canada has what everyone wants. We're a confident nation that celebrates our diversity, that believes in and practices free speech, that respects the rule of law, that has a vibrant democracy," Carney said.

excellent! p.dw.com/p/4tq1C

what's with the influx of anonymous coward trolls "from alberta" spewing mirror-world garbage and venom? some people are /burning/ angry they couldn't win with their puppet populist führer, so trying the "separation" card to try to destabilize this great country. #cdnpoli #ableg

while US is getting a self-lobotomy of its sciences, this is what china is up to. i hope canada can build these reactors too. #cdnpoli

dear #CPC comm team, this really needs an update. it is becoming seriously embarrassing. #cdnpoli #PierrePoilievreIsUnfitToLead

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’ One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

if this is real he is literally asking us to support the guy who will kiss his ring and his ass, Poilievre the dull populist. not going to happen. #cdnpoli

most anonymous coward #CPC trolls/bots on twitter are losing their minds in real time. tomorrow more than likely they will be losing their sponsors and income streams. rotfl.

brilliant as usual.

this landed [with a thud] it’s the first annotated edition with the final authorized text and includes two chapters dropped from earlier editions. i’ve never read it in its entirety, and this is a very good time to fix that mistake. #cdnpoli #uspoli

"billionaires spending their money on lavish bunkers is kind of apt and hopefully funny, given who the most famous man to own a lavish bunker was, and what he wound up doing to himself in it" -- A. R. Moxon

a new lesson this year: never ever underestimate the brain-breaking force of two birds from a smiling boomer. it’s a long kept secret jedi move. #cdnpoli #nevervoteconservative

poilievre’s smiles: you can almost hear the orders going to various facial muscles, and they are grudgingly attempting to perform something rarely requested. meanwhile his eyes are just black pools, bereft of any humour, levity, kindness, joy, compassion, anything. sad really.

all three are flat. return where applicable. via @deadder.bsky.social

I don't know what kind of "lawyer" Caryma Sa'd is, but that cardboard cutout image is a flagrant, disgusting copyright violation. I hope the person whose image she is using without permission for fundraising would sue her and "pleb reporter" for significant damages. #cdnpoli

PM Carney. priceless.

Some Canadians seem to have forgotten exactly how horrible the Harper years were. A lot of younger Canadians cannot imagine it. Here's a memory. It was this fucken horrible. This "kid" was braver than all of us, every gdamn Canadian, that day. #cdnpoli #Canada #CanadaSky www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

A new study finds that conservatives distrust science! Not shocking, I know, but it also found that they even distrust science that ostensibly supports their worldview, and the researchers couldn't find a single intervention that helped. 🧪 skepchick.org/2025/04/stud...

pierre poilievre checking out lumber to build his “platform”

until the election day, we are up against a tsunami of disinformation, bullshit, smears, lies, and ads featuring old white privileged men playing golf and talking politics. the message that precedes all others is simple: pay attention, vote. #cdnpoli

this is good friday, and I feel good. we now know, without a doubt, PM Mark Carney is the leader Canada needs at this critical moment in the history of western democracies. I don't say this lightly: he is far beyond most politicians. we are so fortunate to have him. #cdnpoli
