I read the NYT every day because I trust their journalism but seriously they need to insert just a tad more assumptive language to headlines. We will not think less of you @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/live/2025/05...

Rat Free? It's illegal to keep rats in Alberta along with 75 years of active rat patrol, until recently that is. Kick out the elected rat, deserter to Canada, denier of First Nations rights. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Guaranteed Trump is never never never getting gifts like this from US citizens. #nevernevernever51 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Toss him out! #stornowaysquater

Helluva mic drop.

Canada votes No big money:$1750 max, individuals only, no corporate or union $ or anonymous PACs. No drama: volunteers and day workers hand count ballots and attest to each one, discussing concerns with pre-determined rules for disputes. (CBC photos)

Prime Minister Mark Carney does an interview with 22 Minutes

Pollievre and Byrne act in a 2002 TV commercial for Ezra Levant. The far right are the Conservative Party in Canada, having worked together for over 2 decades to bring their act, once again, to the national stage. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

To a lawyer, this is the most dangerous plank in the piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre’s platform. If implemented, it would represent the complete Americanization of Canada’s legal system. We don’t appoint judges to be ‘strict’. We appoint them to find the facts and apply the law, including the Charter.

A base Trump cannot compete with? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/b...

Ok, I admit to reading the G&M everyday, it’s legit, but you also just know they are chomping at the bit to find a way to endorse PP. Without fail, I think, they tip their hat to conservative “business” candidates. I’ll eat my words gladly to be wrong 😉 @theglobeandmail.com

“We’re conservatives, we don’t believe in that… (programs to help people during Covid)” PP

Today a member of the legislature chose to spread residential school denialism in the house. This is harmful and deplorable. I stood up in the house and made it clear that we stand with survivors, their families, and communities.

#WhiskyLeaks Trend this and don’t let up until he’s gone. I’m doing it for Hillary

Poilievre took four questions from news outlets they chose. There were two questions from local newspapers and then one question each from CBC, TVA and, as is Poilievre’s official policy, none were allowed a follow-up. THIS is how you avoid accountability try to manipulate the narrative. #neverCPC

According to Huff Post, Trump is on course to direct the federal government to spend at least $150 million a year following him to his for profit businesses. Not a trip to camp David folks, trips he profits off. Not a simple trip home for the weekend folks, trips to play golf at his course. Obscene.

Credit to @cbinvan.bsky.social for giving me the best laugh in weeks, and the hashtag is spot on here in Canada 🇨🇦 as we go into a critical federal election: #thebankerorthewanker

I've been saying this for years, #NobodyLikesPierrePoilievre, not even Conservatives. Possibly his own family. #NeverPoilievre #TheBankerOrTheWanker www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

As the morning’s onslaught hits my Bluesky feed, I conjure up this: Hillary’s Emails. Republicans frothing over the worse controversy ever, peppering speeches, social media posts and television appearances with fiery condemnation! (NYT). Ron Desantis joining the “lock her up” chorus. 😤 #resist

They’re fuckin with our happiness, that’s it! Bloody hell, we fell to 18th in the world. ok still leading G7 in happiness, followed by Germany (6.75), the UK (6.73), US (6.72), France (6.59), Italy (6.42) and Japan (6.15). But still, come on, smiles turnin into frowns won’t do!

Jackie Robinson, I read today also Colin Powell, how is this happening? #resist

And the BC mainstream media is saying Bill 7 is an “indefensible power grab” because we aren’t at war. I call it a defensible power gird up to protect us and help us to act in the very dark days ahead. #bcpoli

I can't even get on their press release list 🤷‍♀️ I rely on tips from the community about Poilievre appearances in the Vancouver area. And his staff are sometimes surprised to see me! #journalism

It’s been said many times that the treaties supersede the separatists. Alberta simply can’t leave without support from treaty signatories. And today, Chief Billy-Joe Tuccaro of the Mikisew Cree Nation made it clear. It’s a hard no. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Good afternoon America have you apologized to a Canadian yet today?

Here in Canada: today, buy fabulous Canadian wine, next bottle will be a fine French vintage. Splurge will be at least one “real” bottle of Champagne! Repeat.

next Canadian government should think of boosting research funding up here and trying to grab as many American postdocs and researchers as possible

No one ever said they were creative.
