I just spent 2 full hours squatting, crouching, bending and crawling. No I wasn't exercising, I was laying out a quilt. Who says crafting is sedentary?

Whoa. Pierre Poilievre started a press conference with a question from the truly trash True North, has taken a question from Rebel News...and between every question you can hear a someone yell in the background that he's not allowing all reporters to ask questions. He's ignoring them.

Five major airlines are suing to overturn a rule from then-Transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg that actually holds airlines accountable for damaging disabled people's wheelchairs. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Fellow Ontarians, we can't afford to let the thug in Queen's Park trash any more of our provincial services or sell them off cheap to his donors. Your vote matters. You can find your voting info here: www.elections.on.ca/en.html

First Musk did a Nazi salute and now Vance wining and dining with the Nazi party in Germany. We have a Nazi problem, folks. www.reuters.com/world/vance-...

Ever wonder how it is that Doug Ford can run 10 ads to Stiles & Crombie's 1? Doug Ford used the Notwithstanding Clause to smash the Charter, increase the personal annual maximum political donation to $10K+ while deregulating fundraising dinners and turning them into smorgasbords of graft. #onpoli

Patients should not be getting sick in the place they go to receive care. Masks should be mandatory in all healthcare facilities. If a patient asks you to wear one, do it. Your “comfort” shouldn’t be a higher priority than our lives.

For whatever stupid political reasons, the Trump administration took down information about avian flu transmission from cats to people (and vice versa). There are 74M cats in the US. This is endangering public health. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/h...

Maybe he’s afraid he’d find Trump’s PPP tape.

This is a significant reduction in funding for abortion access but also reproductive healthcare in general. I hope it’s not in response to the U.S. embracing such a strong anti-abortion stance. Abortion is healthcare. Reproductive health is healthcare. These services save countless lives.

Please enjoy my cartoon for Wednesday's Toronto Star

The full 1993 Donmar production of Cabaret, directed by Sam Mendes and starring Alan Cumming as the Emcee and Jane Horrocks as Sally Bowles youtu.be/IOs82ubFyFQ?...

Holy f*ck! Just days after his Nazi salute seen around the world, Elon Musk is speaking at an AfD rally about “German pride”, warning against “multicultural delusion”, and telling them not to feel guilty about the “sins of their great grandparents”.

Look at who Trump and team are “othering”. They’re going after the disabled, the immigrants, people of colour, the LGBTQ+ community AND women. When you allow fascism, it doesn’t stop with one group. Nazi’s started with disabled people. They tested their policies on us. Please don’t forget that.

A reminder that Doug Ford made a deal with Elon Musk for Starlink access very recently. Whatever Doug is saying with that hat? It's a lie. He's in with the Nazis and other fascists down south. Don't get fooled in February. #toronto #onpoli #canada

Canada could make a big move into health research and health system improvement by recruiting top minds from US universities and hospitals. But this would require vision, leadership, and investment from the feds and provinces.

All churches should be taxed. Repost if you agree.

news orgs: if you’re not willing to call the Nazi salute what it was why should we trust you about literally anything “mathematicians dispute whether two and two add up to four” level horseshit

The MAGA movement has convinced many that fleets of trans kids are being subjected to woke medical barbarism. The real numbers? 0.017% of youth are coded as trans and receive puberty blockers. 0.037% access hormone therapy. That's 1/20th of one percent. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Well this sucks. Museum caves in in response to a hostile article in the local press written by a former Restore Trust director. If you’re gonna have these initiatives at your museum, you need to have some backbone too. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Tesla sales tank. 3h Over 60 German and Austrian universities, the German Federal Court of Justice and multiple top German football clubs have announced on Friday that they will be completely withdrawing from Twitter, as a result of Elon Musk's "discussion" with far-right AfD's Alice Weidl.

I absolutely hate the phrase "rolled back". It makes it sound like they released a bad software patch. They aren't "rolling back protections and rights" they are TAKING AWAY protections and rights. Away from normal, not rolling back to normal. Stop saying it

Bill 124 was written to undermine public hospitals while making the owners of healthcare staffing agencies rich. Mike Harris' wife, Lauren, happens to own one. Harris pulled the same grift - made private LTC legal and then chaired the board of one of the worst. www.corruptario.ca/bill-124-was...

Happy New Year. Be safe and maybe this year won't be as bad as it could be.

CNN is cheerleading and sanewashing Trump’s international aggression. This is the equivalent of German newspapers cheerleading Hitler’s designs on Austria, Czechoslovakia, and Poland.

Spouse bought groceries for tonight and spent $6.99 on *three sweet peppers* This is why Canadian doctors are being instructed to check for scurvy If the Liberals or NDP want to win the next election, they need to end grocery barons' price gouging

I think "kid killer" is the term we need here. The people who stop vaccinations kill our kids.
