Fucking disgusting the leaders debate made Mark Carney take TWO questions (plus follow ups, so four) from dogshit grifters who were behind the article targeting HIS CHILD All bc they're too chickenshit to stand up to these asswipes that crawled out of their mom's basements for the night

Doug Ford says cancelling therme contract not on table because mob will put him in lake

My last thought on this because I need some Offline Time: Because of their fear of being defined as "not neutral" or "biased," the bodies who label "journalists" and adjudicate access are increasingly complicit in the destruction of our information ecosystem. Meet the moment and grow a spine.

The Conservative Party says they would introduce a ‘Three Strikes Rule’ if elected. But does tough on crime mean tough on Indigenous Peoples who are overrepresented in the system? APTN News partnered with the Yellowhead Institute to fact check the parties.

I am never upgrading

Jagmeet is a man of real courage and integrity who would be phenomenal as a cabinet minister or maybe a premier. He's just a lousy federal leader.

“Rebel is a conspiratorial partisan outlet that spreads misinformation and actively campaigns against candidates it doesn’t like. This isn’t journalism and it’s obscene that the Debate Commission let them on — and even more wild that it allowed so many of their faux-journalists to hijack…”

Listen, if Rebel News gets to ask questions, @thebeaverton.com should get to ask questions. Let me ask Pierre if he thinks my biological clock looks fertile enough. I'll wear a blazer and everything. Don't deny me my rights, you cowards www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Endlight Season 17 (of 20) releases May 12 (FREE). 41 even-more-bizarre levels featuring newly invented things! Easily the best Season yet. Even better? Comes with many major improvements to earlier seasons and the base game. We finally CRACKED the recipe. #Endlight

Shut down the debate commission. It’s failed.

We got our Canadian election voter card in the mail this week, and will be taking advantage of the 4 days of advance voting that will make it easy. Remember, the polls look good for Carney, but DON’T be overconfident. Polls don’t win elections. Neither do pundits. TURNOUT wins elections. #VOTE

The New York Times has obtained the autopsies of the Palestinian medics massacred by the Israeli occupation army. They show that some were shot point blank in the skull.

Entirely unrelated I’m sure…. #ABPoli #ABLeg #FireTheUCP #ABHealth #CDNPoli

The perfect Canadian politics headline doesn’t exi—

'End of an era': The last RadioShack in Maryland is closing its doors Discussion

I can't believe this didn't work!

In maybe the Most Canadian story ever, two political parties (the NDP and Bloc Québécois) are asking that tomorrow's French language election debate be postponed because it conflicts with a Montreal Canadiens game.

The best thing about the upcoming Oblivion remaster will be the wailing and gnashing of teeth after everyone is finally forced to acknowledge how utterly unremarkable it is. And yeah, I am 100% gonna be that way about it.

CANADIAN REPORTER: Trump's tone on Canada has shifted. He stopped talking about Canada becoming the 51st state. LEAVITT: I would reject that the president's position on Canada has shifted. Perhaps he just hasn't been asked about it. He believes Canadians would benefit from becoming the 51st state.

this is wild: vehicle capacity of freeway lanes dropped 10 percent as SUVs took over the road -- not just bc they are bigger. they also take more time and space to slow down and obscure other drivers' sightlines. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

My god, Gmail sucks so bad. How did we as a society collectively decide that this is the ideal way to do email?

Poilievre was asked this morning what, concretely, he would do to end "woke culture" in the public service and the military and he pointed to two things: 1. The Liberal government's "woke criminal justice agenda." 2. The Liberal government's "woke agenda on spending."

I understand that we* don’t understand how people could see our sovereignty crisis and pick anyone but Mark Carney but people who cannot afford housing or food are being enticed by Poilievre because they are not being offered anything by the Liberals and they are so desperate.

Exclusive: Major Canadian research hospital CHEO advises staff to avoid the US - and to take a "burner" device if they have to go And the University of Waterloo recently advised staff about "clean" laptops they can borrow

A consequence of finding ourselves in These Political Times is that I've been consuming a lot more CBC content, including Andrew Chang's About That series, which I recommend highly for clear explanations about Trump's "trade" ""policies"" in particular.

Absolutely not.

Be ever vigilant.

So I met a far-right Youtuber who's a fixture at Poilievre's rallies. "The Pleb" embodies the Conservatives' relationship with misinfo...they love having him at the rallies, but also keep him at arm's length. He's got 250K followers. Ever heard of him? www.nationalobserver.com/2025/04/14/a...
