Human remains found in the Prairie Green landfill belong to Morgan Beatrice Harris, one of four victims of serial killer Jeremy Skibicki, RCMP have confirmed.

It takes a unique kind of genius to fuck up the US-Canada relationship.

I keep seeing people ask, "Why is Trump doing this?" about the tariffs. It seems pretty simple to me: He wants a huge Income tax cut for his billionaire donors. To do so, he has to do two things: 1—cut expenses (DOGE) and 2—create an alternate source of funds (tariffs).

When Mike Myers wore his "Canada Is Not For Sale" t-shirt on SNL, he mouthed a secret code: "elbows up." It's a reference to the great Gordie "Mr. Elbows" Howe who punished those that messed with his team. You heard him Canada: elbows up. If anyone asks why, tell them that Mike Myers sent you.

Feb 28 is the national boycott of American companies. Tomorrow I am holding a press conference with Quebec Amazon employees who were fired by Jeff Bezos. He is a toxic oligarch and a pal of Trump. I am calling on all Canadians to support the Amazon workers and boycott this shitty company.

Explaining to CNN the economic chaos that Donald Trump is about to unleash on his own people. We will never break or concede to an erratic thug who seems like Al Capone in his syphilitic phase trying to pull a shakedown. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-ZE...

Oh Canada! 🇨🇦

Bruce MacKinnon, the editorial cartoonist at the Halifax Chronicle-Herald, drew this last November. No newspaper would print it. It now deserves an outing.

Regulators are looking into reports of property damage in the island nation of Turks and Caicos caused by debris falling after a SpaceX Starship vehicle exploded over the ocean during a test mission, according to the FAA.

Twenty years ago, today. We got our first—and so far only—photo from the surface of an icy moon. Titan. By the Huygens probe.

Breaking News! Code UFB!!! The global surface temperature anomaly has now been released for last year. According to Copernicus, 2024 was 1.60°C above the 1850-1900 IPCC baseline! climate.copernicus.eu/copernicus-2...

When a liberal area suffers a climate change disaster, Republicans say “God is punishing them.” When a conservative area suffers a climate change disaster, Republicans say “Democrats control weather machines.” Must be hard going through life as a full-blown idiot.

Trump says he plans to use "economic force" to make Canada a state

Trump: "We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America." (He's serious.)

Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, has died at age 100

DAMMIT NPR. I spent nine months upgrading over TEN THOUSAND desktops at a F500 client. The grand total was over SEVENTY THOUSAND applications upgraded. Y2K "didn't live up to the hype" because the industry busted ass to duct tape everything first.

Have a marvellous Christmas, Bluesky folks!🎄 Thoughts & prayers with those caught up in an unfolding situation in LA.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: The message I’m hearing from people across Canada is this: they’re not afraid of you. They know you’re a convicted felon. They know that the people you’re bringing in to run your, let’s call it an “organization” rather than a government, are grifters, thieves, and thugs.

Justin Trudeau failed in the biggest job a Prime Minister has: to work for people, not the powerful. The NDP will vote to bring this government down, and give Canadians a chance to vote for a government who will work for them.

President Zelensky refers to the aging Russian dictator as a "dumbass" after Putin threatens to launch his mythical "Oreshnik" missile onto the people of Kyiv, "to see what happens".

Hi! 👋You seem to be looking at my profile for some reason. How did you get here, I wonder? I'm not a bot, but I don't post or reply much. I'm mostly a passive observer, a "spectator" on social media. If I've reposed something then I've probably found it particularly interesting or useful somehow.

Others have noted it but I will too: The big reason Bluesky is so hot right now is that the people who add value to social media - the frequent posters in specific fields - are here now, talking to each other and creating the "spectator value" that draws users and attention.

What kind of convoluted, pretzel-brain bullshit is this? If the US was invading Mexico, I would fully expect Mexico to use any weapons they had at their disposal. If Russia doesn’t want to be bombed, the simple answer is to get the fuck out of Ukraine.

Congrats Argos.

Hi friends! I just wanted to give a quick update on The Onion’s purchase of InfoWars, which we can’t wait to relaunch as the dumbest website on the internet. The long and short of it: We won the auction and — you're not going to believe this — the previous InfoWars folks aren't taking it well.
