The Netherlands Bach Society has released another jewel, my all time favourite Bach cantata, the joyous Cristus lag in Totesbanden. Do have a listen to this wonderful performance. youtu.be/uQNBDsDdLeE?...

Corporate leaders are obsessing over GDP per capita. But, if you look at just about any number that would meaningfully tell you how well our economy is doing, Canada does better than the U.S. @mendelmatt.bsky.social @jimstanford.bsky.social #alwayscanada #never51 #gdp #cdnpoli #cdnecon

When a guy running for PM is backed by neonazis, spouts fascist propaganda, declares he’ll ignore the courts & use the notwithstanding clause to suspend people’s rights, that he will purge the nonpartisan civil service, enact a #DOGE Canada, then we must call it out: #PoilievreIsAFascist. #Elxn2025

What a lovely story, and the paintings are a joy!

Frightening behaviour from someone who could become PM. Vote like Canada’s future and sovereignty depend on it, because they do.

This is part of an important thread on US agriculture. I am currently boycotting US products, but that doesn't mean I don't care about how the world, including America, feeds itself.

At a press conference on Wednesday, Winnipeg police confirmed the identity of Mashkode Bizhiki’ikwe to be Ashlee Shingoose. Ashlee’s father Albert Shingoose had one request for Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew: sing a song.

You are so right! I live in the Netherlands, and the other othering of other people, especially Muslims and migrants has been going on for decades. We now have a right wing government that wants to make it worse.

I have just been serenaded by the cashier in the local Sobeys store as I put my items on the band. He said he tries to spread a little joy on these dark times. He made my day.

Definitely we need to get rid of these American owned media. And I want to keep our #CBC, but I also want it to IMPROVE its coverage. TBH, there are a few TV personalities that could retire, or be fired. 😒 Just saying... 🤷‍♀️ #CdnMedia #cdnpoli

You'd think the American people would be taking to the streets about this! But they get their news from right wing sources that are not reporting this.

For Ontario peeps. I can't vote there except for federal elections. But you can!

De Nederlandse regeering heeft abrupt besloten om de begroting voor Vluchtelingenwerk's programma Rechtsbescherming meer dan te halveren. Het kabinet ontneemt vluchtelingen hun rechten en laat het asielsysteem bewust vastlopen. Dit is geen rechts beleid, maar #averechtsbeleid.

Hoezo asielcrisis? En nee, die daling in 2024 komt niet op het konto van Faber, maar weerspiegelt een al eerder ingezette en bovendien Europabrede dalende trend (www.dw.com/en/europe-re...)

Pebbling. What a great word and concept.

I mostly listen to BBC Radio 3, and today has been a special delight featuring music from Iceland. Real discoveries of composers and musicians I'm unfamiliar with. The Early Music Show especially. The BBC Sounds app enables you to listen if you missed it. Recommended!
