In the summer of 1940, German bombers dropped copies of an “Appeal to Reason,” a hefty leaflet of Hitler’s three hour speech before the German Reichstag. But only because the BBC didn’t broadcast it.

You do NOT need to your Voter Card to VOTE!!! Just bring IDs! Go VOTE!!! #onpoli #cdnpoli

There's a petition to be sent to Premier of NS to maintain the independent status of the Auditor General: chng.it/KPqf5cW2qX

As promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity. TL;DR? AI is evil, unsustainable and stupid, and I'd much rather they use their own brains, make their own mistakes, and actually learn something. 🪄

WHAT THE FLYING FUCK, CBC??? www.c-span.org/event/intern...

The always astute Tom Urbaniak of Cape Breton University: "We have a real case in Nova Scotia of an ailing democracy." His colleague David Johnson concurs: "It is an example of enormous and unwarranted executive overreach." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I don’t often feel rage. That said, I’ve been getting pretty damn close, watching one of the few truly warrior like heroes in the world of leadership…Zelensky…being rat fucked by two of the biggest pieces of shit on the planet.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Oh look Albertans, here’s our Prime Minister at the 4Nations game in Montreal. And he isn’t sitting in a SkyBox. He’s in a seat, with his son, like a regular Canadian.

Happy Canada Flag Day! From icy Halifax.

@acoyne.bsky.social nails it again sorry, I’m all out of gift links but this is the crux of it www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Pierre Poilievre says Canada is broken. What's broken is Pierre's campaign to degrade Canada and give it to Trump. He is the enemy from within.

IMPEACH! For the third time! Get him OUT of politics...!

Pass it on.👇

www.halifaxexaminer.ca/commentary/n... To think a province as small as NS could have a resource based economy is wild. We need sustainable economies and make sure your kids have a place to grow into. We are Canada's Ocean Playground, not Canada's Lithium Mine or Canada's Fracking Economy.

There is going to come a time in the very near future where the only way to resolve this is for every non-MAGA media company to band together and simply refuse to walk into the presser or attend the event. Because he wants the coverage more than anything else. Divided you fall.

The American right has turned to Hungary to learn how authoritarians consolidate power. The American left should look to Poland to see how a big-tent coalition can defeat authoritarianism. It involves multiple parties appealing to different voters.

Dear media, No, Trump isn’t “signaling” that he “might” ignore the courts. He. Is. Ignoring. The. Fucking. Courts. The end. Do your damn job.

Great to see our plum shrubs starting to flower, spring has arrived. 🌱🌿💚 #Gardening #FlowerFeed #BloomScrolling #Spring

Something Pierre and his supporters don't want you to know. Shame on them for treating him so shitty.

www.theguardian.com/world/2021/j... @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social Ffp3 masks eliminate airborne transmission risks. A good time to be talking about this.

Individuals may deny that climate change is real. Politicians may deny that climate change is real. But insurance companies are saying it’s real - and charging more for it. This is text taken from my home insurance policy renewal document. Don’t want to believe science? Believe capitalists.

This is an attack on women's right to vote. "as many as 69 million women who have taken their spouse’s name do not have a birth certificate matching their legal name."

Ethel Rosenberg got the chair for doing a lot less damage to U.S. national security than Elon Musk has done this week

People are holding the line. Yes, Trump & Musk and their minions will keep pushing. So we keep holding the line.

I simply cannot get over how much this looks like the guy who played Herr Starr
