My wife and I just voted...against Dougie and his cronies. The elections officer said there were about 800/day on Thursday/Friday and "a lot more than that today" in our Carleton riding. Remember, don't be part of the 57% that vote by not voting at all! Get out and vote! We can turf his ass!

Do you know what borders on insanity? Canada and Mexico.

@ianhanomansing.bsky.social this question is like asking ‘was Terry Fox an asshole?’ The visceral reaction of Canadians would be the same as the question itself is an insult. As others have said , do better.

Team Canada usually plays hockey like it needs it, but this was different. At this hinge point of history, at this moment of uncertainty, Canada really needed this one. It felt good to win. www.thestar.com/sports/hocke...

Remember when team USA beat the Soviets in the 80s? Canada just had that moment and the US were the Soviets this time. Congratulations Canada 🍁

This.

TAKE THAT, GRETZKY! YOU TRAITOROUS MOTHERFUCKER!!

🚨 JUST IN: Canada DEFEATS the USA 3-2 to take home the #4Nations  Championship

Keep the faith in the darkest of times…💙💙

Chantal Kreviazuk changed the lyrics to O Canada at the 4 Nations Face-Off game against the United States on Thursday to sing "that only us command" instead of "in all of us command." switch was intentional in response to the annexation rhetoric coming from the U.S. NOW THAT’S Canadian!!!

Whst worries me as a 🇨🇦 is Trump starts a war between Russia and the EU. Canada will step up as part of NATO. This would possibly leave 🇨🇦 ripe for invasion by 🇺🇸. I have a son in the 🇨🇦 Navy, who will fight to his last breath to protect our nation. So that worries me. So very proud of him.

Booing the national anthem of a country your President has threatened to annex isn’t the flex you think it is.

Fuck yes!

if you want yet another reason to despise Shopify and their weasels, have a listen to @rachelgilmore.bsky.social on True North’s Candice Malcolm — the wife of a top Shopify executive — who blames DEI for the Delta crash. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0e74...

another brilliant assessment of the US mess - this time by Heather Cox-Richardson www.facebook.com/share/p/1R6q...

Whenever a politician (or anyone else) tells you what's broken, ask them what they plan to do about it that is good for regular people and families. If they blubber on with slogans/lack of actual policy, you have your answer as to whether it is as broken as they say. Hint: it isn't

Good context on NATO vs USA. NATO also has access to the United States weapon systems, defense systems, software. We know their capabilities, and weakness. It's all shared. America would not have the tactical advantage, nor the tactical strength. #cdnpoli

When criticizing governments it's kind of helpful to know if they are responsible for what you are criticism them for. Of course, this has not stopped premiers and mayor's criticizing/blaming the feds for everything. Don't fall for it. Put criticism/blame where it is due at all levels of government

Our ideals and ideas define us, and our collective ideals and ideas are what make countries work - or not. The ones that make Canada what it is are worth protecting. From @charlieangus104.bsky.social better half substack.com/inbox/post/1...

I stand with Ukraine. 🇺🇦

If you want to properly grasp what is happening in the US and who the real players are, you need to read this - it's shocking, bone chilling, and downright fucking scary. Sorry that it's on FB but it's too long for screen grabs - take the time www.facebook.com/jim.cooperma...

Watch. (Two parts)

And this is one the consequences. If this does cause a burning rage in your soul nothing will. Rest in peace little one

“Gainesville Intermediate …was aware Carranza was being bullied and mocked by students who told the young girl she would be left alone when her parents got deported. It had gotten so aggressive, [she] was meeting with a school counselor multiple times a week. Her family, however, was never notified”
