All that the former twitter platform offers users now is crap and ugly crap. Why would anyone want to be there.

(From Radio-Canada) Today marks the beginning of Chantal Hebert’s career in journalism. On April 25, 1975, she started with the regional Radio-Canada station in Toronto, where she grew up and went to university. It was also her 71st birthday yesterday! A national treasure!

This 338Canada chart maps the different poll results. The results are tight and within the margin of error as the last advertising blitz is underway. Don't assume your vote doesn't matter. Let's vote like our country depends on it. Every vote matters, every riding matters. 🇨🇦 #cdnpoli #canpoli

According to some morons, since the NIH and CDC are being defunded, the future of science funding is… ***squints*** GoFundMe. We’re absolutely fucked.

Canadians across the country are rallying behind a petition to revoke Elon Musk's citizenship. He wasn't born in Canada. He represents profoundly anti-democratic values. In Canada citizens can present these petitions to Canada’s parliament. I support them. charlieangus.substack.com/p/musk-doesn...

They didn’t “evolve” to become pin ups of the right, trad wives started as a far right sub culture, then “evolved” to become glossy influencers & now are embedded. A far right idea of womanhood in the mainstream www.ft.com/content/89be...

We tried to tell everybody... it was right there in print and they're doing it all.

This needs to be said repeatedly: The Canadian fascists, racists, bigots and Nazis who shrieked about Justin Trudeau being an autocratic dictator over a *single* *invocation* of the Emergencies Act to rid Ottawa of violent, law-breaking insurrectionists are nonetheless huge fans of Donald Trump.

Hmmmmm ... here's Ezra, insisting that Rebel News had to shell out $9,000 in "legal fees" ... except the Debates Commission has already *admitted* it granted accreditation to Der Rebel because it was "afraid" to take the case to court. So, yeah, grifters gonna grift.

CPC commercial: "How's your son, David?" "He's had a tough few years, can't seem to get ahead." "Well, maybe if he hadn't stolen his employer's big rig, joined the Freedom Convoy, driven to Ottawa, had the truck impounded, and gotten arrested and fired for grand theft ...". "Fuck you."

"Unless it's a gang of violent 'truckers' descending on Ottawa ... then screw your hard work and affordable house on safe street, because I'm going to bring them coffee and donuts and you can live in fear for three weeks."

The federal Conservative Party’s incomprehensible decision to reject 30-year MLA Mike de Jong as a candidate looks like it is going to haunt them. www.timescolonist.com/opinion/les-...

"I think I probably could still easily be leader of my party if I wanted to. I mean, I’m de facto the founder of my party,” Mr. Harper said at Stanford in 2017, but explained he chose not to amass too much power in order to secure the party’s fortunes in the future. #Elxn45 #cdnpoli

At the last moment, the Conservative hopeful for North Island-Powell River constituency announced cancellation of tonight's all-candidates debate. But Jennifer Lash (Liberal), Tanille Johnston (NDP) & Jessica Wegg (GPC) came to talk directly to voters anyway. cheknews.ca/north-island...

Canadian MP Michelle Ferreri showing her true colours. A total video full of profanity. Cursing and swearing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKdI... #cdnpoli

I like how corporate media thought one lady helping some students organize their campus was a more dangerous threat to Democracy than the mayor of NYC being in a group chat with a bunch of billionaires telling him where to send the riot cops

This story is going to get hate (mostly from people who won't read it), but like pretty privilege, it's a thing. "every U.S. president going back to 1981 has been taller than six feet." I don't care about Carney's height but this tall girl is all kinds of impressed he's cool with a taller wife.

The Water Companies are pouring the money for infrastructure into their own pockets by charging 11x what it costs.

At the SHPK-Fort Sask forum the other night, Garnett Genuis made a point of saying that "Carney says one thing in English and another in French." And it's good to remember they are always telling on themselves when they do this.

I rarely critique people by their looks but dammit, how is RFK Jr. selling his grift on health when he looks like the meat in the supermarket marked 30% off?? 😡

Federal Police has initiated … i-Police, integrating American and Israeli algorithmic … software …. the lack of transparency regarding these practices is glaring …. information [databases] contain is often biased or unfounded …. systems are known to reproduce and exacerbate structural inequalities”

I mean, do you want the answer to that last question? Because as an Asian-American, I can tell you unequivocally that the answer is yes. White conservatives think *all* POC are interchangeable.

God help me I laughed at this 😔

Harper, Smith, Pollievre share the same far right ideology as these anti-vax Republicans

The CBS co-anchors expressing their heartfelt respect for resigning “60 Minutes” producer Bill Owens at the conclusion of tonight’s broadcast was a nice gesture, but doesn’t obviate the network’s craven abandonment of its core journalistic principles in capitulating to Trump’s Mafia-like extortion.

Controversial son of late Mississauga Mayor Hazel McCallion, Peter McCallion, says the "Do You Believe The Polls" Instagram group comes from the Meadowvale Business Association in Mississauga, led by the founder of Gaming in Ontario. Very odd. #cdnpoli www.barrietoday.com/2025-federal...

Facebook is flooded with desperate and deceptive 3rd party Conservative ads masquerading as news aimed at Liberal voters. Look for images of Carney with a "news" headline of a so-called speech or statement, sometimes with a CBC logo. Report them. #cdnpoli

The Conservatives must be desperate to have re-animated Harper to inspire their shaky base. #cdnpoli

Another reason to protect Canadian milk markets: "The US Food and Drug Administration is suspending a quality control program for testing of fluid milk and other dairy products..." #cdnpoli www.reuters.com/business/hea...

I think it is a tactical mistake to release your costed platform last. The criticism that follows will be what people remember. #cdnpoli

Having failed to win over voters’ minds with his plans and promises, the new game for Pierre Poilievre will be to trash Mark Carney — the classic far-right politics of personal destruction. The process has already begun. Michael Harris writes. #CdnElxn2025

I would genuinely pay good money to see this

“Where Did You Sleep Laat Night” from Nirvana Unplugged, is still, to my mind, the best live performance & recording of any song ever. I appreciate any dissenting opinions with receipts. youtu.be/hEMm7gxBYSc?...

A very plausible presentation.
