Every woman on the planet has sat across a table from a guy with this expression. An office meeting, a government office, a loans officer, a cop, a prof, a doctor, a teacher, a spouse, a father. A mediocre man enjoying a modicum of power. Let’s make sure we vote like we remember that feeling.

PS there's no better time than now to double down on feverish support of local and Canadian products. Be conscientious of what you are purchasing. Where is it from, is there a suitable Canadian replay if it's from abroad? We gotta back ourselves.

Well, well, well... Looks like Trump's guest list of grifters is full and Premier Danielle Smith didn't make the cut. After weeks of undermining our nation Danielle has to take refuge at the CANADIAN EMBASSY to watch it all on TV. Surely there's a Starbucks with the screen on that she could use.

I saw that Liberal sources had told Global News they felt Trudeau had pulled the party “too far to the left” and they seemed to think that was the problem with his leadership If that’s the takeaway the Liberals are going with, they are incredibly boned

My favorite Christmas song is “What Child is This?” because the title sounds like a person is pissed that someone brought a kid to their party.

I disagree with the PETL minister who says there's no need for paid sick leave in our province. And saying "we'll study it" is not acceptable. We introduced a paid sick leave bill last year but the government turned it down; it's now time for the current government to act. 1/2

🙋‍♀️I consider abortion a good option, and a social good writ large! Pregnancy is not a punishment for contraceptive failure or contraceptive lack or contraceptive refusal. I am pro-abortion, period. Same as I'm pro-chemotherapy, pro-insulin, pro-root canal, pro-pap-smear.

Jesus fucking Christ can we not turn on Sarah McBride? She was put in an untenable position. I don’t agree with her choice, but watching yall turn on her with your hot takes? Disgusting, actually. We don’t have to be like this.

Today is #TransgenderDayOfRemembrance. This year, we remember 350 trans people who were murdered. In the past 15 years, more than 5000 murders are documented, most of them trans women of colour in the Global South. We mourn the dead. We fight like hell for the living.

"Importantly the court confirmed this duty of reconciliation is a "legal duty, not just a moral one on the part of the Crown." A precedent setting decision. A proud day for the rule of law and respect for the Treaties our ancestors signed with the Indigenous people of New Brunswick.

The Liberals require every candidate to be pro choice, the CPC does not. They are working to make abortion illegal, which everyone should care about because a) it’s a human right and b) eroding abortion access is a step towards fascism.

We're about a decade in to this weird narrative where apparently centrists will always be driven right by us on the left but are somehow magically never driven left by the far-right.

Some friendly advice to new Bluesky users: Please fill out your profile info as much as possible so that people know who you are. Otherwise, you look like some anonymous bot, which is the exact reason people are fleeing "the bad place".
