This is actually so crazy. I used to lived down the street from the governor’s residence in Harrisburg, it’s right in the middle of town. Used to take my kids trick or treating there. Glad they’re safe but very bold escalation of stochastic terrorism in the US. Not good.

Why doesn't msm call the arson attack on Gov. Shapiro an attenpted assassination?

Mark Carney’s 'Canada Strong Pass' gives youth under 18 free access to galleries, museums & VIA Rail w/parents, plus discounts for Canadians 18-24 on travel & camping this summer. 🌞 Canadians are uniting to explore beautiful 🇨🇦, with more choosing to stay home. 🍁 #Vote2025🗳️ #CarneyforCanada

BREAKING: The Heard Island legal team will offer Pro-Bono work to the US Administration. The below is just the start, there are also joint record deals in the works, with remastered songs such as “Where the islands have no people”.

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

It’s time to build supply chains that begin and end in Atlantic Canada. Let’s grow here, build here, ship from here. We’re not a hinterland—we’re a hub. #peipoli #nspoli #nlpoli #nbpoli #cadpoli

NEWS: Consumer sentiment PLUNGED 11% this month to a preliminary reading of 50.8, the second-lowest reading on records going back to 1952. April’s reading was lower than anything seen during the Great Recession.

$5,000 fine, 6 months in jail, or both. That's what could happen if you're a Canadian that unfortunately finds yourself in the USA for more than 30 days and haven't submitted a G-325R form to the US government. 🇨🇦, it's just not worth traveling to the USA.

Canadians take it personally when you don’t like poutine. They argue that you clearly haven’t had the right poutine, you’ve only had second rate poutine and don’t know how good it is. You point out no country on earth serves poutine other than Canada for a reason. This is when they become angry 😠

I’m thinking it has to be Miss Rachel

If we had a society that made housing a human right and embraced neurodivergence and queerness, addiction medicine wouldn’t even be a speciality anymore. Somewhere there’s a timeline where I’m a baker or a candlestick maker or something. 🧩 🌈 🏡 👩‍⚕️ 👩‍🍳

Spending my day off work relaxing watching the new season of Handmaids Tale 😬 So relaxing 😥

Really happy for the penguins 🐧 They stood firm and Trump 🇺🇸 backed down 🫡 Congrats 🍾 @heardislandgov.bsky.social

I hate how much room narcissists take up in our heads. I’ve spent years trying to figure out why my insane ex does what he does and now we all have to do it with Trump. It’s the abuser colonizing your mind. It’s a false sense of control, a desperate need to believe we can survive. It’s exhausting.

NGL that White Lotus finale has me craving pina coladas 🍹 🍍 🥥

Trump is talking about sending drones into Mexico with the excuse of going after cartels. This is an act of war. He will try the same thing with Canada. We need to be ready. Elbows up. 🇨🇦

It sounds like it came right from a Russian propaganda playbook.

Mark Carney says he has 'seen this movie before', and believes that the US economy is heading for a Brexit-style downturn www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/us-...

Baby chicks were never an appropriate Easter gift for children, but especially not now with the spread of Bird Flu. 🐣 Get a toy chick and sponsor a rescue bird instead! www.merrymacfarmsanctuary.org/meet-the-birds

I work in a clinic next to a WalMart. Like, we literally share a wall with them. And it occurred to me today none of us go there anymore. We all run out throughout our shift to get things but now we go elsewhere even though it’s significantly less convenient. Because America. #ElbowsUp 🇨🇦

Can't stop thinking about my Lithuanian friend who told me that she remembers the first banana she ever ate as a young child, after the fall of the Soviet Union. Because before then, they didn't get imported fruit. So bananas remind her of freedom.

My mother actually did cancel Christmas one year and she had no regrets. Because she chose not to remember it happened. People like Trump (and my mother) construct reality to suit their needs. And it sucks for the rest of us.

Liberals promise to make national parks free this summer as Canadian travel to the U.S. dries up #Canada #FederalElection #cdnpoli #MarkCarney www.ctvnews.ca/federal-elec...

What's happening with the Venezuelans who were disappeared by U.S. government secret police and sent to a gulag in El Salvador really, really is some "first they came for" shit. And just like in the poem, most people are shrugging it off.

One of the reasons companies prefer to operate in other countries is that they don’t have to pay for private healthcare anywhere else other than the US. Give Americans single payer healthcare and you’ll save employers a lot of money

China is giving big “to the left to the left, everything you own on a box to the left” energy right now

I am reminded of a study which explored morality among NT and autistic people, and concluded that NT people tended to do the right thing more often when their generosity was known, and ND people did the right thing regardless. The conclusion of the study was that ND people were rigid. Yeah, right

This is footage of my Great Uncle Gordon MacNeil on Sept, 4, 1939, the morning after war was declared. He put on his uniform and called on the young men of Iona, Cape Breton to go fight tyranny. And they went. Many still lie in the fields of Italy or northern Europe. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIOW...

US Envoys arrived today and are pleading with our leaders to refrain from imposing retaliatory tariffs. We initially denied their pleas until their ambassador returned wearing a suit and thanked us for existing.

This 104% tariff on China makes me think it’s only a matter of time before Trump nukes someone. He is an out of control megalomaniac tyrant. No way he can resist the urge to push the red button.

Mark Carney’s Liberals to protect Canada’s Nature, Biodiversity, and Water A Mark Carney-led Liberal government will: Conserve nature and biodiversity, including by creating at least 10 new national parks and marine conservation areas, and 15 new urban parks; #FederalElection #Canada #cdnpoli /1

A new Liberal government will move forward with 10 new national parks and marine conservation areas along with 15 new national urban parks.

If you know anyone planning to get their child live rabbits for Easter, please talk them out of it. Tell them to get a stuffed toy and sponsor a rescue bunny instead! 🐇 www.merrymacfarmsanctuary.org/meet-the-bun...
