I see a lot of you are worried about your stocks so I’m glad I invested all my money in the one asset that will NEVER decline in value: tulips

Did you know? Chromosome testing in sports has been done before and was stopped because cisgender people repeatedly learned that their chromosomes didn’t match their assigned sex. — Something the “XX and XY only” crowd seems to have forgotten.

Carney: "The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over."

my takeaway from reading this is that i have to assume that every half-competent intelligence agency in the world has an almost real-time glimpse into what the white house and the pentagon are doing

a much more imaginative deviation from the “haha they’re gay for each other” theme we’re all sick of

Shouldn’t Doug Ford win a single downtown urban riding before he spouts off about people voting against bike lanes?

Ontario voted for continued decline in health care, education, smart infrastructure, and competence, but an increase in places to buy booze. And the Ontario Liberals choosing Bonnie Crombie was an absolute self-immolation.

WTF Ontario. Kiss your health care goodbye. Start saving your dollars. You're headed for US style health care.

McDavid, the god. That's what he's waited for

CONNOR MCDAVID 🚨 THE NEW AGE GOLDEN GOAL! CANADA WINS!

I have a theory the asteroid is gonna hit us in 2032, but they’re just warming us up to it so they can sell merch and tickets to the live streamed crash on Apple TV

CBC's wall-to-wall coverage of this crisis is another great example of why we should value Canada's public broadcaster

Dear Canadian Friends and Neighbours, It’s February 1st, 2025… which means we buy Canadian products and avoid American products. Be kind, be caring, be polite, help others… be a good Canadian 🇨🇦 Love, Your Neighbour P.S. American friends… sorry. Stay strong, stay hopeful and keep fighting.

Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.

signs you’re being time grifted - outrage take + screenshot to news story + no link - outrage take + photograph that appears to conveniently capture some sort of “can you believe this?!” point + no attribution - outrage take + “why is no one talking about this” + link to news story

PROTECT ONTARIO from... - Ford's mismanagement of healthcare - Worsening affordability - Inaction on the housing crisis - Wholesale sell-off of Ontario land to Ford's backers - Destruction of public assets - Interference in local governance - Boondoggle handouts to industry

It's been a week. The shock part is over; the awe part never happened. Time to be throwing sand into the fascist gears, y'all.

If Doug Ford is serious about doing more than cosplaying Captain Canada, he'll reinvest in Ontario's post-secondary system, to support the world-class research we're already conducting and to give a home to the soon-to-be displaced US-based academics. We'll see.

Traditional Western allies of the US should be working fast to put together their own alliance in the face of a more aggressive, transactional, and frankly imperialist US administration. The longer they wait, the worse things will get.

The Breakdown is reporting that the UCP have been funding Keean Bexte to the tune of $12,000 a month. And not with party funds—with public funds. Your money.

$250,000,000

Canadian conservatives this is what's happening to your party. Foreign funding has hijacked your party and sabotaged your chosen leader in favour of the US Oligarchy movement. #CdnPoli

Jefferson Prayer is now muted for seven days

Re-scatting just to be sure this gets out

If it's impossible to understand how do you make a stand on her being a hero or not?

Holy shit

I busted my phone so I'm trying this from my desktop like a boomer

Leafs just lost but had a wonderful day today and I have a cat hanging out with me so all is well.

Um, America, if you hear loud cheering from across the border, please be patient with us. We're celebrating Jordan Peterson emigrating to your country. No take-backsies.

I’m 100% ok with gatekeeping incels. If you can’t handle a woman being the protagonist or a non-white person being the protagonist of a video game, I don’t think you deserve to play games.

All jokes aside it's really fucked up to see so many people on here celebrating murder. No one here is the judge of who deserves to live or die. That's the job of the AI algorithm the insurance company designed to maximise profits on your health and no one else

Response to coups by elected leaders: - South Korea: blocked by mass mobilization of citizens - Brazil: coup leader indicted, barred from politics - United States: coup leader re-elected with majorities in the legislature and a compliant Supreme Court

South Korea was able to restore democracy and undo the martial law order because people reacted quickly and decisively. That’s how you protect democracy.

Staying to block people who whine and pull quote headlines from the NYT as engagement farming. Still blocking those who do this with Twitter. Fun!

Day 2 of the #ArtAdventCalendar Maybe I could call this "Not quite like the northern lights"

at what point do we realize yelling at the NYT is a fruitless exercise and there are better uses of our energy?

The opportunity squandered is staggering...

Perfect

Liberals are right-wing. They need to stop calling themselves the left or even centre. The centre of the spectrum is social democracy. Liberals aren't socdems. The centre of our main parties is the BQ, who votes like the NDP/Greens as well as the CPC - usually depending on jurisdiction. #cdnpoli

“how optimistic are you about the Leafs this year making it beyond the first round?” me:

I think the main problem with bluesky so far is people who are big on Twitter tallying up their followers here every few days. Who cares!
