It’s Election Day in Canada. This election is more important than any in my lifetime. If you haven’t already, vote today. It’s your last chance. If you voted already, check in on friends & neighbours and help them get to the polls. In a democracy, it’s not a privilege, it’s our civic duty.

If it's possible for you and a few others in your communities to band together now and to start planning back to school free stores, children's clothing swaps, school supply giveaways etc... definitely do it. There's going to be a lot of need.

We three voted and poll was gratifyingly busy. About 4-5 ppl deep in each line but moving briskly. Of course, that meant we also got ice cream because that’s the rule. 🗳️ =🍦

“As Canada rapidly approaches “super-aged” nation status, with Canadians aged 65+ soon comprising nearly a quarter of the population, it is critical that our government be prepared to meet the needs of older Canadians.” Read the open letter from RTOERO: rtoero.ca/canada-needs...

I believe the Europeans being a little more independent and a little more willing to stand up currently is what will save Europe, the Nordics and hopefully Canada from the lunacy of this regime.

A year today since my Mum died. How can it already be a year? How can it only have been a year? Time and grief both are wibbley-wobbley.

Proud of this little act of resistance inspired by #seattletroublemakers and made with care in Seattle by an all-volunteer cast & crew. Big thanks to @alexwinter.com for the most excellent narration! And @laceyleavittgray.bsky.social for asking me to direct! 🙏 #teslaregretsyndrome #crewtopia

Make sure you understand the SAVE Act, which will seriously suppress voting rights, not prevent fraud as its sponsors claim.

Reminder as we watch measles rates climb in Canada that this is Poilievre's attitude towards vaccination during a public health emergency. MMR vaccination has long been mandated for health care workers. Would a Poilievre govt ban the MMR mandate in health care during a huge measles outbreak?

There is in fact no way to make a case for a moral or political obligation to have children that does not degrade the status and dignity of women by claiming ownership their bodies as instruments for collective use.

The past several days have been a bit of a roller coaster. Mum went into care Apr 2 a year ago. Today marks a year since the day she was declared palliative. It’s also the last day I spoke to her in person.

Ok so I’m late to the #NorthofNorth love - but oh my bob, the music! The colours and clothes! The KNITS! It’s such a great show all around. Watch it on @cbcgem.bsky.social preferably (CanCon FTW) but it’s also on the Flix of Net in 🇨🇦.

I am very disturbed at the size of a Poilievre rally yesterday in Kitchener (filled an airplane hangar). It’s so hard to get out of one’s bubble! I’ve been hearing so much Carney positivity that I need reminded: IT IS ESSENTIAL TO GET OUT THE VOTE AND GET AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN TO VOTE TOO!

this is a staggering amount of money to build camps—suggesting that building & running a gulag will be the primary function of the otherwise gutted Trump-state in last fiscal yr: "D.H.S. allocated about $3.4 billion for the entire custody operation overseen by ICE" www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/u...

This is fascinating: On the pod, @kedseconomist.com cites the example of a US manufacturer of board games to explain what's wrong with Trump's tariffs and why unleashing so much pain and turmoil to restore manufacturing is an incoherent goal. Transcript here: newrepublic.com/article/1937...
