Surely this new video won't make me seem like a crank. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEJp...

This is basic sysadmin shit...

Today’s the last day to vote in Ontario’s advance polls. I just voted, and as always, it was quick and convenient. If today’s a better day for you than Thursday, which is election day, then do make a plan to get out and vote before the 8:00 PM deadline. #onpoli

One more…. #fucktrump #canada www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

You mean “the comments” that are a repeated, action-backed, direct threat to Canada’s sovereignty? Or is that “banter”? Is it “Double-Cross Country Checkup,” Ian? Will there be more on this from the Capitulation Broadcast Corporation this weekend, or is “Quirks & Quislings” still in development?

If CBC were Polish, in 1935: "With Chancellor Hitler repeating his desire to annex Poland, we feel it is important to talk about. Even better, for Germans to hear our voices via Nazi SS radio that will be simulcasting." #cdnpoli #CBC #NPR

Here’s how to vote in Ontario. You don’t need a voter card, just government ID with your address on it. www.elections.on.ca/en/voting-in...

WTAF? One continuous unelected power grab after another.

My city's mayor tonight 😂

On news that the roof of the Ontario Science Centre has not collapsed under all the snow, it's a reminder of the whole giant grift. Ford closed permanently the Ontario Science Centre because DeGasperis wants that land, and Ford owes him. Vaughan Working Family helped install Ford in 2018.

Doug Ford Claims There Are ‘More Cranes’ Building Homes Than Ever Before. Actually, The Number of New Home Builds Has Decreased Under Ford. There were 74,326 housing starts in Ontario in 2024 –that’s 25,000 fewer than the peak in 2021. pressprogress.ca/doug-ford-cl...

“No kings, only trains”

Who says conservatives aren't preparing for climate change? Shitface here is already set for rising sea levels

Yes yes yes yes yes!!

A win for copyright holders! This ruling found that using materials under copyright to train AI was not fair use.

I see why Ben Folds resigned

Because of course he would

Mere months ago, the following words would have seemed wildly hyperbolic: Canada🇨🇦 must strengthen its defences vs. the US, fast. Our democracy + sovereignty is in serious jeopardy. We only have a few months to get going. Luckily, we can learn from other small democracies, like 🇫🇮+🇸🇪+🇳🇴, with long… 1/x

Aviation’s first responders save lives. Listen to your Flight Attendants.

Weird oath but okay.

"Meta has spent over $100 billion on VR"

Moderator: "You have the weekend off, where do you go?" Doug Ford: "I never stop working." #onpoli

Travelling home from Muskoka today was one of the worst drives I've done in recent memory. Terrible road conditions, high winds, whiteouts, and scads of reckless drivers are one hell of a combination.

if i were flying i would simply get on a plane that was not going to crash. you have to ask at the gate

holy shiiiiit

Doug Ford commercial in heavy rotation tonight, jabbers about “when Ottawa descended into chaos, he stood up, stepped up for us.” I beg your pardon? The closest Ottawa came to chaos was during the chud convoy and I distinctly remember Ford was nowhere to be found. He went snowmobiling.

So. My new car likes the snow. Would've been a good day to use the 407...

I'll celebrate flag day when more than 13 of the 94 TRC calls to action have been completed. Even under the current situation, nationalism without acknowledging & dealing with colonialism & genocide in our own country is just colonizer nonsense.

I did not realise that these flags were a reactionary move by bitter conservatives

Hey, if you love Canada you should look into Starlight Tours and why the RCMP was founded! It's pretty...interesting stuff. No wonder why they get called the friendliest country in the world!

During his speech at the Munich Security Conference, Zelensky stated that he would not remove the issue of Ukraine's NATO membership from the negotiation table, and also remarked that it seems as though Putin is the most influential member of NATO, holding the decisive vote.

We need to talk about the fact that for all the garbage there is in this world, there's some surprisingly enjoyable kids-oriented music out there (I'm not only talking about the Fisher Price piano tunes).

BEST Valentines ever #TheExpanse

Doug Ford pictured moments after he's told there was no Valentine's Day card from Donald Trump in the mail for him today.

I will never not read/pronounce DOGE as "doggie" and I hope you will do the same.

Someday the useless fucks from IAEA will learn to say who launched the UAV or “increased military activity around Zapotizhzhya NPP”, but that day is not today apparently. A perfect illustration of “neutral” and “apolitical” organization being complicit and morally bankrupt. #UkrainianView
