Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"

Please file a complaint t if you agree that the CBC should not be hosting a show about canada becoming the 51 state jointly with American broadcast org NPR cbc.radio-canada.ca/en/ombudsman...

There is currently a petition in the House of Commons to revoke Elon Musks Canadian citizenship. 33000+ signatures so far: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... #Canada #cdnpoli

Sending an email to employees asking them to list five things they did that week is a classic move from a manager who has no idea how to manage

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

Deer My Friends The Odditor General says I spent 103 milliun tax dollurs on ads that prahmoted my party but since my teem doesnt let me to talk to the meedia these ads are the only way I can tell you what a all-star goverment I have since I haven't actually uhcomplished anything in 7 years Premair

“Ontario's top bureaucrat is admonishing PC Leader Doug Ford and his staff for allegedly trying to use his Washington D.C. trip last week to the party's advantage in the election campaign.” Time to stop calling Doug to the Principal’s office like this. Time to expel him once and for all.

Blatant extortion. And Ontario needs to rip up the Starlink deal immediately. www.reuters.com/business/us-...

The Ontario election is a week away — time flies when you don't have time. Here's a thread of what @thenarwhal.ca's Ontario bureau has been working on in the lead-up:

“While the campaign is expected to cost tens of millions of dollars, the province is refusing to say exactly how much money is being spent on the ads, including Hannity, one of the highest-rated U.S. cable news shows.” Doug’s new campaign slogan should be The Government is Refusing to Say.

Just add this to the long list of Doug doing things Ontarians never asked for.

Doug Ford isn’t winning elections because Ontario loves him. He’s winning because voter apathy is doing the heavy lifting for him. This and more thoughts in my latest post at my new Substack post! open.substack.com/pub/thismomr... #ONpoli #TOpoli

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

The boycott is working on both sides of the border. Keep it up. Do not bend to the oligarchs.

“This idiot, Pierre, keeps saying that EI and CPP are a tax. They’re not.” “Pierre is trying to get you to defund the programs that you need because it will give a tax break to the wealthy.” “Don’t listen to Pierre, he’s an idiot.” Entire video: vm.tiktok.com/ZMkWG3aGU/

Mike Crawley CBC Queens Park - Why are Ontario taxpayers paying for hosting Doug Ford's speech in Washington D.C., glossy brochures and a last night's networking event during a $189M snap election? #cdnpoli #onpoli #peipoli

Re-subscribed.

Poilievre, clad in bespoke suit, dropped off by his personal chauffeur, having first enjoyed breakfast prepared by his personal chef at his taxpayer funded mansion, whines about Carney wearing expensive shoes that Carney bought with his own money.

I received a response from Elections Canada over my call for an investigation into Elon Musk and the potential to use the X algorithm to interfere in our election. Elections Canada has a voluntary code of good behaviour for platforms. This is not good enough. Our democracy must be protected.

That’s nothing. I found 13 contracts awarded to SpaceX since December totaling $77M. 1/

As someone with an actual PhD in geography, I am utterly disgusted with Google for this. What a joke.

If Doug Ford doesn’t re-cancel his Starlink contract with the ghoulish Elon Musk once and for all, he deserves to lose this election for that reason alone, never mind all the rest. 🙄🤔🙄

When people ask me what tools I use to create my political images, I tell them PowerPoint and rage. #OnPoli #NeverVoteConservative

A swastika t-shirt is the only item on the Yeezy website. Powered by Shopify. It's not the first time Shopify has powered stores selling items with Swastikas. I've reached out to them about this before, and they kept powering the stores. The only thing they changed, eventually, was their rules.

If we re-elect Doug Ford, you can toss your Health Card. Your credit card will take its place. Vote like your health depends on it; because it does. #onted #cdnpoli #NeverVoteConservative

The gap between First Nations and non-First Nations life expectancy in Alberta is 19 years, and wider now than any other point on record. This is a provincial and national emergency. #ableg www.stalbertgazette.com/local-news/f...

The myth of America is gone for good now that the entire world has witnessed the fragility of their democracy, their unbridled oligarchy, their untrustworthiness as an ally, and their lack of any meaningful resistance to tyranny and fascism.

As more people buy Canadian, these farmers are reaping the benefits Local connections a 'silver lining' amid international trade war #Ottawa #Canada #BuyCanadian #BuyLocal 🍁 Keep it up Canada, this is great for our local businesses. Don't stop!! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I believe!

Doug Ford didn't even protect Ottawa during an occupation. He hid in his cottage. What makes anyone think he can, or will protect Ontario against Trump and Elon Musk? Even now he contracted a company Elon Musk has to put up satellites. Don't trust him or any Conservative to protect you or your job.

The stereotype of the lone entrepreneur in a garage is outdated. Real innovation takes teams, networks, and communities. Let’s celebrate the collective effort behind every breakthrough.

I read this on dark days for a little solace.

I don’t need or want a tunnel or a bribe cheque. I need and want a family doctor and timely access to healthcare. Vote Ford out! #onted #onpoli #NeverVoteConservative
