Representing #Canada: @deadder.bsky.social

Just felt like sharing this #hockey gif tonight for some reason. #Canada🇨🇦

Trying hard not to get a “Parting Glass for America” feel from #SNL50.

#Canada is not broken. We are progressing. We are proud, humble, strong, and free. We are united. We will not submit to Musk and Trump. We will remain. Video — The Flag That Unites Us youtu.be/iq2AooGZPw4

This weekend is the #GreatBackyardBirdCount Please take 15 minutes and count the birds you see wherever you are in the world, and upload it to www.ebird.org . Helps with conservation data and is a great way for kids (and others) to learn about and appreciate wildlife. @birdsoftheworld.bsky.social

With #Elon endorsing Poilievre, let’s keep #Canada out of this toxic ecosystem. #Cdnpoli

Never should have stopped calling these people weird. It’s a truth that resonates. www.kivitv.com/downtown-boi...

Don’t know whether to laugh or cry

When powerful governments disintegrate, there is a scramble for their expertise. #Canada, the #EU, #Australia, the #UK and others need to start hiring these discarded US scientists and security experts immediately. These people need to work, we need to give them the opportunity to work with us.

Sidney Crosby is the greatest living Canadian. #4nations #canada

“Unelected government workers are bad for democracy” - Unelected #Musk

People are going to learn real fast how many ways the government kept them safe. #Trump and #Elon are going to endanger a lot of lives in both obvious and subtle ways.

At minimum.

If #Trump wants to make banking regulations the central issue of the tarriff negotiations, there is literally nobody more qualified to lead #Canada than #MarkCarney. He’s ready for this moment. #cdnpoli @liberalparty.bsky.social

Hey if anyone is considering backing up any datasets for some reason today, the Open Science Framework has free storage up to 5G/private repository, and up to 50G/public repository. (The OSF is run by a 501c3 (Center for Open Science), so if you do this you might also consider making a donation.)

President Reagan warning of demagogues who would start trade wars with America’s allies. How far #Trump has degraded his party and his nation. #CanadaIsAnAlly #cdnpoli @lincolnproject.us

Tech bros being introduced to the other side of training a cheaper offshored replacement. #Deepseek #AI www.ft.com/content/a0df...

Liberals saying “history will remember them poorly” is pointing to the same imaginary referees that they have been appealing to since the Gingrich era. Nobody is coming to make everyone play by the rules. #Trump doesn’t give a shit for #history - start fighting for today. #FightBack

Powerful documentary on @pbs.org tonight about the Jewish Ghettos in Poland and Lithuania. #Resistance is an important concept to understand these days - it takes on many forms, and courage is the key to them all. www.theyfoughtback.com

Liberals pull ahead in Atlantic Canada (you’re welcome, Canada), and into a statistical tie in Ontario. #MarkCarney and the @liberalparty.bsky.social have the momentum. #Cdnpoli

One of the cooler things I've seen in my travels. These goats spend the day hanging out up in the tree like owls. You should see then scamper up there. #Morocco

Created a #Bluejays #Starterpack. The baseball kind, but I like the other kind, too. @wilnerness.bsky.social @bnsbaseball.bsky.social @torontobluejays.bsky.social go.bsky.app/HMgkcg1

@bluebirdbanter.bsky.social Hey Tom, put you in a #Bluejays starter pack. go.bsky.app/HMgkcg1

Absolutely lame, and entirely fitting for the NFL. www.theverge.com/2025/1/22/24...

In #Canada, the opposition forms a “shadow cabinet”, and assigns one elected member to be the watchdog of each Cabinet portfolio of the government. @schumer.senate.gov , @amyklobuchar.com , @warren.senate.gov , @adamschiff.com and other #Democratic Sens need to get on this asap. Hound them. #FIGHT

Day one of #Trump 2: #PresidentElon sets the agenda and steals the spotlight, pulling ahead in their never-ending race to the bottom.
