Christ on a bike. The Cons have fallen into fever dream territory. Their desperation is showing with this SCTV-worthy spot that feels like the political cousin of the Steve Buscemi narc meme. #CDNpoli

Snake oil peddling quack says he will have the answer to what causes autism by September. Using a “massive testing and research effort” he'll look into already debunked theories on links between vaccines and autism. This guy doesn’t know a q-tip from a nasal swab. We await the protocol with interest

#ThePitt Phenomenal first season. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Your regular reminder that Canadaland sucks

One of the most important Canadian elections of our lifetime is happening soon, and it is crucial that everyone gets out to vote! Do you know where you can vote? When you can vote early? What ID you will need? Answer all your questions easily at the link below 🙂 www.elections.ca/Scripts/VIS/...

We need more of this from municipalities, the provinces, the feds, media, and every other public organization across the country. #CDNpoli

Every single autism diagnosis should immediately qualify a person for therapy. (Therapy should be free anyway, but that's an entirely different conversation).

Hey @brucearthur.bsky.social -- Can you help get @gtconway.bsky.social a physical copy of your @thestar.com piece so he can have it framed?

An observation: there was tons of interest in this story from French-language media and independent media (even a lil from international) but none from Canadian, English-language MSM. I wonder why. To be clear: this isn't about me -- it's about a playbook that impacts press freedom and democracy.

"One tweet from a Poilievre spokesperson created a far-right social media shit-fit that led CTV to kibosh Rachel Gilmore’s fact-checking segment Doing your job well is all it takes for a woman journalist to get cancelled in #Canada" Latest @cultmtl.bsky.social #cdnpoli cultmtl.com/2025/04/rach...

Folks, if national rent controls were something the federal government could actually do, sure. But the NDP have nothing beyond saying “national rent control”. No mechanism to do it. The provinces have had the power to enact rent control all along and haven’t so how will the NDP change their minds?

100% agree with this album review. Have been playing The Empathist pretty much non-stop since it came out. #folkmusic #rootsmusic #Americana #singersongwriter #Canadianmusic

PP refuses to get security clearance and is actively (and seemingly malevolently) preventing the media from covering his campaign. Why would any Canadian trust him to run our country??? #CDNpoli

We need to talk about @rachelgilmore.bsky.social Our democracy is not going to make it without strong journalists. Let me begin by stating the obvious: these thoughts are mine alone. They do not speak for my employers. They are personal and, at this moment, angry. #cdnmedia tinyurl.com/mwtpfbze

BREAKING: “Europe has everything it needs to make it through the storm. We are in this together. If you take on one of us, you take on all of us” Ursula von der Leyen President of the European Commission 👏

Kimberley, BC - Looking forward to playing the new album for you this Saturday*. *And let's just pretend I said 'April' instead of 'March' in this clip. 🫣 Show details: www.StephenFearing.com/tour #KimberleyBC #EastKootenay #BC #BCmusic #newmusic #Kootenays #kootenay #cranbrook #CranbrookBC

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.

If you want to smuggle fentanyl into the United States you will face a tariff … 🤦🏻‍♀️

Can someone share this w/ #CTV (who still has no ntl acct on 🦋)? They only believe in fact-checking if it doesn't create any work for them or requires them to face backlash by a gang of organized bullies. Just ask @rachelgilmore.bsky.social, if you would like independent verification. #CDNpoli

It’s stunning to me that the New York Times did not put the story on the bloodbath at the NIH, CDC, and FDA on its front page this morning.

Major failure by CTV here. The dangerous times we’re in require a LOT more basic backbone than this from the media.

I considered sharing an #AprilFools joke today announcing “breaking news” that Pierre Poilievre has completed the normal security check and finally received his security clearance. But no one would have fallen for it, and the fact that he refuses to do it isn’t the slightest bit funny. #April1st

Here are my Top 10 WORST Dogs!

Wow. Apparently it *is* possible for corrupt politicians to be held accountable for their crimes. Can someone share this with the US?

This is not a drill. This is not just Sunday. This is the ’dictator for a day’ guy publicly announcing on a storied legacy media outlet that he plans to overturn the US Constitution and American democracy as we know it.

1) Liberals are only 4 points ahead of the Cons in Canada. Every vote is gonna count! 2) Cons /Poilievre will sell us down the river to trump if they win 3) NDP voters are gonna have to make a choice- vote NDP & split the vote or join Liberal & keep Cons out. #cndpoli

My. Gawd. Dude is oranger than an Oompa Loompa.
