Rope, hang thy self // “But now I understand they’re all one company,” he said of the two different Therme firms. “I guess they’re a larger, stronger company, but they’re going to look into this obligation & find out & make sure that all the T’s are crossed & I’s are dotted,” the premier said. //

The “prevention of autism” leans way too heavily into eugenics. It’s not a disease, so it doesn’t need preventative measures. It also just really sucks to read.

Perhaps I'm not the only Canadian who gets nauseated by PP's voice in the Cons' election tv spots and mutes the sound -- just saw one where they've replaced his weaselly voice with a generic VO. #CDNpoli

Please, @bsky.app, any chance you'll be adding the 'remove follower' feature soon? I'm tending my account daily and hate having to block, but it's the only option at the moment. #Bluesky

Poilievre is saying that unless we do consecutive sentences for multiple murders, you get “4 years of jail time per murder.” “That’s insane” he says. It’s actually a lie. They don’t get out. They get a hearing, and the murderers he’s talking about don’t get parole in Canada. He’s rage-farming.

Our mourning doves are back and appear to have built a tiny new nest on top of last year's larger nest. I think this is mom as a much larger dove was waiting nearby on our shed roof for their regular nest-duty shift change. #spring #SWOntario

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

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?

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

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.

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
