🍁PLEASE SIGN CANADIANS🍁 the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the Prime Minister to revoke Elon Musk's dual citizenship status, and revoke his Canadian passport effective immediately. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

It took 4 hard years to regain the respect of the world and just 4 weeks to lose it.

Outside of the overt grotesqueness of the trump administration outsourcing concentration camps, he is forcing the countries that are housing concentration camps, and those who are being removed from the country to take part in and be a party to war crimes he is literally making everyone accomplices

Next week on #CrossCountryFuckUp, we speak to the ghosts of Bernie Madoff and Lou Perlman about β€˜unconventional’ investment strategies. β€˜Some people’ might get upset, but we think it’s important to understand both sides and really examine the pros and con(vict)s.

This is what it looks like when you just don't get it. The damage of normalizing has already been done. Later, when CBC apologizes for this and "defund the CBC" campaigners use this as ammunition, remember that they could have cancelled it in the face of the uproar. Vimy, not Vichy πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦.

Prediction: A lot of the scientists from the NIH and NSF who were fired by Elon Musk and DOGE will be offered jobs at one of Musk's companies ...... At a fraction of the pay.

Donald Trump says Canada has no right to exist. I take the threat seriously. With our sovereignty on the table I support a national discussion on next steps. But CBC thinks it would be fun to have an American DJ co-host whether we should exist as a nation. Fuck that @ianhanomansing.bsky.social

He’s in a desperate hurry to become the first trillionaire.

In Canada we do not need 20 bullet proof cars and secret service to protect our leader. He can sit with his people. We are CANADIANS. We are truly free.

Unreal. The US government is dumping Asian and African families and children in random countries that they have no connection to. Dumping, not "deporting." Deportation implies the return of a person to their home country. This is treating people like toxic waste. www.cbsnews.com/news/us-depo...

Saw this video and had to share. This was at the Bell Centre, never heard it so loud, this is Canadian unity πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ #CanadianUnity

Feels like a good time for a little reminder: Countries aren't supposed to be run like businesses. Countries are supposed to spend money to support and serve their people. This means spending to support those living below the poverty line, the disabled and historically 1/

The NIH announced it will slash billions of dollars of support to universities and research centers. This is one of the biggest attacks on science we have ever seen. It could dismantle the biomedical research system, shut down clinical trials, and halt development of treatments.

The person keeping you from dying from Listeria is a federal employee. The person making sure your plane doesn’t fall out of the sky is a federal employee. The person busting up drug rings is a federal employee. The person prosecuting terrorists is a federal employee.

Hello everyone! We are ScienceUpFirst, an initiative of the Canadian Association of Science Centres. Our goal here will be to address online misinformation on a broad range of topics in a clear and succinct way! 🧠

Get all the vaccines you need NOW

I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans. And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump. It tells me a lot when I see you regularly bash our side but say nothing, ever, about the other. Reflect on your choices. You may be helping the fascists.

In my work I write about countries that endure coups. I am now writing about my own country being destroyed by a technical putsch. What is being done at the Treasury and USAID is part of the process to force the US from democracy to authoritarian dictatorship. And we're only at the end of Week 2.

ASM, IDSA? How about hosting CDC infectious disease data and documents?

So in the end Poilievre's response is hand Trump a PR victory in the hopes he'll be nice to us. FUCK THAT, once you give in to a bully you only emboldens him

Product of Canada, Product of Mexico signs going up all over our local grocer. Shoppers looking at labels and putting back items that say USA People are angry and actively resisting with their wallets #CDNpoli #USpoli #Tariffs #BCpoli

Embrace the messy in your garden! Biodiversity needs structure - it doesn't like 'tidy' places 🌏πŸ§ͺ

Hi all, This is the first week we'll be posting the full Canadian COVID Forecast thread on Bluesky instead of Twitter. We'll post a link to the Bluesky thread on Twitter, so you can still find it. @battlingbeaver.bsky.social will post it for me on Monday, once @allenescott.bsky.social translates.

Re: NYT & co being excluded from White House press briefings in a nazi-style propaganda move by Trump: How is this not a good thing? @nytimes.com & co. needed to quit their toadying access journalism long ago, skip the White House nazi puppet shows, and fight fascism or die. (I'm not optimistic)

My friend who works for a health agency calls to tell me that he expects to be fired soon, and when I ask him if he’s going to be okay he goes very quiet and then calmly states β€œI don’t think any of us are going to be okay.”

Been a minute but @theresisters.bsky.social are back with Episode 100! See you this Wed. Jan. 29 at 8 pm ET, as we welcome @kprather.bsky.social & @lieslmcconchie.bsky.social to talk about the state of scientific research, wildfire dangers, good humaning & more. **ZOOM link to be posted Tuesday!**
