Now this was something to see. Prime Minister Mark Carney paused at twilight to lay flowers and pay his respects at the site where 11 people lost their lives in Vancouver 24 hours earlier. #yvr #Filipino #AmazingGrace #vigil #respect #cdnpoli

Interesting that US Govt spending per capita is considerably higher than it is in Canada, and roughly equal to that of Germany and Sweden. Yet Americans have no social safety net, no health care, dental care, pharmacare, child care ... I have to assume that it's all on the military and prisons.

Pierre Poilievre named #1 spreader of disinformation in Canada by ChatGPT. Even Elon Musk’s Grok has named Poilievre as the Canadian politician spreading the most disinformation on X. #cdnpoli cultmtl.com/2025/04/pier...

Doctor here: Canadians, PP would form a government as harmful to public health and rights of children, women, seniors, people with disabilities, 2SLGBTQ, Indigenous people, and minorities as the dumpster fire in the US. Polls don’t count, your votes count. Monday is election day. #CanadaStrong

Conservatives are anti-porn but the biggest porn consumers, anti SW but frequent customers, anti-SA & paedophilia, but rapists and child abusers frequently turn out to be conservatives, anti-gay but frequently are just in the closet. I have to assume that anti-trans is because of a kink, not morals.

The Conservatives have run a bad campaign but the NDP have probably run the worst campaign I can remember.

A new social media site/app - gandersocial.ca is now accepting signups for beta testing. (Not sure what it will be like but I like the idea of a social media company that's not owned by, threatened by or based in the United States & stores its data in Canada).

The strike on a "well known" United Nations compound last month left one employee of the organisation dead and forced the UN to temporarily reduce its staffing in Gaza.

This headline is deeply misleading- presumably to feed American exceptionalism. China said that if the US wants to end the trade war, they should end all unilateral sanctions- they don’t appear to be “pushing” for anything.

Pete Hegseth just ordered the installation of a makeup studio at the Pentagon for him to prepare for his television appearances, which will cost thousands of taxpayer dollars to build.

That's why he's reducing embassy staff and cutting USAid projects - to remind them how important they are.

US investors (including the big brokerage houses) are as delusional as the QAnon Maga crowd. The IMF lowers global GDP growth estimates by a full point BUT the treasury secretary says that a deal with China will probably be reached 'eventually' so the stock market goes up.
