We kicked holocaust denier Ernst Zündel out of Canada. Why the hell would we let Elon Musk have any claim on Canada? He is a fascist threatening the people of Ukraine. I am proud to be helping drive this asshole from our shores. www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

Haben Sie Geduld und kommen Sie zu uns nach München, wo wir Ihnen unsere große Vision und die vielen Vorteile erläutern, die sich daraus für das Sudetenland ergeben werden!

Out of touch Hanomansing on another Canadian issue. Take a few patriotic lessons on Canada 🇨🇦 from Charlie Angus. Remember how Ian treated Canadians that disagreed with Bonnie Henry? The disdain from him towards us was disgustingly palpable. Maybe time for CBC to relieve this quisling.

Oh my god, how are y'all still not getting this? The title of the program is using and normalizing Trump's phrasing. Before the program has even aired, it's already functioning pro-annexation propaganda. You have already demonstrated a lack of care.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Why is CBC selling us all out? ‪Ian Hanomansing‬ has already been grossly irresponsible by trivializing other subjects (like the covid pandemic) on his Sunday show, but even including his misogynistic behaviour on X, turns out I could still have an even lower opinion of him. THIS is so messed up:

Could CBC cancel Cross Country Checkup already? This episode for sure for sanewashing Trump, then the entire show.

It’s odd how COVID-safe people tend to frighten or alarm people more than COVID itself does.

One of the most beautiful birds of all. I’ve not found a species of vulture that I don’t think utterly beautiful. #vulture #beautifulplanet #wildbirds #birds

This is Horatio, he lived at The Hawk Conservancy in Hampshire. He is part of a European project to breed and release birds into the wild. The last time I was at the conservancy Horatio had gone elsewhere to find a mate. I thought him stunning #vulture #bird #birds #birdsofbluesky #sony

Meta could have solely funded the ENTIRE WORLD'S 2022 CLIMATE FINANCE GOAL instead of this

Anticipation is building at Willow Tree Fen. This crane family is still together but we're expecting the juvenile to be chased off any day now as the parent birds lay claim to their territory ahead of the breeding season. Other pairs are also showing positive signs of nesting again. 📷 David Roberts

Worst. Episode. EVER.

The consequences of the illegal shutdown of USAID:

Can’t wait for Ian Hanomansing to play the victim and say that he’s being attacked by the conservative haters on…*checks notes*… Bluesky for Canadians being angry that he provided validity to the idea of Canada’s annexation.

Nina Simone. Born this day in 1933. Ink, pencil and watercolour drawing from 2018.

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

Heh Ontario- still think Star link is the way to go?? Look at this! 👇 #onpoli #canpoli

Note: Today’s earthquake was not within the Cascadia subduction zone… This was a shallow crustal quake that will have no effect on “the big one!” That said, another important reminder that we live in earthquake country! #Earthquake #BCQuake #BePrepared

This magnificent Red-shouldered Hawk LANDED RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME and perched there looking for a meal EVEN THOUGH I WAS ONLY 20 FEET AWAY!! I am still stunned and thrilled. And also chilled! #birds 🌿

All this Canada flag waving and how many of you still can’t manage to put on a mask in public to save your neighbour’s life? Without being told? Please be serious just once

Implying that the fascist overlords are gay/trans as a form of ridicule is not actually helping, funny or lefty at all. It's fucked up actually.

Haven't seen a bird yet today? Post a bird to make up for it. (Snowy Egret being fabulous) #birds

I'll trust AI more when it's smart enough to start managing its own efforts. "No, I won't write a song about kraft cheese singles in space. That would be stupid."

Years ago we were in the EI office to apply for maternity leave A guy was at the window next to us He had cancer, he had no idea how he was going to pay his bills The staff were sympathetic and said they could definitely help him This is what Poilievre is cutting when he claims EI is a tax

Finished s5 of Lower Decks recently & have preserved this snapshot of the show on to my phone because it is a visual poem that speaks to me on a molecular level

When you find a trophy snack and absolutely must bring it back to the colony

Obviously this is bad and very stupid, but the tenor of this kind of Trump communique is very funny to me. It's a real HOA energy, just someone being annoying and small who knows they're being that way, and who more or less sees that as both their highest personal calling and the purpose of the job.

I’m so tired of disabled people being left behind in almost every way. In education, in economics, in diversity, in equity, I could go on. With things shifting and society uprising, disabled people are usually the last to be thought of. I can’t tell you how traumatizing it is to be abandoned.
