If you want to share your concerns with CBC about the “51st state” Cross-country Eff-up, I’m told the emails to use are [email protected] and [email protected] for the ombudsperson and editor in chief respectively

First trip of the season is booked. :)

Did we lose a war? Why is Ian Hanomansing entertaining this nonsense. Why is he framing this as a possibility, let alone a genuine dialogue? Trump is using economic warfare with the stated goal of ending our independent existence, and Ian thinks we should explore it neutrally over brunch?

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

When something doesn’t make sense, you have to ask why. The reasons as stated for this special episode of cross country checkup don’t make sense. Who benefits from this simulcast across the US? I don’t have time but I hope someone will pursue FOI on the planning of this edition.

Nah it's still shite.

How sweet that some of you are just now learning that Cross Country Check Up is not good.

Once again the public steps in where the city (and bonehead drivers) fail. www.reddit.com/r/toronto/co...

This is 💩 for the same reason those "Make America Feminist for Once" or "Canada is not for sale" (in the same font) hats are 💩. You think you're doing something subversive, but it's a rhetorical tool that plays into the hand of the oppressor because you are ultimately still advertising them.

Updated version. H/t to @ladyscorcher.bsky.social

Freedom of press means freedom to ask this question, which is fine. It's his right. But freedom of speech means the rest of us get to compare the choice to French media discussing the benefits of a Vichy collaborator government, minutes before the actual Nazi invasion.

While some are mimicking the appeaser Chamberlain, I’m so proud of those of you who are channeling this guy* #CanadaSky *photo taken at Canada’s Parliament by Canadian photographer, Karsh, as 1.1M Canadians were fighting against Hitler for over 2 years, but the U.S. hadn’t joined the fight yet.

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

Skipped the gym today to try to free my car from snow jail. May be almost there. Shoutout to neighbour driving by and giving me this bucket of salt.

IMPORTANT! Charlie Angus has initiated a House of Commons petition to get the Canadian gov't off of X/Twitter. Sign here (I see 3,990 signatures so far): www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

Every time I'm a hospital visitor or patient, I leave feeling so grateful for caring and capable medical professionals and a system that lets people receive treatment without fear of medical debt or bankruptcy. Our health care system is worth saving, Ontario. Please vote accordingly. #OnPoli

Open notes have improved my experience as a patient too. Hard to believe patients didn’t get to participate in their own care in this way years ago.

@corruptario.bsky.social have you seen this project? I didn’t realize how many MPs are also landlords (I think you probably already knew this). ismympalandlord.ca

They’re not safe here either.

I cancelled my prime membership a week ago after seeing this. I needed a textbook shortly after and went to some trouble to order it from a different source.

Grapefruit tastes even better than I remembered. I nearly cried it was so good. #TamoxifenVacation #BCSM #CYP3A4 @thankscancer.bsky.social

Noble. Konrad Adenauer-level stuff, keeping the city/Cologne together while shit was falling apart outside and people were coming for him.

Flying without a mask makes no sense to me. Why not arrive at your destination and then back home healthy? Flights are something people won’t miss even if they’re feeling unwell and the air is not as clean as the Delta CEO claims it is.
