Jeffries: hey the GOP controls the government, absolutely nothing i can do, gonna work on my personal book tour Sanders: brb i am going to personally barnstorm strategic GOP house districts and try to peel off 2 votes so we can block Trump's cuts to Medicaid www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

You mean “the comments” that are a repeated, action-backed, direct threat to Canada’s sovereignty? Or is that “banter”? Is it “Double-Cross Country Checkup,” Ian? Will there be more on this from the Capitulation Broadcast Corporation this weekend, or is “Quirks & Quislings” still in development?

Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project www.thetrevorproject.org

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

I’ve posted my thoughts on the independent members caucus proposal, that was made public last week, on my Facebook MLA page. If you have feedback for me on this or any topic, please reach out! www.facebook.com/100090952046...

NEW --There's this guy in the executive branch who in less than a month has already spent NEARLY 11 MILLION DOLLARS of taxpayer money playing golf. Yet the whole thing has flown under the radar of the crack waste/fraud/abuse squad over at DOGE somehow. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

The theatre kids are alright.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

There’s been so much interest in from US 🇺🇸health workers and jobs in Canada that I’m posting recruitment links for all 10 provinces and 3 territories: 🧵 #healthcarejobs🇨🇦

Time to evict AirBnB from your life, if you have't already.

"Canada is well positioned — with more soft power and diplomatic capital than almost any other country — to wield anti-corruption as a weapon that leverages pressure against Trump’s destructive tariffs and anti-democracy agenda. You have the tools. Use them." thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

Without going all Martin Niemöller here, I do think that it's bad not to speak up for immigrants, transgender Americans, civil servants, women, Ukraine, and everyone else the MAGA bullies are going after. We're beyond picking and choosing whom to defend. It's time to stand up and speak out.

Happy National Flag Day! 60 years ago we raised our flag for the first time. This flag stands for a place where everyone is welcome. Regardless of whether your family has been here thousands of years or whether you’ve just arrived, it’s a reminder that you belong here.

Canada's oil and gas enthusiasts are cheering Donald Trump's attack on renewable energy. Here's why it will almost certainly backfire -- on them. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2025/02/14/o...

Did the NWT pay any part of this? Disgusting to think any province or territory put money in the pocket of Don Jr’s ‘hunting buddy.’

Also, Canada should buy TikTok and turn that algorithm on Trump’s fat ass.

Good morning to this man, and this man only #bbcqt

Oof 🥶🥶🥶

👏👏👏

Happy #WorldRadioDay! As a kid, I fell asleep & woke up with the radio on—plus, I was that guy calling in requests every night. Now, I host Wayback with KMac Saturday mornings on Cabin Radio in Yellowknife! Despite what corporate shill says, radio’s viable—when done right, it’s thriving!

CLOSE THE BORDER! (kidding not kidding)

Instead of Google search try DuckDuckGo Instead of Chrome try Firefox Instead of Gmail try ProtonMail Instead of Google Docs etc try LibreOffice Instead of Google Photos try Ente For every Google product there are multiple replacements you can try. The above suggestions are just examples to try

Day 2 of CRTC’s public hearings on @cabinradio.ca’s FM licence application. Fingers’ crossed for a positive decision.

My fantasy basketball team could use RJ and Eby.

I'm sorry but saying, "I'm not going to sleep in Nazi-land anymore, but I'll keep a room," isn't good enough. I've seen this from numerous progressive journalists and orgs, using the excuse of 'archiving for posterity's sake.' It's weak and reeks of obeyance. Delete accounts on X, full stop.

Quebec has a 3 yr, 130M Starlink contract that expires Jun '25. They are exploring CDN options now. (Aside: article suggests that there would be no financial penalty for Ford to cancel the 100M ON Starlink contract because deployment had not yet begun). www.montrealgazette.com/news/provinc...

The gap between First Nations and non-First Nations life expectancy in Alberta is 19 years, and wider now than any other point on record. This is a provincial and national emergency. #ableg www.stalbertgazette.com/local-news/f...

Smart! Now travellers have a comfortable place to sit and wait when the security line stretches all the way to Quiznos.

Very proud of our team at AEA for all their amazing work fighting climate change and high energy costs in the NWT these past few years. #energysky

New map tracks NWT’s attempts to save energy The Arctic Energy Alliance launched a map that tracks the impact of energy-saving projects on communities across the Northwest Territories.

If there really is a heaven and hell, holy shit are there ever a lot of so-called 'Christians' that are in for a blazing hot afterlife. 🙏
