Hey, Bluesky Canadians. The people who run Shopify are DOGE supporters. Maybe let’s not spend any money with any company selling their wares on Shopify. It would be nice (Canadian) to let the company know why you’re not buying their goods, so they have an opportunity to do something different.

Seeing some rumblings from colleagues about cancelling trips to US conferences etc because of this kind of stuff. By all means. But please don't do it quietly. Write something. Make it public. Join with others. Act collectively. Give us something we can use. Do a politics.

I have been curious if non-Americans would face denial of entry or detention for being critical of Trump on the internet. Here's your answer.

....I'm sorry? Dismount in the road and then walk across? Also apparently this sign has been here the whole time and I just never noticed? I assume it means dismount while walking over the station but it sure doesn't say that.

The United States of America is in the process of losing its democracy to fascism, in reasonable part because of the willingness of their media to operate within a truly massive double standard in how they treated the candidates. Our media owes it to Canada to NOT make the same huge mistake.

🆕 #CPC national campaign director @Jenni_Byrne says media will NOT be able to travel with the #CPCLdr during the next election campaign but promises 2-3 day advance notice on where @PierrePoilievre will be campaigning. First time CPC has done this. #cdnpoli

They didn't want to search the landfill. Too costly. Not worth it. Our people are worth more than any amount of money spent to bring them home. #MMIW #MMIWG2S #MMIR #MMIP

Doing some light reading about the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s, who in addition to inciting racial and moral terror, also liked to stack school boards with their people — a tactic that seems to never go out of style. So, run for your local school board!

Just as we made a lot more hand sanitizer and now it’s cheap enough for everyone to have clean hands, we can build enough homes so they get cheaper and everyone can have a place to live.

This association with Christian-based ultra right-wing extremism is also true of Danielle Smith's UCP Party, with its close ties to the people of PragerU. The UCP are carbon (no pun intended) copies of Trump's MAGA in USA. #neverconservative #ABC #canpoli

you know how i keep harping on the mayor's comp plan limiting density to arterials? this is the filter on a passivhaus over a block off MLK. the dirty one was replaced 24 february. 20 days. the white one is what it looks like brand new. due to road particulates, needs to be changed monthly.

If you think due process will save you from the Trump administration, think again. We've seen at least one Canadian detained for two weeks. He needed to invoke a 230 year old "Alien Enemies" act to avoid due process, then ignored a judge's order banning the deportation. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Putting the Arctic Ocean closer to the center, this brings the Greenland Canada gambit into focus. It is a grab for power, money, water, and resources, also giving the US complete control over the Northwest Passage. Fentanyl and the border are a smokescreen for a much bigger project: theft.

I mean it with the utmost sincerity that Canadians have an incredible opportunity to rediscover their own country. Those tens of thousands of people who will no longer travel to the US have an abundance of options here — rainforests, desserts, beaches, cities, skiing, eco-tourism, we have it all.

Real facts: I’m in good physical health, but if I had to pedal a cargo bike + my kids’ weight + my own I’d never make it out of the Midtown Greenway ramps. We’d just be stuck down there. 😆 E assist is a game changer, even for folks like me (no physical disabilities or health challenges).

Dear Americans: as a Canadian I don’t want to hear how sorry you are about what’s going on in your country. I want you to get mad, and stop your fall into full-blown fascism. K thanks bye.

I was just thinking of posting how much I'll miss the rebates and wondering if I will have less money because of this. (I may still have more money because of how much my job actually requires me to drive, but that was a price I was willing to pay)

Today is the 35th anniversary of the Capitol Crawl, in which disabled activists discarded their mobility aids at the foot of the Capitol steps to climb them in support of passage of the Americans with Disabilities Ac. Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins, 8, told reporters "I'll take all night if I have to!"
