Any suggestions on non-American broccoli would be welcome. It is a diet staple for my chronically low iron body and I can't find a canadian or other grower in stores. Onions as well. #buycanadiam

This is Capone. He does not know why anyone would have butterflies in their stomachs when it is so much more fun to have them on your face. 13/10

This part of the Tufts declaration somehow warms my heart the most: a full-throated defense of Rümeysa Ötürk's op-ed criticizing the Tufts president, signed by the Tufts president! This is how it's supposed to be!

Prime Minister Mark Carney has the plan to build more homes Canadians can afford.

It's also the day for my favorite meme! If this aging Klingon warrior can get it right, so can anyone.

Happy trans day of visibility. I see you and I hope you’re having a kickass day. ❤️🏳️‍⚧️

Peirre Poilievre has been in parliament for 20 years and the only bill he has ever passed was a voter suppression bill. He has a net worth of 25 million dollars. He won’t get security clearance. He repeats kremlin propaganda.

There is no distinction between being a proud Albertan and a strong Canadian. 🇨🇦 #ElbowsUp

Yesterday, I fondly remembered my dear friend Leonard Nimoy, who would have turned 94. His legacy lives on in our hearts. Just days ago, Bill Shatner celebrated his 94th birthday — wishing him continued health and happiness. Live long and prosper, my friends.

At times like this, the notion of 'Canada' is not something you put on and take off like a team jersey. It's something you feel in your heart and pumps in your blood. It's a country Alberta’s New Democrats believe is worth fighting for. 🇨🇦 youtube.com/shorts/-lq1g...

The Venn diagram of people who think there’s a “woke mind virus” and those who think COVID, an actual virus, was fake, is a perfect circle.

Something special is happening, people. Ignore it or downplay it at your own peril…

At the Mike Lawler empty chair town hall in Peekskill, 102 year old Dee in danger of losing her Medicaid, heard FDR on the radio in 1935 when he created Social Security. @indivisible.org

The Onion knew. Look at the date.

Elbows up, Canada!

Today, we learned that the UCP government fired the entire AHS Board on the same day they were set to receive a report on shady contracts. Now, new allegations point to political interference, corruption, and kickbacks at the highest levels. /1

Okay, this is my newest very very favorite meme.

I’ve always thought the ancient Persians had it right — The first day of spring is the right day to celebrate the new year. Nowruz Pirooz! Navroz Mubarak!
