Yes. Fkn yes.

Having a moment of Heavy Anxiety due to post-election subscriber loss haha wheeeee It doesn't help that people loudly declare they're unsubscribing every time I criticize Carney (when policy sucks, it sucks! I'm sorry!) Incredibly grateful for those of you who have stuck around ❤️

Rachel is one of Canada’s best journalists. Her style is new but her ethics are old. She’s always spoken truth to power & she’s a much needed incorruptible voice in a shrinking #cdnmedia. Please consider subscribing and supporting her. You know how critical I am, and her reporting is always solid.

One of the Russian strikes on #Kyiv last night. Ukrainians live through that - and the very next morning, we go to work, kids go to schools, life goes on (we have to, we cannot let Russia win). Our resilience never ceases to amaze me, honestly.

And we will roast 🔥 the shit out of anyone trying to rehabilitate him. No one will ignore his Nazi salutes. I understand the fear but men who want to support Elon will no matter what we say. Today is for popcorn 🍿.

I so wish there was more about how this is a threat to everyone in Ontario. "Ontario Premier Doug Ford's government has given itself the power to suspend provincial and municipal laws" Yes First Nations are and should be outraged. We ALL should be outraged. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This 👇 Ontario screwed up in February. Now we have to work to rein in Ford.

Ford and his minions give themselves more power to incur more environmental damage so they can get richer www.aptnnews.ca/national-new...

You don’t even know what we’ve lost, do you?

The is the matching set to Ontario’s Bill 5 making Canada a police state: www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

Thou shalt not tie up children in zip ties and then deport them, for that maketh thou a MONSTER. A MONSTER! THE PEOPLE DOING ZIPTYING CHILDREN ARE MONSTERS!

This.

Ah, the ole' "I for voted for it before I voted against it" gambit, how very John Kerry of Empty Greene?

Please enjoy my cartoon for Tuesday's Toronto Star

When law-enforcement officers need to hide their faces from the public, it's a sign of something ethically & morally very wrong happening in society.

Yes - Please read this 🧵 (It's not too long!)

Did anyone really think that electing a convicted felon and sexual predator would somehow lead America into a new era of promise? The TACO bell is ringing loudly and we're still only 5 months into the shit show.

Awesome 👏🏼 Now do our news media

“The doctors that we are talking to are embarrassed to say they’re Americans,” said John Philpott, CEO of CanAm Physician Recruiting. “They state that right out of the gate: ‘I have to leave this country. It is not what it used to be.’” kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

As Europe joins the movement to ditch U.S. brands, one thing still standing up for Canadian culture? The CBC. Public broadcasting protects our stories from corporate takeover. Choose sovereignty. Choose CBC. #SaveTheCBC #CBCForever #CulturalSovereignty #MediaMatters

And this is with an Indigenous Premier, that’s how bad it is 💔

Why does Poilievre always have to be a dick about everything? Government emergency response is a dedicated group at all levels, & to suggest the federal government is not willing or capable of rendering aid without Poilievre dogging on them is insulting &, dickish. #PoilievreIsADick #NeverPoilievre

Some confusion between cause and consequence here.

Yeah…it really doesn’t matter what the US does now. So ignorant thinking it’s just about the tariffs. We’re done with you at least until you get rid of this whole regime including the enablers in congress.

Trump is such a bare faced liar. Before Qatar legally transfers the jet they want it understood that it was Trump that begged for the plane. What a pathetic little bitch.

Capital gains tax? $859 a year is nothing. And there hasn’t been a “middle class” for decades! Tax the hell out of corporations and the 1%. Not seeing you implementing an #IndigenousTax for all the “Build! Build! Build!” You want to do! Are we supposed to give it away for free? 🪶😡

Do Canada’s premiers and our new government need an education in the treaties with Indigenous peoples? It would appear so. #Indigenous #Canada #Alberta www.theenergymix.com/first-nation...

@dsamichael.bsky.social shared this. I agree.

Apartheid Elon chaotic stint in the Trump administration ends in flames. Clashing with key cabinet figures like Rubio & Duffy, Musk’s reckless “efficiency” crusade gutted agencies but alienated leaders. Now he’s fleeing back to Tesla as his political ambitions implode www.reuters.com/world/us/elo...

Everyone except Dallas.
