Wow, there truly is an app for everything now! 🇨🇦

Let this sink in.

Just been informed I've won the international Satyrykon Legnica [Poland] Distinction Award for the cartoon below. The folks at SatyrykonLegnica asked me to share their link. I'd like to thank them for the honour. satyrykon.pl/protokol-jur...

If you’re #TeamCanada, pass it on.

The #tradewar is on. Real-time electricity prices doubled few minutes after midnight EST in New England. 🔌💡

A brilliant Banksy.

This is not the time for politics as usual.

I am actively switching out apps. Nili instead of Gmail for webmail, cloud to sync, DuckDuckGo and Ecosia for Google, and most painful of all for me, byebye Amazon and Kindle! That one hurts.

Trudeau: We’re probably going to keep booing the American anthem. But let me tell Americans, we're not booing you. We're booing a policy that is designed to hurt us.  But we're Canadian. We're going to fight. And we're going to win.

Ok, Canadians. You know what to do. Tighten our belts. Strengthen our resolve. Show our unity. Demonstrate our national pride. Support our real allies. Put Canada first forever and always.

I just signed a petition demanding the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry Ban X/Twitter in Canada. Join me in signing here: you.leadnow.ca/petitions/ba... you.leadnow.ca/petitions/ba...

Unbelievable news. Pancreatic is one of the deadliest cancers. New paper shows personalized mRNA vaccines can induce durable T cells that attack pancreatic cancer, with 75% of patients cancer free at three years—far, far better than standard of care. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Long-dormant Toronto airport reborn as wildlife corridor. Rouge National Urban Park will grow by thousands of hectares, preserving part of a wildlife corridor connecting Lake Ontario to protected land northeast of Toronto. buff.ly/4kltWnu #ShareGoodNewsToo

Sometimes you need to take a break from The Horrors...and look at this BRAND NEWLY DISCOVERED LIL' PLANT. Lookit this little GUY! A lil desert guy. Isn't it just amazing to realize we're discovering new species all the time still! www.npr.org/2025/02/26/n...

Americans may not get Myers’ “elbows up” gesture but Canadians and Gordie Howe fans sure do.

Gotta admit this is kinda fun gulfof.mapquest.com

Trump Blocked Federal Scientists from Attending Latest IPCC Meeting: What Now? blog.ucsusa.org/delta-merner...

MUST WATCH: It's not just about Ukraine. It's about the rules and the VALUES and the principles of sovereignty, of independence, of territorial integrity that protects EVERY country in the world. youtu.be/fB2oQLYTRDc?...

For the record Pres. Zelenskyy has thanked the United States and Americans - 33 times to date including in an emotional speech to Congress.

5% of the world's #mineral resources are in #Ukraine, totaling nearly $15T in value #titanium #graphite #lithium #beryllium #carbon #manganese #iron #uranium #zirconium #polymetallic #RareEarth #minerals #materials #mining #geology #visualization #DataViz […] [Original post on federate.social]

Holy shit!! So that's what all the fuss is about with Ukraine. They have minerals that Russia wants. Trump tried to back door a deal to get them with a side deal with Putin to jointly exploit Ukraine. Zelensky sabotaged the plan. All these innocent people are dying because of these 2 greasy MoFos.

Kill the #Starlink deal in Ontario and kill it right now.

I will always associate America to these men who came here on 6 June 1944, landing on Normandy beaches. They came to liberate us from Nazism. None of them wore a suit. Many of them paid the highest price for our freedom. I hope I can say again, one day: “I know. This is who you are, America.”

It’s insane to think that the Trump administration was more welcoming this week to the Tate brothers than to the President of Ukraine.

Exactly

On this day in 1899, Charles Best was born. He worked as Sir Frederick Banting's assistant and is often overshadowed by him in the story of the discovery of insulin. In truth, he played a critical role in the research. Let's learn more about his life! 🧵1/12

This is historic. Like watching the Avengers assemble to protect against orange Thanos 🫤 #AxisOfDemocracy #FreedomAlliance #StandWithUkraine #cdnpoli

This! 💯

Please enjoy my cartoon for Thursday's Toronto Star

It's amazing what can be accomplished when a government is working for the best interest of its people!

We certainly know what that means now. Imagine all the damage Fox News has done and continues to do. Why do propagandists get a license to broadcast?

Strategic voting is needed in Ontario!! We need FORD to be done!!

😑😭 hopefully covid wasn’t just a test run because we failed

No one has more disdain for the people they are meant to serve and represent than Conservatives. If they won't show up for debates, they won't show up for you at all. #OnPoli #NeverVoteConservative
