Pierre Poilievre has racked up endorsements from a who’s who of fascists, fraudsters and alt-right influencers cultmtl.com/2025/02/pier...

I’m an adamant supporter of our national broadcaster, but this isn't #CBC’s finest hour. This premise should never have been entertained. This isn’t an innocuous discussion point or difference of opinion. Trump is threatening our national sovereignty. We should treat it as such.

ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention? www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

Almost everyone in Denmark and the Netherlands has a family doctor. Timely access to a GP, primary care teams listed as some of the highlights. Here's what Canada can learn, by @stephaniedubois.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/radio/whitec... via @cbcnews.ca @casinoshiftmd.bsky.social

The vast majority of Canadians don’t trust the opinions of Jordan Peterson, Elon Musk and Joe Rogan — all of whom bait incels with misinformation. Pierre Poilievre has racked up endorsements from a who’s who of fascists, fraudsters & alt-right influencers | @mtltoula.bsky.social

“Elon Musk has allowed neo-Nazi and far-right sites to flourish on X. He’s also spent considerable time criticizing the Canadian PM and our government, while heaping praise on Poilievre.” @mtltoula.bsky.social h/t @jeff.doctor cultmtl.com/2025/02/pier...

Elon Musk may or may not have performed a Nazi salute during Trump’s inauguration, but he’s definitely allowed neo-Nazi & far-right sites to flourish on X. He’s also spent considerable time criticizing the Canadian PM & our government, while heaping praise on Poilievre. cultmtl.com/2025/02/pier...

“At some point, does it become obvious that a lot of morally objectionable and politically dangerous people are supporting Poilievre?” cultmtl.com/2025/02/pier...

The ‘Gulf of America’ feud is about something bigger. The Trump punished the AP for choosing its own language because he wants to control the media. The press must show unity, by @sulliview.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... via @us.theguardian.com #journalism

Triste nouvelle ce matin. Une personne autochtone en situation d’itinérance retrouvée morte dans le centre d’achat Alexis-Nihon au centre-ville. 🕯️ On vit une crise humanitaire à Montréal, mais on ne ressent pas l’urgence de la part des autorités. montreal.citynews.ca/2025/02/20/h...

Le cours de français dont s’est mêlée la ministre Pascale Déry n’est pas de nature à jeter de l’huile sur le feu. C’est un cours de littérature faisant partie du Peace Certificate, créé après la tuerie à Dawson pour inviter les élèves à une réflexion critique sur la paix.👇🏽 lp.ca/mvd6XG?shari...

I can’t believe this is from the official White House Twitter account. What a clown show. Depressing and dangerous times.

This is insane. Congestion pricing is already reaping results: car traffic into Manhattan is down, travel times have improved, and public transit ridership increased. Trump is backwards on everything. I hope the MTA fights this. gothamist.com/news/trump-m...

"Le futur TGV Alto reliera Montréal et Toronto en 3 heures alors qu'il faut +de 5 heures à bord des trains actuels. Le trajet Montréal-Québec prendrait environ 1 h 30 plutôt que 3 h 25." Enfin!! Espérons une inauguration avant 2050 et un service plus fiable que le REM.
