RFK Jr. is absolutely enraging me rn with his ‘autism epidemic’ BS. I cannot handle the blatant lies and rampant misinformation spewed by this ableist asshat with brain worms.

Oh we’re doing Satanic Panic again??

I had to lockdown my account over at the bad place because my husband is running in the Canadian federal election for the Liberal party in Quebec. Lots of reasons, but the most important things is that you VOTE! Vote for whomever you like but please VOTE!! #elxn45

In which your child sends you a picture of a piraña she caught in the Amazon during a field survey.

Ran into a great Canadian at the rink the other day.

Husband passed on his horrid head cold to me. Huzzah 🙌😖

Kiddo is in Peru on a school trip and they just declared a state of emergency in Lima with military on the streets. Luckily she’s on the Amazon so, not IN Lima, but will have to transit back through. 😖

Americans don't trust Trump's economic policies but they look at the Dems and shake their heads. Here's a simple solution: Dear Democrats... hold Canada's beer. We'll show you how it's done. www.axios.com/2025/03/16/t...

Government irresponsibility has consequences. The UCP’s junk science and fearmongering have eroded trust in vaccines—now, measles cases are rising, and kids’ lives are at risk. This is completely preventable. Parents, get your kids vaccinated.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

CBC science show Quirks and Quarks just had another great episode talking about the long term damage caused by each COVID infection. If you're starting to wonder why so many hard-core scientists are so contemptuous of our public health institutions, listen to this. www.cbc.ca/radio/quirks...

A possible Carney ad?

A Christian liberal arts university in the heart of B.C.’s Bible Belt has responded to allegations that the son of its president runs an influential white supremacist X account.

It was a bit cold this morning 🥶

Ok, that’s enough snow now thanks.

One of Canada’s foremost defamation experts says a sweeping interim injunction granted by an Alberta judge against the Breakdown, a popular web-based political commentary show, “is vulnerable to either being set aside or significantly modified” in a court hearing Friday thetyee.ca/News/2025/02...

Yay

Way to go Ontario. Way to stick it to yourself.

Canada looking around rn…

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Just a bit of snow to clear today….

Question: where did this stereotype that Canadians pronounce ‘about’ as ‘aboot’ even come from? I know regional accents and all but is this like a prairies thing? I nor anyone I’ve ever met IRL pronounces it this way.

So. Much. Snow. ❄️

Sooo, now might be a good time for a Canadian Forces recruitment drive?? No?

On the top of the CIBC building in downtown Windsor facing Detroit. Canada is not for sale! 🇨🇦🖕🏻🍁

Time to brush up

So, how confident are you flying into, through, or from the US right now?

Hmm... It has been brought up by some EU officials... that 🇨🇦Canada🇨🇦🍁should look to join the European Union to broaden it's trade relations is a non-American direction. There is nothing in the Canadian constitution that would prevent this from proceeding if we chose to do so.

Taking care of our neighbours.

They say that 1939 Britain stood alone against a despot. That's not true. Canadian kids were signing up in the thousands. We were there to defend British skies. Now Canada stands alone in the face of despotism.and there is crickets from our European allies. But we've got this. Canada. #strongasfuck
