Hey my friends. If you're in the area of Elora Ontario and have an interest in the golden age of 80s family action comedy, The Gorge Cinema is screening The Goonies @ 2pm Saturday and Sunday. Not sponsored but I believe going to cinema is an essential part of life May the Force be with you.

If you have ever wondered what a Trans Rights Activist™️ is, it just means that you are trans and you have expressed any opinion about your own oppression other than full compliance

Union election pro tip. If you spend your speech dressing down other candidates or talk about how we are in competition with other workers you'll be at the bottom of my list. Bargaining teams I look at your resume. Show me what you've done. Executive I look at your passion. Show me what you can do

Doug Ford insults First Nation people. He says he treats them like "gold" but says they keep coming back for more. Come to Treaty 9 Doug. See what your gold has bought in overcrowded homes, underfunded schools, and bad water. The Boss Hawg routine might stoke your base but it is racist as f--k.

I can't tell if the truck stop women's room with a stick figure feminine drawing saying "lady's only" is being transphobic, or if its because there's two single stall washrooms and trucking is heavily male dominated and guys will piss on the seat over actually lifting it.

There's a thread on AskReddit asking, "People who have had to drain their life’s savings on a single event, what happened?" 99% of the answers are depressing American stories about medical bills, 1% is an Australian who found a wombat burrowing under their house.

Ok not to be stereotypical but I haven't played magic the gathering in 15 years and was casually looking at playing again and now apparently people all play 100 card decks or something? What?

Donald Trump arrived in Canada and demanded that Russia be admitted into the G7. He falsely claimed Canada had Russia kicked out. He refused to work out a deal with allies on the Middle East crisis and he left town before President Zelensky showed up. Surprised?

Anyone feeling less intimidated after that parade? Seriously the ROTC (radically outrageous twirling corps) are in better lockstep.

Amazing. On a GO train and we get an announcement saying that the yellow emergency strips in one particular coach don’t work. The suggested solution: in case of emergency, move to another coach Tepid take: don’t put into service coaches without functioning alarms

Israel: "if only Iran hadn't retaliated, we wouldn't be in this mess.* This has very "look at what you made me do" vibes. And before you scream "rhetoric", ask if Canada should preemptively attack the US, a nuclear power that wants to eliminate us
