Bravo this sign.

@mark-carney.bsky.social - it’s time to encourage provinces to implement this. Necessary.

🚨 Rebel News lost its court battle for official journalism status. The judge found only 10 of 423 posts met the standard for real news. The CRA ruled most were opinion, rewrites, or activist fundraising—not journalism. The ruling makes one thing clear: propaganda isn’t journalism. That's a win!

It would be great to see some scrutiny of the Fraser Institute.

Everything is eugenics.

Misinformation kills.

For sure🙄

Born in 1975, I represent the one generation of women who had rights. I’m fighting for my daughters and granddaughters. Fuck this shit.

Congratulations to Canada’s best journalist @chebert18.bsky.social for being awarded the National Order of Quebec, the province’s highest honour. Well deserved. #cdnmedia

At the #Calgary airport! Awesome! #SlavaUkraine

They have learned nothing from the measles epidemic or Covid epidemic. How much do hospitalizations cost or loss of productivity.

Let me get this straight: the ucp government has banned windmills in certain areas to protect the viewscapes of the same mountains they now want to mine for coal. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hey @mark-carney.bsky.social the only ones who need to sacrifice are large corporations, the ultra wealthy. We have had enough with them not paying their fair share! If you cut programs you sure will pay!

BREAKING: We're suing Jefferson County, Illinois for putting up a nearly seven-foot-tall monument of the 10 Commandments on the county's courthouse lawn.

Poilievre would cause major violence like seen with the forcing of TMX through unceded lands. He’s a complete liability.

For the late/west coast crowd, my latest for @cba-nationalmag.bsky.social on Chief Justice Wagner's annual press conference, with his reassurances about the rule of law in Canada, and the coming changes to the Court's ceremonial robes #SCC #cdnlaw #cdnpoli

How very ironic that GOP Governors aren’t standing up for states’ rights here. I guess that only matters if you’re denying women or transgender people access to medical care. democraticgovernors.org/updates/stat...

Oil is the root of one myth regarding Ottawa's supposed hatred of the West. The misconception? That Ottawa perennially opposes the oil and gas sector and is determined to stop its continued growth. In fact, it has bent over backwards to ensure growth, to the detriment of our lands, and our climate.

A picture from a side project today - interviewing people to find the oldest, extant, in use structure in BC. That shed (constantly repaired & updated) is recorded by Simon Fraser in 1808, and was old then. Parts of it are 300+ years old, likely more - the rocks around are worn down by bare feet.

Something tells me that when the Deputy Chief of Staff at DHS tweets to his 1.3M followers that Abrego Garcia is a criminal terrorist monster who will serve a long prison sentence, that might taint the jury pool. @aclu.org

For no particular reason, I would like to use this opportunity to remind people that Canadians do not actually say “aboot”. Anyone who does that is exaggerating their accent for an American audience based on American perception of Canadian English.

Elon threatening to just leave people on the ISS is making a pretty good case for why you nationalize your space program!

Truth from PM Mark Carney… it became very awkward for Poilievre when Canada came under attack from the very people he’d been cozying up to. A little more articulate than my description of “Poilievre is screwed.” 😅

Pretty sure #Decarbonized #Pipelines is bullshit #abpoli #cdnpoli #ClimateChange www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

It’s called taxing the rich, buddy.

"who then turned around and immediately called for more pipelines." #saskpoli #Wildfires #cdnpoli

People rarely talk about the cost of these disasters, instead vilifying the carbon price that tries to prevent them in the first place. Sending love to all those affected 😢💕

💯

WE BETTER NOT BE PAYING FOR ANOTHER OF THESE GODDAMN PIPELINES, CARNEY !!! #ClimateVillains #cdnpoli #abpoli @mark-carney.bsky.social

#Wildfires. Timely feature of this Canadian art newsletter. mailchi.mp/aci-iac/wild...

Canada's energy conversation shouldn't 'start and end' with pipelines, PM Carney says PM says his plan to support energy sector will diversify industry beyond Alberta #Canada #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

It’s necessary to repeat this message. #Measles is being spread in Canada by unvaccinated people who live here.

This has to be one of the most unprofessional “news” posts I’ve seen. American media seems to be broken, seemingly wanting to be more “real housewives of Washington” than responsible journalism.

One of my smart aleck uncles pretending to be flying a shot down Messerschmitt 109 during the battle of Britain. I come from a long line of anti-fascist fighters. We all do. #elbowsup

The WA State Nurses Assn will lead w/ courage & devotion to our patients & practice. @wsna.bsky.social is joining eight other Washington-based health care organizations in a lawsuit against the federal government. They’re demanding the restoration of removed content and an end to further deletions

staging a show-and-tell about a fake genocide during a real genocide to the government that has done the most to seek justice for that real genocide is designed to break our brains. They know what they are doing. www.cnn.com/2025/05/21/w...

May 17 is the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia & Biphobia. 🏳️‍🌈 Everyone deserves to live with dignity, respect & freedom. Let’s keep building a more inclusive Canada. 💪

Prominent anti-vaxxers are now proposing instead of using vaccines to prevent disease we should in fact invent…… vaccines. In the dictionary for the definition of the Dunning–Kruger effect they should just use this tweet screenshot #vaccines

Doug Ford will most likely reintroduce legislation that will make being homeless in public criminal. At the same time, we are facing myriad impacts from tariffs that could destroy people's livelihoods. Homelessness is set to get worse; it shouldn't be criminalized. www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

Good op-ed from @michael-byers.bsky.social: www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

I don't give a rats ass what Netanyahu has to say about Canada for speaking out against his war crimes. Genocide is NOT defending ones country. I am proud of my country and my Prime Minister for speaking out against Netanyahu's atrocities
