As Akim Aliu asks why Subban will not "push back on rhetoric of annexation and humiliation of the very land you are born and raised in," it feels worth noting that Aliu is Ukrainian Canadian. Born in Nigeria, and raised in Kyiv, Ukraine until his family moved to Canada.

On news that the roof of the Ontario Science Centre has not collapsed under all the snow, it's a reminder of the whole giant grift. Ford closed permanently the Ontario Science Centre because DeGasperis wants that land, and Ford owes him. Vaughan Working Family helped install Ford in 2018.

All these hockey fans in DC standing in front of a mic in tinfoil hats right now talking about the #FourNations 51st State should know, just like dodging the military, your bone spurs make you too soft to play OUR game also. He’d get chewed up and spit out in a lockeroom. Stay in your lane MAGA.

This story - the Nova Scotia government's attack on the auditor general - should not be downplayed. It is no exaggeration to say that this is an assault on democracy.

Incredible stuff in here: They ID'ed him, in part, by going to court hearings and watching him post

"After PC Leader Doug Ford railed earlier this month against social assistance recipients “sitting on the couch watching the Flintstones,” several employment services workers say his system overhaul has made it harder to get those people working — & several have had to end their programs altogether"

On this day in 1942, German tanks and soldiers marched through Winnipeg. The mayor, premier and Lt. Governor were arrested. The city was renamed Himmlerstadt, books were burned and the swastika flag flew around the city. This is the story of Winnipeg's If Day. 🧵1/14
