Sound familiar Canada, we cannot allow this POS anywhere near the Prime Ministers office. Liberal Party ad #Canada #PoilievreIsJustLikeTrump #cdnpoli

This is the biggest Canada/Russia game since the 72 Challenge Series. 🇨🇦 🇷🇺 🇺🇸

There’s been so much interest in from US 🇺🇸health workers and jobs in Canada that I’m posting recruitment links for all 10 provinces and 3 territories: 🧵 #healthcarejobs🇨🇦

This piece is excellent. Take a few minutes and give it a read. Annexing Canada would initiate am insurgency that would destroy the US, argues UofT professor Aisha Ahmad. theconversation.com/why-annexing...

Canada. True. North. Strong. Free. Always have been. Always will be. Why? Because we detest the dog eat dog ideology of the American right. In Canada we look out for each other. And no thug from Mar-a-Lago will make us change.

F**k shopify I’ve never used it, and certainly never will after learning more from this deep dive.

“A new analysis by independent automotive blog FuelArc suggests that fire fatalities are 17 times more likely in a Cybertruck than in the infamous Ford Pinto — the posterchild deadly cars if ever there was one.”

This is so cool…

Weimar and the Superbowl - here's my latest reflection on how we got where we are and how we can get out of it. Fascism is on the move and we have to make clear choices to protect democracy and an inclusive society. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Birders/avian scientists built strong bonds over on the old Twitter - we so enjoyed sharing with its vibrant community. In the last year most of that community moved to other platforms, esp. here on BlueSky. We will now concentrate our outreach efforts here, and hope it remains open, fair, and fun!

Here's a fact most Americans don't know: The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) is the largest purchaser of wine by dollar value in the world. The LCBO has shut the flow of all American beer, wine, spirits. We will drink "Freedom wines" from our allies and beer from our communities.

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

Former Prime Minister Kim Campbell has signed the pledge for Canada. She joins thousands of leaders, artists, activists, Canadians who will resist the gangster in Washington. Have you signed the pledge to stand up for our values? True.North. Strong. Free. actionnetwork.org/petitions/pl...

Let's all say it out loud. These people are fascists & this is a fascist take-over of the United States. You can couch your words more carefully, but the speed and ferocity of what is happening now is part-and-parcel of a coup. The GOP in Congress has surrendered. The Dems are out of their depth. 1/

I spoke to a talented junior scientist who just got a good faculty job offer in the US and they told me “well I wouldn’t move to 1930s Germany either” so that’s how that’s going

Wow. 🔥🔥🔥 This new bombshell Oxfam report is exactly what billionaires don’t want us to know: Apparently 60% of global billionaire wealth comes not from entrepreneurship… …but from inheritance, corruption, cronyism & monopolies. Share the truth:

The resistance is happening. It's all around us. Let us celebrate and share the big acts because it helps us to understand that small gestures also matter. There are only two sides now. Those who are complicit in evil and those who resist.

This article is pretty hilarious - the thought of domesticated moose is crazy… Imagine if the Coen brothers brought this story to Film… www.cbc.ca/amp/1.5369308

Dems would get much more traction finding and promoting people saying what they know and experience. What has more impact, This man speaking his mind or the Dems speaking “in unison “ ?

I love this so much! At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions. This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

Please please please watch this. Please.

If you think Poilievre wants to help the working class, you have been fooled into thinking that, here is a list of recent articles over the past two years showing who he really wants to help, large corporations, lobbyists, millionaires and billionaires. #PoilievreIsLyingToYou /1
