A report on Poilievre's rally in Oshawa: "He’s normalized it. He’s invited it into the national conversation like it belongs at the grown-up table. The fact that people were openly wishing death on the prime minister in the middle of a political event and no one batted an eye? That’s abhorrent."

This

Yes - the reason @mark-carney.bsky.social took a break from campaigning was to do some Prime Ministering. The media & other politicians know that but they're desperate for a sound bite. Imma stick with #TeamCarney!

If you’re in my notifications pushing the lie that MeToo drove false allegations or took “due process” away from men I will block you. That is Andrew Tate manosphere garbage and you know it. “Due process” has never existed for victims.

BREAKING: AOC bringing the house down in Utah. “It will never be just institutions and officials alone who uphold our democracy. It will always be the people, the masses who refused to comply with authoritarian regimes who are the last and strongest defense of our country and our freedom.”

A tyrannical regime seeking to assert ever more tyrannical powers: "The Trump administration is indeed discussing this idea behind the scenes... these conversations have revolved around attempting to denaturalize American citizens and deport them to other countries, including El Salvador."

this is the no fucking shit of all no fucking shits and yet barely anyone anywhere is saying it.

The fact that they'll tell a lie this blatant is astounding. I know people the height trump claims to be who are ~225lbs. They don't look like a dump truck that shat itself.

the fact that there are many details in the report that are just observably false is a good reason news organizations could, if they wanted to, deny it the presumption of proof and cover the president's health as if it's a scandalous question

There's also a potential psychological quirk that is worth considering: is it possible that RFK Jr simply enjoys causing death & hardship?

I don't call him Howard Nutlick for nothing.

Did anyone see Howard Lutnick’s terrible interview this morning? Can’t believe he’s Commerce Secretary. Where in the world did they find this guy? Everyone in this pathetic White House is saying different things about these tariffs! Here’s some advice: THEY’RE HORRIBLE POLICY! GET RID OF THEM NOW!

1/7 🚨US MAY FACE WORSE THAN A RECESSION FROM TRUMP'S TARIFFS🚨 Billionaire investor Ray Dalio cautions that Trump's trade policies could trigger "something worse than a recession." The hedge fund legend told NBC we're at a critical decision point that could reshape the economy. #Economy #Tariffs

In Trump’s America….

Media is not blameless in people not trusting them

That's good PP, because I sure remember the scandals the #CPC was involved in under #Harper. Bruce Carson, Harper aide, charged with influence peddling & illegal lobbying when he tried to scam government with dodgy water purifiers. #Cdnpoli #NeverCPC www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/fed...

102 days no booze. Streak has ended as the BBQ is on. Steaks are cooking. Solid run.

Very fun movie. Feels like Soderbergh returning to an Ocean's 11 vibe.

Prime Minister Mark Carney on Russia's attack on Sumy killing at least 34 people

It’ll be a great time for a career in the trades.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, billionaire political spending is up 160-fold since that ruling. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

The president is saying that once the administration gets people outside our borders it can do anything to them—including torture and death—and they can’t be stopped or held accountable.

This has to stop

"I would say to every Canadian who is listening to this: You should be looking up the voting records of whoever you're voting for in the upcoming election & see how they have voted on bills related to reproductive rights," #GoVote #NeverVoteConservative #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

🧵 We live in challenging times. It’s so easy to have your mind overloaded & feel negative & unable to deal with things. So I want to share some ideas to help you reduce your stress levels! [1]

Sobering analysis by @nature.com on the Trump administration's NIH cuts. ~ 800 research projects have been terminated with research on HIV/AIDS, health disparities, transgender health, vaccines and COVID-19 being hit hardest, with some labs forced to close entirely. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Real Ron DeSantis charisma at play.

‘after COVID” and “post COVID” are common parlance. This language is confounding not only because COVID-19 remains a threat, but also because one would be hard-pressed to find anyone similarly willing to say “post AIDS”, for example, despite AIDS being first recognized nearly half a century ago’.

Canadians, among others, shouldn’t go to America any more. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

Tick tock, Donold.

China has offloaded $50 Billion in US Treasury bonds & limited further purchase of Dollars. Meanwhile, an anonymous buyer is purchasing European Bonds.

My statement on the arson attack targeting Governor Josh Shapiro and his family during Passover.

Here is how WaPo handled Dem's 10-day long effort to count every vote in PA vs. GOP's 5-month long effort to throw out thousands of votes in NC. Support independent, pro-democracy media.

He's totally fine, everyone! Not a slob who cheats at golf and thinks China and America have been allies for 2,000 years. Let the intrusive thoughts win

How many stars are in the sky?

Excellent op-ed on why Dr. Henry is not the right person for the next Chief Public Health Officer of Canada role 👏🏼 Cc. @mark-carney.bsky.social @chiefscican.bsky.social canadahealthwatch.ca/2025/04/13/w...
