We kicked holocaust denier Ernst Zündel out of Canada. Why the hell would we let Elon Musk have any claim on Canada? He is a fascist threatening the people of Ukraine. I am proud to be helping drive this asshole from our shores. www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

lucky henry has no idea that trump and musk exist. ☺️

The "some people" narrative by the government amuses me. 10 people in our office, only 1 got the alert. No one in my family got the alert. I think more accurately "few people got the alert". Which is disappointing, given we all seem to have received the recent test alerts.

anyway; fwiw, I like Bernie, and think he's mostly been a positive force in US politics. it's way past time for the left to find a new leader though. (doesn't just have to be one!)

Albertans are slowly waking up to the depths of the scandal enveloping the UCP government. A lot of folks are wondering how to explain what's going on to people who haven't been tuning in. Here's the what, so what now what, and what's next of the situation. 🧵

Canadian media: Stop normalizing Trump’s 51st State propaganda An editorial by @taylornoakes.bsky.social.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Seems legit.... We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.

bet they’re so glad their sucking up on the DEI front has saved their pathetic asses. /s

“Shortly after Friday’s exchange, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) announced that it launched a Title IX violation investigation into Maine’s Department of Education and one of its school districts.”

this kind of shit made sense back when musk was still widely admired and seen as non-political but the most recent polling shows he's hilariously unpopular, like 10-15 points lower than Trump's own low approval ratings. People hate this motherfucker! You don't need to clear your throat first

At CPAC, a new group pushed for Donald Trump to serve an unconstitutional third term. The effort, called the Third Term Project, is being led by Shane Trejo. He once co-hosted a neo-Nazi adjacent podcast called “Blood Soil and Liberty.”

January 2022 and Feb/22 The majority of donations to the trucker convoy that occupied our capital city for 21 days were mostly from the United States, to attempt to topple our elected, democratic government. USA 51,666 Canada 36,202 (mostly from Alberta)

clearly the right move apnews.com/article/ap-l...

Epicentre on Sunshine Coast

Canada needs the CBC Canadian mainstream media has been consumed by conservative americans to the point that the CBC is one of a very small number of national options (and it has offices in places many newspapers have shut down across all territories and provinces).

Just the the world’s richest man (and apparently co-president), casually calling for extrajudicial targeted assassinations of anyone he claims are “terrorists,” within the borders of a neighboring country that is supposedly an American ally.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

Once upon a time, these were actions by a private company. Now they are actions being undertaken by a high-ranking government official, in connection with his public activities. This raises 1A issues that didn’t exist before.

Fascism isn’t just knocking at their door anymore. It’s sitting on their couch with its feet on the coffee table. With shoes on!

They hate subways because they're communal, and they tend to equalize. This is anathema to them. It's the same worldview that has them denying pandemics and hating vaccines. Pandemics equalize, and vaccines (and other public-health measures) are by nature communal. They hate the concept of society.

If my senator @cantwell.senate.gov can't find the will to make this a fight in her own committee, I'll contribute to and volunteer for any credible challenger in her next race. Stand up and fight, for fuck's sake

BREAKING: Sen. Ron Wyden sounds the alarm that Trump approves of the House budget resolution -- the only way they can meet their $880 billion in cuts is by cutting hundreds of billions from Medicaid, a disaster for millions. Make sure everyone sees this.

Do your Damn job, SENATE Democrats. People, hold them accountable if they don't!!!

People that don’t agree with Elon deserve prison. Ain’t you glad he ain’t in charge? No. Wait!
