And for Johnny-come-lately hockey fans from the US who will now watch future games involving Auston Matthews, he ALWAYS gets loudly booed when he touches the puck when playing in Montreal, it's not a USA vs CAN thing, it's a ... ahh, it'll take too long to explain. #FourNationsCup #CANvsUSA

And that's what happens just in a hockey game. Imagine if you're idiotic enough to invade us. To paraphrase Vizzini, "never fight a land war in the Great White North". #FourNationsCup #CANvUSA

It's remarkable how quiet a city becomes for those hours that Mother Nature forces its car lane network to experience the "connectivity challenges", that its bike lane network experiences daily. #HamOnt #SnowStorm

“There’s also a lot of Québécois who would usually fly the Québec flag are now flying the Canadian flag.” You Americans will never appreciate how pissed we are at your country that Quebecois are flying Canadian flags.

Someone in our household just muttered in exasperation "Why can't Marchand do one of his d*ck moves in this game for Canada? He does them all the time for Boston." #CANvsUSA #FourNationsCup

Despite the circumstances that caused it, a silver lining is that this has unified us and reclaimed our national flag from the extremist fringe and MAGA simps, letting us proudly wave it in support of our entire country. #canpoli #cdnpoli #FourNationsCup

It’s been buried in all the news today, but every scientist in the US should pay attention to this: Mike Lauer went out on a limb for us all, sending out a memo saying institutes should start awarding grants. And it looks like Trump/Musk fired him for that. 🧪

Not that anyone cares but a bunch of senior doj officials resigning over a corrupt instruction to drop a case was what triggered the Nixon impeachment, and in the Trump era it's just the 2pm scandal of a random Thursday and every day now has ~3 such scandals that would have ended any prior admin

Everybody: Everybody: Everybody: Doug Ford on the provincial campaign trail: We need to bring back the death penalty!! (which is a federal matter, by the way, so Dougie is now setting his sights higher than being the wannabe Mayor of Toronto) #onpoli #ontpoli #canpoli #cdnpoli

Here's a potential harbinger of how #HamOnt may be impassable if there's a big snowfall this weekend. B/c the city maintains separate snowplough fleets for Parks vs Roads depts, this tiny park is often promptly ploughed before sidewalks & bus stops in the area. Today at 3 pm? Still unploughed.

Me as a young man reading all those Hunter S Thompson books and collecting every Doonesbury comic is really paying off now in terms of being able to understand perfectly the historical parallels to what is happening today and what happened 50 years ago. #uspoli #usapoli

Microsoft's own research confirms something that was already pretty obvious: relying on a text generating machine to come up with answers erodes critical thinking, and is a method favoured by those who never liked doing critical thinking in the first place advait.org/files/lee_20...

Is a cold climate heat pump normally supposed to emit so much moisture in its exhaust that it generates a massive thick slab of ice so extensive that I need to put crampons on my boots to keep from falling flat on my arse if I want to walk around the side of the house?

For anyone on bsky not using FB, it has been blowing up the last 24 hrs w/ posts, new groups & websites on which consumer products to buy that are Canadian. When Trump was 1st elected in 2016 there was "I'm not vacationing in US for next 4 yrs" but this a whole next level. #uspoli #canpoli #cdnpoli

For Cdns who are okay with buying US products from states & congressional districts who want nothing to do with this tariff nonsense, "Made in US" is no longer sufficient - start demanding the grocery stores require labelling that says WHERE in the US the product is from. #uspoli #cdnpoli #canpoli
