Almost 10% of the entire Canadian electorate voted on the VERY FIRST DAY of advance polls because we’ve spent the last 3 months watching what happens when you elect a populist windbag who vilifies journalists and shits all over people’s fundamental rights. Thanks America. You really did us a solid.

Thank you for the welcome, Newcastle. Let's build #CanadaStrong, together.

It me.

Charlie Angus never disappoints. Listen to our latest interview on the MeidasTouch Podcast! Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/77jj... Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

Thanks for @laura-babcock.bsky.social taking up this issue. I write about Poilievre's plan to suspend laws protecting the rights of people before the courts. He boasts he will target universities and deport students. This is the MAGA/FASCIST playbook. charlieangus.substack.com/p/book-burne...

Angus: Well, Donald Trump, I’m going to say this once—and I might never say it again—I want to thank you. I want to thank you for bringing Canada together. It took a malignant narcissistic slug like you to make us put aside all our differences

I'm supposed to be packing boxes... oh well 🤷🏼‍♀️

TRAVEL IS LIKE THE BEATLES

This li'l nugget turns 30 today 🥳

America has been exposed as a hopeless cause. At its core it remains a Confederate state and that will never change. I hope enough of Canada recognizes that it’s more important than ever that we clearly separate ourselves politically and socially from them. Pierre Poilievre is a fucking cockroach.

What Ruby cooking? Before & After

As British soldiers were being evacuated from Dunkirk, the 1st Canadian Division was already in the UK as the only fully armed force to defend the shores. This photo of Canadians in the Battle of Britain is displayed across from our parliament. We fought fascism from day 1. Don't fuck with us.

It me.

"I think this is a very dangerous. We have a Charter of Rights and fundamental Freedoms in this country, and it's the responsibility...of the prime minister...to defend...those fundamental rights," said PM Mark Carney in response to Poilievre's Sec. 33 pledge #cdnpoli

If you're moving in the near future (or whenever) and looking for an easier, more sustainable option than cardboard boxes, I can recommend Gorilla Box. Really good customer service and much more cost-effective than other reusable moving box companies 👍🏼 gorillabox.com

"And the kids cry out" Where the f*ck are you?

FUR AND INTERFERENCE AND MISINFORMATION

“A good sense of humour… for an economist.”

How to apologize sincerely (and mean it).

“Hush now, be still. Soon you shall be one of us.”

🍁 If we lose the CBC, we lose a piece of Canada. A new article lays it out clearly: in a world flooded with U.S. media, disappearing local news, and growing misinformation, the CBC remains one of the few places that still sounds, looks, and feels like home. 🔗 thetyee.ca/Analysis/202... #SaveTheCBC

Arguably Erin's best thread yet 👩🏼‍🍳💋

Pear-flavoured Jelly Belly jellybeans are just plain nasty. I'd rather eat cilantro and I fucking hate cilantro.

A cure for what ails.
