I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

I have been pushing Elections Canada to take steps to protect our democracy from American/Musk interference. We have only to look at Germany to see how the Trump machine will undermine democracay to promote the far right. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Elon Musk is just a loser. All the money in the world, but he can’t hide it anymore. He’s going to hurt a lot of people solely because he isn’t cool or funny. No matter how bad you are doing, at least you’re not him. Because that shit is pathetic.

The Google AI results at the top of searches are so pointless. We have a resource (the internet!) that knows everything, and instead of going to the source, it's like you asked your stupid cousin who is trying to recall the information from a podcast he heard last week.

We can’t replace our 50m pool with a 50m pool because we give the VPD $434m a year and also we need to give them another $5m for the chief’s retirement party #vanpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

“Now that I think about it, he [Pierre Poilievre] reminds me a lot of Ted Cruz.” That’s it. That’s exactly it. Now that I see it, I’m never going to be able to unsee it.

The forced capitulation of Ukraine would mean the capitulation of the entire Western community. With all its consequences. And let no one pretend not to see this. @donald-tusk.bsky.social

Thank you to the Vancouver and District Labour Council for your support! With our Mayor having cut wages for janitors and security guards, it couldn't be clearer that we need progressive fighters at City Hall who will call him out and fight back.

That was when they suspended the Constitution. They said it would be temporary. There wasn't even any rioting in the streets. People stayed home at night, watching television, looking for some direction. There wasn't even an enemy you could put your finger on. Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale

One of the things the news has made evident over the past few weeks is that Canada needs a law that Canadian news media needs to be majority owned & controlled by Canadians. We need to know that our media is acting in the interest of, and publishing the opinions of Canadians, not foreign interests.
