I don't know how the real world is so far removed from the shared views of my friends and socials, but I guess the ppl of Ontario just really seem to want 4 more years of tearing the province apart. Maybe next time we will finally get someone in opposition willing to consider a coalition. 🫤 #OnPoli

Super thread. Nationalism via flags and booing might feel good right now, but it won't be enough. There's an opportunity to build something different here,.if we don't screw it up.

New campaign ad from the Premier. Footage compiled on a Washington visit using government funds (not allowed!) More to the point, he's more concerned with courting Americans than talking about the current state of healthcare, education, and housing in Ontario. Hmm wonder why? 🤔 #OnPoli

Fellow Ontarians : Keep making noise on this. We cannot afford to give $100 million dollars to Elon Musk. We do not want to be in business with this monster. I'm from Northern Ontario. It deserves better internet access but Musk ain't the guy for the job. Tell Doug to rip up the deal!

"There's no reason to build this in Guantánamo unless you want to do things you don't think you could get away with on the U.S. mainland. It's easy to put tents in Florida. But they're putting them in Cuba. Ask yourself why." @commondreams.org #guantanamo

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

Scientist colleagues (and anyone who cares about integrity in science) - spread the word. The Trump administration is starting to give the NewsMax treatment (i.e., degrade and take over) to academic scholarship. Share this thread. 👇🚨🧵

Around 35% of SpaceX’s revenue comes directly from the federal govt. Less than 1% of NPR’s budget comes from the federal govt.

Doug Ford: I need a new mandate to fight for Canada! Media: Trump dropped the tariffs Doug: I need a new mandate to keep getting it done! Media: Housing starts are down, hallway healthcare's worse than ever, you're under RCMP investigation, you spent $2.2B on a spa Doug Ford: Buck a beer, folks!

I signed this pledge. I try to watch myself and avoid being performative. Nor will I wrap myself in a flag. I think this statement is thoughtful, though, and touches on the significance of the moment. We need our government to see that we want unity on this issue. actionnetwork.org/petitions/pl...

If anyone is looking for an Amazon alternative this site is legit (just ordered printer toner and it was a great deal). I did a little research and they have been around since 2007, and are based in Canada--no shipping to the US. www.shopperplus.ca

Going to tell Trump this is Canada’s Fentanyl Czar.

submitted 19 days ago • 79 comments

Canada's """Fentanyl Czar""" should just be Rick Mercer going on CBC and talking a mile a minute at the camera about the drug war. Send US news the tape and do not clarify anything.

"Election day, was I happy this guy won? One hundred per cent I was," Ford said. "But then the guy pulled out the knife and f--king yanked it into us." He likes Trump b/c they both wanna tear everything down & make themselves rich. He needs to go! Votewell.ca #OnPoli www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

"Musk is 'part of the Trump team that wants to destroy families, incomes, destroy businesses,' Ford said at a news conference in Etobicoke on Monday." So what...we're all just back to being pals? Are you just gonna threaten to rip up the contract again in 30 days? Lol 🤡 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

"The National Post is notably owned 98 percent by US hedge funds, as are most of the rest of Canada’s largest newspapers, despite a 25 percent limit on foreign ownership in this politically influential industry." Maybe we should pressure our government to protect itself, and us, from this takeover.

In Ontario, an election is coming. Our premier wants another majority and threw us into an unnecessary early election to secure 4 more years, rather than focusing on doing his job NOW. The only way to hold his govt accountable is to add more progressive seats. Don't split the vote! 👇 #OnPoli

When Trump announced this asinine trade war, I was filled with white hot rage because I knew his real goal is to cripple this country. I relate to the "reluctant nationalist" described here by @davidmoscrop.com - and agree that this flawed country is worth fighting for. And so, I say #ViveLeCanada
