Remember folks: even if Trump back pedals, we need to continue the trend of “buy Canadian” and moving away from US dependence to ensure this can never happen again

Toronto Raptors fans loudly boo American national anthem at Scotiabank Arena in response to Trump’s tariffs. But the cheers were loud for ‘O Canada’ ahead of the home game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Interesting to see all the self-proclaimed “patriots” so eager to sellout their people to the highest bidder

Breaking: Durham to introduce snake oil treatment in their hospitals

A reminder:

Hey Bluesky, what’s happening toda….

So I took this today. Not a single person (besides myself) got on or off at any stop

How it started vs. How it’s going

It doesn’t get more “905” than putting blocky apartment buildings right next to SFHs

When the Creek is Stoney

There’s enough salt here to run a McDonald’s

Incase anyone is interested: VIA is having their winter sale
