I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

Doug Ford is channelling Donald Trump when he attacks judges. Ford and his supporters always recoil at any comparison to the U.S. president’s antics. If you don’t believe me, believe the judges. Our Ontario judges. #Opinion

Carney should not hold the by-election for Poilievre until Smith holds the by-election for Edmonton-Strathcona.

Yes, yes they are.

Something I've felt and experienced since the pandemic pluralistic.net/2025/04/27/s...

Q: "How many Americans does it take to screw in a lightbulb?" A: "Only one; hard part is affording a lightbulb. Do you have any eggs?"

Walkable Walt Disney World "Main Street" fans in streets, NIMBY anti bike-lane pedestrian safety voting in the sheets.

It's true. You should watch North of North

What happened in SW Ontario is *not* progressive vote splitting. Rather it's lost NDP votes breaking 2:1 to the Conservatives. There's a lot of blue-orange "anyone but Liberal" switchers. Windsor West: Conservative +16, Liberal +3, NDP -20

This is all I've been thinking about this election. We, as a country, have to do something about this. This is exactly what the #Conservative party wants as it benefits them, not #Canada. Electoral reform is the answer. Push your MP to make this happen. #cdnpoli

I'm relieved, but not happy with the #cdnelection The fact that a socially right wing party like the #CPC has gotten the highest popular vote numbers in it's history is not good news. The almost complete collapse of our primary left wing party, the #NDP is not good news.

oh dear

Poilievre vows to stay on as party leader for reasons of being otherwise unemployable #CanadaVotes #cdnpoli

The same man who is friends with JD Vance? Sorry if I don't take this man seriously. #cdnpoli

I can't even remember the last time I was excited and enthusiastic for something some techbro insisted was The Next Big Thing. They are FULLY out of ideas. It's just scam after scam, now.

Trump becomes the first American president to lose a Canadian election

I tried crossing a feline with some punctuation. It was a catastrophe.

- More Plastic - More pollution (NO EV Mandates) - Less regulation (especially environmental) - Reduced human rights (Anti "Woke") #CPC party platform sound like they want to speed run us into a 3rd world country? As with all #conservatives they are projecting that the #Liberals will end #Canada 🙄

If anyone wants my Detroit Marathon ticket please let me know, I can't get a refund based on the US being a dictatorship and trying to annex our country. I am however allowed to transfer the ticket. I will discount the ticket if you wear a large Canadian Flag while running.

"AI is coming, its inevitable" no its not you sniveling weirdo. how are those 3D TVs going. how are NFT markets looking these days. Seen anything cool in the metaverse lately? anyone who says we need to resign to using it, that itll be here whether we like it or not, is a feckless dipshit.

Canada seems to be split into those who are relatively community-minded and believe in science and governance and the public good; and those who are selfish, mean-spirited, and misinformed. It's basically 50/50. This does not bode well for our future.

British journalists now going door to door and demanding Harry Potter background actors support JK Rowling or explain themselves

Missed this statement from Pen Canada last week: ”This decision sets a troubling precedent: that social media outrage can determine editorial direction. In cancelling the segment under pressure, CTV may have handed a victory to those who seek to weaponize online harassment to silence journalists”

Elon Musk: Government should be run like a business. Tesla profits drop 71%. Elon Musk: Okay, my work here making government run like a business is done now.

"elder scrolls" is just me looking at my phone

ppl keep mistaking Jurassic Park for a survival film against dinosaurs when it's actually a survival film against startup culture

The tarrifs finally hit home for me. Fresh Orange juice just became more expensive. Technically, same price, much less OJ. This used to be 4 x 1.9L cartons. #tradewar #tarrifs

I take one day off and JD Vance kills the pope???????

THE NEW POPE

Any union supporting the #CPC needs to have their leadership purged and replaced with leaders who actually care about unions and worker's rights. The CPC has promised to erode both in their policy documents. #cdnpoli #cdnunions
