The journalist in Poilievre’s viral "apple" video feels "a substantial degree of satisfaction that Pierre Poilievre lost." "Canadians saw through his three-word grade-school rhyming, and his toxicity and bullying nature which points more to a tearing down, not a unifying of our country."

Riders on the Storm.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you. Senator Van Hollen lives this attitude – and planted hope in hopelessness. (I’m not crying, you’re crying.)

‘Muscle-flexing or urgent threat?’ How Trump’s assault on culture echoes the Nazis targeting ‘degenerate art’

These early 1960’s go carts that my dad and his friends were racing look like absolute hell on wheels. I believe he once told me this was near Smiths Falls. #gocarts #vintagegocarts #1960s #deathtrap

One is made a national story every single week and the other is shhhhh.....

Seen in the wild. Finally a candidate I can really get behind. #brucespringsteen #theboss #Kemptville #seeninthewild #canadaelection2025

@hcrichardson.bsky.social the FB shadow-ban/erasure seems to be getting worse. This time yesterday I could see posts up to March 30th. Now anything after the 25th is gone……

Couldn’t get a good picture but I saw this odd coloured wild turkey this afternoon amongst a flock of the usual colour pattern. I thought it was albino or perhaps interbred with domestic turkeys, but apparently it’s a rare recessive gene that causes it, they are called “Smokey grey phase” turkeys.

Sunday hike. Rogers Pond loop trail in Marlborough Forest. Easy 5km, flat, mostly dense cedar bush. 1/3 was badly post holed, the first section was deceptively well packed. Beautiful blue skies and 3 degree temps. Lots of tracks, especially deer and coyote, but all I saw was 1 squirrel.

Nice moon tonight.

Take off hoser!

Booing the Star Spangled Banner at sporting events is lame (in my humble opinion). 167 million eligible voters in the US did not vote for this. Why offend them? Kill em with kindness and keep the moral high ground! And besides, there’s no easier way to demoralize the American players on your team.

They say that 1939 Britain stood alone against a despot. That's not true. Canadian kids were signing up in the thousands. We were there to defend British skies. Now Canada stands alone in the face of despotism.and there is crickets from our European allies. But we've got this. Canada. #strongasfuck

Fuck Donald Trump. Any self respecting Canadian that still supports this clown should take a long hard look in the mirror.

“Douche Panzer” 🤣

I studied the Nazis at university, taught the history of Nazi Germany on two continents and wrote for major newspapers about Nazi Germany. I am internet famous for fact- checking chuds on the history, ideology and policy of Nazi Germany. That was a Nazi salute.

Absolutely beautiful night sky tonight. If you are lucky enough to live where there isn’t a lot of light pollution do yourself a favour and go look up at the stars for a few minutes, it’s good for the soul. Multiple planets clearly visible too.

America 2025: "Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Today, honor a King, not a Felon. #mlkday2025

This morning I pooped in Pulaski (NY). I really did, but could put that slogan on a t shirt or something.

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer. These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP. You can follow his remarkable reporting here👇 www.instagram.com/ethanswopeph...

While Trump is trolling Canada about annexing it, Canadians are in Los Angeles tonight dropping water on the Palisades fire. He’s a disgrace.

Keep givin em hell @charlieangus104.bsky.social ! I really wish you weren’t leaving. Though I’m sure you have something up your sleeve. You’ve always been a steady beacon in rocky political waters. 🤘

So I'm standing in the grocery store parking lot and it's freaking cold. A very classy old woman sees me and walks the entire distance across the lot. "You give that man shit," she says. Then walks away. That's Canada. The criminal might buy off porn stars. He will never force Canada to bend.

#paris circa 1961. My grandfather was an exec in an international labour union, as such he travelled extensively and always had a camera on him. I think he had a pretty good eye. #historicalphotography #france #historicalphotos

Trump has promised to pardon Jan. 6 rioters. Experts warn that such a move could trigger a renaissance for militant extremists, sending them an unprecedented message of support — and making it all the more urgent to understand them.

Good question?

Very possibly the best part of hosting Christmas dinner? Homemade turkey soup for days!

Song of the day: Big Joe Mufferaw - Stompin' Tom Connors Joseph Montferrand was a legend in the Ottawa Valley. He led wild battles between French Canadian loggers and Irish shiner gangs. Stompin' Tom's bass player was @grievousangels104.bsky.social Tim Hadley. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNHx...

"In the 80s there was this movie released about a Vietnam veteran who was so haunted by his trauma and so mistreated by the police that he was driven into a violent rampage." "Oh wow. How did that go over?" "We turned it into a Saturday morning cartoon for kids. Sold action figures." "What?"

My editorial piece in @nationalobserver.com We are not in ordinary times. We are in Trump times. The clock is ticking down on the arrival of the chaos machine in Washington. Canada is staring down a political tsunami but we're too busy to notice." www.nationalobserver.com/2024/12/27/o...
