Hey Waterloo, wake up.

If only he had Bibi's phone number...

Doug Ford is just like Boris Johnson in that every couple of weeks he'll slip and fall and everyone's like "he's just a silly clown man" to cover up what a blatant racist he actually is www.cp24.com/politics/que...

She is not “likely dead in the eyes of the law.” She is dead both legally & in the sense her body cannot even perform basic functions like breathing or sustaining a heartbeat without invasive intervention. They are animating a corpse to let cells multiply in it. It is horror worse than Frankenstein.

As someone who was a teenage girl and who has raised a teenage girl, calling this a teenage girl fight is cringe AF. This is two unstable men fighting like unstable men.

NASA has gotten to space without SpaceX and can and SHOULD do it again. Let's not overstate the range of possibilities.

does feel like we shouldn't overlook the fact that amid all the extremely funny shit the richest man in the world in no uncertain terms announced that his wealth is responsible for republicans' control of government and that they, and the president, should be beholden to him

A very succinct encapsulation of the absurdity and harm of financially bludgeoning your own country over a “trade deficit”

Danielle Smith showed up the first ministers' meeting looking for new pipeline guarantees. Instead, she got her net-zero bluff called by Mark Carney. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2025/06/05/o...

No. Hells to the no. Some things you just can't trust to a profit-driven environment. Governments run postal services so that remote communities can be served, even at a financial loss. It's service, not a business. It's supposed to cost money, not make money.

Ms Raj is absolutely right - none of us signed up for the near-elimination if our right to privacy, sir @markcarney.bsky.social. That the party who brought us our Charter, has allowed itself to swing THIS FAR RIGHT? To appease a fascist & autocrat? www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

The Strong Borders Act would allow "Canada Post to open mail based on vague criteria [and] law enforcement to get IP addresses w/o a warrant ... police will be able to ask digital service providers to hand over data voluntarily and protect them from being sued ..." www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

Poland’s fateful presidential election, and the decisions that preceded it, offers lessons to other countries trying to recover from an era of democratic backsliding — including the United States www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/e33036f...

Treaty rights are not red tape.

🔴 NEW 🔴 In a brazen act of political interference, MAGA descended on Poland this week hoping to influence Sunday’s presidential election. 📝 @desmog.com report with @geoffdembicki.bsky.social

Dipshit's dipshit machine doomed from the start... and all these failures continue to do environmental damage too. The stupidest timeline. www.planetearthandbeyond.co/p/starship-w...

Poilievre is a master of misleading statements. Every bill he just spoke to he employed torqued framing. And none of the reporters will call him on it.

Good news! Northwestern University scientists have delivered a one-two punch against Lyme disease in two recent studies published in Science Translational Medicine. The research reveals a more effective treatment option and explains why some patients experience symptoms long after treatment.

Man Feared to Be Cognitively Slipping After Writing Book About Wrong President

Have they considered therapy so they don’t want to say awful things that people find so repugnant they want to fire them?

"European officials have approached negotiations as though they are reasoning with an ally." Instead, Trump's team is pressing for "one-way offers" and has "implied this is not a give and take. It is just a take." This was Zelensky's mistake. Stop pretending the US under Trump is an ally. It's not.

Andrew Coyne is writing the Canada Post column he always writes but I need people to understand that a "someone else" who would theoretically do this wouldn't want or be able to "lose billions" so they would either charge a ton more or provide less service, these are the choices search.app/dHiYU

Poilievre has spent his entire adult life in politics. It's literally the only thing he's ever done. But him sucking at it is entirely some woman's fault.

Hear me out you might want to finally get serious about indoor air in hospitals

The LORD OF THE RINGS read continues with THE TWO TOWERS! Will Frodo and Sam finally confess their love for each other? What about the rest of the Fellowship, who were just left in the woods at the end of the last book? Will Arwen say a word? Let's find out!

This was horrific. Now we know engineers reports didn't recommend closing the science centre. A highway under the 401? Ford feels a little like Trump sometimes. We are going to be stuck with him until the Ont Libs & NDP find new leaders that are media savvy and really connect with people. #Ontpoli

Want to know what you should read this summer? Ask a bookseller. Ask a writer. Ask a librarian. Ask a living, breathing human being. Hell, ask me! It's been a while since I've done one of these, so let's do it: one like = one summer reading book rec.

Excellent piece in today’s @theglobeandmail.com on the very idea of 🇨🇦Canada.

Shocking. SHOCKING that people who use online credit to pay for groceries in installments are poor at repaying loans. I’m not sorry Klarna is in trouble. Parasites. Credit cards are bad enough but at least you need to have decent credit to get them. These guys pursue folks who don’t qualify.

Write Prime Minister Carney and tell him we need to act NOW, not in a week when Parliament resumes, because PEOPLE ARE DYING FROM A LACK OF FOOD, AND IT'S FOOD ON TRUCKS THAT ISRAEL CONTINUES TO PREVENT REACHING GAZA. A handful of trucks have gone through. It is not enough. This is genocide.

I love when these news periodicals review their news buddies’ books even when the news is olds because there are Nazis in the White House. I can’t believe any of you fucking people are like “you know what the problem is, it’s Biden.” Look. The Nazis won. Focus, you feckless fucks.
