Is it too late to give Sacha Baron Cohen an Oscar for this? Not a damn lie told. 🇺🇸

He says: if we (men) don't confront our "friends" rape & sexual assault talk & behaviour we're absolutely responsible. The signs are there. Never let it pass by. I agree. You should too.

Relevant for those who think Canada should give away supply management, the Digital Services Tax, and anything else Trump doesn't like, to keep him happy and get a "deal" (that he may or may not follow): Retail egg prices up 27% in Canada since Jan2021, over 300% in the US. #cdnpoli

Not to sh*t on the role of managers here, but I got promoted into my first manager role when I was 17, in charge of ppl who were 2x and 3x my age at the time Maybe he ends up being terrible, but "he's too young to manage!" to describe a guy in his mid-30s is f*cking stupid

I remain perplexed by people who hero worship Oprah when she has platformed 80% of the grifters running things here

There are no benevolent billionaires. People really need to stop thinking there are. This is what a billion dollars looks like. This is Oprah’s $90 million house. One of them. There’s a $60 million estate in Maui too. The word you’re looking for is “ridiculous.”

Also important to note that this “5%” will in part be met by increasing military’s pay/salary, which is overdue and will help alleviate the inability of retaining the enlisted staff — right now we are losing a lot of military enlisted over salaries, and failing to convert people who are interested.

It’s our duty as Canadians to criticize the government when needed but it’s also our duty to not grab one sentence or two from a statement to distort what Carney’s government is doing. Truth must matter in Canada. A vibrant democracy depends on truth reigning strong. #Canada

The outrage some are expressing over Carney committing “5%” to defense spending under the new agreement with Europe is because the story isn’t being reported as clearly as it should be. Buried in the Globe is this — so roads, ports, airport, skytrain all qualify as “defense” too.

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.

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

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...

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.

"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.
