The UK's anti-protest laws pre-legitimise far right authoritarianism. Labour must repeal them now. My column today. www.theguardian.com/global/comme...

We kicked holocaust denier Ernst ZĆ¼ndel out of Canada. Why the hell would we let Elon Musk have any claim on Canada? He is a fascist threatening the people of Ukraine. I am proud to be helping drive this asshole from our shores. www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

The ratio to this is astonishing, but many of the replies are worth reading. Canadians are incredibly mad that one of the CBC's longest running radio programs is normalizing and framing the country as a possible 51st American state.

CBC trying to explain how a "conversation" about whether Canada has a right to exist as a nation will be good because they have asked an American DJ to co-host. Like asking Ukraine to join a "conversation" with Russia about their borders. But don't worry it will be done with "care."

Oh my god, how are y'all still not getting this? The title of the program is using and normalizing Trump's phrasing. Before the program has even aired, it's already functioning pro-annexation propaganda. You have already demonstrated a lack of care.

Never sure how these sports things work, but can Canada trade Gretzky for Chris Kluwe?

Just all of America folding like a thing that arrived already folded.

No, seriously, wake up, babe. New Lavender Scare just dropped.

Following Elon Musk, the world's richest man, two speakers at CPAC, Steve Bannon, who was pardoned by Donald Trump, and Mexican actor Eduardo VerƔstegui, have now given Nazi salutes. This is a major scandal + should push us all to mobilize, protest, and call out #CPAC for what it is: a Nazi rally.

Doug Fordā€™s ā€œerrorā€ was getting caught. Everything else was deliberate. Thatā€™s why he called the election early.

This chart shows that Fordā€™s deficits are much larger than Wynneā€™s. Sure some of that is due to Covid but Ford is also defunding everything we need (education, healthcare) while spending on things we donā€™t (agency fees, spas, tunnels, highways, ads on Hannity). #OnPoli

ā€œA reminder to believe nothing you see or hear on CBC.ā€ Because if you did, theyā€™d keep the power to hold Pierre to account for the things he says and does! And god forbid anyone does that!! Chickenshit, autocratic rhetoric from a guy who keeps boosting bootlicker media

You mean ā€œthe commentsā€ that are a repeated, action-backed, direct threat to Canadaā€™s sovereignty? Or is that ā€œbanterā€? Is it ā€œDouble-Cross Country Checkup,ā€ Ian? Will there be more on this from the Capitulation Broadcast Corporation this weekend, or is ā€œQuirks & Quislingsā€ still in development?

I thought we already knew that Ian Handsomemanthing was one of those centrists who is just waiting for any chance to be right wing. He both sided the convoy, Covid, and now Canada ceasing to exist. He canā€™t be trusted to do anything on the broadcaster that is supposed to tell our stories. #CdnPoli

You can also file a complaint with the CBC ombudsman šŸ™‚ cbc.radio-canada.ca/en/ombudsman... And make a more general broadcasting complaint through with the CRTC: crtc.gc.ca/eng/info_sht... Letā€™s remind šŸ‡ØšŸ‡¦ media that itā€™s NEVER ok to attempt to sanewash and bothsides threats of annexation! #cdnpoli

You better believe I replied:

Registered liberals should also note that the leadership election uses IRV or a ā€œpreferential ballotā€. Youā€™re not required to rank all candidates, but ranking all vaguely acceptable candidates helps to guard against interference! Ensure your ballot continues to count past the first round!

Happy #Caturday everyone! #CatsOfBluesky Please, miss, I want some of your lap. By all means. (catsitting my neighbour's kitty last December)

Good night everyone. May tomorrow bring us more justice and some peace.

While I'm talking about emojis, symbols are a problem for me too. Must be how my brain's wired, but I have a REALLY hard time interpreting them. And they're everywhere! On my phone, most websites, even here to the left (where I STILL have to hover over the word almost every single time),... ā¬‡ļø

So true. And I don't know about anyone else, but nine times out of 10 typing in a word (I just did it now) gets me the "Oh no! That emoji couldnā€™t be found" as if I didn't already have a 'am I too weird for this world?' complex. Wah! ā¬…ļø no emoji for that word either... šŸ˜”

The thing that makes me laugh the most is probably humor

Been corresponding by email with a company to sort out an order that they have messed up. In my latest reply Iā€™ve let them know how absolutely furious I am by changing my sign off from ā€˜Kind regardsā€™ to just ā€˜Regardsā€™.

In case anyone wants to read Stephen Harper's opinion (This is the moment to make Canada a proud and serious country again) here's an archived version šŸ‘‡ Oh great, he has an upcoming book, Flags of Canada - wonder which ones of countries he's sold Canada out to he'll include? šŸ™„ archive.ph/i0hdX
