Today I witnessed an ignorant white man call a brown guy a “sand ni**er” from his car. I had words with him but the dude was totally unhinged. In East York Toronto. He looks like Sammy Hagar with pink diamond shaped earrings. He was driving a black SUV. If you know this 💩. I feel sorry for you

If you love live music and in the Hamilton Ontario area come out to Bridgeworks for a night of surf rock, 80’s rock and 2 tone ska. All proceeds go toward our keyboard player who received a serious cancer diagnosis. Link for tickets: tixr.com/e/175424

When does a democracy cease to be a democracy? When the ultra wealthy gain so much power and influence that they are able to engineer the society to benefit themselves.

Dear Doug Ford, we live in the middle of 4 school zones and have seen a drastic increase in speeding in these zones especially during school hours. We’re are the speed bumps? Where is the enforcement? See more below! #dougford #corruption

Gavin Newsome had the best quote: "You don’t work with Donald Trump. You work for him." I hope that resonates with all the people who say that we need to make deals with Trump. We shouldn’t.

In my neighbourhood. There were 2 practically empty waste containers less than 50 steps from this mess. The human laziness is an embarrassment.

As much as I completely dislike Pierre Pollievre as the leader of the CPC, there is a parade of other candidates in that party that make it even more unpalatable.

Roman Baber, Michael Cooper, Michelle Ferreri, Garnett Genius, Jamil Jivani, Melissa Lantsman, Andrew Lawton, Leslyn Lewis, Michelle Rempel Garner, Andrew Scheer. A big chunk of the party are tough to take. Questionable character.

I’ve learned that if a politician or a pundit says “I’ve talked to a lot of people” they mean they only talked to people who agree with them.

In my opinion, Doug Ford won the provincial election on false pretences. There is no way that Ford is going to be able to deal with that unhinged grifter. He is not the guy. He doesn’t have the smarts.

Excuse the emotional outburst but listening to Trump is excruciatingly painful! He keeps flapping his fucking gums and saying opposite shit over and over. He says one thing and then the opposite on the same sentence and he gets exposure to do that. My head is spinning!

Basically after all that flapping the message was “you give us your minerals and we’ll try to get Putin to stop shooting”. The art of the shitty deal.

Just received 1/3 voter information cards today. The Ontario Provincial election is on Thursday. Good thing the 3 of us voted early. Anything but Conservative!

Am I the only one who is just a little embarrassed by our Canadian Premiers bending over a little too much for a convicted rapist and well known grifter?

Governance is not a business. It is public service. Business acumen is a plus but profit is not the endgame! Leaders take care of your constituents.

We are now entering that time where people post “It’s not Happy Holidays, It’s Merry Christmas”. I know this is a safe space so…I wish those people would STFU and just enjoy their celebration without the manufactured victimhood! Thank you for allowing this rant.

I’m not on this platform to gain a following. I’m here to interact with folks who have a great sense of humour and have great ideas about social justice with some smarts. Not interested if you are some sort of “catfish” contributor. You can unfollow me.

Someone posted an AI picture of Trump with a Canadian flag on TikTok. I replied with a barf emoji. My reply was removed for violating guidelines yet, I see racist posts against Indo Canadians daily. Make that make sense.

Alternate scenario: the shareholders had the CEO whacked to save money and made it look like disgruntled citizen. Appointe new CEO at the meeting that went on as scheduled. Very super villain no?
