Some political hopefuls aren’t just opposed to surveillance cameras—they’re shooting at them.

Just talked about Joey Shithead to my students a few weeks ago on our Queer Toronto walk (DOA played Davids, a gay club just off Yonge St - queer and punks scenes mixed)

My TorStar article on the OSAP fiasco.

Can we vote on this? We had a deal. We had two deals. Twice bitten, fuck off. That's my vote.

Honestly if the deal trump is saying is close isn't just "i have decided to honour the trade deal I signed", then amerika can get fucked.

From Lula’s victory speech. Hard to argue. 🇧🇷 “We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. We cannot have monstrously large corporations earning millions and billions, paying no taxes to this country and trying to steer our election results.”

Eat shit to fascists throughout the world.

Well look who comes a-begging for a pre- midterm deal. www.ctvnews.ca/world/trumps...

We owe the U.S. no loyalty while Trump treats our country like the enemy. Canada has every right to choose who we do business with. We don’t need anyone’s permission to build a stronger, more independent future. 🇨🇦

🤡

The vassalization of the US government by Russia is a threat to us all.

The Nobel committee could do the funniest thing in the history of marriage.

So what was going on between sanchez and eullafroy ?? #cfmtl

Quite frankly, an insane thing for the U.S. gov to peddle. The page ends with “Americans decide America’s elections.” Right. So, where was that energy when Republican strategists from Michigan flew to Calgary to pitch voter software to Alberta separatists ahead of their referendum?

Steve Witkoff, the U.S. special envoy for peace missions, called Russian President Vladimir Putin a “humanitarian” after Russia released a U.S. citizen from detainment. The U.S. citizen was captured by Russian soldiers in eastern Ukraine in 2022.

Would be a shame if the water main supplying the embassy needed to be closed down for repairs for the next year or two.

Lmao #cfmtl

"A list of Canadians who once hurt my feelings"

Happy Trafalgar day

Canadian media should probably be saying that last part out loud more often

Members of the Trump administration talking about the tragedy of the war in Ukraine www.youtube.com/shorts/fLIr4...

Between this and the millions the CRA paid to conspiracy theorists, the Canadian government is facing some serious tests of accountability.

Elon Musk has successfully sabotaged Ukrainian military operations across the board, giving Russia its first victories since 2022

Despite the Trump administration's best efforts, Alberta votes not to break up Canada

Separatism will be Danielle Smith’s legacy, but it won’t be Alberta’s. Let’s save Canada! 🇨🇦

Good.

This is exactly what the Major Projects Office was created for.

It is weird to me, as an 80s kid, that that the American president has just declared for Russia in a war of conquest in Europe, and it isn't just the biggest fucking geopolitical deal since 9/11.

It’s astounding to watch Trump hop on his own social-media platform each day to tell millions of American citizens to go fuck themselves and the general reaction from the public and the powerful alike is a helpless shrug. Doomed nation 😬

Today’s the day please get out and vote❕ Vote NO to the nine 9️⃣ Vote YES to stay in 🇨🇦 Smith must RESIGN❕❕

“The vast majority of Albertans (82%) say they’re proud to be Canadian.” 🇨🇦

We just walked our community and placed 15 mini Canadian flags on public fences. It felt good - but also we are worried about our future in AB. We hope all the 70-80% of us who support Canada will vote like our country defends on it. Please do not sit this out ♥️🇨🇦♥️🇨🇦♥️🇨🇦♥️🇨🇦♥️🇨🇦

Alberta goes to the polls today, to decide whether the province should separate from Canada. The fact that it's even happening is nothing less than psychological warfare, waged by damn liars. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

This. This. This.

I’m on p. 183 (of 202) and I endorse this review. More discursive than Timothy Snyder’s advice and list of to-dos in On Tyranny, Lennox’s perspective as a former security and intelligence officer illuminates that this referendum is much more than an expensive 10-question quiz and racist wishlist.

Musk has been doing this since 2022 as well…

Separatists rally at Alberta legislature: 'It's a movement. It's a culture. It's not going away.' edmontonjournal.com/news/separat...

Eight years ago this week, I was sworn in to the Senate of Canada. I chose a dress the colour of Alberta’s flag - or at least, as close as I could find at West Edmonton Mall on short notice!. Separatists have Alberta’s bold blue flag their symbol. But I’m not ceding it to them. #Alberta #cdnpoli

Looking at the US midterm polls. Likelihood is Trump gets neutered, but there's still a solid 4/10 Americans who believe that bullying their former allies and choosing corruption over global good is OK. I don't know how anyone ever trusts the US or American companies again when that's so prevalent.

Jesus christ, wainwright

There is a dumber option available: give it to Trump two years running. He would love that.

The United States is actively helping Putin murder civilians in Ukraine. Trump is doing everything he can to force Ukraine to surrender to his friend and ally Putin so they can be subjugated by the Russians again.

"I intentionally call him by the wrong name because it just sounds more racist, see?"

Looking over the excerpts and summaries of Freeland's book, I think my favourite takeaway is that, after spending a decade watching Trudeau a) wreck the country, and b) ignore his advice to stop doing so, Chretien just regime changed the little shit.

Canadian travel to the US has increased a bit this year. Suit yerselves but I hope it ain’t out of boredom.

Still trying to understand how Napster got shut down, but Anthropic is going public and still hasn’t paid us authors yet after stealing our work.

Menace to democracy Elon Musk has slowed Starlink to sabotage Ukraine and help Putin. So what country will be stupid enough to pay millions to any of Elon Musk's companies when they now know that he may unilaterally breach contracts for personal reasons on a petulant whim? Oh, I know! The US.
