Met him 25 years ago when he was shooting in Calgary. Nice guy. Lots of memorable roles. Sad to see him gone

🇺🇸 & 🇨🇦 asking why they can’t be like 🇫🇷 : because racism and capitalism hold you back. There is a cult of property that means that any damage to it is the moral equivalent of mass murder. And you’ve had protests for equality from racialized ppl: Blk ppl in 🇺🇸 Indigenous ppl in 🇨🇦 . You demonized them

In the natural order of things, parents are the ones who get to cut off their kids! I'm in my 50s. Here's what I remember: -My middle school best friend's father told her mother that if any of their three kids married a non-Jew, he would divorce her. It was her job to remind them of that. 1/_

5- Jason Kenney is not a voice of moderation. He has a long history of racism dressed up in respectable drag. Going to every ethnic buffet and saying "Do you guys hate the gays? Us too! You should vote for us!" is not him being not racist. The story fails at every single point.

This story pisses me off in so many ways. 1- The so-called "consensus" was always illusory 2- The CAQ ran on a policy of ethnic nationalism. Call it out 3- Alberta separatism is a white nationalist project. Call it out. 4- Premiers scapegoated immigrants for their failures in housing and healthcare

So much of Canada’s oil and gas conversation makes NO sense. But WHY is that? Well thanks to a WILD new report from Greenpeace Canada, the network of murky figures muddying these conversations about energy are coming into view:

Sally Rooney's books will no longer be distributed by Faber & Faber due to her support for Palestine Action. This is absurd, and part of a broader ludicrousness in British society where solidarity with Palestine is punished in increasingly nonsensical ways, while genocide goes unpunished.

There’s a lot of people who enabled the separatists in Alberta who are now calling for unity. Theses people worked hard to keep Conservatives getting elected, repeated lies about transfer payments, and told Albertans they were special little boys because of oil and gas.

I hope ABNDP politicians are paying attention to how John Ossoff talks about his opponent because that is the rhetoric they should be using during the referendum and in the lead up to next year’s election.

Apparently the prime minister of Canada has very little power to prevent provinces restricting rights of trans people. Or he does, but he refuses because he doesn’t care

Throwing billions in public money behind a pipeline at a time of climate breakdown – while sweeping aside environmental protections, meaningful Indigenous consultation and workers’ right to strike – is absolutely not in the national interest.

My kids’ mom showed up today for the first time in maybe 4 years. Aaaaaaaaand she misgendered my son. I told her to go away. She eventually did. But seeing her is worse than a kick in the balls

Kinda crazy the banker who wants to rehabilitate notorious racist John A MacDonald wouldn’t arrest the genocidal Israeli PM as he crossed Canadian air space. Maybe Mr Carney supports the genocide? Sure looks like it
