“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

There's a very simple explanation for why horrible things keep happening and nobody's held accountable, and it's this (from LinkedIn, in response to a post criticizing Trump's claim that he's "least racist"):

Shocking headline from CBC news.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

When did it become socially acceptable to put your phone on speaker and force the rest of the coffee shop to listen to whatever you're watching on Netflix?

A Canadian employer of record will probably cost you less than $100,000 per employee.

Screw Air Canada for not settling in the first place and screw WestJet for profiteering in the meantime.

Governors Rd from Overfield to Ogilvie is closed. The intersection is of Ogilvie and Governors is partially blocked. #hamont

"This is a natural disaster" says the world's largest exporter of coal, as if it were in fact nature's fault. www.cbc.ca/news/climate...

Just experienced thirty seconds of existential terror wondering which parallel universe I'd wandered into in which Ray Bradbury didn't write "Dandelion Wine"

I'm afraid that, when I die, someone will tell me how much of my life was spent on cable management.

It's not soccer, people.

“…this morning, from a war zone half a world away, I was reading about your election. And for the first time in days, I exhaled. A small, almost invisible breath. Relief. And then came gratitude… You didn’t just choose kindness or experience… You chose not to flirt with fascism.” From Ukraine.

In a stunning reversal of historical trends, Americans are now apologizing more to Canadians than the other way around. If this apology deficit continues, there may be tariffs.

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president

A town hall for Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia on Tuesday quickly deteriorated into chaos, as police officers forcibly removed several protesters and subdued two of them with stun guns. Read more: nyti.ms/42MLMZV

If you think figuring out tariffs on auto parts that cross borders twelve times before the car is finished is bad, wait until you see how often code crosses borders before the software is done.

Forget about Fentanyl; people are going to be smuggling iPhones from Canada into the US.

I see the dead cats are bouncing on Bay Street this morning.

I kind of want to go

Fight U.S. tariffs. Protect workers. Build a stronger economy.

Absolutely shameful that CTV caved to a disingenuous right-wing pressure campaign instead of standing their ground. It presents even more red flags about the state of the media in Canada. @rachelgilmore.bsky.social did not deserve to be treated this way.

Carney: "The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over."

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I'm running for Congress.

Found this on another platform. #CanadaStrong #ElbowsUp

My meeting with the Council on Canada-U.S. Relations was focused on keeping Canada’s economy strong in the face of unjust tariffs.   We’re ready to engage with the U.S. on a comprehensive negotiation — when Canada is shown respect as a sovereign nation.

Damn it, OPP, don't we have enough to worry about? Knock it off. #canpoli citizenlab.ca/2025/03/a-fi...

Quebecker tells it like it is. In English. Because that's the only language his intended audience can understand.

I never wanted Canada to buy the F-35 and now I hope it follows Portugal and cancels the contract in favour of fighter jets from more trustworthy European allies.

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired! New ride coming soon.

Everyone should be screaming like this! More of this, now please!

A quick post-cruise refresher from me before I do any serious delving into any particular current events: Fuck fascists Fuck -phobes Fuck wealthy sociopaths Fuck immigrant-haters Fuck sexists Fuck anyone who wants to invade Canada and/or Mexico Fuck vaccine deniers Fuck this administration Etc, etc

This one is doing the rounds. #CanadaStrong #ElbowsUp

Just a reminder that "practicing gratitude" is not an excuse for being a sycophant.

She stuffed him in a locker with this.

Crockett: This is not what we should be doing. I don’t even know why we’re fighting with Greenland. We’re fighting with Greenland, Canada, and Mexico—yet we’re in love with Putin?!

This is poetic. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #uspoli #canpoli

As the United States launches an imperialist trade war against Canada and Mexico, it’s time for countries to come together to form an alliance against the US — and that includes rapidly curtailing their dependence on Silicon Valley. The US can’t be allowed to get away with this.

Reminder to both U.S. residents and Canadians that everyone out there right now badly needs to understand what a tariff is, how they work, AND WHO PAYS FOR THEM. Hint: Not surprisingly, almost everything Trump says about tariffs, Canada, Mexico, and the EU is a lie. Please watch and share.

“After nearly 4 years of Conservative dominance in the polls, the Liberal Party of Canada has taken a 2-point lead among decided voters, overturning a 26-point deficit from just 6 weeks ago.” Bloc is down -3 points, NDP down -4 points, & Conservatives down -5 points. www.ipsos.com/en-ca/libera...

A reflection on Canada and the dark times we are living in. We are no longer just playing shinny. The stakes are dangerously high. When Mike Myers gave the "elbows up" sign, we know what to do. Read my latest Substack here on why Canada won't break. charlieangus.substack.com/p/elbows-up?...

I'm hearing US business leaders sincerely and calmly talk about the current perestroika as if it were a business cost-cutting restructuring and not something that's destroying and endangering lives, and their self-delusion scares me. #uspoli
