Yes the fact that in Kitchener, the Mayor and most Councillors have been in place for 3 or 4 terms and are expected to win again is a disincentive to vote.

It's Election Day! Have you made your plan to vote today? buff.ly/tqlzg1a

UBI beats doing this 👇

Elon Musk boosted the lie that James Talarico stayed at a mental hospital. Meta suspended No Kings’ Instagram account during nationwide actions. Staff at the Ellison-owned CBS News were reportedly told to tie Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood and 9/11. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

Yes, let's look to the future and contribute to a healthy world rather than looking backwards at energy that is rapidly degrading the environment and our quality of life

"We need to stop treating shovelled walkways as a private chore and instead view them as a core part of our public transit network by having the municipality take direct responsibility for clearing all sidewalks,” said John Massimi. #SnowbilityWR buff.ly/i3k87Q2

Elon Musk keeps threatening Canada's sovereignty, and Canada's leaders....keep posting on his social media platform? Non-MAGA politicians, journalists, business leaders: give your head a shake and stand up for your country. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/10/14/o...

This impression is wildly accurate @nbcsnl.bsky.social

At least 139 people, including children, have died after a boat carrying 305 migrants capsized off the coast of Djibouti in east Africa, the International Organization for Migration said.

BLESS @dtkmelissa.bsky.social for her amazing rundown of KW election candidates citified.substack.com/p/municipal-... - love the list of survey links, love the summaries of each candidate's record on things that matter most to me and my community, wish every municipality had a Melissa 💜

Homelessness isn't a character flaw. It's what happens when people run out of money and nothing catches them. Basic income is that floor.

Everyone deserves to be financially stable enough to leave abusive relationships. That can be abusive romantic partnerships or abusive work environments. Universal basic income would help everyone be able to leave abusive relationships. Billionaires don't want that. Religions don't want that.

"People living in houses get a chance to meet the candidate. They get a card or brochure left at the door. They can see who cared enough to stop by, and who didn’t bother to come around. People in apartment buildings are far less likely to get any of that attention." #WRvotes2026

Carney tells Canadians “we have to do this” (??) because there’s an energy crisis on three fronts. One of those fronts, he says, is climate change. Which is why we need………a new crude oil pipeline???????

As @jameswsthomson.com noted already, the sheer audacity of Carney to begin his oil pipeline announcement by mentioning a wildfire that almost levelled the town. WHAT IS EXACERBATING THE WILDFIRES MARK???? MARK???

Please don’t assume anything, Alberta. Vote against the Russian and American-fuelled separation self-sabotage. Send a strong message to the rest of Canada that we’re in this together. Foreign actors want you to vote for your own Brexit or Trump… or to help them win by just staying home.

Scott Davey should be worried. #KitWard1

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions). Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom. And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ. Remember this.

How about some climate policy and high-speed rail instead?

"Renaming" Lake Ontario looks like Trump's jump the shark moment. Seems that more people are laughing at him than with him. Especially internationally

It’s Lake Ontario.

Good morning. Here's the front page of The Globe and Mail for Monday, August 24, 2026. 📰

Mark Carney: "It's not a surprise that the US would take some form of reprisal to our response to their unjustified tariffs, which was on top of other unjustified tariffs. But what message does that send to the workers in Michigan and Ohio and Kentucky and Alabama who rely on Canadian demand?"

As a Canadian, THIS is the strength I want to see from our Prime Minister🇨🇦❤️ We will not be bullied, broken or owned. Our resources, our economy, our future are ours to protect & build. “We are masters in our own home” We set our own course. Canada belongs to Canadians❤️🇨🇦 #CanadaStrong #SheShed

The war is on. This is the test of our nation and our generation. We call on allies from around the world to show solidarity and boycott the USA. Buy nothing from the tyrant regime. Canadians - push your grocery store to support the boycott. @laura-babcock.bsky.social youtu.be/yuzXL3VhoMY?...

We are stronger now than when the United States started this trade war. More unified, more determined and more ambitious.

In his speech yesterday, Canada PM Mark Carney seemed to try to explain to the President what a “trade deficit” is. You’re not just giving another country 100s of millions of dollars… You’re buying things from them! That you want!

Word of warning: There seem to be some purported lists of US demands floating around the Internet that may not be entirely accurate. As always, look for an original source.

i wrote this last year but there is literally no publicly available evidence that donald trump knows what a tariff actually is

Municipal election campaigns also run on $. Consider donating to candidates especially those running against incumbents.

After announcing a big clean energy deal earlier this week, Carney took a victory lap. “We're living through the consequences of a world that collectively hasn't taken climate change seriously enough,” he said. It's part of his latest effort to greenwash his climate record:
