Happy #caturday

It’s always #Caturday in my house. ❤️

We have a #tonkpile I have been looking forward to this. Our resident cat Taivas has fully accepted his new brothers, Uni and Goji. ❤️ #tonkinese

There is no place in Canada for this right wing nonsense. Right wing agitators posing as journalists with no objective other than to disrupt creditable reporting for partisan and monetary gain.

I took the CBC Vote Compass. The results are not surprising. I know that I’ll be voting for the #LPC candidate in my riding to remove the current bigoted #cpc MP.

What a great night! We heard Prime Minister Carney speak and met our local #LPC candidate. Confident in Carney’s pragmatism and his vision for our nation. #CanadaStrong. #cdnpoli

Listening to the PP presser on LNG. The Liberal government didn’t block LNG expansion. Chevron withdrew. Also, Cedar LNG is moving forward. #cdnpoli

I think I’ve officially become a cat lady. (I’m okay with that!) We welcomed another kitten into our home, Uni. He and his brother Goji have become fast friends while our older cat, Taivas isn’t too crazy about the new additions. #tonkinese #cat

Disgraceful shit from CTV.

What a week it has been. London has been fabulous. My head is spinning from all the sight seeing and the learning.

I wonder, what would be their Gulf of Tonkin incident? 🤔 BTW: the anger Canadians are experiencing right now is palpable. calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

We are Canadian! A nice update from the original. 🇨🇦😊 #elbowsup youtu.be/_OzbmriDgQc

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Rose Girone, who was believed to be the oldest survivor of the Holocaust, died this week at 113. She fled Nazi Germany in 1939 with her husband and baby only to be forced into a Jewish ghetto in Shanghai. Still, she would often say, "Aren’t we lucky?" Read more: nyti.ms/3Xlk3fM

How can something be so adorable? How is he real and not an AI image? #tonkinese #cat

Introducing our newest addition, Goji. He’s a sweet boy who purrs as soon as you touch him. We are in love. #Tonkinese #cat #kitten

Look at how many Cons approve of Trump. Almost 50% of them! Cons are Team 51, not Team Canada.

Taivas is wondering what the heck is going on in the world.

From @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social. "If you’re always consumed by the next outrage, you can’t look closely at the last one. The impression of Trump’s power remains; the fact that he keeps stepping on rakes is missed. The projection of strength obscures the reality of weakness. Don’t believe him."

Have any major economists spoken in support of the Trump Tariffs?

🇨🇦 I am thinking about Canadian Ambassador Ken Taylor, our lead diplomat in Tehran at the time of the 1979 Iranian revolution. And how he and his wife, at no small risk to themselves, sheltered and hid 6 Americans, for 3 months, who managed to avoid being kidnapped as the US embassy was overwhelmed.

NEW - Premier David Eby announcing BC Liquor Distribution will be removing liquor from red states from shelves and stopping buying products like bourbon from Kentucky. BC entities will stop buying American, including industrial products purchased by BC Hydro. #bcpoli

In response to the American tariffs, I have directed government and crown agencies to exclude US suppliers from any new purchasing or procurement agreements. It’s just one of the actions we are taking to prioritize Canada first.

To our American friends who may now be struggling to find health information on US websites: Please check out the Public Health Agency of Canada's website for helpful resources, updated dashboards & practical health tips. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 canada.ca/en/public-he...

I officially support @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social as the next leader of the Liberal Party of Canada.  Read my full statement here:

This is a massive, urgent report. If you read it all and follow all the in-text citations, you will be as anxious as I am right now. Not just America but the world is headed for ruin under the Trump-Musk autocracy we’re now just fourteen days away from. These men aren’t well, and they intend evil.

Pierre Poilievre is leaning heavily into rage and disinformation. His interview with Jordan Peterson speaks volumes about where he will take the politics of our nation. I was once targeted by Jordan Peterson and the death threats I faced went off the charts. www.thestar.com/opinion/deat...

This is troubling. Unless something unexpected occurs, he’s slated to be our next PM. The next thing you know, Musk will be appointed the “MOGE” in Canada. 🤦‍♀️

Pierre Poilievre says Canadians are too obsessed with race because of “wokeism” and agrees with Jordan Peterson that Canada essentially had to invent and import racism because it didn’t exist here before recent decades. Canada is so fucked if this guy forms government.

BREAKING: President Jimmy Carter dies at the age of 100

I think I went a little overboard. A small deli in my community sells some of my favourite Finnish treats. What do I keep? And what do I give away? #FinnishCanadian #suomi #canada 🇫🇮

It wasn’t a surprise that CPC candidate Jansen won the Cloverdale-Langley City by-election. What was sad was that there was only a 16% voter turnout. I found it odd that Elections Canada sent us to a polling station 15 mins drive away when there was one only 2 mins away.

What is he going on about? My goodness. How was this man elected?

Reuters: Syrian army command tells officers that Assad's rule has ended, officer says

I really miss my cat, Zeus. He was the best boy ever. #cat

Attending the all candidates panel for the Cloverdale-Langley City by-election. Guess who is missing? No surprise that the CPC candidate is not present. #cdnpoli #bcpoli

Hey #bced Social Studies teachers. Check out this great resource! #Edusky

Folks, if you haven’t heard of Con candidate Tamara Jansen, she is something out of the Middle Ages and cannot be allowed to win again. She’s running against Madison Fleischer; a great Liberal candidate in the by-election in Cloverdale-Langley City in a currently-LPC seat. /2

Mark Zuckerberg, worth over $200 BILLION himself alone, is still locked in a battle with our fed govt so that US multi-billion dollar social media corporations don’t have to pay Canadian journalists for their work. Good on the feds for taking the fight to them and holding strong.

Dug out my grad jacket for 90s day at school today. #bced #teachersofbluesky

Saving the CBC isn't just about protecting your favourite program or personality. It's about preserving national unity -- and preventing Canada from being subject to a hostile foreign takeover. www.nationalobserver.com/2024/11/19/o...

Federal by-election in my riding and #CPC candidate Tamara Jansen is running again. Reminder: -favour of conversion therapy. -equated MAiD to death camps. -anti-abortion activist. -climate change is “fear mongering.” -quoted a Bible verse to imply LGBT people are “unclean.” #cdnpoli

Putin is preparing a plan for the incoming Trump administration to partition Ukraine, per Interfax-Ukraine. Moscow would seize the east, divvy up the west between Poland, Romania & Hungary, then install a vassal state in the remaining rump. (Full details in Alt Text) interfax.com.ua/news/general...

She was not expelled for “speaking the truth,” she was expelled for using unparliamentary language and defying the Speaker when asked to withdraw it. But performative victimhood for clicks (and fundraising) is what this whole exercise is about.

🇨🇦 Good Canadian economic news today: ✅ Wages have now surpassed inflation for 21 months in a row; that’s something tangible and it’s a big deal ✅ 1.4 million more people are working today than before the pandemic ✅ Inflation came in at 2%, marking 10 months in target range

Thank goodness the RCMP were able to foil this alleged plot to assassinate Cotler. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

I’ve just caught up on this week’s episode of #DragRaceUK My goodness is it a tear jerker.

Hello all of those involved in the #bced community. Here is a starter pack I've got going. Comment below if you'd like to get added and look to add the folks already included. I'm hoping to establish a thriving #bced community here. Please repost too! go.bsky.app/QkdaZxi
