Spare a tear for Gord Krantz, 89, mayor of Milton since 1980, on losing his bid for a 15th term. No longer Canada's longest-serving mayor 😭 toronto.citynews.ca/2026/10/26/c...

Breaking news, tightwad Toronto homeowners: nice things cost money. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

The other implication of his run -- that Toronto has slid into flith and chaos because we don't have a white man at the helm -- is the vilest dog-whistling shit, especially since Chow is still working to clean up the mess John Tory and the Fords left behind.

The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history. Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar.

33 years ago today, The Ramones sang “Happy Birthday” to Mr. Burns. #TheSimpsons episode “Rosebud” first aired October 21, 1993.

Donald Trump called her a “nasty woman”. In private, he called her “the killer”. Now Chrystia Freeland says the lesson for America’s allies is simple: do not capitulate. @channel4news.bsky.social #USA #Trump #uspoli #Canada #cdnpoli youtu.be/C3-MlA4ZZoo

The West Wing “Two Cathedrals” or this list is fooey.

#OTD October 13 1812, the Battle of Queenston Heights Americans crossed the Niagara River from Lewiston, took the heights, killed English commander Isaac Brock, but were driven off by reinforcements from Fort George, aided in no small part by First Nation allies www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lqct...

Holy shit.

My kids can perfectly mimic the Netflix sound. Pretty sure that’s a sign of parental failure on my part.

The Art of the Deal, folks. Donald is such an idiot.

As a teacher who does some serious recess duty every week… this would be non stop work to make sure aggressive tackles didn’t send little Johnny plunging to his death.

This is very good. #NoToTheNine

The freedumb convoy are the Alberta separatists They are the traitors They were always traitors IMO, their convoy wasn't about wearing a mask or taking a vaccine, it was about bringing down the Trudeau government & they always worked with the Trump regime, IMO #ableg #abpoli

NY City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams spoke at an emergency press conference tonight following the shooting of an unarmed father in the Bronx who was picking up his 5-year-old son. Williams said the federal government will try to paint the victim as a criminal in order to justify this shooting.

Hi, teacher here. We’ve all tried locking the students in with a giant chain and comically oversized lock. Nobody wanted to Lean On Me.

It is not about blind faith, it is about resisting cruelty and those who want unlimited power. November 2026 is our line in the sand. You cannot afford to stay home. Vote blue like your rights depend on it, because they do. Your vote is your voice. #BlueWaveIn30Days #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Stephen Harper has, as we've long awaited, weighed in against Alberta separatism. But man oh man, do I have to strongly quibble with him claiming sentiment was zero when he was PM. Here's a 2014 poll putting belief in separation at 23%, which is where it sits now. nationalpost.com/opinion/step...

Know their names: Scott Kretzschmar, Scott Norris, Diego Sarabia, Gillio Lopes, Winston Lee, Johnathan Newell and Matthew Ingalls #Cornell7 But also, everyone in the group chat, the administrators, university, and DA. SHAME.

@mapquest.com @ctvnewstoronto.bsky.social @thestar.com @torontosun.bsky.social @theglobeandmail.com MapQuest has made media rounds touting Lake Ontario stance. Just took this screenshot using MapQuest after searching “Sault Ste Marie, Ontario” and zooming out. What gives?

Et Tu MapQuest? @mapquest.com

The techbros don't want you to see this trailer. Pass it on.

Cry Havoc! And let loose the dogs of fucking war.

#OnThisDay September 19, 1994, #TheSimpsons began airing in syndication. Local Fox stations aired repeats 5 days a week, sometimes up to 5 times a day, aiding in every Simpsons nerd's ability to commit entire classic episodes to memory for the rest of their lives.

Canadian boxing legend George Chuvalo has died at 89. A five-time Canadian heavyweight champion, he went 93 pro bouts without ever being knocked down.

Canadian boxer George Chuvalo, who faced Muhammad Ali in his prime, dead at 89 George Chuvalo, the iron-chinned Canadian heavyweight who took the best punches from the giants of boxing without ever falling, has died. He was 89. #cbc #cbc-top-stories #Canada

Okay everyone. Here’s the YouTube interview with @jimmykimmel.com and @jamestalarico.bsky.social You know what to do. Watch it. Share it. Donate. Bury them. youtu.be/WLDE9LrGpNk?...

We started a trade war with these people because the president, who has some sort of degenerative brain disease with visible bruises on his hand's injection site that the press doesn't talk about, was bored.

I wonder if the voluntarily illiterate, incurious and historically ignorant tech bros understand what their entirely preventable AI Apocalypse will do to shareholder value if there are no more shareholders.

You know who actually did show up at Ground Zero? Canadian emergency rescue crews.

“False or unproven stories.” You are part of the problem here CNN. @cnn.com

Have seen this Nature piece about the effects of X's algorithm mentioned again and it bears repeating; exposure to a right wing algorithm makes you - measurably and predictably - more right wing, even after you stop using it. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Obviously unaware how mobbed up they are.

I’ve never been an Air Show whiner. I am indifferent to it. It’s one day a year. But US military jets? We couldn’t uninvite those guys this year?

If you’ve ever thought “how can people watch that, don’t they know it’s fake?” Seinfeld was fake. Game of Thrones is fake. All entertainment is fake. It’s the Shakespeare of it, like this guy’s mom narrating his entrance, that resonates better than most other forms of entertainment. Art right here:

Abdul El-Sayed: “Canadians are like the only people in the world who are going to preemptively apologize for something they didn't even do. So if you're starting a trade war with Canada, it's because you're the asshole.”

Seemed appropriate to take the kids to the site where a largely outnumbered group of Canadians “repulsed and routed” an invasion by the US Army. A guy named Chuck from Quebec led the ass kicking of the Yanks. #history #1812 #canada

@talkinghenry.bsky.social @talksimpsonspod.bsky.social In Quebec, he’s Charlie:

West Wing fans will recognize this moment, when Josh convinces the President to walk away from bad faith negotiators. “Sir, let’s go… right now.” My fellow Canadians will recognize this from last night. #Canada #WestWing #FuckTrump
