I grumble when it's time to go from sandals to socks but I feel very strongly about where to buy them. Shop your neighborhood, shop your province, shop your country and shop the countries of your country's friends.
Colder weather means I think about 🇨🇦 socks! Whether you’re looking for regular everyday cotton socks, heavy weight boot socks, merino wool hiking socks and even compression socks – these Canadian made sock companies have got you covered. #BuyCanadian www.shoplocalcanada.ca/canadian-mad...
You really don't need it out you can find out somewhere else. Stop supporting this turd.
Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs. A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which was gutted last year. If Bezos can spend $500M on a yacht, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

You should be watching the Cocodona 250 if you aren't already. #womeninsport

"Research has found that when cities invest in safer infrastructure for walking and cycling, the benefits extend well beyond people on bikes. In many cases, drivers see smoother traffic flow, safer streets, and even shorter travel times." Non-technical summary. momentummag.com/just-7-ways-...

How many times do we need to repeat..."it's the billionaires"!
This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

If the world ends these people are the reason. Greed and ego is the driving force in a time where compassion and generosity is needed.
The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?
I strongly dislike the current "leader" of our government who wants to rid Nova Scotia of all of our natural resources while charging people more if they choose a gas alternative while shutting down all of our tourism centers. So just destroying everything that makes us a destination.
This is absolutely bonkers.
"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today. We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.
At this rate it looks like it's not going to be a good time or a long time. Kudos to any runner making the attempt. I think it's the coolest club on the planet. 👟🥵🌳
The 2026 Barkley Marathons began with one of the strongest fields ever. The starting field came from 15 Counties as well as 15 States, and included ten women. The course seemed not to care. Over 70% of the field is done. #BM100

Get the eff away from Amazon. You have lived most of your lives without it! Stop giving your hard earned money to the worst people on the planet.
If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Republican voters need all the guns so they can continue to shoot themselves in the foot. Sure they have your best interests at heart. They sold you out 10 years ago, you'll end up in jail and they'll be on their 3rd yacht but so very appreciative of your willingness to hate.
U.S. billionaires got an astounding $1.5 TRILLION richer in the first year of Trump's second term. Remember — this is happening as they get even more tax cuts in exchange for the social safety net being cut for everyone else. "New Golden Age" for who?
