The damage that Conservative governments do in this country....

Doug Ford shuttered the Science Centre and demolished Ontario Place. Now he's coming for the ROM. globalnews.ca/news/1190954... Alternate headline: Area man continues revenge tour of the city that refused to crown him mayor. #Dougzilla

Wow. Ford flip-flops so fast… it’s honestly hard to keep up!!

Good idea. For the record, there have been times this year when there was NOT copy paper available for my Grade 3 classroom.

Good question. The money has to come from somewhere.

I don’t know the name for what I’m feeling, exactly, but it’s at least equal parts hopeless and enraged.

dear @facethenation.bsky.social @meethepress.com 🇨🇦 we all saw 2 executions.Renee Good. Alex Pretti. interviewing known liars of the criminal regime without calling out their lies is wrong. insults the dead and their families. 💔 #ICEout #MinnesotaStrong

Canada here 🇨🇦 we saw the video. It was murder, again. #Minneapolis #ICEout

I honestly don’t know how to keep my mental health under current circumstances. And I recognize I am privileged to be observing from the relative safety (for now) of Canada.

Not the first time that Raffi has put to words how I’m feeling.

Merry Christmas from Canada - the land of maple syrup and treachery.

I don’t know who the company that bought @indie88toronto.bsky.social’s target audience is with the direction they’re continually heading, musically, but I’m almost completely convinced it’s not me.

14 school days until the break. There’s apparently no paper until January. There are also no workbooks, no text books and not nearly enough technology. Oh, and we’re evacuating the class daily at this point. Twice yesterday! Ford’s plan to break the system is going swimmingly. He must be thrilled.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

What the actual fuck.

Finally accepted that the radio station that I had loved has changed to crap. Feels kind of like breaking up, complete with the “well, at least I don’t have to listen to that bs anymore” feeling.

The first week of summer break is coming to an end. And I got antibiotics, so maybe the second week will be more enjoyable. Seriously, who gets bronchitis in July? THIS GIRL! 😭

Michael’s has Halloween stuff out. It’s June. School isn’t even out yet.

Definitely the best thing today!

While people are posting outrage over Pierre Poilievre billing the Canadian taxpayer around $8.9 million just for his living expenses in 2024, I think it's more effective to point out that this equates to over $24,000 per day. Per. Day. $24,000. Every single day, including weekends.

Why does anyone believe that Poilievre will be good for the economy when he spent more than Trudeau and Singh combined? He’s so obviously just grifting his way through life on the taxpayers’ dime. Shameful.

If your brain, body or both are making it tough for you to move,work or…function well today then hi,me too. Severe anxiety & panic attacks have frozen me to the spot for over an hour. Posting from under a weighted blanket just now. Sending love if you or someone you know struggles with similar x🌿

“If the fire alarm goes off today, just ignore it. They’re working on it.” Um… #OntEd

Oh look. A fully costed platform that will keep Canada as safe and successful as possible. What’s PP babbling about now? Defunding the CBC and whining that getting security clearance will stop him from spouting absolute nonsense. How is this even a choice people need to think about?!

For anyone wondering, yes Doug Ford is still a chud who cares for nothing and no one but his developer buddies.

There are literal snowflakes outside and I’m mad about it.

It says a lot when PP can’t even bother to answer a question for kids.

I've been thinking a lot about fear—how it isolates us and how we break through it. Read my reflection on how we are moving from fear to determination and building a better nation. You can read it here: charlieangus.substack.com/p/how-the-li...

Canada is getting back in the business of building homes: Lpc.ca/housing

PP will say whatever he thinks will get him elected, but no one should trust a thing he says. He has no security clearance. His resume is shockingly devoid of accomplishment for someone who has been in government for as long as he has. He’s nothing but slogans and hot air.

Elbows up, Canada.

So, swearing an oath to defend the Constitution against threats foreign and domestic is mostly bullshit, apparently. Needing enormous numbers of guns and tolerating school shootings as the price to pay for protecting against tyranny was always bullshit too.

Societal collapse is bad for my mental health.

Canada must speak up against the arbitrary detention of travellers. Canadians and other nationals have been kidnapped by ICE. These are not the actions of a democratic nation. This is the creep of fascism. I am calling on Canadians to avoid all travel to the USA. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lt_q...

Just less rich. That’s all we’re asking.
