Would you mind sharing this thread š§µ around please? It would be so nice if in a time of such loneliness and confusion we all*** came together for a single day to check-in with each other and talk as Canadians, how we build a nation.
šRetired middle school band director. You canāt scare me. Proud daughter of a feminist mom, married to the love of my life for 35 years. Pretty far to the left.

šØš¦ #Canadasky please share š Parliament is going to return soon and one of the first bills it is going to pass is Bill C2, which will give the police unprecedented powers over the lives of Canadians, including massive surveillance, and the ability to share our data with šŗšø.
They also insist that the state only aligns with specific churches.
If only I didnāt believe they will declare it to be stolen regardless.
Oh god my eyes!!!!

#showmeyourknits still on the road so all I can give you is a WIP shot for a favourite cotton/linen short sleeve sweater that I wear the heck out of.
Hmmmā¦ released an earlier photo and changed the date?
YES
I am a progressive voter. I voted and supported #PMMARKCARNEY, donated, volunteered for this last federal #Election. I WILL NEVER SUPPORT A #CANADIANGOVERMMENT THAT #ARMS A NATION THAT IS BREAKING #INTERNATIONALLAW AND COMMITTING #GENOCIDE #cdnpoli #canpoli #Gaza breachmedia.ca/canada-is-ar...

Q? Seriously? Is that even still a thing?
How can he play golf in those sandals?
Staying with some family and definitely getting my cat fix. Happy #caturday!
Damn
Those guys wouldnāt know a communist if one of them seized their means of production.
No Winnipeg? :(
Brilliant
As long as the older adult is not RFK Jr.
Look up the ship the āSt. Louisā
The damage this man has done is incalculable.
The Prime Minister just put an oil executive in charge of major projects for this countryās future. #cdnpoli #Canadasky #climatechange
Iām getting tired of saying What The Fuck.
God thatās a lot of work.
I am so ashamed of my country right now. We should be offering asylum to people fleeing the US for any number of reasons.
'Canada is not upholding its responsibilities under international law to accept refugees.' #CdnPoli
Finally smelled your burning voters, Bill?
Not sure thatās exactly accurate - old mine cut refers to the shape of the stone, not the date. That said, it is entirely likely that the diamond was unethically mined, since most of them are.
Well said.
Donāt threaten me with a good time
What the actual fuck??
My husband is a firearms historian and collector and he gets a kick out of even the concept of a magazine called āGarden and Gunā.
Ugh!!! Needs to be punched in the constituency but not likely to happen.
Cats are great when you want something to vibrate pleasantly near you
Iāve done a ton of baby blankets over the years but very few are on my camera roll. For #showmeyourknits here is the start of the one I just started. Someone needs to remind me how slow double knitting is - but I do love the cooshy finished product.
Are you questioning the existence of C-2, C-5, the cuts to the WaGE ministry, the actions on the Air Canada strike, or the non-enforcement of restrictions on arms sales to Israel?
OMG that blankie is amazing
Iām equivocal about the retaliatory tariffs. If we are prepared to say that the American tariffs are hurting ordinary Americans, then we have to say that retaliatory tariffs hurt ordinary Canadians. Are The optics worth it?
Iāll admit my standards are high. That said, his disdain for indigenous groups and the environment, the cutbacks to the Ministry of Women and Gender Equity, erosion of privacy rights, interference with collective bargaining and his mealy mouthed comments on Palestine, are things that give me pause.
Or in another place that ISNāT heaven.
Thatās pretty āfourteen words-yā
Iāll give him credit when he does something good, but overall Iām disappointed so far.
Just as long as it isnāt āMeet the new corporate overlords, same as the old corporate overlordsā.
She is already an adjudicated liar. Why are we giving this a momentās credence?
Please tell me the resisters are gathered around Mr. Abrego and his family. Deep, deep, deep, dozens deep.
We drove twelve hours to get here and the fresh lake trout at @SerendipityGardens did not disappoint (it never does). Trust me, do not pass by Rossport, Ontario without stopping in.
I am speechless.
Stay safe, Mr. Abrego.
Perfect name for him
In case people think this is solely a JD Vance/GOP problem: Gavin Newsom withheld funds from cities if they didn't throw unhoused folks' stuff out, and he personally went and threw some out himself ktla.com/news/local-n...
Which would definitely be copying the MAGA modus operandi
Say no to fakism, eh?
Pretty damn weak sauce.
Only if they code cis-gender white male whose politics lean right.
Iām a sub and I set alarms on my phone because the schools donāt have bells anymore.
Doesnāt that logo belong to some church in DC now?
Starts with E and ends with thnic cleansing?
Good lord what is wrong with Idaho?
Yesterday, if you didnāt catch this ā¦ #BloombergNews interview given by the #AirCanada CEO #MichaelRousseau, ADMITS during the interview that AC didnāt plan on the strike or put the airlines passenger contingency plans in play becauseā¦.
I can think of a few kids I taught like that. (Iāve been at it for a few more years than you)
The workers united will never be defeated.
Word.
#generalstrike
#Unions across #Canada have joined the #AirCanadaworkers on #strike and support their refusal to return to work. Government is for the people. Corporations donāt come first. Time for our elected governments to get the message. #cdnpoli #GeneralStrike #CUPW #Unifor #PSAC
It is VIOLENCE. It is gleefully destructive. It is backpacks with inhalers, it is documents you need to apply for jobs, and most importantly it is the homes your most marginalized neighbors have pulled together from almost nothing. It is often the entirety of their possessions.
Are you fucking kidding me???!!!
#showmeyourknits #showusyourknits not sure which hashtag is correct. My favourite pair of home knit sock that I have made for myself.
Your mouth to Carneyās ears
I made crabapple jelly today.
Beeper anyone?
I could definitely see Jason Momoa as Shonda/Wallie Smith in a āSeventh Swordā series. Any streaming services out there?
the youtube algo has been feeding me hbcu marching band videos and now Iāve watched this approximately 50 times in a row
šØ Mark Carneyās proposed cuts to WAGE would bring funding for services like rape crisis centres & violence against women & queer people programs to 36% lower than during the Harper years, at a time when violence against women & trans people is higher than it has ever been before. #cdnpoli #Canadasky
The Canadian government should punish the hell out of them somehow.
I was so excited to discover the word panitsiak in Inuktitut and trace it all the way back to PIE.
Tim Hortons doge-nuts, anyone?
Exactly this: āThat is the main thing they are after now: your empathy. They want you to hate each other so you donāt hate them firstā¦ They want you to cheer your own demise, mistaking it for someone elseās.ā
He is nuckin futz if he thinks he can just waltz in and peacefully take over parts of Canada. And even those right wing bastions are unlikely to go GOP.
Those are gorgeous!!
#showusyourknits pincha shawl inspired by garter stitch week from a few weeks ago.
Sounds a bit like the plot of 1984.
To the other countries of the worldā¦begin lobbying your leadersā¦NOWā¦.to skip the 2028 Olympics in the United States.

They paved the Rose Garden, put up a Tesla sales lot, with a golden office, a giant ballroom and a fascist despot. Donāt it always seem to go that you donāt know what youāve got till itās goneā¦
Not the least bit surprising.
Quel dommage.
No thanks, but I would pay into mine for it.
Hard-right libertarians like you fail to understand what a society even is. Did you build the road you drove on to work? Of course not. You and your neighbours pooled your money and paid to build it, which was cheaper and benefitted everyone.
Post-discourse, a song to teach every single woman and girl and boy on the planet:
The good news here is the amount of bribery they have to do in order to find people cruel and inhumane enough to do that job.
I walked two miles to No Frills today to buy apples. They were all from the US. Sore feet, no apples and elbows UP!!!
Happy #caturday! Audrey is technically no allowed in my husbandās room, but for years she has been carrying on a forbidden love affair with this piece of luggage when I fold laundry.
Funny how that works.
Itās not about this alleged āantisemitismā, thatās a red herring. Itās about controlling what universities teach.
Find accounts that post uplifting stuff and follow them. Don't let your feed be all doom and gloom. Yes stay updated and do follow and attend protests in your area but, stay sane. Don't let the worlds turmoil rot yur brain. Don't automate your doomscrolling Automate happy thoughts
Eventually he will fire everyone in government and it will be āLa France, cāest moi!ā
