Still no security clearance for Poilievre. When will the Cons tire of losing and not having an adult as leader? Are there adults left in that party or is it all petulant, angry children in suits with grievances?
Go ahead, underestimate us. At your peril.
You don't change the name to Dept. of War unless you intend to go to war. Canada, pay attention. Alberta is Donbas if we aren't careful.
Oh HELL yes
If cabinet is hoping the guy who wrote the fascist playbook will give advice on stopping fascism then we are in trouble. Adorno reminds us that clever people were the first to be suckered by the fascist playbook because they thought they could outsmart it. There is nothing hidden in their plan.
My son just described a Paul McCartney solo album as being “part of the Beatles Extended Universe” and I almost swerved my car into a tree.
#OTD, 8 years ago, we lost Steely Dan co-founder, bassist-guitarist Walter Becker. He was the sensible half, the man with the dry grin and the sharper ear. Walter Becker co-wrote the songs and cast the players… Spin “Aja,” chase it with “Deacon Blues,” and raise a glass to the quiet architect.

Venezuela says the US and Erik Prince have plans to stage an attack on an ExxonMobil off-shore platform as a pretext to invade it…and normally that would be an insane claim but… www.latintimes.com/venezuela-sa...
A friend in Ireland applied to immigrate to Australia and they asked him if he had a criminal record. He said, "I didn't realise you still needed one”!
Breaking News: Hamlet the Algonquin Hotel cat has retired after many years greeting guests in the lobby. He has moved into a peaceful NY apartment and says he will spend his time taking lots of naps and eating lots of treats. Well done, my friend.
I captured 60+ hours of exposures over 12 nights to create this 8-panel mosaic of the entire Veil Nebula. I used HSO filters for the nebula and RGB filters for stars. Image shows how H (red), S (green), and O (blue) mix in the debris in the supernova remnant. Capture details in ALT #astrophotography

These people are absolutely obsessed with children's genitals.
So the right wing Polish president who wants reparations from Germany and denies Ukraine access to the EU until they “return” the remains of those killed in Volyn is visiting the WH tomorrow. Prepare for a wave of anti Ukrainian narrative.
The crackpot shit Alberta is allowing is contagious because there are enough stupid and mean people in every province to follow suit if encouraged. Albertans have a responsibility to everyone to shut Smith down from banning books & children from sports. Or move to 🇺🇸.
I should have known we were in for some of this bullshit. Canadian actor would have been enough, thanks.

New York does not miss. The bleach did it for me. 😭
Poilievre’s unwillingness to get a CSIS clearance now is a full on five alarm fire and beyond a curiosity at this point given Modi’s latest salvo. I wouldn’t even tell Poilievre the password to my Pokémon account now and trust him. #cdnpoli

Trying to decide what to watch tonight. I’ve narrowed it down to woody Allen on the bill maher podcast or the videotape from The Ring.

Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.
RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.
Graham Greene, incredible actor who also looked like my Dad. Fuck RIP to another legend

“Danielle Smith doesn’t care about Canadian sovereignty, and it shows whenever she speaks to the American far-right, which is unfortunately often. Her actions — always immature, often childish and completely unacceptable for any Canadian politician — have proven her unworthy of her office.”

Oh, and PSA for #LabourDay: sex work is work and sex workers are workers. Sex work is a form of labour, and sex workers deserve the same working and safety rights as everyone else ☂️

GOOD THREAD: One more consequence of too many parked cars in cities (and one more reason to replace surface parking with trees and people-places). All those parked cars are making hot cities even hotter. (at a minimum, choose a white car.) #UrbanHeat
45 years ago today Terry Fox was forced to call off the Marathon of Hope at Thunder Bay. He showed a nation what determination and leadership meant. Terry has stayed in our hearts ever since. We carry his spirit in these troubled times.

You guys see where this is going? Right?
CBC needs to make a new FAFO category on their site to keep track of all these stories www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
At least one school has resorted to donating books to the public because they simply don't have the resources to catalog all of the books by Smith's deadline. This is absolutely surreal. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
Remember the Goolsbee Rule, also called the “pathological irony of crisis”: If you lose credibility, your statements begin to mean the opposite of what you say.
bases are loaded. we got a triple on deck
what a fucking idiot 1. Cons take everything and more - it's what they do. Listening to him 'defend' services would be laughable but for the chunks of vomit in my throat 2. It took him all of the prior evg... multi hrs... to write that
We can work with that. Can of black paint, brush a tunnel into the side of a rock and hope he falls in and ends up in another dimension and never comes back. Cost to taxpayer? About fifty bucks if you know a guy.

The nuclear family is a modern invention grounded in modern patriarchal and capitalist power structure, but that doesn't stop fascists from pretending it's the "natural" power model and social structure that should be copied at every level of society.

Here’s the thing: when the US military invades Canada again, that will not be good enough. So, kindly stop worrying about whether you’re one of the “good Germans” and get this dictator out for your own sakes as well as ours.
Thread... Israel has assassinated Yemen’s Prime Minister Ahmad al-Rahawi. Yemen is a sovereign state. A UN member state. If roles were reversed & Yemen assassinated Netanyahu—or any nation assassinated a European head of state—that entire nation would have already been razed to the ground. 1/3
We rented a cottage with a DVD player and watched School of Rock on the first night. Now four adults have "The Legend of the Rent" stuck in our heads. "Rimbimbimbimbimbimbimbim..." #NotHardcoreUnlessYouLiveHardcore
The city of Windsor is cancelling the tunnel bus service that transports people across the border to and from Detroit. More Canadians are staying home.

In a press release Jack Daniels was whining that their profits and Canadian consumers are being hurt by our own boycott. They still don't get. They say sales dropped 62%. C'mon people we can do better than that. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

We should have required alt text for posts that don't have images but DO have vague, extremely dramatic posts about an ongoing sporting event. when you post "its over its all over" i need to be able to click a little button and see that you're talking about a quarterback named Mac Whimple

Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.

How wildly ungrateful for the guy whose movies entirely depend on the work of VFX artists
No more Crown Royal for me. They would rather sell to Americans than keep jobs in Canada. I put them on the same list as Wayne Gretzky wines. Thanks but no thanks. Btw... there are so many great Canadian whiskies to choose.
Teachers: we really need supports for complex needs in classrooms, lower class sizes, better working conditions, and appropriate funding UCP: best we can do is a book ban
Portugal’s president gets it, branding Trump a “Russian asset,” and blasting him for his tepid response to Moscow. “The supreme leader of the world’s greatest superpower is, objectively, a Soviet, or Russian, asset. He functions as an asset.” www.thedailybeast.com/portuguese-p...
💥 Russia: Ukrainian drone was shot down just 10km from Putin's palace on the Black Sea coast. A forest fire ensued, currently engulfing 32 hectares (79 acres) and growing.
I’d watch a documentary that was just confrontational interviews with newscasters about how they covered the aftermath of Katrina. Make them watch the footage of their own clips and ask them about the role they played in making a disaster into a tragedy.

They said it wasn’t about banning books! Students will no longer be able to read some of the greats of Canadian literature including Margaret Atwood, Margaret Laurence and Alice Munro. Our students and province deserve better. We are not living in Alabama.

Canada needs to launch an investigation into Trump regime’s covert influence ops in 🇨🇦. If the US has begun engaging in information warfare in #Greenland, you can bet the same is happening in #Canada.
