CYMI: Members of Neskantaga and Attawapiskat First Nations are clearing brush along the Attawapiskat River for what they say will be a permanent village, right at the point where Ontario intends to build a bridge and road into the proposed Ring of Fire. ricochet.media/indigenous/l...
We don’t gotta ever hand it to Karl Rove but this vividly illustrates how far the right has fallen into fascism that KARL ROVE is trying to be the voice of reason.
No warrant to see my medical records!?!!? What the actual f@ck? Many law enforcement officers have abused their power looking up info if exes etc. This is too much

Welp. Time to reset the “Days since Canadian government gave a standing ovation to a Nazi” counter back to zero, I guess.
Solidarity!

Here is my reflection on the PM's attempt to meet with the architect of Project 2025. There is no dialogue with those who brag about destroying democracy and suspending the rights of citizens. This is the lesson that Europeans learned too late in the 1930s. charlieangus.substack.com/p/this-is-no...

The complaint filed with the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario claims non-First Nations communities of Northern Ontario are provided paramedic services, while the First Nations communities are expected to use volunteers as emergency responders. Hmmmm, I wonder why @jonthompson.bsky.social

With Doug Ford's egregious history of appointing friends and insiders to public agencies, how can we trust that he won't do the same for those appointed to oversee our public education system? www.ontariondp.ca/hands-off-ou... www.facebook.com/ChandraPasma...

Breakthroughs in Sumerian translation are helping researchers get to know the world's first named author, Enheduanna. The daughter of Sargon the Great, she wrote songs, poems, and hymns 4,000 years ago—but she was a powerful religious and political figure too. archaeology.org/issues/novem...

The goal isn’t to “pass” as neurotypical. The goal is to build a world where you don’t have to.
Remember the Gaza Humanitarian Fund? The shady American nonprofit run by a Christian Nationalist that was given full control of food aid distribution sites in Gaza? Its parent organization GH solutions hired members of an American white supremacist biker gang to run security for the all the sites.
As a child, my grandmother lived across the street of Christie Pitts. She actually witnessed the riots. It left her with a lifetime of trust issues. Please be careful. I wish I could be there
Please take a listen That is just the first ask
Despite how news outlet may try to portray it, Graham Linehan is in court today for *assaulting a child* The fact they are trans, an activist or anything else is totally irrelevant.
The new law will reward Texans with a $10,000 bounty (at least) for suing doctors, other providers, and manufacturers who supply abortion pills to Texas residents...
😡😡😡😡 I guess now that she's made her money, women's voices don't really matter. Seems her Girl Boss stuff was just performative
Two Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug First Nation girls died from poisoning. Their families say doctors told them their lives could have been saved if airlifts had been available. KI declared a state of emergency on July 31. They say Ontario has not responded at all. Five First Nations have filed @ HRTO
Outstanding news that should be shared.
Stop saying 'preferred gender' and just say 'gender'. I prefer butter over margarine. I do not 'prefer' to be be called a man.
🍁One of the biggest betrayals a Canadian can do to their partner is not share their Kraft Dinner with them. Tell me I'm wrong 🍁

A worthy protest hopefully combined with demanding all Israelis be banned from sports & cultural events as long as the genocide continues
Good explanation of the Air Canada strike situation #cdnpoli
I was in the Super Store today to pick up some odds and ends, including paper towels. I looked at the label on the President's Choice, the Lola's brand, and was shocked to see that all their paper products are from the US. As too are their No Name brand stuff. Bunch of bastards!
Agreed My CNE ritual is to march in the Labour Day parade, see butter sculptures, coo over the farm animals and eat an unreasonable amount of Tiny Tom doughnuts
Some of these "foods" seem like a crime against our tastebuds Or a punishment on food
Newsflash: White supremacist only eats white condiment! Seriously, why are we giving this woman coverage? She only has 2.5 thousand subscribers on YouTube. Stop normalizing this garbage
I paraphrased the press release because the quote was too long. I wanted to ensure you all knew all the unpaid labour these folks do for us. Flight attendants save lives and deserve our respect and wages
Cdn flight attendants aren't paid for some work when the plane isn’t in motion—including safety demonstrations during boarding, pre-flight safety checks and preparation, assisting passengers with mobility challenges or special needs, and responding to medical or safety emergencies on the ground."
“I am not asking for much. Just to live. To find my medication. To feel safe. To dream of a tomorrow where my illness does not suffocate me, and war does not kill me.”

Watch the moment a group of Israeli activists stormed a live television broadcast to protest Israel’s war on Gaza. Members of Standing Together, wearing 'Leave Gaza' T-shirts, jumped onto the stage during the airing of the Big Brother show on Channel 13.

I have a new piece out for the Toronto Star today on how the Carney Liberals ran on public investment and nation-building and have swung immediately to the right. Among other things, Canada may soon experience the most sweeping austerity program it's seen in decades. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...
Israel is using the food distribution centres for starving Palestinians as sites for deliberate mass shootings. Any Canadians serving in the IDF must be investigated as to whether they participated in these killing squads. www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

BREAKING: JOINT STATEMENT FROM REUTERS, BBC NEWS, ASSOCIATED PRESS & AFP. Warning that their staff face death by starvation in Gaza. Horrifying and unprecedented.

Nobody paid any attention to this one yesterday so for the people of #RichardsLanding and surrounding area, here is is again. The ER is CLOSED from 8am this morning until 8am Sunday due to physician shortages AKA Doug Ford and Sylvia Jones’ cruel disregard. We all matter or none of us do .
"CACI is one of the latest American companies to win a major Canadian military contract despite Prime Minister Mark Carney’s promises to move away from deepening defence ties with the U.S." #ElbowsDown
Autistic needs are not preferences. They’re not quirks. They’re not “nice to have.” They are needs. Sensory needs. Emotional needs. Communication needs. Movement needs. Food needs. Rest needs. You weren’t “too much.” You were just never given the language to name what you needed.

Meanwhile in Manitoba, Premier #WabKinew calmly explains how badly Trump underestimated the Canadian people. Our country is united in our economic defense. Trump FA, now he will FO what happens when 🍁 politely stops buying American products and signs ACTUAL trade deals with global partners.
More than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces since May while trying to get food in Gaza, mostly near food sites run by an American contractor, the U.N. human rights office said.
To keep the US happy, Mark Carney’s Liberal government is pushing Bill C-2 — expanding surveillance, limiting refugee protections, and eroding privacy in the name of national security. It’s Canada’s own PATRIOT Act, minus the excuse of an actual attack.

This is an attempt at intimidation against a female reporter who has been tireless in exposing the apparent incompetence and corruption that seems endemic in Alberta politics. Danielle Smith can’t just condemn this; she needs to send a strong signal that anyone in her orbit simply cannot do this.

I posted this on my timeline, but it's worth repeating "Why doesn’t the prime minister just say the truth and tell indigenous peoples that he doesn’t give a fuck about their rights?” - Romeo Saganash, MP (2018)

Cuomo is so organized this time that he has his brother on speed-dial in his car campaign office to trash all those new folks he's touched
Andrew Cuomo says he'll focus on "reaching out to more young people and touching more people." Honey, this sex pest has already touched far too many people.
Damian is right and not just because I want to steal his hat. Sure, everyone is right on this post, but I really wanted to comment on the hat. I miss the Expos...... And we need to invest more in the TTC
Sex workers live with stigma when the people who should be ashamed for the work they do are cops.
