“This bill explicitly gives government the power to end legal strikes when a minister decides that a strike is or could become contrary to the national interest — and the national interest is defined solely by the opinion of the minister,” warns top labour leader Bea Bruske. Holy shit. This is bad.

I just heard someone call Trump’s speech The Pettysburg address and now I have to go lie down 🤣🤣💀

Gee, and all this time I was told that coming to America with nothing and making a fortune was literally the American Dream.

The Trump regime wants to dismantle a world leading climate research center. Why? Because the US has become a petrostate where the government has been captured by fossil fuel interests. They’re calling climate science “green new scam research”, in full denial of reality. 🤯

“The Liberals are violating our Charter rights to take job action and give Air Canada exactly what they want — hours and hours of unpaid labour from underpaid flight attendants, while the company pulls in sky-high profits and extraordinary executive compensation”

I see you are unfamiliar with how Calvinball is played.

So fucking funny that this media whore waited for *months* to do this and then the moment he announces it a much bigger story wipes it away

Not good, OC Transpo. Not good at all.

We simply had to intentionally destroy the world’s strongest economy while dismantling our scientific and educational infrastructure to ensure that a team with a trans girl would never finish second place in the Mountain West volleyball standings again

Poilievre pulling a Trump & Musk & making clear he will cut funding to anything he considers “woke” in federal public service & university research - like anything to do with climate science. As Danielle Smith made clear, Poilievre is “in sync” with Trump. We can never let him win. #TeamCarney

@joeposnanski.bsky.social @kentremendous.bsky.social The omission of Quick Change from the 1991 Reposcars is highly disappointing.

Ugh. Ontario loses again. Thankful at least that I didn’t have to sweat @chandrapasma.bsky.social all night this time around 🙂

Don’t ever let anyone try and convince you that Elon isn’t in this for the money. People like him can never have enough money. He wants it all.

After @lorak.bsky.social's scoop that a law firm repping Tesla drafted new legislation to change Delaware corporate law, Sen. @warren.senate.gov called it Elon Musk's “latest plan to rip off the American people to make himself and his fellow billionaires richer." www.cnbc.com/2025/02/18/f...

you love to see it. gov hochul comes out strong.

🚨 If you think this administration isn't attacking science & vaccines, think again. They’ve now scrubbed all ACIP slides. First, they erase the data. Then, manipulate it to fit their narrative—this time, undermining vaccine safety. We’ve seen this playbook before. #ScienceMatters #VaccinesSaveLives

IMPORTANT: If you live in the United States or Canada, you’ve probably heard Trump‘s constant claim that the United States is “subsidizing” Canada. It’s wrong of course, but here’s the best explanation I’ve seen about how & why it’s wrong. PLEASE WATCH & SHARE IT A LOT. Kudos to Andrew Chang & CBC.

Zuckerberg's MAGA makeover confirms it: The war on "woke" is cover for a war on workers. It is pathetic how billionaires like Zuckerberg and Musk resent the fleets of middle-class desk workers that made them wealthy. www.salon.com/2025/01/17/t...

With everything so seemingly terrible these days & no sign of anything remotely hopeful in the near future, I thought you might need this photo of a baby giraffe.

If you’re ever wondering why wildfire smoke is so bad for you it’s because it includes things like “an entire bicycle”

Eight years doing the #NYTXW, this is the first time ever breaking ten minutes on Sunday.

Braedon: I come from a nation that believed in fascist ideology for a while. And we don’t want to go to that again. We are close to it because people want to simplify complex problems. The essence of fascism is to simplify complex problems and feed people who don't have time to read some bullshit.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

I give you the official Trump administration photo.

Don't forget to get enough food for 30 days because the shops will be shut for 12 hours over Christmas.

sesame street isn't supposed to make money. the post office isn't supposed to make money. not everything is supposed to MAKE MONEY

Applicable worldwide.

While I was watching an ad for St. Laurent mall, it struck me just how much the word "convenient" has been so twisted and perverted by the auto and fossil fuel industries. "Conveniently located next to the 417, with ample free parking!" In no universe is that convenient, except to the carbrained.

It has been over 30 years since the murder of 14 young women at Polytechnique Montréal (December 6, 1989) just for studying engineering as women

Elon is starting his “efficiency” spree by targeting climate officials—specifically climate JUSTICE officials. I am still waiting on all the white dudes who swore this man was a climate hero to speak out. www.cnn.com/2024/11/27/b...

Our leaders fight us for every square inch of bike lane but everywhere you look you can find millions in taxpayer dollars wasted on car travel, the most expensive, inefficient and dangerous form of travel in cities.

News has just broke that Trump plans to eject trans people from the military within days of inauguration. Trans servicemembers who have served 19 years will lose their pensions and healthcare. This is obscene. They served our country, and will be kicked to the side like trash.

Or… join Bluesky, where links to articles are not deprioritized, journalism soars, and people actually engage thoughtfully instead of hurl slurs.

On the subject of #SarahMcBride: She's been subjected to a Kobayashi Maru scenario by people who knew how to craft it with sadism aforethought. Consider that. Carefully.

Well, it finally happened. My commute, from door to door, took as long on OC Transpo as it would have for me to walk. We are in such trouble.

On this day in 1970, Charles Schulz replied to a 10-year-old kid who had written and asked, “What makes a good citizen?"

Always 💖 Don't make me tap the sign

Get bent, Blaine Higgs.

Good riddance to Blaine Higgs, the (soon-to-be former) Premier of New Brunswick, whose legacy is importing American-style transphobic school policies to Canada.

Up here in Canada, the premier of New Brunswick, Blaine Higgs, has been launching an attack on Queer youth, and has been campaigning hard against trans healthcare. He just got absolutely wrecked. Thrown out of power and defeated in his own riding. Tiny victories.

Trump : I'm gonna do it GOP : haha he wouldn't really Literal army of goons : we have a plan for it and we served in the last administration and he said he wants us to do it GOP : surely not Literal army of goons : we have a whole chapter on jailing infants lmao GOP : it's just talk

That newsrooms treat a former president, and avowed would-be dictator, with absolute seriousness when he meanders at length about locker rooms’ reaction to a long-dead golfer’s wang is some of the gaudiest straight white male faux-billionaire privilege-iest s*** any of us will ever see.
