Men are hurting right now (like everyone else) and are being told as they have been for a decade that it is women and immigrants’ faults. As rights are stripped from both women and immigrants their material conditions are deteriorating, and not improving yet they continue to blame these groups, why?

This is absolutely right. I worked hard to get where I am but I also got lucky when I was up for jobs or awards against a field of equally talented hard working people

I tell people all the time that I got lucky with my career and it annoys a lot of them. "No, but you're good," they will say, and I will say, yes, I am good, and also here are all these people who write as well as I do but did not get the same break, so being good isn't the issue, being lucky is.

Anyone telling an author not to mention their books here can go fuck themselves Also anyone telling anyone else how to run their own social media accounts can go fuck themselves too If the way someone does their thing here bothers you, unfollow/mute/block them, but you don't get a vote otherwise

A Bluesky user has written to me to ask me to stop mentioning my books on here. I wonder... Should I continue trying my best to make a living in a tough world via the writing I've spent decades putting my heart & soul into? Or should I obey them? Nah. I'm going to continue mentioning my books.

All day long the Liberals create media to give the impression that Canada is doing well and everyone is fine. Meanwhile head to any downtown in Ontario and it looks like an affordability catastrophe. Enough with the gaslighting.

I have Liberals absolutely melting down and devolving into personal insults in my comments now that they’ve seen an 18 pt loss of their lead in Québec.

Bluesky should go back to invites, continue aggressive bot bans, create a Craigslist-style marketplace (since you’re more likely to buy/get services from a educated or good person on here than any other social network), and market this place like a walled garden protected from enshittification.

Behind every #MarkCarney cheerleader's assertion that his meek, #ElbowsDown cowardice is smart statesmanship is a fundamental misunderstanding of how Trump has NEVER respected his subservients & ALWAYS rolls right over them. PM Trudeau showed no weakness and won most exchanges with him #cdnpoli

Last year, I signed 4yo up to a "1000 Books Before Kindergarten" challenge. Ignoring all the books I had read her up to that point, we just finished book #1000 in 12 months. We finished the challenge with "The Woman Behind the Magic". So proud of her ♥️

I wasn't a big fan of the Liberals or of Chretian but was very happy that he did not go along with the bs about WMD. I was proud of him that day. I like listening to him now. He's a pulls no punches kind of guy.

"'Elbows up' turned into stares of disbelief at the measures posited by Carney’s Liberal government. It’s one of the most profound political reverses on the Canadian public, proving that while Carney charms us in the front, he is stripping our rights behind our backs."

David Munroe 🇨🇦🦋 reposted

I’m not sure how people’s argument that Carney is “better than the alternative” when the alternative lost his seat is a flex. Poilievre is irrelevant and using him as a boogie man to justify Carney’s love for dictators & atrocity is non-sensical. He is using your fear to govern poorly #cdnpoli

4K followers this week. I know on Bluesky that’s not a huge number but I am humbled regardless. Thanks. And if you want to read my acclaimed working class fiction for free, the link is in my profile! I swear I’m not an asshole but sometimes my protagonists are, lol. (Obligatory cat picture.)

Aussies have the post-election bliss Canadians enjoyed until Poilievre announced he would usurp the will of the people with Liberal help. Let them have their joy. I know we’re all kinda bummed but we staved off fascism for now. Their joy is pure, celebrate it with them.

David Munroe 🇨🇦🦋 reposted

Prior to the #cdnpoli election we all seemed to have a shared understanding that Poilievre’s brand of conservatism was fascism, he was detrimental to our sovereignty, & the sooner we get rid of him the better. After the election we now have apologists & sympathizers. That’s how they eventually win.

I managed to get a pro-life house to take a Liberal sign tonight right by the post office which is primo election real estate. If you spend the time chatting to people it pays off. My biggest impression is church communities (which this is) don’t get a lot of contact outside their networks.

I’ve hit 3000 followers? Thanks! Reminder, I write working class fiction. My characters endure working class issues but they (like me) are not nazis. Reading is better than hating. And all my fiction is FREE (and critically acclaimed)! davidmunroe.substack.com (Will migrate off Substack soon.)
