Happy Trick or Treating friends ❤️ from 🇦🇺 💙😎

I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.

Minimizing COVID-19 is maximizing social harm

One of the best articles I've read all year because it centers social justice and equity. Published today

Powerful and moving interview with Virginia Giuffre's brother Sky and sister-in-law Amanda:

"He's just Andrew. He's no longer a prince... This normal girl, from a normal family, has taken down a prince. We are so proud of her."

"She was extraordinary. She did the extraordinary."

I think Houston might actually have outdone NYC in terms of creativity in its puppy Halloween costume contest.

Help

This is fucking amazing

Force an election at your peril, opposition leaders.

If anything, the LPC will gain seats.

PP would have to decide whether to run in Alberta again, just to be safe.

The NDP are leaderless.

The Bloc aren‘t likely to increase their seat count.

We’re launching free trade negotiations with Thailand. 
 
This is our second-largest trading partner in Southeast Asia — and Prime Minister Charnvirakul and I want to unlock even more opportunities for our workers and businesses.

Heartbroken. 💔
I rushed all the way down there, trolley rattling, pennies jingling… only to find it was a spelling mistake.
No “Mice Pies.”

Utter betrayal

I’ve never known disappointment like it.

I slowly wheeled the trolley back to the car park, belly in tatters.

The always amazing @drjudystone.bsky.social and Dr. Judith Feinberg just published an important piece on why it is critical for healthcare providers under the age of 65 years to be vaccinated against COVID19.

We’re launching Automatic Federal Benefits — pre-filing taxes for up to 5.5 million Canadians, so they get the benefits they’re entitled to.

Every time our government does something to help other Canadians I’m going to thank them. Others will just keep posting lists of everything they’ve left to do. For Christmas sake can we just celebrate something even for a minute. Carney has been PM for 6 months. Read that again. We remain TNSF 🇨🇦

I think a lot about the chance we had at the start of COVID to finally become a more compassionate, collectivist nation, and how profoundly we were failed not only by the sociopathic greed of the ruling class but by each other.

It doesn’t mean we won’t get there, but the lost opportunity haunts me.
