And let’s look at bill c-9. The new anti-hate rules.

Anyone against this simply wants to be able to hate and intimidate openly.

If bill C-9 worries you, look inside yourself.

Let’s be blunt about Bill C-8.
It has ZERO effect on the average citizen.
Let’s just get that out of the debate right now.
It makes telecom companies handling your data meet the highest cybersecurity standards.

When you’re re-tweeting your wife… it’s kinda sad.

Pierre Poilievre is a DEI hire.
His position sure as hell isn’t based on merit.

I dunno. A Chinese MP and a Chinese fanboy calling for the end of DEI — something that likely got them both into universities and their jobs…. 🤷‍♂️ #cdnpoli

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

I keep saying “whatever it is” because it’s near impossible to get a COVID test here now so I’m just assuming it’s Covid or a really vicious flu.

I feel like death warmed over.
It’s like ebbs and flows of “hmm not bad” to “omg kill me”.
This is Day 6 of whatever the hell this is. 🦠
The aching and the chills and the loss of taste and smell are the big ones right now.
Get vaxxed for flu and COVID.

I triple double dog dare Poilievre to bring down the government on the budget in November. It won’t go the way he and his fanboys think.

You’ll also notice when Carney’s approval changes it does not go to the benefit of Poilievre. Poilievre has been stuck forever sub 30%. It’s goes to don’t know or other leaders.

When you have 40% of people saying they’d vote CPC and in the same poll only 29% can stomach the leader— that’s a strong signal the guy is a turd.

When I look at polls outside an election cycle I look at one main thing.

Leader palatability.

At the end of the day people are saying I will for vote the CPC if HE IS NOT LEADER.

That’s the message.

No. We’re a 24/7/365 business.
I got 1.5x per hour plus vacation pay for today assuming I worked a full shift last Friday (I did-sick) and tomorrow (I will- possibly sick).

They basically starved and killed Gazans into accepting this.

Montreal Mike🇨🇦 @mikemontreal.bsky.social · 1d

I take issue with any deal that was negotiated entirely without the Palestinian Authority even involved.

Hamas got prisoners back.
Israel got hostages back.

Gazans, for now, aren’t going to be bombed to crap.

What does this give PALESTINE?

I’m still really not good but I made it through the workday. 👍

The whatever this is is in the hunkered down and sticking stage.

Smell and taste went today. 😢

But will settlers still be able to steal land?
Will Israel still cut off water and electricity if they feel like it?
Will IDF continue to shoot kids throwing rocks?
So many issues not resolved that need to be.
For now at least no bombs.

Montreal Mike🇨🇦 @mikemontreal.bsky.social · 1d

Pomp and fanfare aside.
This “peace treaty” was drawn up by Trump, Israel and a bunch of Middle East dictators. Palestinian authority had no seat at the table.
Glad the shooting and bombing has stopped but until there’s a lasting two-state… I’m skeptical.

They didn’t get many takers. 🤣
They asked twice.
I managed to survive the shift soaked in sweat and shivering but I did it. 🤣
