The Speaker of the House thinks a naked bike ride is terrorism.

This is a sentence I never thought I’d write when I got a degree in professional writing for journalism.

Shout out to all the people who can actually tell when an introvert is drained and don't ask them why they’re being so quiet

I mean, who cares about things like the environment, or property rights, or the rights of Indigenous people whose land these projects are on? We should just let it all burn and watch the dollars flow in (to the pockets of a few select rich people).

Pierre Poilievre: The Liberals must get out of the way of growth
The only reason money-making projects do not happen in Canada is because the government won’t let them happen

Most of B.C.’s marine mammals are flourishing, so why aren’t orcas?

While most marine mammal species off the B.C. coast are flourishing, salmon-eating orcas are failing to thrive.

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

Post from WH about Chicago "in chaos," showing scene from another state.

This Day in History...

October 16, 1854: Congressional candidate Abraham Lincoln speaks out opposing slavery and against there being "a moral right in the enslaving of one man by another.”

In today's Republican party, Lincoln would be defeated by whatever nutcase called him "woke" the loudest.

The fishing joke kills….just ask the Trinidadian dudes murdered yesterday to serve as a punchline for oligarchs laughter. WH is like a comedy club from hell (or a bro comic festival in KSA). This country is sh*t.

Nice! They don’t show much concern over our garden activity. Very chill and chatty. Such unique behaviour.

UCP is announcing a new contest to choose a new license plate design all with the slogan "strong and free". But only because strong and free is in the national anthem and was said by King Charles during his speech from the throne. Not because it is the motto, song, donour club of the UCP. No sir.

I expect nothing less from these inhumane monsters, Republicans. The very worst of humanity is running 🇺🇸. Just wow.

Just imagine 20 years from now and reading accounts of this 🇺🇸 criminal insanity. Like us now reading about nazi Germany. It blows the mind that it was all real.

Dear CTV News. Every time you put Poilievre’s comments on the news, I turn the channel.

So if you want to keep losing more viewers keep putting him on!

I’m going to stop watching CTV News permanently if you keep giving him a platform!

In another step towards fully transforming into MAGA state media, NBC News has officially terminated all of their teams that were specifically dedicated on covering issues that involve LGBTQ+, Black, Latino and Asian Americans.

This isn’t journalism, it’s fascism dipped in hate.
