I want to see every Canadian politician wearing one of these for all of November. More than ever, Canada needs to remind the world of the horrors of war, and why we MUST Remember.

We will REMEMBER them.

Ah, I see Poilievre has progressed to the stage of Trump Playbook where he *checks notes* pushes to jail his political opponents.

Fun!

Campaign finance / elections laws. His sentence was deferred (a lot like SNC Lavalin). He wasn’t ch-fed with the crimes, on the promise he wouldn’t violate-te fun-nice laws -gain.

Except he h-s. So many contributions -re illegit. And if he gets ch-fed with new crimes, he gets hit with both.

I’d like to watch as he does tho 😂

Not nearly far enough.

If, and only if, he also receives a 80- grit sandpaper rubdown beforehand. And still daily.

(And for clarity’s sake, Miller has to do his own rubdown *shudders* I wouldn’t inflict that on anyone…wait…Russ Vought)

I’ve heard McDicks here too, and I’m in Manitoba. Not super common, but definitely around.

Love to!

As a Canadian, I am curious what the potential penalties are for “impersonating a law enforcement officer” in Canada.

No ID, no badge? Charge them with impersonation of a police officer. If they’re carrying weapons, charge them. Guns are NOT open carry here.

“well, you know what? It’s just the pill doing its job. All this trouble, all this pain, and you can’t even bring home a precious little baby.'”

That’s what a nurse said to a Nova Scotia woman being denied care for a medical abortion complication.

She nearly died at home:

Cherise Basque had a medical abortion for a high-risk pregnancy. But when complications arose, the mother of five alleges her treatment at her local hospital was a nightmare.

Hamas was also funded BY Netanyahu. For the simple reason that he would prefer to prolong conflict instead of ever considering a two state solution.

Netanyahu allowed the killing of Israeli citizens through his funding of Hamas. Also, he was warned about Oct 7 prior to the attack.

Dic-tay-tor.

THIS. I want to see a Canadian news sources follow THIS. The Canadian version. I don’t want to hear about Trump, and I don’t want to hear PoiLIEvre’s whining.

KatMarie @katmarie.bsky.social · 1d

What if the media just stopped? A total blackout No Trump stories. No White House drama for 1 week.
Instead, flood the airwaves with stories of laid-off workers, families torn apart by ICE, communities fighting to survive. Farmers losing their livelihoods.
America is hurting—and we deserve coverage.

I’d fully support this, but with the debt being paid by selling off Russian assets, Israeli assets, and Trump assets.

Cuz fuck all of them.

As a report into Alberta's surgical contracting process is finally due, health care advocates renew their call for a full #PublicInquiry.

The current investigation is a sham.

And that’s exactly the point.

Deportation or forcible transfer of a population is a crime against humanity.

Israeli government may have “released” Palestinian hostages, but also deported them to third countries. (Note I said hostages - NOT criminals, they were kidnapped from their own homes.)

This says everything. 🤬

“It didn’t take long before Israel resumed killing and besieging Gazans. Within 24 hours of the ceasefire’s beginning, Israel killed at least 35 Palestinians in Gaza and wounded 72 others.”

While we’re at it, let’s “disarm” the 🇺🇸. The GOP is committing crimes against their own citizens. Seems like they’re a solid candidate for disarmament as well.

Oh. OHHH.

I’m seeing the problem here.

Guns and armament for me, but not for thee (and the unspoken “cuz you’re not white enough). 🤮🤮🤮

I feel like that needs to be the tagline of the revolution: “There are more of us than there are of them” - because the small minority does an excellent job of screaming and propagandizing and funding both of those.

This is the first publicly released polling on Alberta education issues from a professional pollster in a while, and the results are super interesting.

ARI poll suggests contract dispute support for teachers: 58%
Support for AB govt: 21 %
Neither: 18 % #AbLeg #AbEd

New poll suggests bulk of public back Alberta teachers in contract dispute | CBC News

A new Angus Reid Institute poll suggests locked-out teachers have more public support than the Alberta government as a contract dispute cancels classes for a second week.
