No tolerance for the willfully ignorant, mendacious propagandists, or religious hypocrites. Respect those with integrity, honour & empathy. Happy (dog) is my anam cara.

David Olive: Say what you want about Justin Trudeau — there’s still no arguing Canadians became wealthier while he was in power

In the Trudeau years, Canada’s economy grew by 41%, to $3.2 trillion. It grew by 18% under Stephen Harper, who governed for roughly the same amount of time.

Several well-placed lightning bolts and a Biblical style mass exile or two wouldn’t be amiss.

Can anyone provide me with even one valid, honourable reason why the UN should not rescind the Partition of Palestine and end the lawless, terrorist state of Israel?

Hey, @support.bsky.team; I thought this neighbourhood was supposed to be a kinder place than that other one... and yet @whitehouse-47.bsky.social (and dozens more fascist accounts) are infiltrating our neighbourhood. What's with THAT? Are we going to have to create a new platform? Again?

CDNMisanthrope Part Owner of Canada @cdnmisanthrope.bsky.social · 2d

Well, there goes the neighbourhood. 😒

On a moral, civilized society, it should be controversial to say that such a country *should* exist.

I find this very touching…& also worrying. Historian @timothysnyder.bsky.social has been an absolutely essential guide to this era. And if he thinks I’m right then we’re in more trouble than we realise

Timothy Snyder @timothysnyder.bsky.social · 7d

Carole Cadwalladr was right and we’d be in a better world if more people had listened.

This tweet has been doing the rounds on Twitter now that Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty.

If only someone had tried to investigate UKIP & Russian interference 🧐

There’s another timeline where the Guardian supported me, doubled down on the investigation & I look 5 years younger ..

The government would crash and burn if real journalists ever started to do their jobs instead of merely repeating the government’s lies.

Well, Trump is all about “pay to play,” and Qatar DID gift Trump with a rather expensive private plane, did it not?

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him.
www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn’t have a hotel room.

Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.

The US has never, not once, won a war. It has started many, and it has been a participant (usually a Johnny-come-lately) in ending wars. It didn’t even win its war of Independence on its own.

Like all Trump appointees, he’s a badly damaged person. Given his ‘thought processes’ and his years of alcoholism, it’s quite likely he has Korsakoff’s syndrome.
