A proud Canadian & pragmatic, progressive former politician — you can’t change the world in a day, but you can at very least start. #BuyCanadian 👍👍 #BillsMafia since ‘81. Also root for: #BlueJays, #MapleLeafs, #Raptors, #SportingCP.
🇨🇦🇵🇹🏳️‍🌈 #YYZ is home. 🇺🇦✊
The latest #CPC defection also means that, for the time being, Elizabeth May holds the balance of power in the HoC. May she use it wisely! Never a dull moment in #cdnpoli.

That sound you hear is the cracking in the #CPC caucus. I think PeePee’s days are numbered. I also think PM Carney will have a working majority in House of Commons by time MPs return in late January. #cdnpoli

Whoa, we have a floor crossing! Conservative MP Michael Ma is joining the Liberals. He’s in the Markham-Unionville seat, in the Toronto suburbs

I’m watching #TTC press conference right now. The chair Jamaal Myers is a weak joke. You’d think they’d have thought about the Finch LRT issues that appear completely new to him before. He is #NotUpToTheJob. Mayor Chow needs someone competent in that position, pronto. #Toronto #topoli #tocouncil

Looking at the full World Cup sked, I’ve decided to adopt #Panama as my team (after #Canada and #Portugal, of course) since 🇵🇦 plays twice here in #Toronto. #VivaPanama #WorldCup2026

I just finished watching the #FIFA draw. After thoroughly defiling himself in the service of his master Trump, Gianni/Johnny should be ashamed of himself.

As for Gretzky, he thoroughly embarrassed himself. He’d have been better off claiming he’d never seen the names of these countries before. Gfg.

When I was Member of Provincial Parliament, I represented riding with large, vibrant Somali community that contributed greatly to rich diversity of Toronto, Ontario and Canada. Trump’s comments about Somalis in his country are abhorrent and disgusting. He is a racist who has no business being POTUS.

Between calling out blatant Ford govt corruption and leading fight against bad laws that will hurt people, @maritstilesndp.bsky.social is on a real roll. She needs to build on this to cement her standing as only real alternative to Doug Ford. Keep getting under his thin skin, Marit! #onpoli #ondp

Doug Ford tells someone protesting his disastrous Bill 60 to find a job.

The gall of the laziest premier telling someone to get a job.

He’s a loathsome human and absolute shambles of a leader who has never had the best interests of anyone but himself in mind during his reign of destruction.

It should be noted that #Stellantis executive who stood up parliamentary committee yesterday is former elected official herself. She was Ontario Liberal MPP and Wynne Cabinet Minister. If anyone should know importance and value of committee work, Teresa Piruzza certainly should. #cdnpoli

Colleen Jones has died.
One of the greatest curlers in Canadian history, she appeared at the Scotties 21 times, winning six championships. She also won two World Championships. Jones was also a broadcaster on CBC for four decades before she retired.

Legendary Canadian curler and commentator Colleen Jones has passed at way after a battle with cancer. She was 65.

Here’s how I’m going to remember my pal Colleen Jones.

Oh did we laugh.

A Canadian treasure. An immense loss.

Hubby & I have taken many cruises with large American cruise conglomerate. Our lovely Cuban-American cruise planner called this evening to check in. I told her we won’t be spending another cent until a certain “fucking asshole” is gone. I felt badly but she fully understood. #CanadaStrong

I was 6 when we arrived in 🇨🇦 from 🇵🇹. Growing up in Brampton, my grade school besties were immigrant/refugee kids from Vietnam, Laos, Jamaica, China, Philippines, even Ireland! We’d joke that we were our own UN. Pretend hillbilly JD Vance/Jimmy Bowman will never get it. Screw him! #NorthStrongFree 🇨🇦

While I don't *like* the Raptors Cup court, it is not deeply offensive in person. Which leads me to ask the question: Did anybody in the league turn on all the lights and look at these courts through a television screen at any point?
November 22, 2025 at 12:09 AM
I like the #NBACup concept BUT this #Raptors home court is horrifically, stomach-churning awful. Makes me want to chug some Pepto Bismol!!! 🤮

Hey @jd-vance-1.bsky.social / Jimmy Bowman or whomever you are: Aren’t your in-laws “foreign-born”? What about your master, Peter Thiel? Thought so. A suggestion: Go f*ck yourself and keep your fake hillbilly ass out of Canadian matters. Cheers, A Proud Foreign-Born Canadian

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination
Audio recordings, intercepted phone calls and other intelligence link Mohammed bin Salman to killing that Saudis say was conducted by rogue elements.

Trump is a disgusting, grotesque human being for many reasons. His reply today to a question about #Khashoggi is yet another. Every single American with an ounce of empathy in their souls should be embarrassed and ashamed for their country. #GodBlessAmerica
November 18, 2025 at 6:12 PM
Today, I remember Jamal Khashoggi. If you care at all about free speech and a free press, you should #RememberKhashoggi, too. Never let Trump, MBS and all their stooges forget him and what he stood for.

Italy opens an investigation to find Italians who were part of a trend of foreigners (possibly including Americans) paying big money to sniper "safari" in Bosnia.

Just awful. Find them and throw away the key.
🧵 La procura di Milano ha avviato un'indagine su alcuni italiani che avrebbero pagato membri dell'esercito serbo-bosniaco per recarsi a Sarajevo e uccidere cittadini durante i quattro anni di assedio della città negli anni '90
