Weโ€™ve been invaded and are now occupied by the fascist regime. Where is our corporate outrage? The communal โ€œNOโ€ should be deafening!

"The Atlantic Lottery Corporation announced that a winning $15-million ticket, sold in Miramichi and matching all seven numbers, was selected in the main Lotto Max draw on Tuesday."

Hope it's someone I know!

When I was in my early 20s (in the early 90s) I lived in Canada and Walmart bought out the entire Woolco chain and turned them into Walmarts. I had the misfortune to work at Walmart as a cashier. Worst job I ever had. They laid me and my husband off on the same day. No empathy for a young couple.

It seems fascists only are concerned about how people feel emotionally when you call a fascist a fascist!!

Observations from Montreal An ever-changing collection of commentary and observations by Montrealers or about Montreal politics and culture.

โ€œA report by CBC revealed Poilievre hired the team behind Canada Proud to โ€˜boost his messages online.โ€™ The org has been caught running disinformation campaigns targeting Mark Carney. Canadians deserve to know every last detail about Poilievreโ€˜s ties to Canada Proud.

A normal leader who is not committing atrocities would not do something like this. Also, it should not be *possible* to do something like this. Which phone companies bent over and allowed this type of access?

I donโ€™t think the president should have the power to just arbitrarily declare online that IKEA cannot do business in the United States for no particular reason other than he feels like it

Nothing wrong with what Jimmy Kimmel said except for that the political party in power didn't like it. This is the most blatant attack on free speech by the American government in recent history.
