Left not liberal. Working class politics is my religion. Unapologetically socialist, Black, and a woman. Not tolerant, but fair. @Tori_TLCR on Twitter. Free Palestine!

It wasn't that they slipped away from mom. Kids do that. I had no problem stepping in to make sure they're safe.

It was that my acquaintance went inside the shelter after checking on them after they saw the kid was with me. They're like, "they're fine! They're with Tori."

No! Get your kid! Wtf.

Yes it takes a village, but don't let your toddler wander outside the bus shelter on a busy street and make me watch them. It's not my job. I did my job already, am tired and I am going home. 😭

I never mentioned Jews at all. It’s not nuanced. White people are stealing land and committing genocide for it in the Middle East. Period.

Two children stand in front of dodge ram pickup truck with a very high front hood height. One child does not even come up to the bottom of the truck’s large front grill, while the other just barely clears the bottom of that grill.  (Is grill the right word? I don’t know anything about truck parts) 

It would be absolutely impossible to see those children from the front windshield.

I hate these trucks. I can barely see over them and I'm average height for a woman.

From day 1, top Israeli officials repeatedly screamed it from the rooftops: TOTAL EXTERMINATION!

All you had to do was believe them
and you chose not to.

One man's emergency is another man's chill ass day at work.

Power outage at work today, spent the last two hours getting paid to sit in the shade on my butt and play video games while making sure a door stopper stayed in place since our fobs didn't work.

I did a very good job lol.

Fun Facts with Squidward Meme showing Squidward from SpongeBob and a speech bubble against a purple background the text says, "If the Fraser Institute praises our government's economic plan, the plan is bad for our society."

If the Koch funded Fraser Institute likes you, (as they did for Chretien/Martin's budget) you're on the wrong track.

Dale Smith tweeted: Singh is back up to demand concrete action on child care, which is, say it with me, provincial jurisdiction!

Dale Smith tweeted: Singh is back up to demand concrete action on child care, which is, say it with me, provincial jurisdiction!

Dale Smith quote tweets a reply from Marc Laferriere that says, "I'm just here for the jurisdictional questions about $10 a day child care." and Dale replies, "Simple: They negotiate with the provinces, building on existing agreements, and they put up enough money that the provinces can't refuse."

"But muh jurisdiction!"

Such a disingenuous man. I'm never deleting these screenshots, they come in very handy when talking to Liberal hacks.

Yeah don't know what else to call it. The part you apply eyeliner on your bottom lid. I cut it lol.

Wiping my face. I sweat like a pig at work lol. Was a little too fast and careless and scratched my eyelid right where you'd put on eyeliner. It's annoying.

Just gave my inner eyelid a papercut with paper towel. πŸ™ƒ

And now I have a new curse to wish upon my enemies.

Stings like a bitch when sweat gets on there.

The NYT is not being β€œgamed” by the far-right. They are not β€œfailing” to portray things accurately. They are not β€œmaking mistakes.” They are a propaganda arm of capitalismβ€” a large private corporation with values the same as the far-right.
They are antagonists, not tragic antiheroes.

Nah. Those people were brought in under the guise of "labour shortages". When they're gone the businesses will lobby for other forms of wage suppression. In addition to the public service we are seeing mass layoffs with things like HBC closing and thousands in university and colleges being laid off.

10.07.2025 12:44 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Thousands of public service lay offs have already happened. They just did it through shorter term contracts and not refilling the positions.

We will see but I suspect that this is overly optimistic.

A chart from the financial accountability office of Ontario from a report on income growth and mobility showing a median wage growth of 3% while productivity group 49% from 1981 to 2016. I made edits that show what workers get paid and value produced by labor.

Liberal and conservative ideologies make us poorer and the rich richer.

No they're not the problem but they are on the chopping block and that will affect private sector workers with more competition for jobs and fewer vacancies.

Conservatives are crabs in a bucket. They don't care if some of them get their legs clawed off as long as it's not them and they're the ones on the top.
