The government of Canada has a questionnaire about it's new budget. Most of the given options are conservative (because this is a conservative government) but there are some that aren't, and you can write in your own responses.

Trump: "They (Canada) have charged our Farmers as much as 400% Tariffs, for years, on Dairy Products"
Fact check: ❌ FALSE
High dairy tariffs kick in if a maximum tier (Tariff Rate Quota) is reached but in reality it's never been reached, so U.S. dairy exports to Canada have remained tariff-free.

Bruce Arthur: Toronto’s Summer McIntosh threatens the most unbreakable record in women’s swimming at 18. Nothing is out of reach That Toronto's McIntosh can even approach the sport’s most untouchable marks at this age is astonishing; that she might yet break them tells you who she is.

In four days of swimming, Summer McIntosh has broken two world records and nearly broken two of the most unbreakable records in the sport, with one likely world record left to go. This isn’t just an incredible meet: it’s a statement of limitless intent. www.thestar.com/sports/amate...

We can get this to drop even lower. #ElbowsUp

In the fight for more nurses, Windsor faces an extra hurdle: Detroit After watching Detroit hospitals lure nurses over the border for years, Windsor officials are planning a similar strategy to help eliminate their own staff shortage…

For border cities like Windsor, the number of people crossing to work daily via car is pretty significant. Just nurses going from Canada to Detroit in 2022 was estimated at 1600 people. windsorstar.com/news/local-n...

For all you fancy boys and girls who say
'fracture' instead of 'break'
'larceny' instead of 'theft'
'interrogate' instead of 'ask'

You can thank the Battle of Hastings (1066).

One of the best concerts I have ever seen was Peter Gabriel in Montreal a couple years ago - like attending the best art show combined with the best music. Visual and auditory delight!

What burns me up even more is seeing 20 and even 30 or 40 year old books on for 8.99, 10.99 etc in ebook. No thank you. Now if only my library actually had a decent romance collection - until then I wait for sales on BookBub, and hope for the best. I want to support authors & my budget.

So infuriating that this is allowed to continue.

I wonder if they will be doing this near the Windsor-Detroit border too - busiest border crossing in the world. Absolute insanity.

At this point if it has anything to do with medicine/science we can just assume they are the WORST choice possible.

1/ For ProPublica’s “Life of the Mother” series, winner of the 2025 Pulitzer Prize for public service, we reported on five pregnant women who died after not receiving timely medical care in states with strict abortion bans.

These are their stories 🧵

You cannot wipe out 57% of the world’s global cancer research budget and just assume the only loser is going to be the US. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Wow!

Again Chapman’s proving why they are one of my favourite Canadian brands. (And tastes great too!)

The most interesting all candidates story I have ever read. The reporter who got to write the opening paragraph…chef’s kiss!

Among the many things that were spot on last night, this one hit with me particularly strongly. Very well said.

Poilievre tweet from Jun 2, 2022: Today I introduced a Private Member’s Bill to abolish all current vaccine mandates, and ban any and all future vaccine mandates. Give people back their medical freedom. Let them take back control of their lives. Join before Friday June 3rd: Pierre4PM.ca/Membership

Reminder as we watch measles rates climb in Canada that *this* is Poilievre's attitude towards vaccination during a public health emergency.

MMR vaccination has long been mandated for health care workers.

Would a Poilievre govt ban the MMR mandate in health care during a huge measles outbreak?

This is me - it has become my favourite word. 🇨🇦🍁

The question of if a country could fuck itself harder than the UK did with Brexit has today been answered.

Yes!! CBC Gem has so many good shows!

Far prefer the Canadian version.

51 here and said the same thing at the dinner table to our kids. Makes me sad and angry at the same time.
