As a Canadian I am happy for mainstream media to cover this story badly, so long as they cover it. The more that ad is seen the better. And all they are doing is keeping it alive in the reels!

Scott Reid slams Poilievre's attempts to retreat from RCMP comments: "He was not led into a discussion about throwing your political opponents in jail and getting them arrested, or that the police are despicable. He wasn't led there—he took himself there. His instincts drew him there."

Buying up distressed farm land at pennies on the dollar like a fucking vulture...

I still can’t believe Scott Bessent, whose net worth is $521 million, went on TV and claimed that he “has felt the pain” of the trade war because he is a “soybean farmer.”

And he claims to be a “farmer” not because he grows things, but because he is a landlord of some farmers.

Fun fact: one of those women that don’t exist who likes science fiction and Star Trek is AOC on Bluesky dot com

You know how many girls are just into Star Trek because of this guy!

Reagan's approach to the world prominently featured two things:

1) Russian aggression bad, Western democratic alliance good
2) Free trade good, tariffs and other barriers to trade bad

Pretending it's the opposite is the sort of reality inversion only someone who rejects truth itself could buy.

"Mate, I can't do anything but tell it to you straight. This Canada thing is literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The Canadians ran an advertisement showing Ronald Reagan being against tariffs. Guess what? Ronald Reagan was against tariffs."

I would have been performing deflating tire...

They were performing asshole in public?

To the person in the Costco parking lot,

No. Me reading in my own vehicle is not performance reading.

I am actually reading for myself. No performance here.

Sincerely,

Adelia, who reads for reading sake.

This Toronto crowd knows the assignment for sure.

Counter point: When the Nazi's are in charge of the American government and armed forces they should always be in the news.

Clean indoor air should be a basic right guaranteed by legislation. Poor ventilation is common, invisible, and public awareness of the health impact is low.

Here's a CO2 reading from a medical clinic (!) in Halifax yesterday:

I feel envious of all the Gen Z and younger types who go and look up his Wikipedia page for the first time.

A bungalow beneath a maple with bright scarlet leaves. For Halloween, the front yard has been turned into a graveyard, with a mock wrought iron fence and about two dozen (!) headstones, each with amusing epitaphs.

Closeup of one headstone: "H.T.D., age 4. It's too bad there wasn't a vaccine for this"

Clearly fans of Halloween. Overdoing it? Is that even possible?

But look at the headstone in the closeup. 10/10 no notes.

Maybe it was was a guy name Russ who moved outside Fredericton/Oromocto and set up shop?

2) Everyone knows that "Nazis bad," but we don't have nearly enough cultural power behind the idea that "US military bad" & "private paramilitary contractors bad." So I haven't seen him express the same distancing from THAT past, which is what my anti-imperialist ass yearns to see from ex-troops

**Do you think that America writ large has a Nazi problem?** Yes, of course. America has a serious antisemitism problem, as does the world, for that matter. You see it in this Young Republican stuff. Some of these people hold positions of power in campaigns and in political organizations. They are actively making jokes—legitimately racist, and not in a jokey way. That isn’t funny. That’s a problem. And the cancer of racism, the cancer of antisemitism, the cancer of Nazism, this is something that needs to be excised from the American body politic. It is something that we need to be fighting against every day.

In it, Platner is emphatically anti-Nazi. And I think that those of us whose values have long been clear to us sometimes have a hard time believing that others can believe contradictory things, and can change so drastically.

It's one of the biggest problems with movement-building imo, in fact

In this photo provided by WGME, Graham Platner, a democratic candidate for U.S. Senate, shows a cover-up tattoo that had previously been an image recognized as a Nazi symbol, during an interview on Wednesday, Oct. 22, 2025, in Portland, Maine. (WGME via AP)

“Going to a tattoo removal place is going to take a while,” he said. “I wanted this thing off my body.”

Platner said he was not ashamed to confront his past comments and actions because it reflects the lessons he needed to take to get where he is today. “I don’t look at this as a liability,” he told the AP, adding he sees it as “a life that I have lived, a journey that has been difficult, that has been full of struggle, that has also gotten me to where I am today. And I’m very proud of who I am.”

Graham Platner has covered up the tattoo using Celtic knot imagery.

I actually think there's some powerful meaning in that specific decision, to replace a symbol of white supremacy with one of interconnection and nature

And maybe ask what happened to Progonish?

Could be Rascalz, Checkmate, Cardinal and Thrust

Excited and beyond honored to have been called up to Antigonish to do the play by play for the AUS semis and finals.

Congrats @bondosucks.bsky.social on the Music NB award! What a week for you!

The United States, as presently constituted, is not a Constitutional republic.

In the American Constitutional republic, there were checks and balances between branches of the federal government, and laws that all officials had to follow, prominently including laws on the use of military force.

It's been five years since I've been there. Too long!

CC has entered the chat!

The minister is all over the place. "...I consider them minor.", on the infractions but then, "We need to hit them hard, and we're going to hit them hard on the next ones...". You got 40+ infractions. Minor, or not, hit those hard.

More than half of inspected N.B. gas stations broke rules, province says | CBC News More than half the gas stations inspected by the New Brunswick government this year after a major leak at a Woodstock station were violating provincial regulations that apply to their storage tanks.

Irving Oil, which the province calls the “responsible party” for the leak, is continuing its cleanup at the site.
