Lol! Of course, if youโ€™re doing things right, you can hire a legit therapist and have the same experience, plus maybe your insurance covers some of it ๐Ÿ˜‚

That was my first thought as well. I know it seems to be a well-warranted repudiation of PPโ€™s leadership, but the fact that current Liberal policies are palatable to a present-day Conservative means theyโ€™re too far right for my tasteโ€ฆ

well I for one am shocked that "every aspect of your life gets worse forever and also look at my marble bathroom" did not turn out to be a winning election strategy

Dear CBC:

If Rosie is not going to hold their feet to the fire, please find someone who will.
No pushback on PP's lies.

You represent ALL of us Canadians.
Your journalists should reflect that.
And you should know that too.

Also true in ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ. I believe the main reason we havenโ€™t also slid into authoritarianism is the lack of Fox News etc; but our media ecosystem is going down the drain fast. The amount of both-sidesism even on CBC is depressing and theyโ€™re our only major bulwark against right-wing owned corporate media

Just watched the first video; it was fascinating! I learned many things, but maybe the most surprising was how small the population is - I grew up in Scarborough and knew so many Guyanese folks, I just assumed the area was more populous! Toronto must have one of the biggest expat communities?

Jamil Jivani Kicks Off 'Restore The North' Campus Tour | Your Morning
YouTube video by CTV Your Morning Jamil Jivani Kicks Off 'Restore The North' Campus Tour | Your Morning

๐ŸงตWhy should Canada be worried about Jamil Jovaniโ€™s โ€˜Restore the Northโ€™ campus tour?

The name echoes โ€˜Make America Great Againโ€™, it unapologetically mimics Charlie Kirkโ€™s campus tours and CTV is normalizing this, including Charlie Kirk, and ignoring the authoritarian push.

Donโ€™t be fooled by the Ontario Ring of Fire ads aired during Blue Jays games | The Narwhal Doug Fordโ€™s ads during Blue Jays World Series games suggest mines are up and running in the Ring of Fire in northern Ontario, but thatโ€™s not true

Tomorrow marks the beginning of Treaties Recognition Week.

To celebrate, Doug Ford is trying to bully Indigenous communities into letting him build roads and mines to dig up crucial minerals in their communities.

And lying about it in expensive ads. Obvi.

A note to Canadian parents: Itโ€™s Game 6 on Friday, so Halloween is over at 7:30 pm this year.

If you show up at my door after then, Iโ€™m giving your children chewing tobacco.

Tomorrow, from 9 AM to noon, St. Albert students are organizing a walk-out and a march in support of Teachers.

As a dad, former Teacher and education minister, I support this. Missing school is warranted in support of social justice and civil right.

Iโ€™ll join them.

This! I was looking for story on what was happening with the hurricane yesterday, and the top two results focused on what was being done to protect tourists at resorts. Like, I donโ€™t want the tourists to die, but I was more concerned about the locals losing their homes, businesses, hospitals, etcโ€ฆ
