I’m so sick of Polievre’s taxpayer funded election campaigning. He’s currently touring Northern Ontario spreading his special kind of Maple MAGA hate while his wife runs her private businesses out of the taxpayer funded lodging we provide them.
He needs to tour his own riding.

Canada’s boycott America movement is hurting innocent bystanders | CNN Business Virginia Distillery CEO Gareth Moore was bullish on his company’s American single malt whisky sales north of the border when 2025 kicked off.

As far as I’m concerned, there are no innocent bystanders:

'Life-or-death' issue: How one tool is identifying false health claims on social media

Patients are following false health claims and it's led to adverse outcomes. We can't deny that misinformation poses a serious threat. That's why @uwaterloo.ca has developed a research tool to track health misinformation patterns before they become potential catastrophes.

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

“A report by the CBC revealed that Pierre Poilievre hired the team behind Canada Proud to ‘boost his messages online.’ The organization has since been caught running disinformation campaigns targeting Mark Carney. Canadians deserve to know every last detail about Poilievre‘s ties to Canada Proud.”

Their waists and hands were tied together, forcing them to bend down and lick water to drink. The unscreened bathrooms contained only a single sheet to cover their lower bodies. Sunlight barely penetrated through a fist-sized hole, and they were only allowed access to the small yard for two hours. Detained by US immigration authorities for eight days, the workers and their families expressed shock, describing human rights violations and absurdities they could not have imagined as ordinary Koreans living in 2025.

Ken Dryden was the antithesis of everything Don Cherry stood for. And unlike Cherry, he actually won at the highest levels. He was an intellectual, an author, a politician. I was lucky enough to meet him in 2006. Unlike Gretzky, he never sold his country out. RIP. A true icon who was one of a kind.

Excellent news here in Canada:

There will be an overhaul of the Ontario vaccine registry to tackle measles resurgence and modernize Ontario's outdated vaccine records. The Covid-19 vaccine registry has been very helpful. Keeping track of all routine vaccines is very smart.

Greenland: US tells Denmark to 'calm down' over alleged influence operation The aim was reportedly to infiltrate Greenland's society and promote its secession from Denmark.

They told Denmark to calm down not because what they are saying isn't true but they don't want the whole world to know about it.

Why is it ALL on-air CBC News hosts say “Mr. Poilievre,” & refer to the PM as “Carney.”
The disrespect by CBC towards the PM & the sitting govt is palpable, digusting and disrespectful. They all need their asses fired. Instead of defunding the CBC, how about de-employing their anchors #cdnpoli

Moderna just received Health Canada authorization for its updated LP.8.1 variant COVID-19 vaccine.

The exciting part? It will be manufactured domestically!
Their authorization allows parts of the vaccine to be produced at Moderna’s new facility in Quebec, while the fill-finish will be handled by Novocol Pharma in Ontario. The domestically produced vaccine will be ready for this year’s fall vaccination campaign.

I mentioned to a couple of people that I had a surprise waiting to be shared when Moderna got approval for its updated COVID-19 vaccine. It’s approved, and the big news??? Completely produced domestically!!!!! 🥳🤩

Approved as usual for all aged 6mo+!
