I don't mean this as a recruitment strategy, though I suppose it's also that, but if I were a parent of queer or trans high school aged kids in the US, I'd consider sending them to university in Canada.

Hereโ€™s me, nodding in agreement with @charlieangus104.bsky.social as he calls trump & his MAGA party โ€œgangster fascistsโ€.
Youโ€™re right, Charlie.

We love American visitors, we know that there are a lot of Americans who are not to blame. Come visit any time!

I do feel for those who voted for Kamala but Canada has to boycott everything American. I have no sympathy for felon voters, they got what they deserve.

They made their bed, now they lie in it. Time to get new bed sheets, get to the streets and take this regime down. It will only get harder. We haven't bought any American produce, seeking out local farms is pretty easy where we live. We should have done it years ago, we aren't going back.

The new variant has been brutal around the world, coming here soon for back to school. Get vaccinated, whether you have to pay for it or not....it is your life.

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

โ€œCanadian media: Stop normalizing Trumpโ€™s propaganda. Canadians hate Trump for resurrecting Nazism โ€” thereโ€™s no diplomacy when it comes to the American president. You have a public responsibility to report with extreme prejudice, and discussing the ravings of a madman isnโ€™t journalism.โ€

I am so proud of our daughter's effort to make her yard more bee & butterfly friendly. She was nominated by a neighbour for the Kitchener in Bloom program. Next year, her yard will be all native flowers. We planted milkweed last year & have been rewarded with Monarch caterpillars! Every bit counts!

The evil is immeasurable. Our governments need to do more than issue letters of condemnation.

All I think about when I hear people say that itโ€™s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hoganโ€™s grave is that Emmett Tillโ€™s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply wonโ€™t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.

New COVID-19 variants surge as Kennedy escalates war on science The Trump administration is slashing health agency budgets and firing vaccine experts as highly transmissible variants threaten to double daily infections within a month.

"The 11th COVID wave is sweeping the US, driven by new highly transmissible variants. SARS-CoV-2 shows no sign of becoming endemic, as falsely promised."

"The average American has now been infected 3.85 times, meaning more than 1 billion COVID-19 infections have occurred since the pandemic began."

This sounds exactly like Ontario, same issues. It is unacceptable but somehow Ford's popularity has gone up a percent since he was elected. I wish your brother all the best, I hope he gets what is needed before his health worsens. I am so sorry this is happening to him.

I too am a proud Canadian, an immigrant to this beautiful country. We always plant red and white flowers but this year attempted to make the flag. It came out pretty good and will only get better as the summer progresses.

My parents stayed in their huge house until they died, it was a nightmare to say the least. My Dad was of the opinion that you don't downsize unless you can't afford to stay. We tried to convince them to no avail.

This is huge! The CSA is calling for universal respirator use in healthcare settings to prevent transmission of airborne viruses like Covid.

Public comment is open now.

Spread the word and letโ€™s make sure our voices are heard!

This is how we save lives.
