Keep meaning to tell you that I love my rainbow maple leaf earrings! 🍁🌈

Huge crowd tonight on Vancouver Island to see MP Charlie Angus speak at the “Canada Resistance Tour”—and an amazing shoutout to MeidasTouch from the Maple Meidas in Cumberland, Port Alberni, K’ómoks First Nation, Nanaimo, and the Comox Valley.

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

Yes, they voted for this "You knew damn well I was a snake before you brought me in."

New in PN: Yes, they voted for this

"Perhaps the most damning commentary about the US electorate and media is that Trump never even tried to conceal his malicious intentions and deranged policy positions."

Followed!

We need to talk about Rachel Because our democracy is not going to make it through the next years without strong journalists.

CTV news needs to do better by @rachelgilmore.bsky.social!

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.

What will you do?

The Western Standard welcomed a member of Germany’s far-right Alternative für Deutschland onto its podcast for analysis on Canada’s federal election

Last year, a German high court issued a ruling finding the AfD is pursuing anti-immigrant and anti-democratic goals

Seriously: arrest him. The governor should have state police arrest him and charge him with election fraud. Then immediately hold a press conference explaining you arrested someone for committing election fraud and will continue to do so. Just fucking arrest him already. You can actually do this

As I just said on radio what is most alarming about Danielle Smith tape is not the attempted collusion with a foreign government to interfere in our election it's that she said Poilievre is "in sync" with "new direction" in America which is a brutal autocracy with a crashing economy 🇨🇦 #CanadaSky

I can nazi anything else after seeing this image

I mean, my favorite lunch lately has been Szechuan chili crisp-fried eggs with Japanese mayo, mozzarella cheese, green onion, and cilantro wrapped in a tortilla, so…. Yay multiculturalism!

I needed some new measuring cups and went to home hardware to see if anything was made in Canada… and was pleasantly surprised by several brands manufactured here. Including some great stainless steel ones that I ended up buying. Picked up a new garlic press at the same time, just because I could.

Who Needs Bourbon When You Have Award-Winning BC Liquors? | The Tyee From a Delta bog to the Great Bear Rainforest, the province’s distilleries infuse their spirits with local flavour.

Reporting on all the great BC spirits that can replace your US bourbon is, on the other hand, a lot of fun.

YOU'RE WELCOME. @thetyee.ca

ICE Abducts & Disappears US Green Card Holder Mahmoud Khalil ICE claims it is acting on US State Dept orders, without warrant or charge, and refuses to inform Khalil's U.S. Citizen wife or his attorney of his whereabouts

On Saturday Trump abducted a legal US resident w/o a warrant because he peacefully protested. His wife is a US citizen, is 8 mo pregnant, & neither she, nor his lawyer know where he is.

This Is Fascism.

Sign the petition, call your Rep to demand Khalil's release

I was doing so well this morning! Put on some laundry, took the dogs out, started making a big brunch, did dishes, fed dogs. Feeling pretty smug. Then I tried to make coffee without putting a mug under the coffee maker 🤦🏼‍♀️
