Real discussion:
CNN: Hey Dave it's CNN. Could you come on to talk about the death of Hulk Hogan

Me: Hulk Hogan was a racist scab and a liar. He hated unions, Black people, and the truth and that's why he loved Donald Trump. What time do you want me?

CNN: Great! Well.... so we'll keep looking

He's a Liberal. They lie egregiously when they campaign. That's their MO, and people fall for it. Every time. Trudeau, ChrΓ©tien, Martin... They campaign on the left and rule from the centre right. WHY DON'T PEOPLE SEE THIS?! (Not op, I know she gets it)

As an atheists, I've always had a hard time with folks saying "Bless You" after I sneezed. Gesundheit always felt clunky to me. I've found the perfect replacement. Whenever anyone sneezes, I'm going to say, "Expel those demons!" Don't give me a hard time for not being nondemonational. #atheism

Automakers want Canada to scrap its EV sales mandate. What would that do to emissions? | CBC News Auto industry representatives say they want Canada to scrap a mandate requiring a certain percentage of vehicles sold to be electric. What would that do to emissions? Here's a closer look.

Just because I know at some point there will be people who look at tweets from the past with the same appreciation that we might read a letter to the editor from 1935; I want to make sure one thing is stated unequivocally.

There was some of us who believed they should be sent to The Hague.

The United States and Israel do not want Iran to reach a place where it cannot be so easily bombed and interfered with, because its rulers are not geopolitically or ideologically aligned with the Western project. Israel, on the other hand, does not have to follow the same rules around nuclear technology because it is closely aligned with the United States. That’s despite the fact it regularly bombs and attacks its neighbors, steals their territory, and is in the process of carrying out a genocide in Gaza. As this whole back and forth with Iran has been playing out, daily reports have been published about the number of Gazans killed by Israeli troops for the terrible crime of seeking food. Yet Western leaders position Iran as the ultimate evil and rogue power in the region.

Iran is treated as the great evil in the region, even though it abided by the JCPOA and was seeking another nuclear agreement. Yet Israel bombs its neighbors and carries out a genocide, but is not considered a rogue or dangerous state by Western countries.

At this point Liberal stans are Canada's equivalent to MAGA.
They brook no criticism of their guy, be it Trudeau or Carney. They blindly support any action taken by their team, no matter how much it violates their professed values.

I don't think we talk enough about how dignity is also a human right.

Food, water, shelter, education, health care, representation...all of those are human rights that everyone should receive regardless of who they are. But it's also a right to not have to beg for them.

Women aren't responsible for men being left behind. They're responding to it.

Men have been failed by each other, those who sell them lies to keep them hateful, alone, and desperate.

Men are preying on each other. It's a problem, sure... and so is men preying on women. That is not the solution

I don’t think Canadians realized what they were getting on the foreign policy front when they voted for Mark Carney.

Despite the expert analysis saying Iran was not pursuing a nuclear weapon, Carney says he simply doesn’t agree because Iran is β€œnefarious” and not a US ally.
