GPC didn't even share that this Live was happening on their social media. A curated group of May supporters primarily made up the comment section. Either that, or no one else cares enough to hold her accountable...but it you don't even let your members know about a public event...

It's 👏🏻 theater 👏🏻

@canadiangreens.bsky.social why haven't you reposted any of this??

I can understand a journalist (JB) interviewing their community (Jewish) - that's not unusual. But, as was rightly pointed out, this is why you should get independent feedback. Especially knowing it could be controversial.

Or maybe this was the PR plan all along?

Accounts and Accountability ft. Jesse Brown | The North State Posing the hard questions to Canadaland's founder

JB talks like a politician in this interview, and I don't mean that as a compliment.

Also, the whole statement of financial contribution at the start was weird. Like, was JB trying to show he's a nice guy? Was it a backwards conflict declaration? 1/2

I can't stop thinking about this song and what it means.

Dec. 6, 1989, 14 women were killed in a Montreal mass shooting by a loser incel.

This song is about that event.

We're still fighting for effective gun control laws next to a country that has abdicated all accountability & sanity on guns.

When I worked in bankruptcy and insolvency I met with debtors who had higher income from pensions than I did working in a FT management position. Part of that income was OAS.

So yeah, maybe stop giving <$1000/mon to people who don't need it and put it towards oh I dunno, UBI, for affordability now.

Elder millennials in peri menopause are ready to provide backup. 🙎🏻‍♀️

The cable, sent to all U.S. missions on December 2, orders U.S. consular officers to review resumes or LinkedIn profiles of H-1B applicants - and family members who would be traveling with them - to see if they have worked in areas that include activities such as misinformation, disinformation, content moderation, fact-checking, compliance and online safety, among others.

Holy shit.

Reuters reporting that new admin instructions on visas are if you worked at a platform in trust & safety or content moderation or on fact checking or online safety at an platform you *and your loved ones* are ineligible for H-1B visa.

She shouldn't have voted yes. She didn't need to vote yes. Don't tell me "Canadians don't want an election" when we know GPC just can't AFFORD an election.

This is actually her just displaying her true colours - she doesn't give a 💩 about Global Green Principles.

Surveillance crapitalism.

I would argue they are the same. So-called "political strategy" is just lying - whether it's blatant or by omission - and politicians play a game of chicken with each other and their supporters.

Politicians are the ones degrading democracy with this "strategy."

A dark and eerie digital painting depicts a long line of zombies shuffling across a decaying, elevated pipeline or bridge. The setting is a desolate, post-apocalyptic landscape under a stormy, purple-hued sky with flashes of lightning. The zombies are rendered in various states of decay, with exposed bones and tattered clothing, and some have glowing green fungal growths on their bodies and the structure they walk on. The ground below is littered with debris and skeletal remains, reinforcing the sense of destruction and despair.

A friend of mine thought of it more like a pipeline of zombies than a pipe shaped zombie

A skeletal, monstrous figure composed of pipes, metal, and what appears to be organic matter, standing in a desolate, rocky landscape under a swirling, dark sky.

Every time I read/hear "zombie pipeline" all I see is...

The Liberal team successfully fought off their right flank and attracted purple voters.

If they don't evolve and adapt to ALL Canadians' concerns, not just the trade-exposed ones (mostly boys), they will lose some peach/salmon coloured voter (mostly girls) in the next electoral test.

This was my thought, too.

Stories of creation aren't limited to Christian beliefs. So, within a World Religion or Cultural Studies class it could be appropriate.

Context matters. (And is perhaps why 18% are "undecided"...)

So my MP, Scott Reid, is the other dumbass who "couldn't vote" on the federal budget.

Hey CPC, can you guys just say you like it instead of this theater?

It's really poo poo caca.

Toronto cop penalized for taking photographs of domestic violence victim’s ‘intimate’ pictures A veteran Toronto cop who took photos of a domestic violence victim’s 'intimate' pictures while he was investigating her case has been docked 10 days’ worth of pay, according to a recent tribunal deci...

I have a used copy of this book. I got to experience someone else's frustration as I read. The pencilled annotations - underlines, triple circles, exclamation marks, and "WHAT?!"s - were a delight!

Narcissists, on the other hand, lack the ability to self-reflect. They rely on sycophants to reinforce and validate what they already believe.

Poilievre tries to turn the page from Front Burner on Hark Listen to the Poilievre tries to turn the page episode from the podcast Front Burner on Hark.

A hot take during this episode is that reflecting on one's leadership style would be seen as weak.

NO.

Leaders who are able to reflect build stronger teams because they actually know their weaknesses and find team members to fill those gaps.

Time for the Arachnophobia remake, apparently.

If you are travelling on the 401 between Napanee and Kingston, in either direction, be prepared. There are at least a dozen accidents and conditions aren’t getting any better.

If you've seen Threads you don't really need to watch The Day After - they are *pretty* close.

Unless you want to info dump about US propaganda movie knowledge on friends or family. (In fairness Dynamite works for that, too.)

I watched A House of Dynamite and The Day After and Threads is still the best... The Day After is second. Dynamite is fifth, probably.

A House of Dynamite ❌

The Day After ✅

Reviewer comment, "The AI memoir is so interesting!"

I just had a paper declined by a journal. The paper was on co-creation with AI (and outlining the problems).

Rejection with critical feedback is fine but the part that stands out is the excerpt I explicitly cited as AI was, "so interesting."

I'm sorry, the highest compliment went to AI. WTAF

New pod episode!!!! We dive deep into what Budget 2025 reveals about generational fairness — how rising costs and ballooning deficits continue to deepen the divide between young and older generations of Canadians. www.gensqueeze.ca/podcast #cdnpoli #budget2025

Political biases are obvious with MM or newsfluencers (?)

If it's partisan content, then be ethical and transparent. After all, there are EC rules about advertising. The chief agent should be approving content unless it is (clearly stated) personal opinion.

Good luck on parties obeying rules, tho.

Yes. Why?

WE HAVE THE SYSTEM POLITICIANS CREATED

They don't even have to be floor crossers: There has been enough talk about hyper-partisanship and the need for cooperation that all you need is enough regular conservatives to say, "it's in the interest of Canadians to vote in favour of this."

Cause chaos, go do the Hill Times All Politics Poll - Best and Worst of 2025.

Who would I like to have dinner with? Well, the MP in my riding so he'd be forced to respond to my questions.
