Ontario beach has a giant military submarine that you can go inside An Ontario locale known for its clean, scenic beach that makes for the perfect summer road trip from Toronto also has some spectacularly cool history…

Oh, very cool! I managed to swing a ride on an Oberon-class sub in the early 90's. Not this one, the HMCS Okanagan.

As you listen to the hatred, propaganda coming out of the Poilievre camp about the PM’s cabinet picks, remember.
Each one of those Ministers WON their seat. Something Poilievre FAILED at. So who is more qualified? #cdnpoli

Went out for a stroll with my wife to enjoy the sunshine. This is "Sydenham Falls" around the corner from our house. Spring melt really boosts the volume. #spring #ExploreYourNeighbourhood

We’ve Officially Entered the Next Phase of Trump’s Dictatorship Era Taken together, these actions and declarations amount to a significant escalation in Trump’s transformation of his own presidency into an autocracy.

For those folks who have been waiting to climb the pole and ring the “constitutional crisis” bell, it would appear we have arrived. Neither Judge Sorokin nor Judge Boasberg believed that he was signing a meaningless order, and both judges demanded compliance that never came.

I remember it being unpleasant & a lot less fudge-y.

The funniest political picture I've seen in ages.

University of Alberta law students protesting Danielle Smith, Alberta Premier and Trump sycophant, to her face. Amazing.

FAA Employees Say Trump and Musk's Purge Is a 'Threat' to Air Safety Donald Trump and Elon Musk fired hundreds of Federal Aviation Administration employees. The administration argues it won’t affect air safety.

“There are currently four people remaining over there to do the work of 15 people. The danger to the national airspace can’t be understated."

"This is a very real threat to the American flying public.”

Kia Sorento stuck in a snow-filled ditch right besea stop sign.

Fun and games in the snow this afternoon. I cut the corner far too tightly and slid off the road. A tow truck and a few minutes of winching and I was back on the road. No injuries, no damage to the car. 😜

We just want to be left alone.

Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.

Please sign the pledge to support Canada. Please get your friends to sign.
We need to build a movement of people committed to defending Canadian values and democracy from the threats of Trump.
We need to hold our officials to account to represent our values.

Just saw this on Reddit and had to share:

"Be the geezer you want to see in the world."

Amen.

Hey Scott! Happy New Year! 😁

Hmph. I guess if I'm going to have an account, I have to post. Lol

So, hi. Lol

waiting to see if that Cybertruck will be spun as a terrorist attack or a design innovation

Ooof, a new year. Unfortunately, I really don't see a lot improving this year.

Standing up to the oligarchs appears to be fizzling out, as the ruling class would have it, Trump 2.0 The Return® comes into play in three weeks and Canada is probably going to wind up PP as our Prime Minister. Sigh.

If you're your own worst enemy you just need to get out more. There are wonderful potential nemeses EVERYWHERE

Not being toxic is HUGE. I missed the old Twitter so much: it was fun and I met a great bunch of local friends. This? Bluesky is heaven comparatively.

Occasional reminder that Elon Musk runs a Tesla plant in California that has intentionally targeted black employees for the most egregious racism and abuse as we've seen in corporate America in a very long time.

(Musk is now busy organizing Trump's government.)

Always appreciated, thank you.

15 minutes?! *Laughs maniacally*

Image of a public rest room with a tweet overlaid. The poster is talking about how they've never had trouble with trans women in a bathroom. But, they have had issues with men hassling them. Many, many, many times.

A beautiful picture in a difficult and painful time. Beautiful and sad.

Interesting that RFK Jr is big on raw milk too. This is not going to go well.
