Had to pick up B from school today. He was crying and upset for hours and school staff couldn't get him to calm down

They couldn't figure out the problem and I haven't been able to either, he's been acting normally since he got home

I hope someday he'll be able to communicate his emotions #Autism

All the pearl-clutching about Zohran Mamdani--by right-wingers who elected a half-senile old TV star president--is very amusing. For once the shoe is on the other foot.

ON THE LITERAL EVE OF A DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST MAYOR BEING ELECTED, ANNA WINTOUR KILLS PROGRESSIVE AND PROFITABLE TEEN VOGUE POLITICS DESK WHICH HAD JUST INTERVIEWED HIM

Asking rents in Montreal have doubled since 2019 Asking rents in Montreal have doubled since 2019.

My partially verbal son gets picked up for school by a van, but as we were leaving he noticed that our Halloween sign was off the door 'oh no! It fell!' told him I'd pick it up 'pick it up!'

We had to fix it before he could get in the van. One of the kids in the van said 'B is the joker!'

Ford government passes bill banning municipal speed cameras in Ontario The Ford government has passed a controversial omnibus bill banning municipalities from installing speed cameras.

“The Ford Govt in Ontario has passed a controversial omnibus bill banning municipalities from installing speed cameras.

It won’t do either, and he knows it.

It might get him “speeder votes” though.

This will kill more people.

BREAKING: The Trump administration is restricting the number of refugees admitted to the U.S. to 7,500 and they will be mostly white South Africans.

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

His grandfather was a millionaire architect, his father was a lawyer, and he went to an expensive private school.

Why are you trying to frame this as his only way to access higher education was through the military?

Hello! The Narwhal is looking to talk to people in Canada who regularly send money home to Jamaica, Cuba, Haiti or the Bahamas and might increase it in the wake of Melissa. I am at denise@thenarwhal.ca 💚

SNAP exists because politicians take campaign contributions from large corporations in exchange for letting those corporations pay a poverty wage so low that it must be subsidized with taxpayer money, paid by middle class workers barely getting by—all so 700 billionaires can have a few extra billion

Never forget what they took from you.

Your gentle reminder that Rep. Melissa Hortman was assassinated on June 14 and hardly anyone bothered to talk about it .

Yep. In Canada I grew up with them called pill bugs or roly Poly bugs.

I've heard of wood lice, but never knew that's what they were.

Trump and Leavitt watch with glee as the press is crumbling The administration is staging the news and telling reporters how to present it. When will it stop?

The White House Pep Secretary is a spoiled child.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

That was one of my first thoughts.

I can't even imagine how much it would have cost if we had to pay for my son's birth at 24 weeks and 117 day NICU stay.

I'm in Canada, so we only had to pay for parking when we were at the hospital.

If you want to feel the best of America again, attend a protest near you today.

All good people who love their country dearly.

May your protest today be peaceful and your message loud.

For the generations before you who fought against tyranny and fascism.

For the generations yet to come.

America has no need for Kings and Oligarchs.

The images that popped into my head! 😂

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

“Disinformation that preyed on people’s anxieties during COVID helped fuel the ‘Freedom’ convoy. It would later be revealed that Russian bots and Russian state TV had largely been behind the foreign interference that aimed to destabilize our democracy.”

Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ... I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy"
