I am begging Canadians to understand that Canada Post, like public transit, should not be a business - it's a service.

Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.

It was in second grade that writer @cciccone.bsky.social first understood the stakes of becoming overwhelmed by her environment. As a child with undiagnosed ADHD, she tried her best to blend in among her peers, but not having the space to express herself came at a cost. thewalrus.ca/adhd-girls/

carla ciccone - Nowhere Girl

My pal @cciccone.bsky.social has a book coming out soon on women, ADHD and the impacts of late-in-life diagnosis.

I don't have ADHD and I still devoured this book because it's brilliant, heartbreaking, laugh out loud funny, and such a powerful example of misogyny in health care.

Order it!

Like many students in Ontario, my kids can't access their school library on a regular basis due to budget cuts/board decisions that were influenced by a lack of funding from the provincial government. Reading is important. Elementary schools need teacher-librarians. PLEASE VOTE. #NotFord #OntEd

I have not become completely numb; I can still be shocked by some depths of depraved sadism inflicted by this collection of despicable thugs, giggling sociopaths, and dead-eyed apparatchiks. May their days be short and frustrated.

Trump to pause promised tariffs for 30 days after speaking with Trudeau | CBC News Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Monday that U.S. President Donald Trump will hold off on levying tariffs on Canada for at least 30 days.

Psst. The Liberals had previously announced this beefed up border plan a whiiiiiiiile ago ago but now Ivanka's dad gets to act like this is a win for him.

Absolute fucking theatrics. Just a school yard bully being enabled by everyone around him.
