Ryan Northcott 🇨🇦

Pierre Poilievre's latest campaign commercial (you know, with the old white men golfing) was non-union, and the actors were paid thousands of dollars less than they deserved. But hey, he stands up for workers and unions and wants us to have powerful paycheques! Just don't ask to see the receipts!

My claim to fame for today. After commenting about Trump on @ryannorthcott.bsky.social's TikTok about the nightmare yesterday at the Whitehouse, I get this notification...

This is quite the rant, but I’m dejected.

The Conservatives aren’t going to do shit to help regular people.

Thanks Trudeau. Appreciate what you did right, appreciate that you cared about people, and I understand that politicians are flawed.

But you tried.

Stick together, we’re gonna need to. 🇨🇦

We keep giving corporations a pass. The first thing they care about is Shareholder value, then their own compensation, then marketing, then the actual product or service.

It’s why we have the enshittification of literally everything.

It isn’t Trudeau’s fault. Yet he’s resigned because of it.

👖

Trudeau didn’t get everything right, but I truly believe he cared about regular folk.

Among G7 countries, we’re doing okay. Could be much worse.

We kept blaming him for everything while corporations took salaries, pensions, and good paying jobs, and funneled that $$$ to Shareholders.

Buckle up.

This new brand of Canadian conservative, will they uphold and protect:

Abortion rights?
Healthcare?
Social Services?
Indigenous rights?
LGBTQIA2S+ rights?
Worker rights?
CBC?

Of course not.

They want to dismantle or privatize. It never ends well for the common person.

Buckle up.

When PP Le Pew is PM, do we really believe the middle class is going to grow? Prices will go down? The economy will flourish?

Of course not. For the wealthy and big business, this is Christmas Day all over again.

For marginalized people? This is going to be brutal.

Buckle up.

The freedom convoy won.
Postmedia won.
Russian funded puppets won.
Misinformation won.
Late Stage Capitalism won.
Privatization won.
Billionaires won.

🇨🇦🥺

Trudeau wasn’t perfect, I get it, but the manipulation worked.

Buckle up.

This is going to suck.

Calgary currently has the worst AQI in North America 👍

Can we just have one day without some geopolitical chaos? PLEASE.

Not right now South Korea. I’m bloody tired.

A mediocre Christmas tree but at least it’s up and decorated.

The tree is officially up.

If the world is in one big existential crisis after another, might as well read about it in nice tree lighting.

Yes! Awww Western…how have we all not aged 😂

Western! Hey Nicky - I think I remember you too :) Sunglasses get in the way haha

Person is with paramedics. Hope everyone is alright…

It’s a snowy mess driving and I hate it.

Lanes??

Where we’re going we don’t need lanes. Safe driving all ❄️ #yyc

Years ago I did a movie in Vegreville and we explored all the “World’s Largest…” around there.

The Perogy is special. And sort of looks like…something…

Don’t get me started on the Mudare sausage. #alberta

This snowplow is called "Oh Snow You Didn't" and that just makes me happy.

The best of the best snowplow names, "Brinestone" Plowboy" whoever comes up with these is a bloody genius.

It's that time of year again when I check out the snowplow names in Calgary. Brinestone Plowboy....YES. #abstorm

Lower please.

3 days into BlueSky and I’m seeing all the stuff I want to see without all the garbage from that other place.

Love it!

I hate it and I love it. And then I hate it again, but really, I do love it.

Speaking the ‘90s…pleats for days

Well this place is a breath of fresh air. I think I'm gonna like it here. Feels nice. Feels familiar.

To celebrate here's a pic of me in the 90s.
