You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

Councillor Tim Tierney is wrong about ‘Chronic No-Voters’ in his Ottawa Citizen Op/Ed on Saturday.
His opinion would be easier to take seriously if the comments weren’t coming from someone with a 15-year track record of being a reliable yes-man for every budget. 1/21

BREAKING Kneecap Not Banned from Canada. Sources Inside Prime Minister Carney's Office Confirm MP Vince Gasparro Went Rogue; Liberals Trying to Hush Story

OTTAWA, ON - In a dramatic turn of events on a day already marked by major announcements - Canada's recognition of Palestinian statehood and the tabling of a new federal hate crimes bill - sources inside the Prime Minister's Office have confirmed that Irish rap group Kneecap was never officially banned from Canada, despite Liberal MP Vince Gasparro's public statements. According to a senior PMO insider, Gasparro went rogue in making the announcement, lied about receiving authorization from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), and may have committed a serious breach of the federal Privacy Act, an unprecedented scandal in Canadian history. "The PMO explicitly asked MP Gasparro whether he had IRCC's authorization to make his announcement - he said yes. That was false," the source confirmed. "No decision had been made by IRCC or the PMO. His statement was completely unauthorized."

Kneecap was never actually banned from Canada and the Liberal MP who announced it has GONE ROGUE??????

What the fuck!!!!

This is unhinged!!!!

This one-woman show about a real-life all-female gang of thieves is absolutely wonderful, queer & dark & extraordinary. I'd love to see Margo reach the funding goal to do a 10th anniversary remount in at least two cities!

Outdoor stage at the Club SAW Courtyard, Ottawa. In the foreground are neat piles of cable and folded microphone stands. There is a piece of red carpet centrestage - where the drum set was. On the fence backstage are three flags. Left to right they are the Trans Pride flag, the Side by Side Weekend banner, and the flag of Palestine.

Good night #sidebysideweekend

Two 7 inch records one the left The Ape-ettes from Northern Ontario and on the right Sister Suzie from Edmonton. The Ape-ettes cover features the legs of the band behind a number of curling rocks. They are all holding curling brooms. The Sister Suzie cover features a drawing of green lips and a long pink tongue stick out with the words "Don't Want To" written on it.

Fun things in the mail from #retarecords for some Friday afternoon spins.

Voted for hope, but expect to be disappointed.

Purple lp plays on a turntable. In the foreground is the lp's cover. In the top right corner is the name Jimmie in yellow, all caps text. The album art is a close up of an animal's brown fur.

Today's spin: JIMMIE.
Love the way that Jimmie Kilpatrick captures the delight and uncertainity of it all.

A cassette tape by the band Change of Heart. The cover of the cassette says the bands name and the album name '50 Feet Up' in light blue text. The text is on top of a black and white picture of electrical cables and the cables used by the TTC streetcars against a cloudy sky.

The cover and the inner sleeve of the new album by the band Change of Heart. The cover features a mottled coloured back ground with framing lines arond a dark green border. The inner sleeve is white, the label is a rose colour and features a figure in a white shirt reaching up to the spindle hole.

Fun things in the mail: How it started, how it's going edition. Years ago (maybe '88?) I heard my first #changeofheart tune on #bravenewwaves Later on a trip to Toronto I bought a copy of 50ft Up - and have been a fan ever since. The other day the new #inthewreckage arrived from #yeahright records!

Three stickers from Transcare + A large round sticker, with seven drawn characters relaxing amongst flowers and grass. The second is a drawing of a person on roller blades. The text says Protect Trans Youth. The third sticker features the colourful letters 2SLGBTQ+

A couple of days late for #transvisibilityday but my stickers from transcare+ arrived. The organization recent got hit by funding cuts and a cyber attack and are, sadly, closing their doors. The are still raising funds to help their staff as the wrap up operations.
