Rants From Canada 🍁

Saw @maddow.bsky.social again mention that her mom is Canadian on a CBC interview.

It seems to me that with a Canadian citizen mom, Rachel herself is most likely also a Canadian citizen. Wonder if she's ever checked that out.

At least it was a clean skillful goal, and so far it doesn't look like the USA had 8 players on the ice!

No shame in that loss... and either way these Canada-USA matchups are great for Women's hockey in North America.

"They won't let them build a pipeline"

Trudeau - actually built a pipeline for Alberta when private interests would not.

Carney - promised to simplify the process for private interests to more easily build a pipeline

Bessent is just fucking lying

I fucking hate Jim Jordan.

That is all.

She DIDN"T drive into the FUCKING officer!!!

JD Vance you disgusting fucking couch fucking liar.

That ICE agent keeps engaging with motor vehicles and he got hurt. Maybe the AGENT is the fucking problem.

Dumbass #JDVance telling us about an ICE agent that keeps grabbing on to cars when he's not supposed to is not the fucking own he thinks it is.

#Clinton #Epstein #MAGA #Trump

Hey Trump, you fucking disgrace. That #ABC reporter is not a 'subordinate' of the Crown Prince or your sorry impotent ass.

You fucking lying piece of shit. Fuck you.

Blue Jays get out of a huge jam!!! Wowzer!!

two knights are standing in the woods and one of them is saying i 've had worse . ALT: two knights are standing in the woods and one of them is saying i 've had worse .

Live look at the dodgers and blue jays rn

I wonder if John Kasich is going to be giggling like an idiot that when the Supreme Court rules that Trump can run as Don Jr's running mate in 2028?

Contrary to what so many of these TV lawyers say, the actual text of the 22nd and 12th Amendments don't ban Trump running for VP. #MSNBC

To my fellow Canadians living in the United States...

It's time to come home. This mess you're living in has reached the dangerous part, and it's not looking like it's gonna correct itself.

I believe he said, "Fuck Nate Bargatze and fuck this stupid bit"

Apparently CBS is censoring the f-bombs during the #Emmys. Here in Canada CTV is letting them through... I guess they figure we can handle it.

hey America, it's just a fucking word.

Letter from GOP Rep Tom Tiffany to the Canadian ambassador about wildfire smoke.

Seriously, the #GOP ass clowns are so stupid it hurts. Let me speak on behalf of all Canadians to Rep Tom Tiffany of #Wisconsin.

Sir, you can go fuck yourself.

Like we want these fucking wildfires you mouth breathing moron.

Greg Abbott sounds like someone who doesn't want to be blamed for GOP fuck-ups.

Not sure that #WolfBlitzer at #CNN understands that the King was speaking as the King of Canada, and not as the King of the UK.

Actual footage of @steveboots.bsky.social shutting down people who are purposely ignoring his completely rational and logical point...

He said, and I quote, "Louis Riel really got screwed over!"

I almost fell off my chair. If my 65 year old father, that was taught in school that Riel was a traitor, can change his mind, others can too.

Education is a powerful thing. Unfortunately it sometimes take Herculean efforts to reach some.

People can change.

When I was growing up, I remember my father reacting to a news story on Riel with the words, "F***ing traitor!".

Years later, I was having a meal with my parents in McDonald's when they mentioned that they had visited the Batoche National Historic Site during a visit to Sask...

I now live in Winnipeg. This city dominates the province and I think it has much more eastern Canada influence in its history than the Prairie cities further west, so Manitoba ends up in some respects more like Ontario, and therefore culturally somewhere in between.

Other than that, Manitoba just seems more "middle of the road" in its politics. While we elect Progressive Conservative governments, they lose when they diverge from the centre.

I was amazed to find out that the Saskatchewan Act that created Saskatchewan actually guarantees that separate school board (same in Alberta). I've become convinced since that the literal constitutional document that created the province having religion baked in has affected the society differently.

It was also weird to have a city with a whole separate Catholic school board. In Manitoba most schools are "officially" secular since the early 20th century, with religious schools existing but being the exception.

It was definitely a more "conservative" place, and that's not to say that Western Manitoba isn't fairly conservative.

One place that it eally showed was that in 1999 they were still debating about school prayer. The last prayer I heard in school had been the early 80s.

I had the same experience on Twitter back in the day when I suggested that maybe those of us on the left should not be as loose with our words as many of those on the right.

Getting roasted for something you didn't say, in one case I said almost the opposite, is infuriating.
