Screenshot from CBC live updates article McDonald said police had responded to Van Rootselaar's home for mental health-related calls over the last several years. He said some of the calls dealt with weapons. He said firearms were seized from the home and the lawful owner of the firearms petitioned to have them returned, and they were.

A lot of disinformation and transphobia is already distracting from this incredibly important detail from the RCMP update on Tumbler Ridge:

No guns should have been in that home.

lol pieces of the ceiling at TD arena just fell onto the ice at the #Ottawa Charge #PWHL game.

I have not followed baseball since the early 90s but I want you all to know that your utter joy, enthusiasm and sense of community is downright beautiful to watch. Seeing an entire timeline covered in World Series posts rather than cynicism and doomerism takes? *chef's kiss*

Can they start games earlier than 8pm ET ??? Yes I know it’s a Friday but it is way past my bedtime.

So based on the criteria… the works of Shakespeare would be banned but the bible gets an exemption?

Why is crave always playing with us Canadians. It’s CASA I don’t have time to wait for yall to drop the episode!!!! #LoveIslandUSA

Maybe if we all listen to the 2010 olympics song “I believe”, the oilers will finally get their shit together and regain lead in the finals #playoffs #NHL #stanleycup #oilers #panthers

Hey @en.ottawa.ca @somersetward.bsky.social another day, another 30 minute period that not a single OC Transpo bus goes by a main Federal building hub during rush hour.

This is not worth the taxes or the $4 fare. #ottawa #transit @occtranspo.bsky.social @horizonottawa.bsky.social

Hey @en.ottawa.ca

If you want more federal public servants to use OC Transpo more… maybe make sure at least one bus stops by a major transit hub within 25 min at 8am on a Monday morning.

10/10 to the @theglobeandmail.com this election results widget #elxn45 #cdnpoli #canada #vote

It is 8AM on a Wednesday at a major transit hub… this is why ridership is down - it’s not reliable to get to work.

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

Fuck. This is so fucking stupid.

Anderson Cooper’s NYE drunk giggles could cure cancer. #NYE #CNN #BallDrop

Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen on NYE is my groundhog day, their energy predicts the year to come and shot count the weeks of winter

Me every time #cdnpoli is trending:

Anti-union sentiment is a bummer in general but genuinely sad for those of you saying "who cares about snail mail?"

This tells me you've never known the joy of a handwritten thank you card, a holiday card from grandma or a postcard from a friend traveling abroad.

Just a quick reminder that democracy is not automatic and you must diligently tend to its health if you want it to continue.

Watched an early screening of #WickedTheMovie … y’all I had FULL body chills at multiple points.

They did good by the musical and the book… incredibly well done. Cannot wait for part 2!

Now is a great time to increase funding for Canadian health research and innovation … just saying! #cdnpoli

Canada only has 4 and “the cardigan” wasn’t available from when I viewed it 30 min after the drop. So really only 3 available in Canada

All I want is one boring year that will be deemed, centuries from now, insufficiently notable to discuss by historians.

day 7 of not using twitter: the brain swelling has lessened. i see visions of the future, you are in it. dolphins splashing in the horizon

I've never felt more disconnected from popular culture than when I found out about the boxing match that many people are discussing right now, about 15 minutes ago.

Norman Rockwell’s freedom of speech painting — a man stands up in a crowd and speaks.

Not that you should need a reason but things are so brutal in the world right now that putting up holiday decorations early should not only be welcomed but also celebrated.

The last thing Twitter really had going for it above alternatives for me was breaking news and commentary on the fly.

But that seems to be shifting, with more journalists,
Experts, and outlets migrating to Bluesky.

Great stuff.

It’s about time!!! Conan will do so much better.

A poem for today:

I feel slightly bitter
My beloved Twitter
Has gone down the shitter

(Anon)

Reminding myself it took me 10+ years to curate my newsfeed on #Twitter - so it’ll take time for my Bluesky feed to catch up as more people join us over here!
