"Canada First" is a slogan.

If I was an ally of the United States right now - I would be really examining the relationship. Particularly countries that depend on US defence, could now have to worry about a shakedown from the USA when they need them to help.

In diplomacy, reliability is the most important currency.

How bad does your account have to be to get banned under Elon’s reign? The platform has loosened its moderation policies so much that getting suspended now seems almost impossible. But here's Tim Thielmann and Ian Ward. DAMN.

Why is the @bcspca.bsky.social selling these pins in their thrift shop? I asked them in person 1 week ago and they laughed it off. I’m back in the store and they are still for sale.

Bike thefts in Victoria drop to lowest level since 2011 A total of 377 bikes were stolen in 2024 β€” a 28 per cent drop from 2022.

This is what holistic safety and wellbeing looks like.

Our city-funded bike valet has drastically reduced bike thefts, and therefore costs and safety concerns for riders.

Let’s put into perspective how much Kendrick has murdered Drake’s career. He’s touring arenas in Australia and New Zealand right now to avoid the Grammy awards and the Super Bowl.

I love CBC. Truly β€” and I'll fight to the death to keep it.

But this week of all weeks, if I turn on the radio one more time and hear some interview with a washed-up playwright about the tulips they planted in '82 I will throw my radio, and then myself, into the sea.

Costco & Amazon - cancelling your memberships to both are two very easy and visible ways you can show solidarity with Canadian businesses. If their bottom line is affected then they will make big changes quickly.

Surprisingly powerful speech from Trudeau.

Only silver lining I can see from this absurd bullying and chaos is the prospects of pulling the country together, along with undercutting the momentum and rationale for the Conservatives.

MFer I grew up before NAFTA. I didn't have an avocado until I was 15 years old. I ate lunch in a Zellers cafeteria. I thought Robin Hood was just a guy who made flour.

I was made for this moment.

It’s time for Canadians to drop their Amazon memberships, stop shopping at Costco, Wal-Mart m, Starbucks etc.. and fight against this madness.

Trump launches trade war against Canada with a 25% tariff on most goods | CBC News President Donald Trump launched a trade war against Canada on Saturday by imposing a 25 per cent tariff on virtually all goods from the U.S.'s neighbour β€” an unprecedented strikeΒ against a longstandin...

If any of this BS was actually about fentanyl, the US could propose a joint partnership that no one would be opposed to

Trump invokes β€œtariffs” as a rhetorical device, not as an economic tool, because he wants his supporters to see him as someone who strongarms others into giving him what he wants

I'd love to connect with someone at Point Hope Shipyard about photographing some of their work. Do I have anyone in my circles that works there?

I ended up at the blues jam on Sunday at Wicket Hall. It was lots of fun hearing everyone play but also seeing all the blues and swing dancers it attracted. Can’t wait to go back! #yyjmusic

I was up at 4am with both my kids so we went for a walk and watched the sunrise along the Gorge waterway. The water was like glass and gave a near perfect reflection of the skyline.
