This is what I would expect from a PM who thinks Down With Webster is where it's at.

This is just about what I'd expect from someone who still hasn't covered up that Henry Kissinger tattoo they got when they were blackout sober in 2015. Ignore genocide, insult intelligence of anyone under 45, conflate Zionism and Judaism, etc.

At least Canada has the dulcet harmonies of Blue Rodeo to get us through November. While America has to settle for the indie dipthongs of Noah Kahan

An epic about a successful transatlantic voyage where sound design decisions were made, a safe course was set, & proper protocols were followed. Some TB, but nothing above expected levels. Everyone reflects on and celebrates a culture of sound policy. Clapping when the plane lands, 1912 style

Maybe the headline is that Angus Reid conducted a racist poll that inherently casts suspicion on any kind of reconciliation that goes beyond a paid day off and an orange shirt. And Chek news took the bait.

Donald Trump is weaponizing the Department of Justice against his political opponents. This is just the latest example. Everyone who cares about democracy and the rule of law needs to speak out loudly and clearly that this is wrong. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Blockading neighbourhood streets as civil disobedience would be one option...
Amazing that Brian Montague, who doesn't live in Vancouver and claims he ran to promote public safety, can't approve a motion that would allow residents to block off streets on Halloween with the block party process.

It's a restaurant on the Berlin/Montpelier line, and they serve fresh Parker House rolls at every dinner no matter what you order. Been around 100 some odd years

We lost our baby Vern last year, and this event was one piece of the grieving process that helped us move through it. There are very few non-denominational and public opportunities to gather with others and honour the dead

Big gratitude for everyone taking photos, writing down names, documenting the fascists (in boots and ties) for when their Nazi experiment fails.

He's still just another version of MAGA. Like when you have two asshole neighbours who hate each other. Please run this by someone first before framing it like this

Modestly priced? Just because we're in a housing crisis, it doesn't make us saps.
Stop pretending you care just so you can sell off our city and reward your crypto bros.

We are in the throws of a battle over who is going to survive the future.

A future marked by scarcity and disaster.

A future these people are accelerating.

That is what is driving the attacks on civil rights and basic equality.

Supremacist beliefs are the tool needed to justify human culling.

Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

Whoa. Chicago mayor calls for a general strike; now we're talking
