Has there ever been another time where a federal government has had members from multiple parties cross the floor? This is quite the big tent PMMC appears to be building.

Ben Mulroney claimed to share footage of US airstrikes on Iran. It was actually footage from a 13 year old video game posted by a Chinese Twitter account shared by a MAGA podcaster. #benmulroney #canada #canadian #frankdomenic🍁

Royal Canadian Air Force Major Discovered on White Supremacist Dating Site The Canadian Anti-Hate Network has identified over 190 Canadian users of a white supremacist dating website, including a Royal Canadian Air Force Major.

Late last year, a white supremacist dating platform was hacked and its users leaked. One of those users is Royal Canadian Air Force Major Tristan Armstrong, who CAHN has linked to thousands of posts made on far-right forums between 2019 and 2024.

#Canada who makes the best fruitcake in Canada? And do they ship it? Years ago, I would order fruitcakes from a Texas bakery. I would really love to get something other than what the grocery stores offer. Any recommendations?

Sim taking multiple questions on his drug dealing claim.

β€œI really stepped in it.”

Says he works every day to retain support of ABC councillors.

I asked councillor Zhou if Sim was the only source of his separate allegations, and if he learned anything, but he did not directly answer.

In light of Sim saying that he said Orr dealt drugs based on seeing a mystery photo from a mystery person, I think it’s important to reflag this.

If this is an uncharitable interpretation, the mayor is free to provide more details of how he ended up seeing such a photo and believing it.

The Courageous Heart of β€˜True North’ | The Tyee A film about Canada’s largest student protest against anti-Black racism is a moving portrait of bravery and grief.

β€œTrue North” uses the 1969 George Williams protest to illustrate the bigotry that lurks under the thin veneer of Canadian niceness, writes @dorothywoodend.bsky.social.

Worth noting that on a different website, multiple ABC Vancouver officials follow accounts that post constantly about how Sean Orr is a terrible human being and make all sorts of unproven claims, including one account that creates AI videos of Orr doing all sorts of illegal or evil acts

Vancouver Mayor Sim’s behaviour with respect to his β€œclaims” against councillor Orr shows a willingness to participate in (and spread) misinformation. It demonstrates weak character and principles. He shouldn’t be in a leadership position. #CDNPoli #BCPoli #Vancouver

We've asked Ken Sim for a response to this, along with a question as to why he said in a statement that Lenny Zhou was "taking responsibility for sharing information that was not accurate."

I'll let you know when or if we hear back.

By not holding perpetrators accountable, 'good' men are complicit, effectively giving their permission for the assaults to continue. Actually, strike that, they are giving their permission for assaults to continue.

In fact, my experience was that even when the assault was confirmed by the perpetrator, 'good' men didn't do much more than shake their heads.
