People are churning butter on runs. We're sorry to be the ones to tell you this | CBC News Runners have discovered they can churn butter by strapping bags of heavy cream and salt to their torsos and running around for an hour. And yes, they're eating it.

The world is wierd ...

I just need to post something not depressing

Israel/US are erasing the monuments of one of the oldest civilisations on earth because they can't win a war they started.

Hey There Canadian News Folks!

Quick question: Where the f@ck is your coverage of the Paralympics?!?!

I'm really sick of this ableist shit.

Have you ever watched sledge hockey ? It is awesome

Get your shit together

Love,

I don't live in Toronto any more. A little over an hour north west of the city. When it's called, I'll probably try and come down once or twice to help out

@bsky.app why isn't "Require alt text before posting" turned on by default?

Having the setting is good, having it off by default is not. Show some respect for your visually impaired users.

We are set up to respond to emergencies within 72 hours.

Dedicated, expert teams are trained to be ready, even in the world’s most remote – and sometimes dangerous – places.

In the Middle East and beyond, when an emergency hits, UNHCR is there.

I think public mobilization is key with anti-war rallies. It could force them to keep out of the war especially if it could affect them electorally

Uni-Rose was the north part of Olivia Chow's old riding. Liberals know it can possibly be lost to NDP. Lots of UofT students and profs there

Scarb SW is more complicated. Especially if the former NDP MPP runs. There is a significant Muslim pop. and the NDP won during the Layton wave. It be a grind

Folks desperately wanted to believe him and unfortunately a good chunk of men don't want to admit they were duped

The two Toronto ridings going into federal by-elections are University-Rosedale and Scarborough Southwest - both provincially NDP held seats
