Lowell Green was a racist demagogue who used his CFRA radio show as a soapbox to rant about immigrants and target racialized communities in Ottawa
Contrary to Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe's eulogy here, Lowell wasn't proud of Canada – he wrote an entire book about how it wasn't white enough for him

Something I learned as I became progressively more disabled is that the worse off you are, in any regard, the less likely people are to have compassion for you. Unhoused neighbors know this better than anybody. They deserve shelter and care. We all do.
An article about this political moment, the role of journalism, and the very real dangers of state repression—told as a cheeky guide to buying a gas mask.
I’ve been sending it to everyone; it both delights and horrifies me.
Well done @sarahjeong.bsky.social

Apple & Google removed ICE tracking apps in their app stores.
TikTok reportedly suppressed videos criticizing ICE & the shooting of Alex Pretti.
Meta blocked Facebook groups tracking ICE & links to a database of agents that the government wants to keep secret.
Big Tech is enabling Trump's regime.
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Americans are not our friends, and the hint here is that the only thing these people value us for is taking our money.

The correlation between companies named after the Tolkien legendarium and their CEO/Founder being a chittering skinwalker fingering his own taint at the idea of draining the planet of all its resources and then fucking off to a sealed dome in New Zealand while everyone else suffers is extremely high

This thread is thorough, informative and, above all, correct. Suburban/rural council members deciding how urban issues are dealt with, are out of their depth and making things worse with their ignorance and refusal to recognize facts.
I asked the workers about it last week and they said that the plan is to repave the whole intersection next year which will take care of the puddle/pond. I will believe it when I see it, of course.
If blinking bike headlights also blinked in the faces of the riders who use them, nobody would use blinking bike headlights.
Staring at Canada's own gender-based analysis of its budget. Give you one guess at the main beneficiary of all the major spending investments....
The loss of the politics staff at Teen Vogue is an absolute travesty.
In a media marketplace that has been decimated by billionaires, tepid takes, and AI slop, Teen Vogue often stood out as a bastion of principled, purposeful journalism.
This sucks. Teen Vogue has been a real bright spot in political media. I hope the excellent journalists there find a home quickly.
And yet you have just capitulated to political pressure and demolished this important source of analysis and information. Give the award back - your just-fired reporters deserved it in spades, but the publication no longer does. #shame
omg I need it where can I get it
UK, Canada could both learn from this.
Thanksgiving in Canada has nothing to do with Columbus!
We are a colonial country with a million things to atone for but Thanksgiving is not one of them.
Our Thanksgiving is timed with the harvest and it's literally just "Be grateful for harvest"
US Imperialism has brain rotted too many of you.
A festive Thanksgiving dinner table featuring a roasted turkey as the centerpiece, surrounded by an array of dishes including green beans, stuffing, sliced ham, and a pumpkin pie. The table is decorated with pumpkins, sunflowers, candles, and autumnal flowers, with wine glasses and plates set for a meal.
Did you know the first thanksgiving celebrated by Europeans in North America happened in Canada?
Or that the Indigenous celebrated autumn harvests long before Europeans arrived?
Why do we celebrate Thanksgiving a month earlier than the United States?
This is the story.
