this is happening at the same time that the federal government is acting to destroy library and archives Canada and decimate funding for archives across the country. we are sleepwalking into a greatly diminished democracy even without a US takeover.

When Israel says their violence is done to protect all Jews and make the world safer for us, we can only look at incidents like this and see that is obviously not true. They’re making it more dangerous for us EVERYWHERE.

Israel was attacked because netanyahu attacked Iran first. Temple Israel was attacked because netanyahu has, through his actions, increased antisemitism around the world more than any other person currently living on this planet.

Jews around the world will not be safe until Netanyahu is removed from office and Israeli aggressions against Palestine, Iran, Lebanon, and the rest of the Middle East cease.

(I say this as a Jew around the world)

literally the same day I read about the liberals cutting the prison librarian system to save $2 million. why the FUCK would anyone calling themselves NDP want to be associated with these liberals??!! has everyone gotten a lobotomy??!! I feel like I'm going insane.

what the actual fuck???!!! why does carney seemingly hate knowledge, culture, history, and ordinary people who didn't go to Oxford having access to any of the above??!!

the number of times I uttered "what the fuck" with increasing emphaticism as I read this paragraph.... easily one of the most deranged things I have come across!!!

this is so fucking upsetting. CBC television just had a banner year with the successes of North of North and st Pierre and recently announced plans to expand and fill the void in remote communities that have no local news coverage, and this is how you liberal fucks reward them???!!!!

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK YOU FUCKING IDIOTS CANADIANE ELECTED YOU PRECISELY BECAUSE YOU PROMISED TO PRESERVE THE CBC

someone should write something about how the trump admin insisted on changing the department of defense to department of war but, now that they have actually started a war, republicans are too scared to use the word "war"

I am generally bad at being on time for work (fortunately it doesn't matter and I just stay a little later at the end of the day). but today I actually left the house early only to be rewarded with a massive subway fuckup so I'm gonna get in at my usual time, anyway. what even is the point??!!!

dad's dad was a jack-of-all-trades, town musician, carpenter, violin maker. mom's dad was a career public servant starting as a food and drug inspector and ending up at treasury board overseeing the development of many of Canada's major airports. I guess one sounds rugged lol.

I hate cyclists. They don't know the laws and don't care. I live in a place with a famous cycling thing once a year. People train by my house, on country roads with no emergency lanes and no visibility, and spread out to take the entire lane. The rest of the year they play frogger everywhere.

I hate drivers. they don't know the laws and don't care. I live in a place with a famous driving thing once a year. People drive by my house, on one-way streets, and spread out to park in the no-parking lane. The rest of the year they try to crush the cyclists everywhere. #FixedItForYou

usually it means you are trying to flip your food too soon before it is ready to release. but also what other people said: preheat pan and oil before adding food. some things are also more sticky, like eggs and meat that has a cornstarch coating.

I visited NYC for the first time ever the next summer so, even though I eventually lived there for a decade and a half, I first knew WTC only as a large hole in the ground. never saw the towers in person. never were a part of my personal nyc landscape.

I was 14, in grade 10. I had a dentist appt that morning. came out of the appt just as they were starting to get news on the radio. sat in the car with my mom listening to the radio for awhile. when I got to class, no one knew, and none of my friends believed me. announcement made next period.

wait so when I instinctually resorted to playing Tetris 99 during some of the more stressful periods of my life, there was actually a scientific reason why it felt so good??!!

@mark-carney.bsky.social gonna be supporting every US attack on a sovereign country until they run out of other countries and attack us. and then no one will give a shit to defend Canada.

I should have mentioned my dad also had a lifelong history of being a complete rube. I have been going through his papers and like... he got involved in at least half a dozen different pyramid schemes. but he was a terrible salesman and often wound up lending money to potential customers

27.02.2026 17:15 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

he was so lucky to have access to world-class cancer care (at no cost to him), had dedicated nurses and RDs and all the rest he could call to get actual medical advice to alleviate his symptoms.... but no, he put his trust in fucking supplements from the fucking internet

27.02.2026 16:39 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

he was not an anti-vaxxer and did do chemo etc for his cancer (which did extend his life by a couple of years). but his insistence that actually supplements would save him and that his feelings were hurt that the rest of us wouldn't try supplements.... it was infuriating

my dad (who died of cancer last year) was into supplements for a long time. we had an argument about it (yet again) a few weeks before he died. he tried to tell me the reason no one knows their benefits is because "big pharma" doesn't fund trials on supplements πŸ™„

one reason (among many) why it is essential to create and support Canadian film and TV independent of the US media market

tbh, this was one big reason I moved back to canada after spending a decade and a half in the US. every time I came home to visit, I was noticing all the things that were changing positively here while everything in the US stayed the same or got worse. is canada perfect? no. but it is better.

wow, you are lucky to have two good dads!! my dad was more in the senile bigot category with an extra dose of country rube...

sorry @stevenmackinnon.bsky.social but this isn't good enough!! you "made it clear" in 2024 things had to change and they didn't. so now in 2026 you are again "making it clear" that things have to change??!! take concrete actions!! fire senior management!! put in penalties for delays!! I dunno

hmmmph. I had a similar thing happen recently, but fortunately, everyone else realized we didn't really know what we were doing and we took some time to do some more research. submitted the report today after a solid month plus of work.
