All the pearl-clutching about Zohran Mamdani--by right-wingers who elected a half-senile old TV star president--is very amusing. For once the shoe is on the other foot.

When rents are rising exponentially faster than wages, it’s no wonder we’re in an affordability crisis.

Asking rents in Montreal have doubled since 2019.

My partially verbal son gets picked up for school by a van, but as we were leaving he noticed that our Halloween sign was off the door 'oh no! It fell!' told him I'd pick it up 'pick it up!'

We had to fix it before he could get in the van. One of the kids in the van said 'B is the joker!'

“The Ford Govt in Ontario has passed a controversial omnibus bill banning municipalities from installing speed cameras.

Ford says it will make the province more efficient & reduce red tape.

It won’t do either, and he knows it.

It might get him “speeder votes” though.

This will kill more people.

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

His grandfather was a millionaire architect, his father was a lawyer, and he went to an expensive private school.

Why are you trying to frame this as his only way to access higher education was through the military?

SNAP exists because politicians take campaign contributions from large corporations in exchange for letting those corporations pay a poverty wage so low that it must be subsidized with taxpayer money, paid by middle class workers barely getting by—all so 700 billionaires can have a few extra billion

Yep. In Canada I grew up with them called pill bugs or roly Poly bugs.

I've heard of wood lice, but never knew that's what they were.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

That was one of my first thoughts.

I can't even imagine how much it would have cost if we had to pay for my son's birth at 24 weeks and 117 day NICU stay.

I'm in Canada, so we only had to pay for parking when we were at the hospital.

May your protest today be peaceful and your message loud.

For the generations before you who fought against tyranny and fascism.

For the generations yet to come.
