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.

Kamala Harris: "Here in Chicago I'm told the helicopters that were descending on an American city were Black Hawks. Do you know what Black Hawks were designed to do? War. So I think everyone can draw their conclusions just based on the facts."

#cdnpoli #cdnpolitics A PM must represent all Canadians by speaking and acting ONLY in the best interests of our entire population. Poilievre is not fit to be PM as he cannot do that, so he is employing the #populistagenda of dividing and conquering Canadians in a failing attempt to gain power.

something quite brain-melting about the hard right's position apparently now being "we hate all Muslims and distrust Muslim states, aside from that one Muslim place that still has slavery because that sounds fun"

Doug Ford is not the mayor of Ontario!
“Simply put, the local issues that directly affect city residents should be decided by them and their local representatives.
Local affairs are not improved by having Mr. Ford blunder into them.” www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/edit... #topoli #onpoli

Globe editorial: Doug Ford is not the mayor of Ontario

The premier’s continual interventions in municipal affairs diverts attention from pressing provincial issues

In my newsletter this week, I call bulls*** on Ubisoft’s decision to cancel a game because killing Klansmen is now frowned upon in this establishment.
Uhh, also the plot to bomb the Supreme Court and the vindictive stupidity of the James indictment.

But mainly freaking Ubisoft
