This does not bode well for Canada. The US National Security Strategy under Trump is Europe is on its own and our sphere of interest is all of the Americas (North,South and Central). Canada, like South America is a vassal to American business. Plus Russia is good. #StopBuyingAmerican #cdnpoli

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.

Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.

What Phillip said. All of it.

Whatever cause is at thee top of your list— What are you doing to fight back?

Complaining on the internet doesn’t count.

Did you write a letter? Make a phone call? Knock on doors? Make a donation? Talk to a neighbour? Organize a meeting? Do something else?
Let me start off by saying that I know all of us are busy and exhausted and just trying to figure things out as we go. I get that. I’m tired too. And yes, I recognize that shaming people isn’t a great tactic to get people on your side, but I also just need to vent. 🧵 [1/N] #ABLeg #ABPoli

This happened in Canada 🇨🇦 as well. The Japanese internment camps.

I worked for a doctor who was a child in one of these camps. His family lost everything! It just overwhelmed me when I heard his story. They were Canadian citizens.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

"the issue isn’t that we need more 'boy-friendly' reforms. It’s that boys are socialized to compete only with boys and to read girls’ success as illegitimate or emasculating. The result is dissonance, resentment, and disengagement for boys—and hostile climates for girls."
