It is a very nasty virus this year with 3 children dead in eastern Ontario and CHEO seeing well over 300 cases so far, compared to 11 by this time last year. Flu shot to help prevent serious illness, influenza is not just a cold. Canadians die every year from it.

Hey #Ottawa: today is winter solstice - the shortest day of the year. The sun sets at 4:23 pm today. But don’t despair - it’s all uphill from here! 🌅

legitimately love this guy.
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

And yet a "majority" government formed under FPTP with less than 50% of the vote is somehow legitimate, Pierre? I don't think you'd be complaining if the Conservatives benefited in that way.

Dear Red Tories: cross the floor en masse! #cdnpoli
"The government is illegitimate!" shouts the morally bankrupt, intellectually bereft opposition leader as he attempts to channel the energy of Trump's election-denialism. "Stop the steal! Drain the swamp! Pizzeria basements! Where we go one we go a-a-ah heck."
Sobbing, he shuffles into obscurity.

Who is going to buy all this crude oil from this new pipeline? I doubt there is a market. Let’s see the contracts. #Alberta
So Canadians don’t want more pipelines, that’s clear. But wow, the statement simply presumes increased use of fossil fuels in either case. That mentality has to go. We need to focus on alternatives #cdnpoli #canpol
"Canada should increase output of existing pipeline infrastructure before building new pipelines"

The $1,776 Checks for Troops Trump Claimed Were ‘Because of Tariffs’ Are Actually Congressionally-Allocated Housing Allowances
He takes every opportunity to twist things to his favor. That’s why you have to check him on everything.

Jack Smith has requested that Jim Jordan release the entire video of his 8-hour closed-door testimony which he gave this week to the House Judiciary Committee.
Will Jordan release the video to the public?
If not, why not?

…”to speed up environmental consultations”…
I would just like to take this opportunity to remind Ontarians that Doug Ford has systematically kneecapped &!weakened conservation authorities in their efforts to protect the environment. He’d pave paradise for a casino in a heartbeat. #onpoli

My main takeaway from 2025 is this. What the fuck is wrong with Americans? Do you understand realize how the world views you? You say that Trump does not speak for all of you, so stand up for yourselves and fight against the tyranny that is being posed upon you. The world is watching.

Filled out the World Press Freedom survey this morning
Reminder that "freedom of the press" goes beyond a right to publish whatever you want
It also means laws to protect journalists from abusive lawsuits, protect sources and editorial independence, access to public info, unionized newsrooms, etc.

@mark-carney.bsky.social please forget Trump’s overpriced, problem-plagued F-35 fighter jets and go with Saab’s cheaper, more appropriate Gripen instead.
Enough with dependence on 🇺🇸American armaments already - they are no longer an ally or a friend.
