Your leaders want you to accept uncontrolled Covid-19.

Your leaders want you to accept negligence and denial.

Your leaders want you to accept repeated infections.

Your leaders want you to accept mass illness and excess mortality.

Your leaders want you to accept collective destruction.

Tonight in “war ravaged” Portland… a frog brigade standing guard outside the ICE facility.

Trump says there’s “nowhere worse than Portland”… and the frogs magically multiply.

They’re showing that he’s not only a liar, but Portland is still safe, still weird and still full of people resisting.

Three people in frog costumes stand outside the Portland ice facility at night. They’re holding a sign that says frog brigade

In short: It's time to wrap up the longest ballot protest. It's not working, and it won't work.

It's Time To Wrap Up The Longest Ballot Protest

The ballots really are long. And annoying. And counter-productive.

Watching Calgary mayoral candidates very obviously reading verbatim off their notes on @ryanjespersen.bsky.social's show. Seriously can't take this anymore. STOP READING YOUR NOTES LIKE A ROBOT, ELECTION CANDIDATES. It's a waste of everyone's time. Be a human being.

When Canadian Press reporter Wolfgang Depner asked Rustad if he was paranoid, Rustad said no. While the scrum was still underway Rustad’s chief of staff, Brad Zubyk, called it a “bullshit question” and said the reporter would be barred from asking questions in the future. thetyee.ca/News/2025/10...

Words are one thing, action is another.

The Liberals and Conservatives like to talk about defending workers. But if they really care about protecting workers' rights, will they support my #BillC247 to repeal Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code?
