Once again, despite having Canadian artists, Canadian content, my shows are always listened more in the US. Then typically from the UK second.
If you are a Joe Strummer or Clash fan you need to listen to the latest show.

This crap is too dangerous for kids.
I got the complaint in the horrific OpenAI self harm case the the NY Times reported today

This is way way worse even than the NYT article makes it out to be

OpenAI absolutely deserves to be run out of business

Nova Scotia's iconic Blue Nose is refusing to travel to Trumpland. This is a huge decision given the role they play in the international schooner festivals. But they will not cross the border.
The Blue Nose is your dime. If they can hold the line against fascism. So can you.
Keep the boycott strong.

you have to RE POST them because no one sees what post you like. And it costs you $0 to repost to help boost a signal for bands.

Last week my song choice Sonic Reducer was in the top 3.... now it's in the top 5.
I assure you that it takes less than a week to witness your song choice go from the top ten to being not in the top 25.
If you have $5 to spare, it's for a good cause.

RFK Jr. told people to take Vitamin A rather than the vaccine. Multiple children ended up poisoned. And the measles outbreak is ongoing.
“Physicians at Covenant Children’s Hospital in Lubbock, Texas, say they’ve now treated a handful of children who were given so much vitamin A that they had signs of liver damage.
Some of them had received unsafe doses of supplements for several weeks in an attempt to prevent a measles infection”
For Some Measles Patients, Vitamin A Remedy Supported by RFK Jr. Leaves Them More Ill
After the health secretary promoted vitamin A as a cure, parents in West Texas began giving their children high doses, sometimes to prevent infection.

"Let's not take the soul-sucking path of sacrificing the most persecuted for that which we deem to be most popular. I know that there are transgender children right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist. Well, I am."

While you’re committing to #BuyCanadian, please don’t forget that Shopify is a shockingly evil company 😡
In Canada, Shopify executives are heading up a group of tech executives pushing to bring DOGE to Canada, targeting foreign aid programs they don’t like to stir up anger over wasteful government spending.
