People are changing the labels on Wayne G's wine: "a merlot that is sad and 2 faced" "as weak as the name-sakes moral fibre."
There is a reason why Canadians dominate comedy - we are wickedly funny.
And when push comes to shove we play for keeps
(ie. Kharmalov's ankle).
Sucks to be you Wayne.

So you did this. Are you happy with your result? You have doubled down all day. You are not serving your country. You have sold to the highest bidder.

I have never been so ashamed of a Canadian journalist as I am of you at this moment. Nothing makes this right.

Donald Trump says Canada has no right to exist.
I take the threat seriously. With our sovereignty on the table I support a national discussion on next steps.
But CBC thinks it would be fun to have an American DJ co-host whether we should exist as a nation.
Fuck that @ianhanomansing.bsky.social

@cbcradiocanada.bsky.social you are using language that normalizes a threat to Canada’s sovereignty and, as we have seen, mirrors Putin’s language about Ukraine. Do better.

Every child in our province deserves a life of dignity and that starts with a great public education.

I’m proud to stand with our Educational Support Workers in Fort McMurray.

They deserve better. Alberta deserves better.

When I reported death threats on X I was told it doesn't violate community "standards."
But a strip joint got tagged for "hate speech" for poking fun at American spellings.
Musk-olini is going totally monkey-wrench our election.
And Ottawa is asleep.

Second verse, same as the first. Education support workers in Edmonton are on strike now.

Don’t let the UCP gaslight you.

The government is the funder for these critical workers. The UCP is choosing to fund education at the lowest level in the country. That choice has consequences.
