Retired long ago from telecom. I'm a cat lady. For the last 16 years I have volunteered in end of life hospice. My special place is a bench in High Park.

Everyone should watch this. Then share it with anyone who thinks these tariffs are a good idea and won’t crush small businesses.

TVA wanted political parties to pay $75,000 each to participate in its leaders’ debate. The Liberals refused. Good. Charging politicians for news coverage could set a dangerous precedent, by @althiaraj.bsky.social www.thestar.com/politics/fed... via @thestar.com #cdnmedia #journalism

Israel just committed *the largest child massacre in its history*, according to Haaretz. Two hundred Palestinian children murdered in a single day, with direct support from the US and UK, and zero outrage from Western media. What stage of barbarism is this...

This is just the start of misdirection and propaganda from Trump and MAGA followers, the last thing they want is Carney and the Liberals leading a united Canada. Anyone who takes Trump at his word is a fool.

Rosemary Barton: “It’s very difficult to believe.” Well, then that’s a “you” issue and that’s some pretty personal and heavy torque. Carney has followed the rules to a T with the ethics commissioner. Did she ever put it that way when asking Poilievre about no security clearance?

In the wake of Trump supposedly "voiding" Biden pardons, I'm re-upping my recent newsletter asking why major media won't address Trump's mental unfitness. They had no problem going there with Biden, who was simply old, not deranged.
Trump is mentally unfit. Why won’t major media say so?
As well as being a would-be dictator, he’s unhinged and incompetent.

11/ I have listed a variety of reasons why Liberal supporters and Canadians should be extremely wary of the election ahead. The honeymoon Carney period will be replaced by an all out aggressive campaign from several angles and from several quarters, including methods that worked for Trump.

The Trump Administration has said scientists cannot say "Climate Change." Well, we resist- climate change, climate crisis, global warming, the greenhouse effect, anthropogenic warming, an increase in average global temperature, ocean warming, ocean acidification, coral bleaching.

some helpful reminders:

-not all jews support israel
-criticizing israel is not the same as being antisemitic
-being pro-palestine does not equal being pro-hamas
-arresting someone for being pro-palestine is a violation of the first amendment
-violating someone’s first amendment rights is bad

I want to say thank you to all the women who are older than me and fought for everything we have, to the women who never pulled up the ladder behind them, to the ones who walked into the room as the first woman ever to be there. Thank you 🙏

What a great tune for a depressingly needless situation.
Trump has to go.
Hello folks. Jim Cuddy here. Due to our troubles with our neighbours in The States, I was inspired to write a little song. It’s called “We Used to Be the Best of Friends”. youtu.be/b5jgJZWG7aY?...
