Canada needs to just say that we are accepting LGBTQ people from the USA as refugees at this point, this is getting to a place where we cannot just stand by
Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor.
He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down.
The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him.
This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies

Since 1947, the Canadian Rangers have provided a military presence in the Canadian North.
Experts in wilderness survival, they cover areas of Canada that are not practical for conventional Army units.
Considered to be "always on duty", this is their legendary story.

This is act of war shit.
Incredible — After shooting at a group of diplomats from nearly *two dozen* countries, the Israeli military says it "regrets the inconvenience caused."
The diplomats were from China, Brazil, India, Russia, Japan, Canada, Mexico, France, Türkiye, Spain, Portugal, Jordan, the UK, Egypt, and more.

The massive funding given to the US woman who called a young child a racial slur which went viral, was more than likely pushed by Russian intelligence to create the illusion of white supremacist solidarity and consolidate existing online groups / accounts operated by their agents / collaborators.

Welp I guess I'm going to have to cancel my new EMDR therapy for my cptsd I was about to start because I'm having nightmares about the price, which is well above my ability to reasonably pay for 😮💨

Bans on transgender competition in sports tend to be controversial, with some even otherwise supportive people siding with such bans. I present the moderate case against doing so.

MAiD is a eugenics program in #Canada. It's whole point is to Cull disabled people, it left the dignity of controlling your death in a terminal condition long ago. Now its just a genocide program for disabled Canadians

Good, maybe this can be a wake up call to how the mental health crisis needs to actually be dealt with in a serious way. We don't need preventable tragedies like this to keep happening
A Canadian judge has ordered a man accused of ramming his sport-utility vehicle through a Filipino heritage festival crowd, killing 11 people, to receive a mental health assessment to determine if he's fit to stand trial.

I spoke with UN Secretary-General António Guterres today. In this time of rising conflict, Canada is ready to lead.
We will build coalitions, defend democracy, and stand up for our values on the world stage. As others step back from global leadership, Canada is stepping up.
