Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.
Do not.

It's not the threat he thinks it is.
Also, Canadian teams don't visit the White House. The Raptors didn't, why would the Blue Jays?
His ballroom sucks.

Disorganization and chaos is the point.

Disorganization and chaos is the point.
I have never witnessed a school year start off with this amount of chaos. So many classrooms without teachers and zero recourse for parents.
Never forget: destroying public education is the point.

“Ontario has been underfunding education systematically for years, while accusing school boards of failing to balance budgets.”
The Ford Government’s plan to eliminate school board trustees is anti-democratic.

It seems that every few years, another province toys with the idea of eliminating school boards—those pesky thorns of local democracy that stick in the side of governments flush with neoliberal fantas...

This is my favourite @stephenking.bsky.social book (writing as Richard Bachman) and I am thrilled that it is now a movie.
Bravo for the treadmills at the screening. Being escorted out for stopping is decidedly better than what happens in the story if you stop walking.

The treadmill screening of ‘THE LONG WALK’ took place, where every person had to walk on a treadmill faster than 3MPH for the whole movie.
If they stopped, they were escorted out of the theater.

There are perhaps no more iconically Canadian things than the Heritage Minutes and the music of The Tragically Hip. This Canada Day, we present a salute to Canada pairing The Hip’s “It’s a Good Life (If You Don’t Weaken’)” with scenes from the Heritage Minutes. When others forget, we remember.

Wildfires in northern Manitoba have now burned more than 4 million acres of land, forcing 25,000 people to evacuate their homes. WCK teams are working closely with Indigenous and emergency partners to support impacted families with warm, comforting meals. #ChefsForCanada

One of my great regrets is never seeing Chris Cornell in concert.
On this date in 2005 Audioslave became the first rock band from the United States to EVER play in the country of Cuba. 70,000 people showed up on a beautiful Havana night. #SetItOff

In space, Venus flanks Earth on the left, with a hellfire greenhouse effect. Mars on the right, which long ago had running water. Today, it's bone dry. Something bad happened on each planet.
Seems like the wrong time to limit the Nation’s capacity to conduct climate research.

I wouldn't be surprised if Smith had a Mar-a-Lago handshakes about Alberta becoming a state.
Carney won and Smith wants to take her toys and leave. That's all it is.

🚨 The Liberal Party will lead Canada's next government.
CBC just called it; too early to know if it'll be a majority or minority government.
"A stunning reversal," says the CBC: Conservatives led by *huge* margins throughout 2024, but Trump's arrival was a big factor in changing everything.
