If it walks like a Canuck and talks like a Canuck, it must be a Canuck.
I have one simple rule for social media: if you just want to insult me, I block you.

Both Canada's LFS and the US jobs report for December are out. Canada added 303K in 2025 while the US added only 584K, in a country with over 8X the population. Adjusted for population, Canada would be the equivalent of 2.5 million, over 4X what the US added. That's just terrible.

You could always say how this is contradicted by video and eye witness accounts and so is a bald-faced lie.
President Donald Trump said the woman killed by an ICE officer in Minneapolis “violently, willfully, and viciously ran over” the agent who shot her in self-defense, making the claim within hours of the shooting, before investigators had completed their work.
Trump defends ICE, seeks to define shooting before facts are established
Trump seized on partial video footage to impose his interpretation of the shooting as investigators worked to establish the facts.

Government has given you hospitals, roadways, drinking water... Amazon has given you cheap plastic crap made in China. This is so dumb.
“You can still be rich even if you’re not a billionaire!” Sure—and if you strip billions from someone like Jeff Bezos, he’ll invest less in building things that actually improve people’s lives. Amazon has done more for the average person than the government could dream of.

So glad I have no clue who the fuck John Cardillo even is.
These people will fire and deport you for insufficiently glazing Charlie Kirk but openly celebrate killings against perceived ideological enemies.

Canada needs a travel advisory for the US (exercise a high degree of caution) given that ICE is just outright murdering people in broad daylight now.

5 year anniversary of absolutely nothing happening at the Capitol in Washington, DC. Exactly same as absolutely nothing happened on June 3, 1989 in Tiananmen Square. So says the ruling party.

I'm going to say it plainly: Vote scolding is good, vote shaming is good. You should be reminded that the choices you make have consequences especially if those consequences are dire. If you don't like people pointing out what your decisions lead to, try making good decisions.
Pretty fucking wild to see people in January 2026 whining about “vote scolding” to defend people who couldn’t get off their ass to vote against Trump. Whatever they thought of Harris, they can never honestly answer whether the world would be better if she’d won (lol of fucking course it would).

Very good thread about Venezuela:
16 hours in, my guess this was all intended basically as a coup to put VP Delcy Rodriguez in power (likely without her knowledge but 🤷).
At least for democracy & human rights, that might be even worse than the "opening shots in a war" scenario.
All speculation, but let me explain:

my greatest regret about not winning my election is that it would have given me vastly greater resources to FORCE the press to talk about the upsurge in white supremacy on the right
You know, at this point I'm not sure even that would get the press to have a meltdown

Rob is known for being the "you can do it!" guy in Adam Sandler movies. Before that, he was the "makin' copies!" guy on SNL. He's way out of his depth here comparing himself to Mark Ruffalo.

You could not be more wrong. You absolutely get to tell people that if they don't vote, the fascist could win. The ones who stayed home on election day in '24 are just as responsible for trump as the ones who voted for him.

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. There are no perfect candidates. When you have a fascist running for office, always vote for the non-fascist.

Won't somebody please think of the nazis?
Just thinking... we give so much attention (as we should!) to the victims of state violence, ie, people sent to CECOT.
But, we give little consideration to the psychic violence suffered by those tasked with carrying out the physical violence.
Yes, they "chose" those jobs. But...
