31... Dating a 19 year old...

I'm not surprised he's worried about antifa. Probably hates women.... (Men will often date younger women bc they have less life experience to know they are being manipulated and groomed)

If he can't get a date with someone his age, yellow flag... Minimum.

It’s always what happens. Most of Bush policies targeted our own population, Regan’s "war on drugs" which did nothing to stop drugs, but did a lot to lock up Black and Brown ppl. Most of the time they use the tactics of fear to make ppl comply to these new policies.

Black People Knew This Would Happen

Generational experience has taught us what happens when the state builds a weapon for someone else: Sooner or later, it finds a way back to us.

Being better than Poliviere isn't where Canadians should draw out lines

We want and need better ppl in politics. And that's only going to happen when we take charge and start talking politics with friends and family

Get into fights about this shit. Pull us back to the left.

Doug Ford (he ended Wynn's uni pilot program, but the data we had/have shows it was working)

Canada doesn't have to try to reinvent the wheel.. we just need to realize that Canada strong doesn't mean Canada only. We can and should be learning from other countries.

Ppl still afford their mortgage?

Probably not if they don't have work

Ireland JUST finished their ubi for artists program and they're keeping it. For every pound they put in they got 1000 back... Why is Carney still waiting until 2026 to start his pilot?

Why isn't he demanding the data from

Coverage. The feds should add it to the universal in our healthcare.
Dental, glasses... These things shouldn't be tied to employment... Seeing as we aren't investing in long term employment solutions

Building houses is fine n all, but what happens in 5 to 10 years when the building stops? Can those

The second we got a second, even more conservative party running... We all should have started reaching over the table and slapping our relatives upside the head.

You want an easier life? For things to be less expensive? Then we need socialism. And way more of it.

Ontario doesn't have script

People think that when you become disabled, support magically appears

That once it’s “official” you will have your basic needs met

The truth is people fight for years to get the bare minimum in benefits

Caregivers are nearly impossible to find

If you’re not rich or very lucky… you’re on your own

I need medication money

Spouse still can't find work and the govt says my disability pay is enough for 2 ppl to live on

How... There is no script coverage in Ontario.

It feels like too many ppl need miracles.... Both big and small.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

My name is Olfat, a mother from Gaza.
I am trying to keep my family alive under the endless bombing, hunger, and fear.
I am sick and under treatment, but I still do everything I can to protect and care for my children.😔

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

Sitting here comfortably from Canada and my mouth is hanging open
Not surprised but still shocked.

So... How are these Americans any different from others who impose religious death penalties on ppl.
Oh right, they're Christian and white so it's a pass.

Bluesky keeps deleting Palestinian accounts.

What is the difference between them sharing their go fund mes and myself posting my Kofi link asking for money for food?

Sakher’s account was shut down — the only place where he spoke to the world about his pain and his suffering.

That account was his only voice, his way to survive and keep going.

Today, Sakher lost his last connection to the world.💔

You can get pharma care if you get on the trillium benefit... But don't ask me how the hell it works bc I don't think it does.

This province is exhausting and we need more health rights on a federal level

That way we have Canada wide coverage for things like script coverage

It's pathetic we don't

This is us — Sakher and Reem.
Two years of war took everything from us.
Our homes are gone. Our futures shattered.
We carry the weight of loss every single day. But together, we’re still trying to hold onto a tiny piece of hope.
