I find the willingness to be unpolished in an interview kinda refreshing. Avi Lewis and Shannon Devine speak of the by-election in Beaches East York, with former Toronto city councillor Janet Davis giving an endorsement.

While the odds favour the big-business first Carney Libs in this by-election, the community may realize who's really on their side in this one.

My wife sent me this petition just now... when I opened the webpage the count was 107,000... but my wife's computer said 123,000.

It now says, after I signed 5 minutes later, 123,706!

That's 140 signatures a minute!!

Calling the Government of Canada to:

1. Formally declare Pete Hoekstra persona non grata and request his removal as U.S. Ambassador to Canada;

2. Raise with the United States the pattern of conduct by Ambassador Hoekstra inconsistent with the Vienna convention on Diplomatic Relations; and

3. Direct a parliamentary committee to review U.S. diplomatic interference in Canadian domestic affairs.

The revival of a distinctly Canadian (“progressive”) take on conservatism, in Alberta, the birthplace of Canadian fascism with a conservative face? I am watching, with great interest.

Officially starting the Tim Horton’s Boycott today.

My daughter is working there, under protest (not given any opportunity not to wear the garb or not make the products, she’s a baker)

I wish JK would just go away.

No Iced Capps for me for a while. 😢

Wow! This petition to turf US Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra out of Canada has blown up: more than 105,000 signatures as of this morning, and the numbers are still growing rapidly.
It underlines the mounting anger Canadians everywhere are feeling over this monstrous administration to the south.
Haven’t signed it yet? Here you go. (Canadian citizens/residents only)

government knows it is climate change.
they know it is CO2.
they know it is fossil fuels.

Continuing to invest in fossil fuels is a choice politicians have made to prioritize fossil fuel corporations over the safety and health of people and communities.

we myst vote for politicians who refuse this pattern.

"We know that with climate change, we’re seeing a wide range of worsening hazards, including wildfire seasons becoming longer and more severe. That means to stay safe, people should prepare for emergencies year-round. For those who may be at risk of an evacuation in the coming days, I urge you to have a grab-and-go bag packed and ready for each member of your household, including pets,” said Greene at a news conference Tuesday to provide and update on the wildfire and drought conditions in B.C."

I think the most frustrating thing about the Carney government is the absolute fools who tow his line on social media… with pretentious 🇨🇦 arrogantly displayed in their profile.

Seriously. You are part of the problem. Wake up and vote for someone else.

There I said it.

Carbon tax gone. Fuel excise tax, suspended. Oh and hey look, the corporate lobby wants it all gone for good.

And yet gas is still bloody expensive at $2/L or more.

It’s almost like we voted in a federal government hellbent on increasing the profit margins of the companies responsible for our burning communities.

carry on…

Canada is already the sixth largest military spender in NATO. Mark Carney’s increase in military spending is shrinking the horizon of possibilities of what Canada could achieve elsewhere. #canpoli

I have a question about oil pipelines in Canada.

What happens in the event the Transmountain pipeline is overrun by a Rank 4 or 5 wildfire?

I know these pipelines carry different product at different times. I know they can be shut. But what would happen if it was a section transporting NGL-diluted bitumen?

We were at the hospital again yesterday for @Tree. Another rough day. We made it home after a few hours in the ER and she is OK now, sleeping off the experience.

The hospital and ER were full so while we were there we had a range of people flow through the beds beside us. An older gentleman with heart problems, a drunk man with heart problems, and a young woman, quietly crying for hours, coming down after an opioid overdose, confused and scared and hopeless. Occasionally sharp and upset, but mostly just quietly crying, talking.

It is so sad the human suffering we have allowed our society to tolerate.

I am so grateful we have good people; doctors, nurses, care aids, clerks, attendants, paramedics, even kind security guards and police, taking care of people. And I am glad all this is done without concern for financial ability to pay.

I wish our system was better in so many ways, not least in the ways it could help Tree. But in other ways, it is very good, and doesn’t get credit for just how good it is. Most of that is down to the people within it.

Most people, especially detached from money or power, are good. This is reinforced for me everytime I go to the hospital and see the random strangers that are there for every conceivable reason.

They just want to be happy, be secure, be with family, be occupied, be healthy.

That’s what I see at the hospital. People wanting to be happier, and people trying to make that happen for them.

I hope one day that young lady finds the people she needs to help her stop crying.
