Cooking, cats, journalism. Pretty left. Posting from the bucolic shores of Garrison Creek.

Doug Ford still has three weeks left of his 20-week summer break. Jealous? Should’ve been born rich, taken over your dad’s business, inherited the family home, and scammed your way into becoming the laziest, most corrupt premier with the lowest approval rating in all of Canada, babe. #OnPoli

An egg-shaped plastic toy from the 70s called a Weeble. It has a round face, pale skin, slightly sinister expression, and is under four active police investigations. Folks find it charming because it hands out free hot dogs once a year and pretends to be a man of the people. Not pictured: A small red shovel and a Tim Hortons egg sammich.

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

The older I get, the more clear it is that all our safety and well-being is intertwined. The same forces pushing racism are targeting trans people and immiserating the disabled and extracting everything they can from all of us. We gotta stand up for everyone because everyone is all of us.

Two years ago, I had 47 subscribers suffering through my dad jokes. This has turned into something Jocelyn and I never expected, and we're grateful every day. ✅ Watch the video I'm MOST proud of — MONTHS to produce, and hundreds of locals sworn to secrecy! ▶️ Watch it at: b.link/moderncanadian

I am not surprised that the Pentagon supports trolling Canadian teenagers who volunteer to serve our nation. We are proud of our cadets. As for the Pentagon, they abandoned sailors without provisions, committed war crimes at sea and murdered 168 school girls. What a fucking disgusting institution.

Very big jump for the NDP here, and it's more than reversion to the mean; they typically pulled ~20% before collapsing in the Carney rush in 2025, so hitting nearly 26 here took more than just their voters coming home. Promising signs for Avi's organizing strategy, still in very early days.

The Ontario govt took $60M out of public education and handed it to Staples. Tomorrow, 80K elementary teachers each get $750 of the misappropriated money to buy overpriced classroom supplies at an 🇺🇸 corporation. Please remember this the next time Captain Canada tells you to #BuyCanadian. #OntEd

We've got the "no 🇺🇸 booze" pretty well in hand. We've got the "no 🇺🇸 products/produce" well in hand. NOW, it's time to wake up about autos/trucks. If the VIN # starts with a "1", it's made in 🇺🇸; if a "2", it's made in 🇨🇦. Canada is virtually the sole market for US autos. YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.

He did. Therme Spa holding company bailed him out. “Ares Management, which is a global investment company managing hundreds of billions of dollars of assets, one of its subsidiaries purchased the Chicago branch of the Ford family’s label-making business” www.thetrillium.ca/news/politic...

NDP leader asks ethics watchdog to investigate if minister gave Therme 'preferential treatment'

Marit Stiles claims in her complaint that 1,000-plus pages of evidence gathered by the NDP suggest various ‘irregularities’ with how Therme won Ontario Place’s west island
