If you're wondering why I don't post here: 1. The character limit here is less than Threads, so my longer posts (often 10-15 posts) have to be re-divided to fit Bluesky 2. Despite having twice my follower count here as on Threads, I get almost no response. On Threads, I have conversations.

Vincent Musetto passed away ten years, today. There is no reason why you should ever have heard of this former editor of the New York Post, other than he is the author of (arguably) the world's greatest newspaper headline: Headless Body in Topless Bar.

I saw a bit of the King's day, when he was working the crowd. As he shook a man's hand, the guy said to the King, loudly, "It's an honour to meet you, my friend!" What a perfectly Canadian thing to say! Polite, respectful, honest, and informal. I love us! #CDNpoli

Say what you want about Jagmeet Singh's leadership, and I can and have said plenty, but he helped usher in pharmacare, daycare, and dentalcare. He didn't write the bills but he pushed for them and helped pass them.

Musk can walk away from Trump and DOGE knowing his $250 million got him EXACTLY what he wanted. Not increased government efficiency, gutting the civil service, eliminating regulations, or growing his companies' govt contract work. He wanted to kill the multiple investigations into him. Done. #Elon

This is some serious Hail Mary Pass bullshit. It's not as desperate as the 2015 Barbaric Cultural Practices Hotline, but it's still really dumb. This is intended to appeal to voters who think, as one Ab UCP MLA put it, "painting a line down the middle of a road is too much government." #CDNpoli

I'm watching Navy SEALs, a silly 1990 action flick, and I see my second* most hated movie trope; movie driving. I just... Michael Biehn is a professional actor, and more to the point, had presumably driven a real vehicle at some point prior to filming this scene. * First is the Wilhelm Scream.

I'll say it again. If the CPC thought they could win on their actual ideas and plans, they wouldn't hide them or resort to dirty tricks and conspiracy theories. Their ideas are deeply unpopular in Canada, but they don't think that should get in their way. #CDNpoli

Poilievre was asked if he's repealing the current handgun ban & he's 100% deflecting. He isn't giving an answer at all. He's once again blaming Liberals for all that is bad. #cdnpoli #elxn45 #elxn2025

Plot twist: Once newly independent MLA Pete Guthrie went into the legislative chamber today, he tabled a copy of a letter that he had sent to the premier in February, the day he resigned from cabinet. In it is a new claim about the health procurement allegations #Ableg www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

United Conservative Party expels MLA who pushed for public probe of health contracting | CBC News

Here's an example from the last AB election as to why every vote counts Tyler Shandro lost his seat by 25 votes If 25 people have stayed home that piece of 💩 would still be in cabinet Every seat matters If we want Carney to win we have get out and Vote #cdnpoli #ableg www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...

Both Aaron Gunn and Andrew Lawton are social media influencers who built up large followings among right-wing audiences. Dropping either could spark a backlash with Poilievre’s own base. Thus the objectively offensive views of Gunn and Lawton are still welcome in the Conservative tent. #cdnpoli

Pierre Poilievre cheerleader Jordan Peterson endorsed Pierre by saying "don't let idiotically empathetic leftist women and old people" steal the election. #election2025 #canada #cdnpoli #jordanpeterson #pierrepoilievre #canadian #canadianpolitics #canadiantiktok #canadapolitics #canadatok #canpoli
