Now that's a verbal version of a Shawinigan Handshake.
Scott Robertson@sarobertson.bsky.social · 2mo agoChrétien: When you look at the polls, Canadians have never been more united. Thank you to Donald Trump for that. I should propose him for the Order of Canada, but I cannot succeed. Do you know why? Rosie: He's not Canadian? Chrétien: Because we don't give it to a person who has a criminal record.

Stony Plain, thank you for your support!!! Approximately 150 proud Canadians showed up to claim their #ForeverCanadian lawn signs.
At some point the endless string of corrupt behaviour has got to catch up to Doug Ford. How will this play with all the rubes who see him as 'one of them'?

At a certain point of wealth, what is being pursued seems not to be wealth, but the ability to make other people suffer. What's being pursued is immunity from human decency; the ability and even the right to be depraved with impunity. They get off on the suffering. www.the-reframe.com/where-it-ends/

Florence Ashley@floralashes.bsky.social · 5mo agoCarney: “I will talk about a rupture in the world order, the end of a pleasant fiction and the beginning of a harsh reality, where the large, main power, is submitted to no limits, no constraints.” Also Carney: “Canada supports the USA committing war crimes by bombing Iran.”
I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.
I’m finding myself torn between a “Try to find the humour in it all” and a “This looks like a good place to start digging my bomb shelter” mindset so I might try writing some satire while on my breaks from mixing cement.

Every single woman you know has had this happen to her. Even the goddamn president of Mexico.
Kathleen Bachynski@bachynski.bsky.social · 9mo agoBrava: “If I don’t file a complaint, then what message does that send to all Mexican women?” Ms. Sheinbaum said at her daily news conference, noting sexual harassment was a crime… “If this can happen to the president, what’s going to happen to all the young women & women across our country?”
My sister in Halifax sent this pic she took of a guy greeting tourists down at the Halifax pier! We’re Nice!

One of those days when you tune in and discover you’re at war with Eastasia.
This is a wonderful piece that shows the absolute courage of this girl and her family and team. The viciousness of anti trans hate, particularly from Christian organization is astounding. Thank you @brucearthur.bsky.social for not being a bystander to hate and bullying.
Went to a Liberal rally tonight. Heard prime minister Carney speak. He is very human and funny in his stump speech. The last liberal rally I attended was for Pierre Elliot Trudeau. Kinda dates me. I’ve mostly voted NDP in the interim but not this time. #elbowsup.
