This isn’t the female gaze. This is the male gaze. It’s men who are obsessed with the physicality of other men. Women, in the main, would much rather see a man who looks like he’d make himself a stack of buttered toast and let you steal a slice

Notice how no one, not a single soul, has ever complained about the female gaze in entertainment.

I am begging Canadians to look at government policies objectively and then ask yourselves "If Poilievre was behind this, would I be mad?"
A horrifying amount of you are in a partisan cult where you're re-framing terrible policies as Good Actually! just because your guy is behind them.

Sorry, but Biden having cancer isn’t more sad than everyone else diagnosed with cancer this weekend. This should barely be news.

You know what? If you’re considering still voting conservative I would love to have a reasonable conversation with you as a social worker and health care worker. Please tell me the value Doug has added to this province during his time as premier!
#SignalBoost, at a time when 🇨🇦 is under attack by a neonazi regime promising economic warfare, #DougFordIsCorrupt, not only spends taxpayer money sponsoring Hannity/Musk/Trump propaganda, he thinks this is the time to STRENGTHEN ties? Including an energy grid? Ford is not only corrupt, he’s a moron.

It's just wild to me that a party letting people freeze to death in tents all over the province is even in the running, nevermind well ahead in the polls. Such an obvious failure of what should be a government's most basic duty of care #onpoli #ontariovotes

You’re letting Dougie’s nonsense sway you … he decreased healthcare funding significantly, only to put a small portion back just prior to calling the election.

A reminder that municipalities must manually adjust tax revenues every year. They cannot borrow money and run deficits.
Whereas, income tax revenues (and similar taxes such as sales) automatically increase with inflation.
Therefore, every year, we see municipal tax "increases" but not provincial
