Mark Carney is about to announce more of his “elbows up” major projects.

But under the surface, one that’s being sold as an Indigenous-led LNG project is actually — spoiler — American as hell.

That’s not even the worst part!

Top Three favourite facts about Frankenstein’s monster:

1. Probably a vegetarian/at least was for a fair bit
2. Is said on the page not to have had a concept of gender until meeting humans
3. Only asked for the Bride once it was clear Daddy would never love him (do with that what you will)

Shout out to everyone completely demoralized about the state of the world who still manages to get out of bed each morning.

And shout out to you, too if you’re still in bed. This shit is hard. Talk to your friends and neighbors. They’re going though it too, which is both terrifying and comforting.

This Remembrance Day, let us pause to remember all who perished in war and honour them by recommitting to peace.

Together, may we build a world where working people are never again treated as cannon fodder for power or profit.

in the offline world, trans people do not have the power to tell you that you disappoint us.

this space is the only space we have.

we have few elected leaders anywhere who look like us, understand our feelings and speak about the world as we understand it.

so forgive us for dropping the F bomb.

Really getting fed up with western world governments just arbitrarily deciding they not only don't have to listen to the people who elected them, but also having the temerity to be indignant at the very suggestion.
Mark Carney’s Liberals were not elected on a mandate to gut Canada Post, but they’re doing it anyway.

The minister intervened to begin the process, now management has now submitted a restructuring plan *in the middle of collective bargaining* that it refuses to share with Canadians.
