I've lived all across Ontario and on a northern remote reserve in Manitoba. Visited 9/10 provinces and a territory. I love this place that I call home.
Mastodon is more my jam, so I'll probably lurk more than engage.

Probably the only good thing happening out of the Carney government thus far!
Pleasantly surprised to see that this looks like it actually might happen, rather than being ignominiously buried with the rest of the good parts of the 2025 Liberal platform.

New Zealand goes down the path of genocide against trans youth.
The Government is banning new patients from being prescribed the most common form of puberty blocker and is explicitly aligning NZ's future policy on this matter to the UK's. PR below.

This is the reason why people in power are trying so hard to maintain white supremacy -- because younger generations just don't live in the same society that existed decades before. They need to teach it anew if they're going to maintain the white racial grip over north america.

Important work from @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social that offers a clear explanation of why there is an intense push to change school curricula to make them more white supremacist
