WATCH THIS. He gets it right

Nottoway Plantation: the so-called “White Castle”, burned down. With it, a monument to whitewashed brutality.

We don’t need romanticized nostalgia for slavery. We need truth. Let this be the end of pretending these places were anything but what they were: crime scenes.

The resistance is growing stronger in Canada.
We are not dealing with a trade war or a tariff fight.
This is about standing up to fascism and the attack on the rule of law.

Redekop says she's not sure why she was forced out of the venue, but wondered if her T-shirt with a transgender-rights flag and the phrase "You Will have To Go Through Me" might have drawn suspicion, despite not being an issue at the security check.

Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992.

Was there a breast cancer epidemic?!

NO.

Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976.

PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something.

This is also about autism.

Polievre says he will “cut income tax by 15%” but he means 15% of 15% for the lowest tax bracket, which is only 2.25%, an average of $900/year. This would cut our dental care, pharmacare, and $10/day daycare programs that actually help people in the lowest tax bracket.

If you're having a bad day, just remember that without security clearance, accidentally being invited to a group chat is the only way Poilievre is gonna learn Canada's national security secrets.

The election is being called. Get set to be swamped in a toxic sea of hate and disinformation. This is the right wing playbook in action.

Today, I launched an advocacy group and election campaign with @ocrhp.bsky.social. We demand that the next provincial government:

- Commit to building the housing people need/deserve
- Uphold homeless people's rights
- Have a compassionate plan to reduce homelessness

"Bullies don’t tend to tell you what their motivations were afterward, and they tend to lie about their intentions even to themselves during." Can confirm -- also applies to grifters and scammers (relevant to this administration)
"The people who persuaded me that Republicans are fascist are Republicans. What this tells me is that actions are persuasive in ways words are not. I mention this because a lot of people seem to think that what is needed in this moment is persuasion."

As Premier, I will end chronic homelessness and make encampments a thing of the past.

We will take a housing-first approach, put a roof over people’s heads, and connect them with the supports they need.
