Democratic socialist, former Masshole with a PhD, and a fondness for the expression "I like the cut of your jib." Southwestern Nova Scotia--except 17 along parts of the coast.
This.
Literally exactly what the Founders worried about. Exactly.
A foreign country bribed the president with a bar of gold.

Another example of why Canadians are so fortunate to have the healthcare they do. People in the U.S. are beginning to wake up to the fact of six-figure debt even while insured. Canadians should wake up, too: the healthcare grass is not greener on the other side. #cdnpoli #uspoli #healthcare
The cheap health insurance promoted by Trump officials has this catch
As millions brace for higher insurance prices, plans touted by the Trump administration are attracting attention. They are cheaper, but coverage is often skimpy.

Rep. Dan Goldman is spot-on here. The upcoming vote on this MUST pass, but there will be a significant pressure/extortion campaign on Republicans not to support it. #uspoli #cdnpoli #epstein
@repdangoldman.bsky.social is the best. We need more members of Congress like him.

Even Canadian hijackers are polite and responsible. #cdnpoli #uspoli
When a man hijacked a bus in Hamilton, Ontario, on Tuesday, the potentially catastrophic scenario ended happily. It turns out he was a pretty decent bus driver. He made regular stops to pick up passengers, the police reported. At one point someone tried to board with an expired bus pass. No dice.
A Man Took a Bus for a Joyride. Turns Out, He’s Not a Bad Driver.
The incident in Hamilton, Ontario, ended safely with an arrest and no injuries (and all fares paid).

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

WTH is wrong with these people?? John Lohr should stick to growing tasteless herbs. The only upside to the guaranteed deterioration of already inadequate Provincial services is that some people might wake up to the fact that the Houston government is atrocious. #novascotia #cdnpoli

Watch if you can bear to see the depths of cruelty to which we have sunk as a nation.

My son is a non-speaking autistic, and he also cannot "comply" with random orders. He would find being sat upon, yelled at, and restrained horrifying and deeply traumatizing.
ICE agents in Chicago violently detain a non verbal autistic man for being “non compliant”

He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care

This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person

They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him.". #uspoli #cdnpoli

AOC: I have to tell you, in my traveling across the country, I am hearing and have been seeing consistent things from everyday people. And it is that they are terrified, they are frustrated, they are angry, and they are shocked by a president violating the values that we hold dear

“The conventional wisdom would tell you that I am far from the perfect candidate. I am young, despite my best efforts to grow older. I am Muslim. I am a democratic socialist. And most damning of all, I refuse to apologize for any of this,” Mamdani declared to a roaring crowd at his victory party.

It clearly isn’t! And anyone who has drunk the Cool-Aid of American Exceptionalism and believes that 🇺🇸 healthcare is better, cheaper or more efficient than 🇨🇦 …well…🤷‍♀️
I've lost count of the number of times I've tried to explain the American healthcare system to Canadians who believe that healthcare in the U.S. is somehow better, more efficient than that in Canada. It absolutely isn't. #cdnpoli #novascotia
