[It's unfair] the number of people who are expected to pretend they care about jobs they don't care about. I'm fulfilling my contract, you can't put in the contract "also you have to seem like you give a shit"; I think that's expecting too much.

Please understand that we have all the necessary hate crime legislation we need on the books, it is enforcement that is the issue. Bill C9 is an anti-protest bill targeting the people it claims to protect.

NDP leadership hopeful Yves Engler went on JACKSON HINKLE's podcast 🤮
Hinkle is a huge spreader of disinformation, particularly pro-Russia disinformation, has called the LGBTQ movement “pedophile ridden,” and calls himself a “MAGA communist.”
This is...a choice.

Hey @gearboxofficial.bsky.social, when I'm redeeming SHIFT codes it always feels like I'm being punished for owning @borderlands.2k.com games on multiple platforms, cause I have to resubmit and scroll through multiple times.
When can we get a "Redeem for all" button?

Council's decision to instruct staff to draft a maximum heat bylaw made Hamilton a national leader in 2023. Now, in 2025 Toronto is poised to be the first to cross the finish line. When asked why, #HamOnt city staff said "Toronto is just a better city run by better people."

This terrible idea has been wished for on repeat by the most fascist-minded people in this country, repeatedly, for years now. No, you should not give the state security services a literal unilateral veto over the leadership of political parties. That is a national security state and how it operates
Here’s a no-brainer going forward in Canada — change the law so that anyone seeking to be leader of a National Political Party should be specifically required to submit for and successfully receive top secret security clearance.
Call it the Poilievre Bill.
