Mark Carney and Danielle Smith’s MOU is an abuse of power and a spit in the face to British Columbians. They will never ram a pipeline through BC without the consent of Coastal First Nations and Northern Communities, and we’ll make fucking sure of it. #bcpoli

I must apologize to Jays fans across Canada and around the world.
I was working the “mid-shift” (12-8:30pm PST) at a store open until 11. When I checked the score at 8:20, I saw the Jays up by one in the top of the ninth. I told the closers “I don’t envy you. The game’s gonna end as soon as I leave

A lot of folks who made "free speech" their whole bit have made it exceptionally clear that the only speech they care about keeping "free" is their own and that of those who think exactly like them

I’m less experienced with Laz or this race than Keith Dunn, but: you sweet summer child
Thinking about this logically, next year should be the easiest Barkley Fall Classic #BFC50k in the history of the race, as laz will want to atone for the low finish rate this year.

During this time of economic uncertainty when CEOs only can rake in a measly dozen-or-so million, we all need to do our part and work the first hour of every day for free.

“When mayors in other cities ask me how #Copenhagen afforded to invest in its cycling networks, I ask them how on earth they have been able to afford highway projects. We invested in bike lanes because that was the cheapest option.”

When Michael Jordan felt boxed in by his success in basketball he tried baseball. When Gary Brooks became synonymous with country he created Chris Gaines. And when JK Rowling created the most successful kids books of all time she reinvented herself as a petty, weirdo transphobia influencer.

I felt I had to read the judge’s full decision in the Hockey Canada trial today to better understand it. I underestimated how triggering it would be to see the court system fail to handle violence against women

Because America didn't want a king who lived above the law.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:
1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.
