Voted ✔️🗳️ A privilege that I never take for granted. We are consistently reminded by the world that democracy is just that, a privilege, not a right. So vote because it's your civic duty. Vote because many people in the world aren't so lucky to be able to do so. #Canadaelection2025

Pacers let it get hairy, but they hit big shotsand beat the Bucks in Game 2 123-115. Both teams had great shooting nights, but the Pacers were better and had 7 fewer TOs. They lead the series 2-0 heading to Milwaukee.
24p 11r for Siakam, 21p 12a for Haliburton. Stars were stars.

Because of the pay gap, women have lost out on more than $60 trillion in wages since 1967.
Yes, trillion.
On an hourly basis, women were paid 18.0% less on average than men in 2024.

“In any sane and rational universe, Smith’s transparent treachery would be the end of her political career. She is openly collaborating with an administration that is trying to bring Canada to heel, whether through economic or military means, and has repeatedly threatened its sovereignty. “
Danielle Smith is Mark Carney's secret weapon
In a recent interview with far-right U.S. media site Breitbart, Smith handed Carney a gift-wrapped sledgehammer in the form of an admission that Pierre Poilievre would be "in sync" with Trump.

IMPORTANT: If you live in the United States or Canada, you’ve probably heard Trump‘s constant claim that the United States is “subsidizing” Canada. It’s wrong of course, but here’s the best explanation I’ve seen about how & why it’s wrong. PLEASE WATCH & SHARE IT A LOT. Kudos to Andrew Chang & CBC.

There is now a safe NDP seat in southern Alberta, in the middle of one of the most overwhelmingly conservative regions in Canada.
Many said it could never be done. And now, the first Japanese-Canadian will take his seat in the #ableg. Congratulations, @robmiyashiro.bsky.social.
