Finding humour in the absurd against my will.
Still learning hard lessons from my teenager.
Finding fellow woke canucks to follow while I learn my way around.

Im not one to ever advice going back to Twitter, but if you somehow still have an account, the current republican meltdown after last night is fascinating.

Just saw a guy burning his daughters clothes in front of her because "Mamdani will force her in a burqa by Monday"

Doug Ford using the phrase, "You know, the cheese slipped off the cracker" to the US ambassador to Canada to describe his little tantrum might be my favourite thing he's done since he choked on a bee

I’m not going to lie, it will likely be devastating to those affected however this quote:

“If you’re going to talk about someone’s land, surely they have the right to be there, to have representation, to speak about it”

The court correctly upheld the original treaty so IT IS NOT THEIR LAND.

Ontario spent $206.583B during the 23/24 fiscal year (last year I could find published).

If we use it as an average for the last 5.5 years, Ford has spent approx $1.5T so far and NOT A SINGLE THING is better or heading in the right direction.

How would you vote if an election were held tomorrow?

Food for thought in 🇨🇦. We are heading on the same path as the U.S. and making the same mistakes.

The purity culture accusation is likely a confession.

Navigating drug coverage with specialist/Canada Life for our kid since July 2nd.

I can’t imagine having to do this for everything like they do in the U.S. - I would lose my mind.

It’s not just “fascism.” It’s worse - it’s totalitarianism: ideology as the logic of an idea (Arendt). Fascism wants obedience; totalitarianism wants reality itself to conform to its fiction. That’s why facts stop mattering. It doesn’t just silence opposition — it replaces truth with belief.
If we were living under fascism, none of you would be here daring to post things. You'd be erasing your social media accounts and keeping your head down; you'd know that peacocking your faux-bravery on a network would expose you to being disappeared.
You have no idea what "fascism" really means.
the regime is zip tying toddlers and ripping them away from their mothers unclothed... calling it fascism upsets this neo-con.

NEW: “Remigration” and “mass deportations” is the new rallying cry of white nationalists. Experts say it’s a call for ethnic cleansing. A new Canadian group is trying to "normalize" the concept and get the Conservative Party of Canada to talk more about immigration.

When you accept an invitation to a fascist’s podcast to “debate” them, you’re implying:
1) They’re worth your time and attention
2) Their platform deserves public recognition
3) They’re engaging in good faith
4) Their ideology is a legitimate subject for open debate
