I talked to so many progressives who voted strategically in the last Canadian election. I can’t blame them, but this is a reminder that Carney will always put the interests of big business above those of working people. A two-party system like this creates conditions rife for right-wing populism.

Horrible use of dog whistling and horrible use of title caps
Quick question for the Conservative Party, based on the fundraising email sent out today:
What are you hoping to achieve by telling your supporters you “MUST win” the recounts…when those ballots are already cast?
Stop soliciting donations by implying any party can impact the recount results!!! 🤦♀️

I usually never get allergies, but this year I’ve had to take antihistamines daily. Is this a part of being in one’s 30s that no one talks about?? Or are the trees getting stronger??
is anyone else feeling regularly punched in the face by allergies this year because it's very distracting during my shifts at the paragraph factory

My friend and fellow dog-owner @karenho.bsky.social just gifted me a Snoop and it is 1000x better than the Kong. It is it easier to fill, easier to clean, and just as durable (can withstand the jaws of my 80 lb doggo). The chokehold that Kong has on the dog community is ending
