🇨🇦 “O Canada! Our home and native land! True patriot love in all of us command,
Car ton bras sait porter l'épée,
Il sait porter la croix!
Ton histoire est une épopée
Des plus brillants exploits,
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. “ 🇨🇦 #heritagemoment

“Buy Canadian” means cancelling your National Post and Toronto SUN subscriptions.

Sorry, I don’t make the rules.

I’m for Canada. I am Canadian.

You’ve been wanting to divest from #Amazon, but you are an avid e-book reader. #Booksky #blackbooksky

I have a solution for you !

Bookshop has just added e-books so that you can support independent bookstores by purchasing e-books from them and reading it in their app.

Thanks to @lindamcquaig.bsky.social for this insightful look at the fake populism of Pierre Poilievre - a man who has never held a job other than political rat his whole life.
Thanks Linda for the shout out to me on presenting credible working class politics in Canada.

LEARN TO POST

POSTING NEVER DIES
Someday writers and publishers will all collectively learn the folly of putting all their business eggs in one platform basket!

Jon Stewart:
"Poilievre seems like a villain in like a Karate Kid movie. Like there's something very off-putting. What is he like in person?"
