Nova Scotia is taking the fight to MAGA.
Last March they pulled all the booze off the shelves. Now they are selling it all off in a Xmas firesale-with proceeds going to the food bank.
And then they are done with US purchases.

I must've gotten dozens of "you're the only reason I'm still on Twitter!" in the months before I finally left in October 2023.
They meant it as a compliment, but it always struck me as confirmation that I was complicit in what that place was becoming, so I left.
So can everyone else.

Prominent folks:
Millions stay on Twitter because that's where they hear from you. That includes reporters.
YOU are giving Twitter viability and credibility.
If YOU leave, the people who want to hear from you will go where you are.
YOU are making the choice to keep others on Twitter.

I took the time recently to read Ambassador Hillman’s background and honestly I can’t think of anyone that would be more qualified to represent Canada in trade negotiations with the US. I’ll definitely buy her book if she writes one…

"Helsinki has not recorded a single traffic fatality in the past 12 months, city and police officials confirmed this week."
This is the direct and predictable result of policy decisions, not random happenstance.

This is absolutely true. As a former lifeguard I have seen it first hand. I remember once very vividly watching a child drowning beside their dad at the beach. I ran over and told him to pick the child up - the child started crying and then he started crying.
Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.
