Imagine knowing your platform was a playground for predators, fueling teen depression, eating disorders, and suicide and deciding the best course of action was… absolutely nothing. Meta didn’t just “miss” anything.

If you don't like encampments I have invented a new word that will solve the problem.
I call it housing. Housing, it's a beautiful word, one no one else has ever thought of.

Bill 60 is open season on renters.
It gives corporate landlords more power to hike rents, evict tenants, and squeeze families who are already stretched thin, all while Ontario is dead last in home-building.

Had an extra pancake leftover. Texted my neighbour if she wanted it.
Turned out she had a terrible morning/two months. Let her vent at me for an hour.
We’ve made plans for a nice day at markets and stores in a couple weeks.
Oof. Check in on your people! Times are tough all around.

The next time you hear someone complaining about the federal government & interprovincial trade barriers refer them to this article! The feds have already removed all of their policies that affected interprovincial trade. The provinces are nearly all talk & little action.

Billionaires are buying elections to put people in power-Republicans-who will give them more tax breaks
Even if it comes at the expense of the poorest people in the country
Apparently, even though they have generational wealth for the next 1,000 years, there is never enough

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.
We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

When Jason Kenney kicked all the centrist normies out of the party, this is the monster he created.
Stop trying to turn Kenney into a statesman. He is very much responsible for what Danielle Smith is doing to the province.

Let’s be clear on this: Danielle Smith is ripping up the Charter of Rights & Freedoms to take away rights from the most vulnerable people in Alberta. And she’s doing it to protect herself from the militant wing of her own party, nothing more. Hope it’s all she’s ever remembered for in the long run

Maybe, and I'm spitballing here, women don't like waiting in hospital parking lots until they are near death to have life-saving abortions. Maybe they enjoy having a bank account and jobs and voting rights. Maybe they don't want a court judge to decide if they deserve a divorce. Wow, what a mystery.

The CFL would garner more fans if the Grey Cup game was easily accessible 😢. Once upon a time it was broadcast on CBC.
