Imagine there was a chemical spill which caused all adolescent boys to stop maturing emotionally at around age 12.

Now imagine what the world would look like a decade or so later.

We’re living in a partial version of that. It explains so much of what’s happening.

“A report by the CBC revealed that Pierre Poilievre hired the team behind Canada Proud to ‘boost his messages online.’ The organization has since been caught running disinformation campaigns targeting Mark Carney. Canadians deserve to know every last detail about Poilievre‘s ties to Canada Proud.”

Dear community, last time you helped us reach lots of new BlueSky followers. Now that we see that there is an exodus on X, it is important that these people can also find us on BlueSky for all necessary updates about Ukraine.

Would you like to share this message, preferably with a quote? Thanks!

This crowd really isn’t competent enough to run a lemonade stand, let alone a nuclear power. I wouldn’t trust them with my family’s recipe book.

I hope to god Canada and other allies are beyond careful with what they share with these goobers.
