Pierre Poilievre’s silence on abortion isn’t just a lack of leadership—it’s an invitation for extremism to take root within his party. By refusing to take a stand, he risks letting radical voices define the conversation on women’s reproductive rights.

It looks like the F-Trudeau, proud fringe minority, anti-vax, anti-drag queen story time crowd has a new thing to pearl clutch about (shockingly it's not nicotine). Today I saw an F150 adorned with a new initiative. Had to go to Google to find it since I was driving & couldn't snap it. This is it!

That doesn’t make this an echo chamber. If someone came up to you in public and started harassing you or spouting hateful nonsense, you wouldn’t sit there and take it, nor would try to boost their hatred by repeating it. You’d separate yourself from them. Do that here. It’s better.

Nobody has worked harder to create a Canadian presence on Bluesky. I am here because he shot me a code over a year ago.
He's kind of the father of Canadian Bluesky.

It’s great to see Pascale St-Onge on this platform. She’s absolutely right about Pierre Poilievre. He doesn’t care about Canadian’s needs. He’s been proving it for over two decades.
There’s no need to read between any lines here — Pierre Poilievre is clearly showing he doesn’t care about Canadians’ needs.

The Swifties are descending on Toronto. The friendship bracelet has gone up. Let me tell you how fast I will block people for making fun of them. They love her, they have created a wholesome culture of friendship, female safety, and camaraderie. The world is too dark, let them let some light in.

If we don’t find a way to publicly fund social media, we’ll never be free of profit-driven, algorithmic manipulation.👇
People making demands of BlueSky tech team, mods etc because it’s getting busy: BlueSky has a staff of 20. None of us are paying a penny to use it, and it has, at the moment, no way to monetise itself, as far as I can see, because it’s trying to resist any pivot to algorithmic ads or selling data.
