@CHEK_News She is the third Con to use racist remarks, which is no surprise in that party. It’s a sign of the kind of divisive leadership we’d see under Rustad. If he had any guts he’d toss them out and establish some guidelines for his candidates who have obviously not been vetted. Shame.

@lindasmart99 @AJWVictoriaBC @Conservative_BC Toss her from the party immediately. Sooke doesn’t want her.

[Cleveland Cavaliers @cavs]

We are saddened to learn of the passing of Nick Mileti, the beloved founder whose passion and vision ignited the spirit of Cavaliers basketball in our great city. A true pioneer in the world of sports, Nick was not just a leader; he was a dreamer who transformed that dream into reality for countless fans in Cleveland.

@cavs Smartest entrepreneur I ever met. He dearly loved his teams and loved his stadiums and arenas. Bringing his friend Frank Sinatra in to open the Richfield Coliseum for the Cleveland Crusaders was magic. His connections were wide and varied. What an incredible life! A 70’s CC wife.

@CrankyCanuck Thanks for stating so clearly and passionately what most of us smart folk have been feeling!

To all you Maple MAGA Convoy fucks, listen up: this is our flag 🇨🇦—it was never yours, and it never will be. You can wave it all you want, but you will never redefine what it stands for.

My Canada is a place of unity, not division. Of strength, not weakness. Of inclusion, not exclusion. This country was built by people from every corner of the globe, adding their stories to the rich tapestry that makes us who we are. We don’t fear our differences—we celebrate them. That’s what makes us Canadian.

The real strength of Canada isn’t found in hatred, nor in fear, nor in the small-minded, short-sighted bullshit you’ve been peddling. It’s in the compassion of our people, the power of our unity, and the shared belief that everyone—no matter where they come from—deserves dignity, respect, and a fair shot.

This country stands tall because of our commitment to care for one another. That’s why we have universal healthcare—because we know that health shouldn’t be a privilege for the wealthy but a right for all. This is the legacy of leaders like Tommy Douglas, a legacy of compassion and fairness that defines our Canada. We take care of our own because that’s what true strength looks like.

And our greatness isn’t just in how we care for each other. It’s enshrined in our Charter of Rights and Freedoms, a beacon of justice, equality, and liberty for all. It’s a reminder that democracy isn’t just a word we throw around—it’s a promise we live every day. It’s the belief that every voice matters and every vote counts.

But let’s be clear: our flag, once a symbol of unity and hope, has been hijacked. You took something sacred and tried to twist it into a banner for your hatred, your division, your toxic agenda. You turned it into a symbol for a movement that sought to undermine the very freedoms it claimed to protect.

But Canada is bigger than that. We’re reclaiming our flag. We are the ones who will decide what it stands for. It represents us—the people who built this country with their bare hands, the people who sacrificed so future generations could stand tall in a land of peace, justice, and opportunity. It represents the rights we all share, and the responsibilities we hold to one another.

And don’t think for a second that you define what it means to be Canadian. The convoy doesn’t define us. The hate doesn’t define us. The division doesn’t define us. We define Canada.

This flag stands for inclusion. It stands for justice. It stands for equality. It waves for every single person who has ever called this country home, for every person who has ever sought refuge here, and for every person who has fought to make Canada a place of peace.

We are taking our flag back because Canada is, and always will be, a country of hope. A country where we believe in the best of humanity, not the worst. Where we strive, every day, to be better, to be kinder, to be more just. We are a peaceful people, but don’t mistake our peace for weakness. We are united by our belief in the power of togetherness, and we will always fight for what is right.

Our flag isn’t yours to tarnish with your hate. It belongs to all of us who believe in a Canada that stands for fairness, for compassion, for the dignity of all people. This is our Canada, and we will fight like hell to keep it that way.

So wave your flag all you want—it’ll never stand for your small-minded bullshit. We’re taking it back, and we’re doing it with pride. Canada is ours, and it will always be a beacon of hope, of peace, of unity, and of strength.🤘🥶

@MelissaLMRogers @gwenomahony What school of thought are these government directives coming from?! Harm Reduction works…twenty five years ago we used to dispense supplies on the street for vulnerable populations. But when so FEW treatment options exist, this decision is just a bandaid to an addict.

Why does Canada, one of the richest countries in the world, have so many people living unhoused and in poverty?

@EricFrancis Is the top portion wood or a projection?

@BCGovFireInfo Those of us with homes up towards Glinz Lake and beside the Sea to Sea park need much more current information as to the risk we face. If winds change will our homes and Camp Thunderbird be threatened. CRD, Sooke, Coastal Fire and B.C. Wildfire sites are not helpful w this.

@brittlestar Just traveled. Had a large middle seater in between my big partner and I in Row 6 while t he back half of the plane had lots of available seats. He asked to move; was denied. We paid extra for window and aisle seats. Why put a basic fare between us and make us all uncomfortable?

@fuller_sean @TristanSnell The Supreme Court is so stacked w Republicans that he’s helped put there, his Appeal will likely win, but before then the lawyers involved will keep it in the courts for years.

In 2019, Prime Minister Trudeau promised to remove ocean-polluting Atlantic salmon farms from BC waters by 2025. End the pens.
