“If you don’t want to watch the execution, then don’t watch.”
Ok… let’s go with that.
Also, if you don’t support same-sex marriage, don’t have one.
If you don’t support drag shows, don’t go.
If you don’t support abortion access, don’t have one.
We can do this all day.
I'm Canadian. Apparently, my life is terrible.
Universal healthcare. Public education. Clean water. Social safety nets.
And I can walk my dogs without carrying a concealed weapon.
Is Canada perfect? No. But I'll take it over the alternative.
Proudly Canadian. 🇨🇦❤️
Gloria Steinem will go down in history as one of the most important activists of all time, leading a movement for the equality of half the world: its women.
She lived a long and passionate life dedicated to this vital and basic cause.
She did it with intellectual precision, emotional awareness, humour and beauty. May she rest in peace and may the cause thrive.
Some people put their ideas out in the world and hope they catch on. Not Gloria Steinem.
Through her writing, her speeches, and her organizing, she demanded that the world pay attention to all the ways that women had been — and in some cases, still are — treated unfairly. And she helped awaken us to problems like domestic violence, the lack of affordable child care, and unfair hiring practices that had too often been ignored or overlooked.
Gloria really was larger than life. Today, generations of women are walking a little taller and aiming a little higher because of what she fought for and achieved. Michelle and I are thinking of her family today, and everyone — women and men — who were inspired by her towering example.
Canada quietly built its own restaurant giants in North America
1. Cactus Club Cafe
2. Earls Kitchen + Bar
3. JOEY Restaurants
4. Moxies
5. The Keg
6. Browns Socialhouse
7. Jack Astor's
8. Kinton Ramen
9. Tap & Barrel
The wild part? A lot of Canadians don’t even realize these are Canadian brands.
From Vancouver to Toronto, we’ve built restaurant chains that can compete with anybody. 🇨🇦
While we're all discussing the leader of the world's most powerful army trolling a young Canadian cadet and the US Secretary of the Treasury dissing @CanadianForces, I want to say how damn proud I am of this group and the work they do around the world. https://t.co/1Caz9x3tPS
Why is everyone so fking angry at Fauci?
The man did his best in an impossible situation under Trump.
He’s the literal reason millions are still alive.
wtf.
Eby: "The United States is a huge market that is impossible for Canada to replace. But at the end of the day, if they don't want Canadian goods, if they don't like Canada, there's not a lot we can do about that. So let's focus our energy on the places that are really excited to trade with us and take this generational opportunity so that our kids are not put in the same situation of being too dependent on the United States."
People are traveling, gathering together, barbecuing, celebrating the 250th anniversary of this nation in various ways. And then we have this…
An American service member using his right to free speech, guaranteed in our nation’s constitution. A right given to all of us every day. Regardless of your political affiliation, read or watch Major Jason Watson’s full statement. It’s powerful. He has served and is serving. He is speaking up and out, and for that he was arrested.
Free speech, freedom of religion, a free press, the freedom to vote for who you choose, the freedom to love who you choose. These are all things we celebrate on our nation’s birthday. They are what makes us a democracy, among many other things. So as you gather, as you grill, as you plan your day, think of Major Watson, think of the freedoms you hold dear, and don’t just celebrate them, but make sure generations to come will have these rights as well! 🇺🇸
I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”
Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.
Hey @HunterBiden 👋🏼
You made the news out here in Vancouver for your shoutout to Canada 🇨🇦.
Canada didn't just save my life, it gave me the chance to rebuild it and that's worth shouting out. 🇨🇦❤️

If I were American, I’d be fucking disgusted beyond words to see a pedophile’s face plastered on my currency. I mean, holy fuck what an obscene, trashy, authoritarian shitshow.
