Professors don't have the mind-control indoctrination superpowers some folks seem to think we do. We can't even get students to read the syllabus.

🔴🐧🇺🇲 BREAKING: The PM of Hearth and McDonald Islands is negotiating the lifting of tariffs at the White House right now.

If there's one thing I know about penguins; they really really REEEEEEALLY hate tariffs ;)

Mark Carney should appoint Justin Trudeau as the new U.S Ambassador, to piss off Trump. 😅

Now this is what I call a speech. Charlie Angus 🇨🇦 Absolutely nails it.

I am now convinced this is about much more that tariffs. I’m beginning to believe that the oligarchs WANT to set fire to the global economy. They are actively seeking a global economic ‘End of days’

They literally want to deregulate the global economy. Forget WW3, this is going to be Darwinism on steroids.

People around the world are going to die for no other reason but to satisfy the ego of a man who takes pleasure from the suffering of people who to him haven’t earned the right to live.

We need heros.

Zelensky is a democracy hero.

Canada - this is what it will take to defend our country.

For Canada - possibly a lot of lives lost in an ugly war, loss of territory, loss of a generation, loss of resources

But never lose our dignity. And never lose our resolve.

Trump voters don’t like it when I call them idiots, and you’ll be surprised to learn that I don’t actually give a flying fuck if they like it or not.
Because, if you voted for the guy who golfed while thousands of Americans died a day and said “it is what it is” when asked because he “cares about your safety”, you are an idiot.
If you voted for the guy who handed a massive tax cut to the richest of the rich and in so doing, saddled our country with the third largest amount of debt we’ve ever had because he was “strong on the economy”, you are an idiot.
If you voted for the guy who was the WORST jobs president since Hoover because he will “lower unemployment”, you are an idiot.
If you voted for the guy who’s going to slap 25% tariffs on goods coming from our neighbors to the north and south, not to mention China, because you think he will lower prices, you are an idiot.
If you voted the guy who overturned Roe Vs Wade because the government has no business mandating what you do with your own body, you are an idiot.
If you voted for the guy who is going to pull us out of NATO and hand Ukraine to Putin because you remember what our country’s greatest generation fought and died for, you are an idiot.
If you voted for the guy who stole classified documents, lied about them, showed them to his pals, and hid them in his fucking bathroom, because you care about our national security, you are an idiot.
If you voted for the guy who is going to deport all of the low income immigrants who work the jobs white people refuse to, because you thought he was going to help your farm, meat processing plant or construction business spend less and make more, you are an idiot.
If you voted for the guy who is going to repeal the Affordable Care Act with no replacement, because you thought your preexisting condition was covered under OBAMACARE, you are an idiot.
If you voted for the thrice married, serial philandering, sexual assault bragging, racist, sexist, xenophobe who mocked a disabled reporter and made fun of a man’s stutter, because you care about decency, you are an idiot.
If you voted for the heathen who spends his Sundays worshipping at Our Lady of the Perpetual Mulligan and can’t cite a single passage from the Bibles he’s selling because you think he is devout, you are an idiot.
If you voted for the “suckers” and “losers” five time draft dodger who tried and failed to gut the VA because you support our troops, you are an idiot.
If you voted for the guy who said he’d make Mexico pay for the wall, when they didn’t, bring manufacturing back, when he didn’t, pass an infrastructure bill, when he didn’t, end the opioid crisis, when he didn’t, drain the swamp, when he didn’t, or “make America great again” when he didn’t even in the least, you are an idiot.
If you voted for the felon, business fraud because your pro-law and order, you are an idiot.
If you voted for the adjudicated rapist because you’re the party of family values, you are an idiot.
If you voted for the guy who incited a deadly attack on our Capitol in order to stay in the office he was voted out of because you care about democracy, you are an idiot.
If you voted for the guy who is promising to be a dictator on day one because you think our country could really use one of those and that you and your high school level education and shitty job and miserable fucking existence will somehow end up on top of Mt. Oligarch and not on the bottom with the rest of your MAGA flag flying pals, you are an idiot.
If you’re a girl dad who voted for a man who has been found liable of sexual abuse and has surrounded himself with a sea of unrepentant, unapologetic sexual offenders because you want to protect your daughter, you are an idiot.
If you think he’s not going to do all the truly terrible things he’s promising, or even worse, that you’re hoping he does - you are a fucking idiot.
And you don’t have to like me saying that, but it doesn’t make it any less fucking true.

@JasonPYYC @rickbell @DonBraid What Danielle Smith allocated funds to INSTEAD of properly supporting #YYC infrastructure:

$330,000,000 for a hockey Arena
$100,000,00 for unsafe kid’s meds
$118,000,000 for a fancy boutique charter school

What if Danielle ACTUALLY properly funded city infrastructure?

#BREAKING:

Pierre Poilievre says after 8 years of Trudeau only a fraction of Canada will get to enjoy a full solar eclipse, promises that a conservative government would block out the sun for all Canadians.

[Andrew Perez @andrewaperez]

I deeply admired these three men. Now, none of them are with us.

John Napier Turner. Ed Broadbent. Martin Brian Mulroney.

All three practiced the politics of big ideas, not personal vitriol.

They fought hard for a better country, but all three men got along well behind the scenes. They were, *gasp*, even friends.

I’m not someone who always harkens back to a nostalgic past where politics was perfect; it most certainly wasn’t.

But it was always a noble profession and worthy pursuit.

It’s awfully hard to say that about Canadian politics in 2024. The brand of politics (and public service) that these three statesmen practiced no longer exists.

And Canada is worse off for it. #cdnpoli

[Mike Morris @1MikeMorris]

@PierrePoilievre Wrong. Jason Kenney spent over 1 billion on a pipeline that didn't exist and never will.
Danielle Smith spent 80 million on Tylenol from Turkey which is dangerous to children and can't be used.
Stephen Harper spent over 1 million to ship a limo to India even though India had one.
