During the press junket for Jurassic World: Evolution, a journalist took their entire interview time with Jeff Goldblum to have him read as Principal Skinner from THE SIMPSONS "Steamed Hams" episode, and it's amazing 😂👏

@gervasio_23 Actually, the comments show why we DO in fact need this stuff 🤙

[Troy Sangster @tcsang]

@1981_Trav @colinpriestner Or show any effort really.

If we are going to call the cost of public services a “loss,” then Canadian police forces lost $20 billion last year while delivering no birthday presents and also killing a lot of people.

If capitalism is so great, why do corporations need tax breaks, subsidies, exemptions, grants, bailouts, legal protections, and trade barriers to survive? And when ordinary people ask for help, why is it suddenly called socialism?

Cuba is out of fuel, strangled by the US fuel chokehold.

People are dying, systems are breaking down.

This is collective punishment against a people who have done absolutely nothing except live their lives under hard conditions imposed by the US blockade for decades.

It’s a blatant violation of international law, a crime in progress.

Canadians are connected to Cuba: we’ve been welcomed, had great holidays, heard incredible music, done business and made friends.

We need to help Cuba right now, even if it bothers Trump: Canada should send immediate humanitarian fuel aid, in as much quantity as we can quickly assemble.

And we should be speaking out loudly on the international stage: US military action against Cuba is absolutely unacceptable!

It’s time for the countries of the world to rally and stop this impunity before it takes another sovereign country into chaos.

We have to come to Cuba's aid. What's happening is too cruel, too horrible.

@fnveenie @MitchyGallo @TSN690 I voted yes without actually seeing but now that I have I would have voted no, so we cancel each other.

Surprise, surprise. Evidence shows that overdose prevention sites are “easy pickings” for lazy politicians, “because these facilities are typically located in areas where homelessness is evident and public consumption of drugs is ALREADY OCCURRING.”

“Closing OPS due to public order concerns is kind of like taking away everyone’s umbrella because it’s raining too much.”

Watch for that next: @KenSinCity will blame umbrellas for the abundance of rain in Vancouver and “do everything in his power” to stop us all from using them.

Does that sound stupid? YES. Is calling overdose prevention “a failed experiment” equally stupid? ALSO YES.

The owners of said assets would like to remind PM @MarkJCarney that Canadians voted against the privatization of public assets when we chose not to elect Poilievre.

With the help of @RealChalamet, Adidas just dropped one of the sickest World Cup commercials I’ve ever seen. Literally everyone- everyone- is in this spot. I’m so damn excited for the World Cup to start next month & this just got me even more excited. This entire spot is Cinema.

You’ve heard us say it before. The Alberta separation movement is a foreign interference operation

[guyfelicella🇨🇦🍁 @guyfelicella]

Remember that study on closing supervised consumption sites in Alberta led to more treatment?

Well, independent researchers just dismantled the Alberta CORE study.
It fails at the most basic level of safety and treatment access.

So let’s be clear:
This isn’t evidence, it’s junk science used to justify bad policy. 🗑️

20,000 years ago, HALF of all humans born were dead at the age of 30.

Fast forward to 1840… and guess what?
Half the population born was dead by the age of 35.

Twenty thousand years… and we gained five years.

That’s it.

So no this isn’t about people being “stronger,” “tougher,” or somehow more “natural” back then.

This is about SCIENCE.

Clean water.
Vaccines.
Medicine.
Sanitation.
Public health.

That’s what changed everything.

Stop romanticizing the past.
If you want to thank anything for longer, healthier lives thank science.
