- I don't even wait. And when you're ICE, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em by the child they once were, the people who love them, the community they serve, their once promising future. You can do anything.
- He called her a bitch because, on some level, deep down, he knew what he just did would ruin the rest of his life, and like all toxic abusers, his first instinct was to blame her for it.
- I am a xennial/elder millennial. If you tell me you are “crashing out”, my first thought is always gonna be that you had too many pixy stix.
- If you are in a position to do so, now would be a great time to donate to World Central Kitchen. Their main US donation site is here: wck.org/donat… And the site for Canadians to donate via Myriad Canada is here: https://www.myriadcanada.org/en/project/canadian-friends-of-world-central-kitchen/
- "Where is the best place in the house to wrestle?" "On the stairs!" my edgelord dogs proclaim.
- 🧡Education matters 🧡Listening matters 🧡Truth and Reconciliation matters 🧡Every Child Matters
- Mothers don’t cause autism. Tylenol doesn’t cause autism. Autism is not a “problem”. It’s not something to be “cured”.
- I see we've reached the 'ludicrous speed' phase of implementing Project 2025.
- I'm not a liberal because I hate conservatives. Or want them dead. Or want generally bad things to happen to them. I'm a liberal because I care about people everywhere--young to old, immigrant to indigenous, people of all ethnicities, all genders, all classes. I want everyone to thrive. 1/2
- Trump is actually teeing up an “I’m only in the Epstein files because the autopen put me there” defense. He doesn’t just think his supporters are stupid, he thinks they’re brain dead.
- Trump wants a thank you note from the starving children in Gaza. Maybe he should travel there and ask for one in person, see their faces, witness them dying. Maybe they can write one for him in blood.
- Democracy is something you do. Canada’s sovereignty is on the line; please don’t sit this one out. If you haven’t already done so, get out there today and VOTE 💪🇨🇦✌️
- Canada is not a “case”. Canada is a sovereign nation. VOTE. 🇨🇦
- His name is Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Anyone who cares about human rights should have his name on their lips. He was deported to a torture prison “accidentally”. And a narcissistic White House refuses to bring him home... 1/2
- Re: Poilievre's rallies: Just cause everyone you invited to your birthday party showed up doesn't mean the whole school likes you.
- Boots AND Suits.
- Nobody prepares you for the heartbreak of your kid outgrowing an ongoing book series.
- There seems to be a campaign to get Annie Murphy on White Lotus and I’d just like to take a moment to approve of that on the record.
- Certified Nasty Canadian 🇨🇦
- So, let me get this straight: The same people who think Carney was elected undemocratically would've been perfectly happy if Ruby Dhalla had won instead, but not so happy that they ever would've voted for her in a general election? Which they hope is soon but not too soon? 1/2
- I am feeling the tiniest bit of hope ballooning in my chest as I watch Carney's swearing-in ceremony. But don't worry; I will squash it back down. November taught me to fight but never hope. Still, Canadian unity is always lovely to behold. Elbows up, Canada. Nobody can ever rob us of our identity.
- “But that’s illegal!” He 👏 doesn’t 👏 care 👏
- Trump says tariffs are back on. Your move, Doug "if you kids don't knock it off, I'm gonna turn this Starlink contract around" Ford.
- Fellow Ontarians, today is the day! Polls are open until 9PM. Visit elections.on.ca to find your polling place. You DO NOT need a voter card! Check the website for valid forms of ID and get out there! Your voice deserves to be heard! Vote like your emergency room wait times depend on it! They do! 🗳️
- You're upset that we're booing the national anthem of the dictatorship that's threatening to rob us of our safety and national identity? I'm sorry to hear that. Would you like some Canadian-made Scotties facial tissues to wipe your tears?
- I love how Trump is literally saying he wants to invade Canada and people are like "But but but WHERE is King Charles??" Wtf you think he's gonna do? Skip his nap so he and Trump can hash things out over an early bird dinner?
- If Trump helps Russia take Ukraine, are we willing to consider the possibility that he and Putin have discussed Russia helping the US take Canada too? Cause I think we seriously need to consider that.
- Anyone who says Canada should be okay with it being called The Gulf of America because Canada “is part of America” doesn’t understand Canadians. We don’t need bullshit vanity names to know who we are, nor do we feel the need to take anything from anyone else.
- I’m telling you that fascism is taking over the continent and you’re telling me you want me to *checks notes* buy barrel leg pants, the most awkward of pants?
- Doug Ford *signs starlink contract* *rips it up* *tapes it back together* *considers ripping up his framed, signed Trump headshot* *puts it back on his nightstand* *dreams of mega spas and bulldozing the Greenbelt*
- Dear America, Never bring a softball to a hockey fight. We don't back down. -Canada
- When people say diversity makes us stronger, that’s not just a slogan. Diversity really does make us stronger. Removing diversity makes us weaker, in favour of a few white men making a lot of money. If that’s the future you want, you’re either a white billionaire—or you’re their mark.
- No number of executive orders can erase Black History Month.
- The 10yo is getting heavy, but when he asks me to pick him up and carry him, you'd better believe I pick him up and carry him.
- Dissociation is doing some pretty heavy lifting with every email I send or receive that opens, “Hope your year is off to a good start!” I mean, sure, the hope is there, but we all know what’s up.
- *deep breath* In Canada, we vote for a local MP who is (usually, but not always) affiliated with a political party. We do not vote for Prime Minister. If you don't understand how our democracy works, I highly recommend you read up on it, especially if you plan to participate in it.
- When a far right conservative says they're christian, they aren't talking about dealing in kindness, compassion, and mercy; what they like about the church is its failings—weaponized power, oppression, judgment, and control, stemming from a patriarchal system that lifts up straight, white men.
- A list of Canadian companies whose products I’ve been using for years and highly recommend: -Attitude -Green Beaver -Nellie’s -Nature Clean -The Unscented Company -Aisle -Nixit -Wildcraft -Cocoon Apothecary -Routine -Cheekbone Beauty -Pure Anada -Vessi Buy local whenever possible!
- I know Danielle Smith has been making Doug Ford look like a decent Canadian lately, but as we head to the polls next month, let’s all remember how devastating he’s been for this province. Education, healthcare, the Greenbelt... That man has not been good for Ontario, and it’s time for a CHANGE 🧡
- I know it’s hard to admit when you’ve accidentally hitched your cart to a Nazi horse but at least think about it.
- It starts with Elon doing a nazi salute. Then his fans start doing it as a joke. Then the crowd is doing it for real. This is how it happens.
- Expecting everything he'd do on day one does not make it any less horrific. If it feels unreal, that's because your brain is trying to process what happens when the bad guys win, far from a common trope, far from anything good people can easily imagine wanting.
