To anyone actually thinking Canada should get sucked into Trump’s stupid fucking war.
Remember how he denigrated the service of Veterans like me and my friends who fought in Afghanistan.
Fuck Trump and his war.

4 years ago, NB abruptly went from closing due to omicron, to encouraging the hasty and deadly spread of disease. No more counting school cases, no more masks, no more isolation, no more testing required. And education and health reps were all unavailable for comment.
Surely this is not shocking, but Rogan had most of the big anti-trans scientists that my reporting found to be in the Epstein files on his podcast.
Krauss even tried to connect Epstein to Rogan at one point.

PM Carney needs to do better then to say that his endorsement of Netanyahu and Trump's illegal war isn't just a "blank cheque."
The PM needs to state whether or not Canada stands for the international rule of law.
Otherwise we are complicit.

Great letter from Dr. Filiatrault on clean air and need for respiratory protection in hospitals.

What?!
Dear Premier Ford, Over the last five years, we've witnessed increased circulation of illnesses in schools. The effects that this has on institutions, systems, communities, and individual families can't be overstated; that's why I'm writing to encourage the Ontario Government to implement policies and procedures in response. As a parent, I can anecdotally share that my child has missed 11 days of school due to illness since September and we have had (maybe 3 cumulative weeks without anyone in our three person household being sick. As individuals, we do everything that we can to avoid catching and spreading illness (we have all our vaccinations, mask in public spaces, wash our hands regularly, and stay home when sick whenever possible). This constant carousel of sickness is not sustainable and is detrimental to her learning and our working. We must institute effective infection control in schools. We've known since long before 2020 that children act as vectors, passing pathogens to other family members and then throughout Ontario communities. We've witnessed widespread illness decrease the quality of learning and teaching. Absenteeism and absences due to illness have steadily increased year-after-year since the start of the covid-19 pandemic in 2020. Whether it's students missing classes because of illness, teachers unable to find substitutes, or bus cancellations, all of these factors impact equitable access to quality education.
Many of these illnesses spread through the air, so the province must set and monitor school indoor air quality standards that correspond with international standards (ASHRAE 241) for decreasing the spread of pathogens. For any buildings that don't meet these standards, plans need to be initiated to address this through ventilation and air filtration. We also know that many of these viruses may seem mild in the short-term but can have serious long-term consequences (e.g. Epstein Barr may cause MS, measles can cause SSPE, and a number of viral infections can cause ME/CFS, to name just a few which will place an increasing burden on our already strained healthcare system. Recently, the New Brunswick provincial government committed to adopting ASHRAE 241 for all new NB Government buildings, including schools, and adhering to ASHRAE 62.1 standards for retrofits. They are also launching CO2 monitoring in all schools by June 2026. Now is the perfect time for Ontario to take similar steps and revive work on indoor air quality. If this government cares about accessibility and equitable access to quality education, changes must be made. Now would be an excellent time to change this government's legacy by tackling the conditions that continue the spread of illness. The cost of doing nothing is much greater than the cost of cleaning the air we breath. Sincerely, Diana Chard
Back on my bullshit. Adapted a letter from @popns.bsky.social and sent it to Douglas Ford, Paul Calandra, Sylvia Jones, my school board trustee and superintendent, MPP, and the principal of my child’s school.

In Defense of Effeminate Boys If anyone had suggested that I might really be a girl, I don’t know how I would have responded. By Ben Appel
If medical authorities have a rigorous way of distinguishing effeminate boys from transgender kids—or of distinguishing transgender kids from proto-gay kids—they aren’t saying. I have met a number of detransitioned gay men who tried to live as women for a time because they and their families were so averse to homosexuality. According to a 2019 report in The Times of London, staffers at Britain’s foremost gender-identity clinic joked darkly that, as a result of the facility’s work, “there would be no gay people left.” A statement last month by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons noted that there is no validated way to assess whether a child’s gender distress will persist over time or disappear without medical intervention. A lack of good research and recordkeeping means that we may never know how many patients who would have been considered effeminate gay boys not so long ago have undergone medical treatments for gender dysphoria.
Absolute trash. The author did not speak to a single medical professional and the article does not contain a shred of evidence that effeminate gay boys are being bamboozled into thinking they're trans.

They assume that they are among like minded people. Not that they are starkers with their drapes open.
The UK Greens just get better.
On day one of the war 165 children were murdered in a terror bombing of a school.
At one time such an atrocity would result in widespread condemnation.
Not any more.
We remain silent at our peril.

It’s a photo of an article that spans at least half a full-length newspaper page that I clipped from someone on X. The headline reads: Still hoping to be PM, the Canadian who united the right (and lost his seat). I apologize but I am not rewriting it in its entirety.
Now there’s a statement I don’t see near often enough outside of my own posts.
“In effect, Reform merged with— or rather, took over— the Conservatives and gave themselves a new identity.”

Lloyd Axworthy reminding Carney how Canada expects a Liberal to act.
Carney puts rules-based international order sign back in window
February 28th, 2026 NDP statement on Iran bombings Following the events in Iran, Alexandre Boulerice, NDP Foreign Affairs Critic, issued the following statement: "The NDP strongly condemns the American and Israeli bombings of Iran. This is a dangerous escalation that risks dragging the entire region into a major conflict. The oppressive and bloody regime of the Ayatollahs is reprehensible, but its nuclear program must be managed through the United Nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). In fact, its Director General, Mr. Grossi, recently indicated that he was working with the Iranian administration to resume inspections and reiterated that there could be no solution other than a diplomatic one. The NDP deplores the Carney government's decision to blindly support this dangerous venture by Israel and Donald Trump's administration. We want Canada to be a voice for diplomacy, peace, and international law."
Here is @ndp.ca’s statement condemning US-Israeli military strikes in Iran and calling on the Carney government to defend international law
The only strategic goal I can ascribe to Carney’s statement is that he wanted to hand the NDP leadership to Avi Lewis.
It’s not going to get him any new votes in Scarborough Southwest. Nor a majority this spring. And it certainly is not going to make new trade deals easier.🤷♀️
AI fake, I’m afraid.
Maybe it’s Carney’s way to nudge the NDP towards choosing Avi Lewis as leader?
What a contrast to Chrétien. I was never a fan of Chrétien as Prime Minister but at least he understood the stakes of supporting illegal war. What will happen if Iran is able to obliterate US and Israel defensive positions? Is Carney prepared to sacrifice Canadian soldiers to defend an erratic US?
