Knowing how monstrous the Carney government is while almost everybody celebrates him as a triumph of classical liberalism feels like the most insane gaslighting.

It is taking a real toll on my mental health, I think.

Seriously, it's been rare to see any substantive criticism of Mark Carney by Canadian news media. But it's not too late:

Carney expected to be a no-show as MPs debate Iran war in House of Commons OTTAWA β€” MPs are expected to square off tonight in a debate about Canada's approach to the U.S.-Israel war on Iran, although the prime minister won't be taking part.

The Libs pushed for a debate tonight in the House over the Iran-US-Israeli war.
But Carney ain't going.

This didn't happen. The perception that it did is largely based on fictional shows that were about rich people. Much more common was a household where one person (theoretically Dad in a het household) was the higher earner and paid the housing costs and the other paid utilities & food

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Yes. And Canada Post is doing it too.
Starve it of funds, run it into the ground, then privatize it, all to insist that β€œgovernment doesn’t work” 😐

Two white nationalists I exposed in a recent article showed up to try to intimidate me in person last night.

This is a press freedom issue.

Here’s what happened:

This trans teacher has no choice but to leave Florida: 'I can't defend myself' Saoirse Stone says state policies have turned her daily life in an Orlando high school classroom into a series of quiet humiliations.

The insanity of what it's like being a trans teacher under FL Don't Say Gay/Trans law where you can't use your correct name or pronouns with students or otherwise indicate that you're female at school.

I love watching people use LLMs in public. They’ll reply to a breaking news article and say β€œ@grok is this true?” Babe where do you think it’s about to pull its answer from

Like every article on publishing, once again I am asking article writers and editors to maybe interrogate the idea that people just don't have as much room in their budget as they did a few years ago.

Tonight, two of the white nationalists I reported on in this piece showed up to attempt to intimidate me on a private night out at a small music venue.

I’ll have more to say tomorrow. I’m safe.

They also didn’t pay cover πŸ–•

Anyone who buys a Tesla for FSD really wasn’t paying attention to how many years in a row he’s said it’s coming next year. Anyone who trusts FSD probably hasn’t driven a Tesla with autopilot (cruise control) on in bad weather. (I have. Never again.)

Just … don’t buy teslas. Period. Ever. They suck.

Me: Carney supports the attacks on Iran.

Carney fans: No he doesn't. He didn't say that. Read his statement in the most generous way possible. He's just playing 4D chess.

Carney: I support the attacks on Iran but I feel sad about it.

Elizabeth May Gives a Press Conference Outlining Consistent Abuse of Parliamentary Democracy.
Elizabeth May Gives a Press Conference Outlining Consistent Abuse of Parliamentary Democracy. YouTube video by Green Party of Canada - Parti vert du Canada

I watched this press conference the other day and I wish everyone would. When you look at this abuse and add it to his stance on US/Israel aggression, it's a pretty ugly picture of a PM who's undermining democracy, our rights, and seems to be okay with war crimes, too.

Email your MP: No legal exemptions for the rich and powerful

Carney tried to bury an undemocratic power grab in a 600-page omnibus budget bill. It’s not too late to stop this egregious legislation – if we act now. share.nwmd.social/s/OQ9d2haV

Pierre wouldn't have the unflinching support Carney's had with a near-majority government. The cons are awfully quiet about Carney. People keep saying this about PP, but there would have been more protests and pushback. Liberal loyalists still think Carney's great. So...I'm not convinced.

Carney reaffirms Canada’s support for strikes on Iran β€˜with regret’ - National | Globalnews.ca Carney said in Australia that the growing Middle East conflict 'is another example of the failure of the international order' and that Canada's support 'is not a blank cheque.'

"I'm really sorry that I'm supporting an illegal bombing campaign, so sorry, incredibly sorry, but anyway, carry on boys, gotta get them Iranians before they hypothetically get us in the maybe future" is not it, my dude. Milquetoast diplomacy sucks so much.

They see trans people as expendable. They would rather ensure that 100 trans people can't transition so long as there is a possibility that 1 person might mistakenly transition. In no other field of medicine is that even remotely ethical to suggest or do.

04.03.2026 21:51 πŸ‘ 844 πŸ” 110 πŸ’¬ 11 πŸ“Œ 3

The question is always "what if a kid is wrongfully transitioned" and never "what if a trans kid is denied the ability to transition and endures years of excruciating dysphoria and has to have multiple surgeries later in life to fix the issues caused by going through the wrong puberty."
