Politics, pop culture, Habs & other sports π Exhausted feminist. When I use "LOL" I really DID laugh out loud. It's not hyperbole.

Every single day the PM of Canada answers many questions moving effortlessly from English to French to English and no one mentions it anymore. I'm still impressed.
How does Ontario NOT have a central booking site for ALL Ontarians to get their jabs? Why is it left to chance and benevolent strangers? In Qc you go to Clic-Sante, you look for your closest vaccination site and book it. It's very quick.
CPC hires a woman as comms director (good idea). First thing she does is try to take down Chrystia Freeland by mocking the way she speaks. (very bad idea). Surely to God we're all out of high school at this point.

"The Prime Minister, who'd been dismissive of the protesters and largely absent." holy shit. Cmon 5th Estate, the PM addressed the convoy, pre EA there wasn't much a PM could do, AND he had covid. You could have at least mentioned that. Christ.
Gawwwd the WHINING in this country.
Premiers: "JUSTIN DO SOMETHING!"
Premiers 2 months later: JUSTIN WHY ARE YOU DOING SOMETHING?"
Premiers: 5 months later "JUSTIN, DO SOMETHING AGAIN!"
Premiers: "JUSTIN, STOP DOING THAT"
Premiers: "THIS IS ALL JUSTIN"S FAULT"
People BEGGED Jason Kenney to cancel Stampede. They BEGGED Jason Kenney to set up a safe return-to-school program. They BEGGED Jason Kenney to treat their healthcare workers with dignity. He didn't listen.
My Twitter profile pic is the white ribbon we wear every December 6. What's December 6, you ask? It's the day Marc Lepine walked into a university and went room to room killing women who wanted to become engineers. I don't care if Carey Price wants to hunt deer
Just one thing... Bergen got caught writing an email to all her CPC colleagues saying they should keep up the encouraging of the protesters and blame Trudeau. Not even 24 hours later, everyone in media started blaming TRUDEAU. We're watching it happen!
Is no one else concerned that Stephen Harper is forming a shadow government all over the world with known tyrants?? I don't understand how he's getting away with it.
Every conservative premier in this country is slowly killing his/her province and I simply do not understand how 41% really want the federal conservatives to do the same horrible things to the country. I JUST DON'T GET IT!
It realllllllllly pisses me off that there are idjit campers outside Ottawa right now "protesting" how bad things are in Canada, on a weekend when Canada seems pretty f-ing great. FO with your trucks, flags and honking. Also, make a donation to a relief agency.
If I hear one more earnest columnist/op ed writer say that PP is on to something I'm gonna go OFF. He was MARCHING with WHITE SUPREMACISTS last WEEK. FFS, FOCUS!

I've BARELY gone into the grocery store for almost 2 years. I have ZERO patience for Canadians whining that they can't get back from some foreign country. We WENT thru this at the beginning. You were TOLD not to travel.
I hate pointing out the obvious but it's gotta be said, PMJT addressed the decades old blackface photo, apologized, said apology was accepted and he's won 2 elections since. Remind me again which election the insurance salesman won?
Margaret Trudeau has been a wonderful advocate for mental health programs for decades. Reducing her to "the PM's mother" really pisses me off. If there's one thing young women need it's an advocate.
PMJT went to Kamloops and met with ppl when the discovery was made and media types called it virtue signalling. He can't win with them. He just can't win.
I don't care for PP. Not at all. I don't however want to see him depicted as being hanged, I don't want ppl waving "F Poilievre" flags, I don't want ppl saying they want him arrested. I just want him to lose at the polls. I wish we could all get back to that.
Could those in the media please please PLEASE refrain from calling it a 'truckers protest'? The real truckers are the ones trying to cross the Ambassador Bridge (and at Coutts in Alberta, too).
PMJT is so good at this, and I don't mean testifying. He's really good at saying what he thinks --- And if you wonder why he continues to get support? It's cos we see this. While journos complain about him, we SEE him.
Guy Lafleur, more than any other player, was the bane of Don Cherry's existence. And for that I shall love Guy Lafleur forever. And will always 'poke the bear'
Stephen Harper should just take a seat. Austerity is the reason most govts didn't have the healthcare system in place to deal with this pandemic. Austerity kills, literally. That small govt bullshit? I'm done with it.
The more I think about CBC interviewing Theo Fleury on his 'expertise' on the Trudeau-WE matter, the angrier I get. Why didn't they just ask Don Cherry, or Rex Murphy or.. oh I know, how 'bout Conrad Black??
Whelp, congratulations, Cdn media. You've again ruined, utterly destroyed a charity, a scholarship fund, and a former GG, I know I'm forgetting some. Well done! Lies & half-truths, wild accusations, and no nuance. Well f-ing done!
Pierre Poilievre, CPC MPs, and National Inquirer Post and Sun are going to get people killed. People have GOT to start saying it. Poilievre is dangerous.
By now you've all seen the fundraising thing CPC tried today. To suggest that PMJT specifically is 'rigging the election' the week in which right wing sedition lovers stormed their own seat of govt is worse than appalling. That's what they've become tho.
Jen Psaki is so good. Reporters try that "People are saying," or "Americans think," and she stops them RIGHT there and asks "which Americans? What people?" and then they HAVE to admit they mean Trump. LOL
Oh FFS, do you THINK it's been a picnic for anyone in this country to get through pandemic and post-pandemic?? We weren't compelled to hold Ottawa hostage for a month. We dealt with it, got our shots and boosters, did what we were supposed to do!
WATCH: Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre criticized Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Wednesday for travelling by plane to attend the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York.

We're not stupid. And we're not seeing things. Restrictions on women's reproductive rights always start with "a fetus is a person" bill, and snotty posts from MPs and know-it-all op ed writers don't change that.
Why are they all the CPC MPs wearing plaid shirts now? Is it some kind of incel signal? (I just realized I sound like a conspiracy nut) Except I think they really are their new cosplay outfits.
While I'm glad to see our media outlets pay attention to Pierre Poilievre's dangerous lies over CP, I find it astounding that for the past 6 months, every post, every presser, every appearance from PP has been filled with lies. Over and over with no pushback.
Has any member of the media apologized to Anita Anand? During the first few months of the procurement process reporters SET THEIR HAIR ON FIRE every day while Anita just got on with her job, patiently answering questions when asked. I really admire her.
Unbelievable! All the conservative premiers (and I include Legault cos he might as well be conservative) are running SURPLUSES while their healthcare systems are falling apart. FFS.
So just to be clear, Conservatives today told us their theory of how electricity is made AND their plan to pull Canada out of the UN. Put that in your back pocket for election day.
I don't know what country you're living in, Shannon, but things are pretty good. Childcare,increasing dental care, child benefit, high employment figures & real jobs, planking inflation, you really should read more,Shannon.
After 8 years of these Liberals, Canadians are struggling.
Housing costs have doubled, and 20 per cent of Canadians skip meals just to afford the basics!
Canadians have never had it so bad, but Liberal insiders have never had it so good.
Conservatives will turn hurt into hope!
I don't know who the leader of the Green Party is listening to as adviser but going after Chrystia Freeland is likely NOT the way of going about shifting the media gaze. That's just stupid. Ms Freeland is admired.
Hang on, the airline industry is privately owned. What, pray tell, should a PM do about it? What would PP do about it? Airports, airlines, things like Sunwing, they're not govt entities. Justin Trudeau doesn't own any of these.
"This is a federal problem. It is the job of Justin Trudeau to bring back stability and service to our airline sector," Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre tells reporters in Ottawa when asked about ongoing flight delays and cancellations at Canadian airports.

This is NOT true. I am one of these seniors/retirees. Liberals restored OAS to 65, increased OAS & spouse allowances AND GIS. Stop lying.
#cdnpoli
#elxn44
CPC and their media friends keep threatening seniors re OAS & CPP, now using "Do YOU want to pay for your parents' benefits?" Guess what? That's how it's ALWAYS been. I paid for mine. They paid for theirs. Do you drive on paved roads? My parents paid for them.
CBC The National's headline about Feds' 'struggle with LTC homes".. Just a f-king moment. Feds sent in army, then Red Cross while PROVINCES were supposed to train and hire (at higher wages) staff. This failure is NOT federal responsibility.
What kind of moron do you have to be to go after the PM because he congratulated the retirement of a superstar athlete? I find the cruelty so debilitating.
I'm watching "Lac Megantic - This Is Not An Accident" on CBC Gem. It's devastating and eye-opening. Do not let the conservative party for govt. Please, I'm begging you.
In just a couple of months, Pierre Poilievre has gone off on Bank of Canada, WEF, and is now extolling the virtues of crypto currency/money laundering. And a lot of people are just letting him do it.
#cdnpoli
So let's just review for a minute -- CPC & cohorts ruined WE charity, tried to call Global Citizen summit a vacation for the PM, and are trying to wreck a scholarship program JUST because Justin Trudeau is PM. All with media cheering them on.
I know a lot of men who just roll their eyes at things like this but PMJT was part of some remarkable work and commitments re: women's reproductive rights at the
#GlobalCitizen
summit today. Some may sneer but I sure do appreciate it.
I've always thought my little twitter mini-bio was pleasant and non-threatening, but apparently it bothers the neck-beards and truck dudes. Who knew???
They've ruined a charity, an educational foundation, and a former governor general to 'own the libs.' Well done. It's taken years but you've reallllly poured it on the last couple of years.
"This was an emergency that Justin Trudeau created by attacking his own population, by driving up their cost of living, by making it impossible for people to pay their bills, and live their lives in peace," says Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre as he comments on
#POEC
report.
Stop looking surprised when Pierre Poilievre is cruel. The cruelty is a feature. He thrives on it. I don't think Canadians are cruel by nature but I dunno, judging by the polls, maybe we are.
I cannot stress how angry I am that the blue-suited group of premiers that Macleans Mag deemed "The Resistance" last year are now risking our lives and short-selling us like we're their stock market. Media still busy both-sidesing this shit.
Anyone else get the feeling that all those Conservative premiers and govts across the country have been sitting on Covid money and letting their citizens DIE and get sick? Yeah, that's about right.
I swear to God when I posted this yesterday I had no idea Stephen Harper was going to weigh in with his sceptre and crown and wave in Pierre Poillievre's general direction in the leadership race. But my point remains. Stephen Harper made me a proud lifelong Liberal
