@grivettcarnac You must have been driving through Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston, Randy Hillier's old riding. Don't be fooled by the name — it doesn't contain the city of Kingston (that riding is Kingston and the Islands). Rather, it's a white trash containment area immediately north of the city. Everyone in Kingston avoids it like the plague. #cdnpoli #onpoli

I listened to the committee meeting where this was debated in #ottawa and one councillor was snidely dismissive of calling Musk a “n*zi” and that we can’t control speech in this way, others had nothing to say but voted the motion down anyway cuz they don’t have the capacity to argue either way I guess, and others complained about the cost to switch etc. The city just started podcasting to try and reach more people, twitter is not essential at all #canada #cdnpoli #onpoli cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia

CBCHalifax council votes overwhelmingly to discontinue using X platform | CBC NewsThe move comes after a staff report highlighted concerns with X politically and following debate on its effectiveness as a communication tool.  It only applies to the eight accounts overseen by corporate communications staff on behalf of the municipality.

The sweeping generalizations never seem to get interrogated, like Pierre saying he’ll get rid of “woke” and yet what is happening before our eyes down south won’t happen here cuz it’s hyperbole right? It’s not serious right? It’s not supremacist and racist at its core right? Cuz not “all” supporters are these things right? Let’s continue minimizing cuz it can’t happen here. Or that the CPC have their own 100 day move fast and break shit plan? Fuck #canada #cdnpoli #ottawa #onpoli

It’s an interesting aspect of so called “strong-men” that they universally seem to like the fucking sledgehammer. A+B=C over and over and over because people and societies are complex and we are string through with nuance, and our existences are multi-faceted but there is none of that in men obsessed with power and unparalleled confidence in their tiny little belief systems. Just fucking sledgehammers that destroy everything #cdnpoli #canada #ottawa #onpoli

I drove all the way backroads to Kingston last weekend to buy a bike, and it’s mostly blue signs and big flags, oh and a big ol’ truck flying a Trump flag. Ever since the convoy, my own resolve to fly a flag basically evaporated, and I find it such a weird cultural clusterfuck we find ourselves in. I do find it funny that the convoy folks are mad that everyone is flying flags right now tho, but if you fly one from your vehicle? Do not trust you #canada #cdnpoli #ottawa #onpoli
