Canadian legend Jann Arden loves Flipboard! Here's a clip of her talking on her podcast about how she's using it to plan her mudlarking trip to the U.K.
Every Conservative MP in #Canada voted against pharmacare that would provide life sustaining insulin for diabetics and birth control for women. Despite their mysogynist and ablist efforts, the legislation passed and will continue to the senate.
In 2022 I had an incredible trip up to #Yukon#Canada. I spent two weeks hiking and camping around the Northern Artic, getting rained on, hailed on, snowed on, and of course had a few moments of sun too.
While there, I made a collection of #monochrome images to capture the cloud patterns on the peaks. These are some favorites.
partner skateboards here :) we are new to mastodon. check out this video we made to mark our launch back in april for a wee taste of we’re are all about.
Last night Mr. Laffy, the twins, and I celebrated:
1- May 34th #TrumpGuilty
2- Finding a townhouse to put an offer on …in our preferred complex, exactly where we wanted to buy
3- Being together again, in #Canada for realsies
4- The rule of law working as it should
Today I woke up (I actually didn’t sleep much) under the weather… which started yesterday but was trying to ignore. So, no Champagne today.
My biggest gripe, as someone who is living in Canada and paying taxes in Canada, is seeing how incredibly biased the #CBC is.
I've watched or listened to CBC news since the 90s. I've seen their coverage of Israel for decades, and now inside Canada I've seen their coverage of the war in Gaza, and I've seen their lack of coverage of #antisemitism .
They simply bury the issue of antisemitism, not covering stories of antisemitic attacks or policies, or they use scary air quotes when discussing it, such as "Jewish groups claim" or they couch antisemitism in terms of Israel's actions- which is itself an antisemitic trope.
Unlike even the Canadian postal service, Canada Post, the CBC is a direct arm of the Canadian government as a Crown Corporation, and yet it continues to directly and indirectly propagate antisemitism through biased reporting and or deliberate omissions in coverage.
It's one of the things I find most shameful about how my tax dollars are used here in #Canada.
After weeks and months of chanting for violence against Jews worldwide, and calls for "Long Live October 7th" and "Intifada", at the protests, an attack on a synagogue in Vancouver
Let me stop #cdnpoli now from the run-away American-inspired narrative that only Trudeau can save us from Poilievre. We don’t have a two party system and Trudeau is turning #Canada into an unaffordable police state. So get over that Singh is in a turban and vote for someone who actually represents your long-term interests.
This is why I buy DRM free MP3s/FLACs, or I buy CDs and rip them. I can play them in the background, offline, etc. with no subscription required. Subscription services like Spotify pay very little to the artists, so not only do they get a bigger cut of the money when I "buy" a piece of music, but i actually own it with no further transactions required.
Hey Canadian nerds! I have held the domain registration for regex.ca for a very long time. When I lived in Canada it was my primary domain, but I haven't used it for years. Does anyone on the fediverse have a good use for it?
I'm going to release it but if you've got a good pitch I'll pay for a 1 year renewal and then transfer it to your ownership.
