“Immigration attorney Nicole Micheroni was born at Newton Wellesley Hospital, grew up in Sharon, Massachusetts, and was educated at Wellesley College. So, imagine her surprise when she received an emailed letter from the Department of Homeland Security, telling her to self-deport within 7 days…”
Let’s be clear - they’re not just deleting DEI policies and code words, they’re deleting actual people of color and women. www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...
Excellent reporting Rachel, thank you!
Been ruminating about Doug Ford wanting to be leader of the CPC, and... I just don't see it. He's Emperor of Toronto (let's be honest -- everyone else is invisible), and of development deals. He finds the rest of it boring. I think he likes the attention though
The federal leaders survived the French-language debate without major incident — for better or for worse.
The same can’t be said for the debate organizers, who absolutely shit the bed in an impressive number of ways.
That's why the scrums were a right-wing clown show.
Let’s talk about it all:
Just got my copoy of the book; I was glancing at it while reading your tweet.
It's hard to see all those people who look away... everyday, I am disappointed by seeing more and more of the people that I believed would stand up just give in to zionist pressure.
It's devastating.
Human kindness still exists ♥️
Norway just entered a bill to give transgender Americans asylum in the country of Norway…
LGBTQ+ STRONG! 🌈✨♥️
Re #5 -- Gov't Duplication
This is essential Program Review, which was undertaken government-wide by Chretien & Martin back in the mid '90s. It continues to this day in some form. The key is in the application, which one would assume would be different for a Poilievre gov't (shudder) than Carney.
She is beaming as always! 😃
Her treats look delicious!
Approximately 75% of Canada's oil & gas industry is foreign-owned.
PET was attempting to make it possible for Canadians to own the development of their own natural resources.
So of course they fought back.
Poilievre is cruel to the core.
Really incredible to have CTV, an entire broadcast news outlet, say they 'don't have the bandwidth' to deal with the type of harassment that Rachel Gilmore deals with as an individual journalist all the time.

I've missed him in my feed, and have wondered what happened.
In 20 yrs, I've never witnessed Pierre Poilievre answering a question. I asked him one at a candidate meet-up 20 years ago, and he just talked about something completely different and ignored the issue I raised.
He's still a 16 yr old debater, and as time goes by, it gets harder for him to answer.
The largely American & foreign-owned oil companies in Calgary grabbed hold of the narrative and never let go. The truth never had a chance in AB. Their narrative has nurtured victimhood and anger for generations -- and all based on distortions and lies.

Bruce came to our dour twice -- he's been doing this a couple of years already. He's determined!

As we were discussing in passing during our conversation yesterday.
So apparently Canada wasn’t mentioned in the just released U.S. Annual Threat Assessment “as a source of illicit fentanyl.”
AT ALL.
And yet Trump specifically cited fentanyl as THE LEGAL JUSTIFICATION for starting a trade war with Canada using tariffs by executive order.
Proof the EO is illegal.
Ballal was released from detention on Tuesday, a day after being injured and arrested. He said he was kept blindfolded for more than 20 hours, sitting on the floor under a blasting air conditioner. The soldiers kicked, punched or hit him with a stick
Palestinian film director and Academy Award-winner Hamdan Ballal was violently attacked by what his colleague described as a “lynch mob” of Israeli settlers on Monday night in the Palestinian village of Susya, south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank.
Ed the Sock is a wise sole
Notice all the ex-presidents are too cowardly to speak up as democracy is being dismantled?
He's determined to bring Canada to its knees, and is oblivious to what he is doing to Americans.
He's getting a lot of pushback.
The damage is done though -- the US is unreliable and unpredictable, anathema to economic stability and growth.
We had to buy this tile from a commercial supplier in California (? I forget... over 20 yrs) because no one sold it in Canada, and no retailers in US. It's Brazilian.
I'm very willing to track down online sources across the world...
@toondreessen.bsky.social -- Do you know of anything similar to Vidrotil tiles?
When we found them, there was nothing similar -- ie, handmade and irregular -- on the market. ☹️
Checking into getting more of tiles for upcoming bath renovation projects -- we used the same white handmade glas. mosaic tile in the kitchen and bathrooms -- only to find they went out of business in 2020. Covid?
Not the biggest problem in the world, but gutted. Loved them for decades.
I was stunned the first time it happened to me.
