Sorry not fucking sorry I don't care whether there's a deal tween Canada/US I won't,as much as is possible,buy US product and definitely NEVER spend a dime in that shithole country. For me this isn't just about economics/sovereignty,it's a matter of principle on so many levels

Nobody tells you what happens when opioid medication actually works. For a chronic pain patient, I mean. Nothing spectacular. That’s the part people don’t understand. You don’t suddenly become euphoric. You don’t forget you have chronic pain. You don’t become superhuman. You become ordinary. You take a shower without negotiating with your body first. You make breakfast. You answer a text. You sit in the car without wondering how many minutes your back can tolerate. Maybe you go somewhere. Maybe you laugh hard enough that, for thirty seconds, you forget to monitor every sensation coming from your body. The pain may still be there. It just isn’t narrating every second of your life anymore. That’s what gets lost in almost every conversation about opioids. For chronic-pain patients, successful pain treatment isn’t about feeling good. It’s about having enough relief to participate in your own life. Enough relief to become interested in something besides surviving the next hour. Enough relief that your world gets bigger than your pain. And maybe that’s why people who have never needed these medications misunderstand them so badly. They imagine the medication adding something intoxicating to your life. Sometimes what it’s actually doing is giving something back. A shower. A meal. A drive. A conversation. A little independence. A piece of yourself. When opioid medication actually works, you don’t disappear into the drug. You get to reappear in your own life.

Thank you, Japan. It’s important that our partners are here, in Ukraine, to support our people amid Russia’s savage escalation of drone and missile terror. Together, we can protect lives, and air defense is key to that.

Men: Sorry, it was a mistake. I was drunk and didn’t know what I was doing. Also men: She was drunk but she knew what she was doing

Fuck yourself for here to eternity, may you never know peace.

Just off the coast of Deer Island, New Brunswick is Old Sow. The largest whirlpool in the Western Hemisphere, it is the size of a football field and has existed for hundreds of years. It also has quite an interesting history. This is the story. 📸 Walter Baxter 🧵 1/6

They say they hate “wokeness,” but what they really hate is empathy. Because once you start caring about other people’s experiences, inequalities become harder to ignore, and privilege becomes harder to defend.

Weird, the food dude told me it was because of Trudeau and Carney.

A public service message to the "No Bones" crowd. As a civilized nation, we do not exhume remains other than for archaeological purposes or forensic investigations. It is more than adequate to understand that bodies are buried and the numbers are supported by other evidence. We do not unearth remains and desecrate graves soley based on some far-right, radical, organization's inane belief that if they cannot see a bone it must be untrue. Although GPR data is not conclusive when used on it;s own, but when combined with other information, anomalies in the context of site conditions, survey patterns, high‑precision GPS, ArcGIS, and other evidence, community resources and public datasets one can map over 200 anomalities/graves at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School. We do not see to see a bone to understand and believe truth.

There are no blurred lines when it comes to consent. Yet it is still too often misunderstood, ignored or dismissed. There is no excuse for sexual violence. Women’s rights and choices must be protected. — via @UN_Women

Trump on sleeping with Miss Universe contestants: "Well, you could also say, as the owner of the pageant, it's your obligation to do that"

In the 1970s, the economic genuises of the Conservative Party of Canada were declaring the Canada Pension Plan would be tapped out by the year 2000 at the latest. The Pierre Trudeau Liberals were squandering funds at the expense of future generations, they moaned. They could not have been more wrong. The scaremongers of @cpc_hq owe Canadians another apology: The CPP in 2026 approaches $1 trillion in holdings.

In the wake of the Stelco decision, RW Influencers and CPC MPs were using Trump's "announcement" to try to punctuate the announcement and show how amazing the US is, and how Canada is crumbling... The problem? Trump's done deal "steel mill" is totally fabricated and made up... Funny how this keeps happening. Those that choose to platform him to "own Carney" keep end up exposing themselves as fools.

We are gullible to ever believe that privatization can save public money. Private corporations require profit to pay to shareholders. Public healthcare never requires profit. Of course private costs more.

RT @VoiceOfFranky: Perhaps I am off on this but I genuinely believe that Canada is going to come out of this imbroglio with the USA better…

Oh Lung cancer patients who received an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine lived nearly twice as long as unvaccinated patients.

This isn't a message to Ottawa. It's a massive blow to Alberta. 📉 GDP ↓ 6% 👷 Jobs ↓ 175K 💰 Economy ↓ $62B/year That's the economic cost of separation outlined in a new @CalgaryChamber report...

This is not something Canada can afford to ignore. CBC’s reporting exposes allegations of neo-Nazi ideology, antisemitism, racial hatred and discussions of violence within Second Sons Canada. Hate groups cannot be allowed to recruit, organize and spread their poison unchecked. Authorities, institutions and communities must take this threat seriously and act decisively against violent extremism. apple.news/ADVT90iVES7CB2F2K…

The name on the wrapper of all our bars matters to us. We’re glad it matters to so many of you, too. Thank you to The Canadian Press for featuring our Lake Ontario bar and the response it has received, with coverage shared by @CTVNews and @CityNews 🇨🇦 ca.news.yahoo.com/lake-ontar…

Residential School denialism in Canada is the same level of ignorance and stupidity as we see to the south with MAGA. A blinding level of ignorance and stupidity that is hard to understand and accept. Shame on all the Canadians out there who refuse to educate themselves to understand the realities and profound impacts of the Residential Schools. 🇨🇦
