#Breaking: Canada beats Great Britain to win gold in men's curling

US continually release new policies "that destabilise vaccine confidence globally … so in some respects, we haven’t hit the bottom of what’s coming,” says Dr Jessica Kaufman." “My hope is that local Australian efforts [to tackle hesitancy] are significant enough” www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

The belief that you cannot criticize a leader (Carney) is a metric people use to determine if someone is in a cult or not.

The bad news: fewer Americans trust the proven vaccine schedule. The better news: RFK, Jr. is hurting Republican in upcoming elections. youtu.be/jxnK7v53JlI?...

Trump voters knew what they were voting for. They were fine with other families being torn apart. They were fine with ICE enforcement as long as it didn’t target them. This is basically “I knew they would do this to others but not someone I love!” They can come for anyone.

I wrote a script that I got to collaborate with a marine biologist advisor on. One thing she described is a tension between animal activists and animal scientists, because activism tends to focus on anthropomorphizing individual animals to get people to care, and scientists focus on the species.

Ease of access but also ongoing education and communication needed IMO. “The Australian government is engaging immunisation experts about reinforcing the message to parents and [improving] access and affordability to increase vaccination rates,” www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Liberals on X giving “I can excuse fascism, but I draw the line at Avi Lewis.”

I still can't tell whether half of these curling shots are good or not.

Montreal has spoken. 🇯🇵

The only abuse I receive on Bluesky is from Carney supporters, they’re no better than conservatives now.

OpenAI did not disclose Tumbler Ridge shooter’s activity despite meeting with B.C. government day after shooting: province

It’s a choice by Poilievre to keep him in caucus to say all the most terrible things.

Karen Newton is a 65 year old British granny who traveled to the US on a valid tourist visa. She ended up shackled and thrown in a camp for 6 weeks. She’s warning others not to go there. She did nothing wrong. Agents were just making their quota. Collecting their “bonus”.

Support For Allowing More Chinese Electric Vehicles Into The Canadian Market: 18-34 Year Olds: 🟢 Support: 58% ⚫️ Oppose: 23% 35-54 Year Olds: 🟢 Support: 56% ⚫️ Oppose: 26% 55+ Year Olds: 🟢 Support: 67% ⚫️ Oppose: 20% Leger / Feb 2, 2026

I hope people understand the severity of the suspension of the rule of law. If Poilievre did this, there would be country-wide demonstrations. No politician should have this kind of power.

I wonder if he will reconsider now that we know the Tumbler Ridge tragedy could have been avoided if OpenAI was responsible.

Yes, the U.S. is struggling to contain the measles outbreak. And that is because Republicans in Congress voted to confirm a man as HHS Secretary who both leads and profits from the anti-vaccination movement. Well done, shitbirds.

Millennial woman horrified to learn she just wakes up early now

It still happens all the time and you wonder why there are so many tensions in this country when people are this ignorant.

Well worth joining us. Now more than ever.

The CEO and shareholders of Open AI don’t care about the lives of anyone who uses chat gpt, the ethical consequences (whether that’s planning murders, hallucinating false info or it generally destroying the planet) they just care about money. We’re living in the worst timeline.

Watching the men’s curling gold medal game. Mark Kennedy, Canada curling skip, was Ana’s coach at Kevin Martin’s curling school, back in the day. We knew he was going to do well.

We were promised “middle-power world leadership” at Davos and the first tests Carney has had: opening an Epstein investigation, helping Cuba, he has failed. I wouldn’t follow him to water if I was thirsty.

Support For Allowing More Chinese Electric Vehicles Into The Canadian Market: Support: 61% Oppose: 23% Leger / Feb 2, 2026

ICE’s purchases for big detention centers are marked by secrecy, frustrating towns

If that were true, why hasn’t Canada 🇨🇦 opened an Epstein investigation like all the other G20 countries have?

Haven’t they been through enough? I hope Conservatives are proud of themselves for riling everyone up online. Sending ❤️ to Tumbler Ridge.

Nooooo! “Projected snow totals for the storm continue to increase. As of Saturday afternoon, the Lehigh Valley and Poconos are forecast to get between 8 and 16 inches of snow, according to the National Weather Service forecast office in Mount Holly, New Jersey.”

A reminder that Covid is a part of the weaponry the right is using toward immigrants, and continuing to ignore it helps them.

Thank you fellow masked travelers in flight today and in airports #maskedinflight this is normalized for the rest of our lives

This guy whose girlfriend died when he abandoned her on a mountain had already tried to do the same thing to a previous girlfriend. His punishment for trying to kill at least two women, and being successful with one of them? A five month suspended sentence. This isn’t justice. It’s patriarchy.

The quiet part out loud, they want you as ignorant as possible as to who has the most effect on your lives. People should know who the Justices are, that’s not politicizing the court.

Mark Carney has confirmed that Canada is building a trade relationship with the European Union and the other 11 economies that make up the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership.

Why haven’t we heard from organized labour who will likely be most affected by this? #canlab @abworker.bsky.social

What's the best decade for music? The music of YOUR youth! Incredible how our musical tastes ossify early & become stronger as we age. Such a cliche: "Music today sucks, but in my youth..." BTW, correct answer: 1970s!🤘 But amazing stuff now!

Within days of the Trump election I spoke up in Parliament warning that we had entered the age of monsters. I felt it essential to speak to the urgency of the moment. In this piece I share the words I gave back then. They ring true today. substack.com/home/post/p-...

1) There is no negotiating with this rogue state. 2) American consumers ultimately pay the tariffs. 3) You mean the mob only did me a favor to get something in return? Oh, Fat Tony. I will say good day to you, Sir.

For the record, the “Overton Window” was coined by a wonk at a right-wing think tank It’s an overly-simplistic explanation of how public discourse works and appeals to people who are too lazy to read Foucault and think if they tweet out the craziest shit they can think of they are impacting change
