@ReiverHall @GeoffRuss3 He was a fucking loonie thst held on to power. Any idiot could have dine a better job in WW2 as PM, why should he get any credit for it? The conscription crisis was entirely of his doing.

@JarkMess @GeoffRuss3 He was PM for 26 years - saw Canada through the Great Depression and WWII. Confirmed the principle of Parliamentary Supremacy in Canada (King-Byng Affair). Donated his estate to the People of Canada.

I respect these people, but I dislike that the only figures we truly venerate tend to be uncontroversial people who impress international audiences.
Who is our national heroes, like a Theodore Roosevelt or Joan of Arc?

One thing I love about Canada is the heroes we venerate: - Chris Hadfield - Terry Fox - Harriet Tubman (who led American slaves to freedom in Canada)

@esanzi @olivia_p_walker If you have foot problems, its pretty common and easy to just bring a dedicated pair of indoor shoes or crocs
English
@olivia_p_walker Or to not come! A lot of people don't want to or can't spend an evening standing in bare feet!
For flat footed people, this would be so painful.
English
Hosting an event or a party at your home and requiring that guests remove their shoes when they arrive is rude. And weird. And reveals an irrational concern over dirt and germs.
If you insist on doing this, make sure the invitation includes a warning!

@ReiverHall @GeoffRuss3 What did Mackenzie King do that's worthy of honouring?
English
@GeoffRuss3 My man, your history teachers must have really sanitized their classes. I can think of multiple people in Cdn history who are honoured AND have mixed reviews:
Louis Riel
William Lyon MacKenzie
Gen Sir Arthur Currie
William Lyon MacKenzie-King
And more

@suquili88 @cremieuxrecueil This. If I make a Joker style rictus, I can get quiet thunder. If that's the muscle it hits, then ok
English
@cremieuxrecueil I can. I can also hear it when I grin really hard. I suppose whatever I'm doing it's still flexing that muscle.
English
I refuse to believe the frequency of this is just 15%
There has to be some sort of misunderstanding, because everyone I randomly spoke to says they can do it.

@colbycosh See I'm thinking the Monarch Reigns Best Who Rules Least, and we stumbled into an optimum level of monarchy by happy accident.

Total kingmogging. Always be monarchymaxxing

The Night’s Watch was completely justified in killing Jon.
He swore an oath not to take a part in the affairs of the realm and there’s no exception because someone really wants to.
It’s the kind of thing Ned Stark would execute a Lord Commander for.

@SportsThor Drai forcing Knob to coach is my favourite storyline this year
English
Coincidence, I think not. Draisaitl an absolute genius to go out with an injury knowing Knob would finally roll 4.

All 12 @EdmontonOilers FWD's played 10+ minutes tonight...and for the 3rd straight game the 4th line was involved in the opening goal for EDM...who are now tied with Anaheim for top spot in the Pacific.

@jengerson Is there a proper transcript available? I listened last night and there was a few things Kenney said that I that I think are worth looking at closer
English
I'm trying to find the exact moment the Liberals discovered they could just announce things, do literally nothing to fulfill the thing, and nobody would care.

Look obviously the only solution here is two states for two peoples

This is the most confusing thing I've ever seen. His name is seriously Dub Gleed?

Dub Gleed broke his bat tonight on a check swing that involved ZERO contact 😳

How will Olivia Chow and Avi Lewis keep well-to-do people from using their state-owned grocery stores?
English
So the guy who ran for political office twice, is the son and grandson of well known Canadian politicians and is running to lead a political party isn't a politician. Sure.
The Hill Times@TheHillTimes
At a packed church in downtown Winnipeg, Avi Lewis supporters said they typically steer clear of endorsing politicians, but are showing up for the activist and filmmaker because he’s not a politician. #cdnpoli hilltimes.com/2026/03/26/he-…

Nah, this man looks like he’s in his third decade maybe fourth tops.

The legend @Bob_Stauffer enters his seventh decade on the planet today. Please wish “Concrete Charlie” (another clue) the best!

I mentioned my boobs once and now my tl is filled with boobs. Not mad, just monitoring the situation.

@BobaTHEFett4 @mark_slapinski Hey now, why you gotta do weasels like that.
English
@mark_slapinski Likely because they are being lead by what I can only describe as a spineless weasel

Why isn't a SINGLE Right-winger in Canada calling Trump out for:
- Starting a trade war with Canada
- Starting an illegal war with Iran
- Being in the Epstein files
I'm genuinely curious?!

@cselley @jengerson @tylermeredith He's not Immortal YET. What about when he merges with the sand-trout and becomes the prescient God-Emperor we need to lead us to the Elbows Up future?

I thank providence every day that there are people who can make a profit by filling my belly. Because if there wasn't, they wouldn't be doing it.

BREAKING: Toronto approves city-run grocery stores In a 21–3 vote, councillors backed Anthony Perruzza’s plan to launch 4 municipally run stores to offer cheaper food. Big test for public retail.
