An elderly black man was slowly walking in with a cane, and I told him he could vote from his car and he said “No thank you. I’ve been made to wait 8 hours and had to pay the poll tax. I’m going inside to vote.” 😭😭😭😭😭 I am literally crying and trying to pull myself together. Please please be enough 🙏

Holy shit. Biden just turned Marjorie Taylor Greene’s own words attacking him into a commercial.

@prairiecentrist Yup! Russian shills incoming

@prairiecentrist Just a reminder of NATO’s strength to anyone who might doubt it This doesn’t even include NATO’s vastly superior surveillance/intelligence networks & training, which as we have learned, can be very effectively leveraged in battle.

Kudos to the newly elected MPs who did not campaign on homophobia.

This is not normal.

@prairiecentrist At the time, it was not out of the question that people would be taken off of ventilate to be used for those with a higher chance of survival. Imagine knowing we could have had hundreds more but it was delayed because the government was forced to seek an RFP?

@prairiecentrist 100% no

An amazing #Optometry colleague I had the pleasure of working with. Please help support his young family #Cancer #ontario #donate #fundraising #crowdfund #charity gofund.me/2743bc8c

@prairiecentrist TNG’s best was Data, but DS9 is harder - either Quark or Dax I think.

@prairiecentrist I honestly would love it if they did. It would give me confidence that they will adhere to the post WW2 world order if given power.

Optometrists have access to non-invasive, low-cost imaging tech that could diagnose a variety of #health conditions that go beyond #vision disorders, including #cardiac and #kidney disorders. This could enhance health outcomes and reduce care costs #ai lnkd.in/dfK9dwJ4

@djbip1986 @prairiecentrist @JaredDapena @cheryllynn27c PP is not attacking the lacklustre programming. He is playing up a time-old fascist and Trump-amplified trope of attacking journalists/media as the enemy. There is a huge market for such nonsense. Do you know where this kind of thinking leads us? I’m not sure I want to find out.

@prairiecentrist @JaredDapena @cheryllynn27c My point I guess is that, as much as I disagree with PP’s attack, if you are a conservative-leaning Canadian, there is virtually nothing of interest to you on CBC.

Good threat on this CBC/Twitter nonsense. I haven't wanted to comment on it because the whole thing is silly, but the below thread sums up my feelings as well.

@prairiecentrist @djbip1986 @MarcLevesqueEco 100% this. At the least, he courts people who are active threats to democratic institutions, which is one in the same.

@djbip1986 If twitter is going to do this, they really should have a separate category for media that does not have journalistic independence. Or show where the money comes from for all media outlets, which might be more illuminating.

"CBC/Radio-Canada is publicly funded through a parliamentary appropriation that is voted upon by all MPs, and that its editorial independence is protected in law in the Broadcasting Act." #canpoli nationalnewswatch.com/2023/04/16/twi…

@djbip1986 @mileslunn Oh yeah of course - they are still fun though!

@CanadianOptom @mileslunn These things are more fun than anything — it’s hard to know how to answer the questions. If it were a poll, my guess is it’s accurate within +/- 10%.

My conservatism test results. Good God, I’m slightly less conservative than ⁦@mileslunn⁩, who scored 53% idrlabs.com/conservatism/t…

@prairiecentrist I love this

@robertbenzie That’s not an accurate statement, Robert.

Six days into the Brier and not a single emailed fan complaint about players screaming too loud. Truly wish I could say the same during the Scotties. But, of course, I can't. It's International Women's Day, and you should read this column about why that crap needs to stop.
