@gazpromqueen @echipiuk Saw that in real time. Drew me in. Been a supporter of hers ever since. But wouldn’t it have been wild to see their heads implode or eyeballs spin upon hearing of her demographics getting her seat? And then running for Leadership…🗯️

@echipiuk Having been a full time CBC listener in the past, when Leslyn Lewis was elected to the HOC, i don’t think I heard her name mentioned once in any of their programming, at a time when they were constantly bemoaning the lack of diversity. Bizzarre.

When the hypocrisy between words and actions is so very obvious, I have a hard time comprehending how anyone doesn’t see it. We had an NDP convention handing out literal “privilege” cards literally ranking people and assigning value based on identity, putting white, straight men last, only to elect a white, straight man as their leader. Alberta has elected a female premier, and for a period both provincial parties were led by women, yet Alberta is constantly portrayed as some hick, backward, repressed place. The Liberals talk about transparency and accountability, yet reckless spending, and even unlawful actions, go unaccounted for. The players change, but the same game continues. Meanwhile, at the federal level, have they ever elected a female leader? The answer is no. Protestors were called some of the worst things by so called “leaders” and legacy media, yet all they did was try to hold those in public office to account, which is exactly their role in a democracy. They did it on their own dime. Meanwhile, many of those claiming to act “for the public” won’t lift a finger unless they are paid handsomely to do so. For generations, Indigenous communities faced decisions made about them, not with them. Now it has gone so far that people are walking on eggshells, so much so that land is taken, acknowledgements are made, yet nothing of substance has actually improved. Governments speak of reconciliation, but instead of fixing the underlying issues, the relationship just shifts from one broken version to another. At some point, you have to see what is right in front of your eyes. You can’t keep rewriting reality to fit your preferred narrative. And more importantly, you can’t keep ignoring contradictions when they are this clear. If we actually care about accountability, fairness, and truth, then those principles have to apply consistently, not only when they are convenient or politically useful. Because once we start excusing hypocrisy depending on who it benefits, we are no longer standing on principle, we are just picking sides.

@sauve_brian When will there be an election again, Brian?

Brian Sauvé for NPF President. Proven results: 32% pay increase, more resources, better support. Let’s keep moving forward. I’m asking for your vote.

The wildest part of yesterday’s unhinged press conference, was Provost yelling at the media, demanding they stop platforming the “gun lobby”. She wants you to stop hearing from stakeholders, the ONLY people impacted by this gun grab. Good, honest people who’ve done nothing to deserve this. This grab doesn’t affect criminals, or repeat violent offenders - they get a free pass. 🇨🇦🆘

I was a professor for 15 years at the University of Guelph-Humber. I said Hamas were Nazis — in a comment to a stranger in Pakistan, unrelated to my job. A faculty member with thousands of posts calling Jews “filth” and “subhuman” helped lead the campaign against me. I was suspended without charges. Within hours, a completely false story about me was circulating across campus. The university refused to correct it — and let it spread for two years. Their “human rights” department didn’t investigate him. They cleared him. Jewish students had already told me they felt they had to hide their Stars of David. I told them they could come to my office if they ever felt unsafe. I was fired. They were left without that protection. If you think this matters, restack this. #CampusClimate #AcademicIntegrity #DueProcessMatters #InstitutionalAccountability #FreeInquiry #ProtectStudents #EqualStandards #CivilLiberties @HeterodoxAcademy @TheFIREorg @speechunion @ARPAcanada @CIJAinfo @bnaibrithcanada @nationalpost @JohnIvison open.substack.com/pub/paulfinlay…

@GailSmithlegal @TWilsonOttawa Consider the %’s here for a minute… How many prosecutors in the nation again? Google it. And how many lawful firearms owners are there? Lots & lots & lots… Carry on being ignorant, willfully blind or not adequately caffeinated. But math is important folks!

@TWilsonOttawa Do I understand correctly that it is wrong to blame all gunnies because only a few commit crimes, but it is ok to condemn all crown prosecutors because one is being investigated for a crime?

Holy crap

@Muatra @UCCavalier @FortySacks Correct. Politics is the art of the POSSIBLE. If you are told, ‘Your plan is undoable,’ then you do not do it. That defined the previous Liberal ‘govt’ to a ‘T’. This mess cannot be completed as designed, they well-know it & feel that they are not (yet?) in position to stop it.

This is why Canadians will never lose or give up their guns.

@zach_therock44 @GunOwnersofCana I wouldn’t have said “willingly have their names run daily.” Rather, I would have said ‘suffer having their names run…’ instead. But I understand & agree w/ you completely. I am trustworthy & have a proven track record of it. Leave me the heLL alone until I become problematic.

@GunOwnersofCana People who voluntarily get background checks and willingly have their names run daily aren’t any problem to Canada ,quite the opposite.Trustworthy comes to mind

You just can't make this stuff up. While Ottawa is spending hundreds of millions of our tax dollars trying to confiscate property from the most vetted, law-abiding citizens in the country through the ASFCP, guess who is currently under RCMP investigation for allegedly smuggling illegal weapons? A provincial Crown Prosecutor in Newfoundland and Labrador. According to reports this morning, the RCMP raided the St. John's home of a provincial Crown attorney, seizing nine firearms, prohibited magazines, brass knuckles, and a suppressor that was intercepted by the CBSA at the border. We will say it until we are blue in the face: Canada's crime problem comes from smuggled, illicit firearms, NOT from your licensed, daily-vetted PAL holders. While everyday Canadian gun owners jump through hoops, safely store our property, and follow the law to a tee, the real criminals are completely ignoring the system. In this case, it’s allegedly someone whose literal job is to uphold the law! It is incredibly frustrating to see our brothers and sisters in the shooting sports community treated as a scapegoat by politicians, while the actual source of the problem, the border, remains a sieve. It's time to stop targeting the guy next door who just wants to take his family to the range or head out into the deer woods. What do you think? If you were in charge, would you scrap the confiscation program tomorrow and put every single penny of that money into CBSA border enforcement? Want to chime in here @gary_srp? cbc.ca/news/canada/ne…

@dramaticfred @Michaelkinger73 @realjaysneezy @ryangerritsen @grok Now that’s funny right there…

@Michaelkinger73 @realjaysneezy @ryangerritsen @grok Or a month of Disney Plus.

This was Freeland when she found out the court said they violated the charter of rights and freedoms when they invoked the Emergencies Act, her along with Trudeau felt it was wise to waste even more time and money so they filed an appeal. They lost again in Court today. Now what? If the Government can get away with violating the Charter with zero consequences what is the point of it?

The world at Little Bay Islands is still dressed in shades of night, a deep indigo brushed with the faintest charcoal grey, when the journey begins. Before the sun has made its decision to rise, the path around the harbour calls. It is a quiet pilgrimage, a daily conversation with the world in its most honest state. In the photograph, the wild grasses stand as dark sentinels against the dawn’s first blush, their feathery tops a delicate script written on the horizon. They are the first witnesses to the day, and to walk among them is to become a witness, too. This is not a task or a routine, but a practice. It is the practice of paying attention. Many would wonder at the devotion to a single, repeated stretch of road. They might see the same water, the same rocks, the same houses huddled against the shore and ask if the landscape ever grows tired. The truth is, the landscape is never the same. To believe it is unchanging is to look without truly seeing. The secret is that this walk is not a circle, but a spiral, returning to the same coordinates but from a different place in time, in season, in spirit. Each day offers a new lesson in the language of subtlety. The light alone is an endless study. In the sharp air of September, it arrives as a sliver of molten gold, casting long, dramatic shadows that make the familiar world seem theatrical and new. In the thick blanket of a July fog, the light is a diffuse, pearlescent glow, softening every edge and muffling all sound, transforming the harbour into a dreamscape where land and water dissolve into one another. A winter morning offers a light that is thin and crystalline, so pure it seems to hum, reflecting off the snow with a brilliance that is both stark and beautiful. To see this is to understand that light is not merely a thing that allows for sight; it is an active participant, a painter that changes the canvas every single day. The sounds of the harbour tell their own story, a daily orchestration that shifts with the mood of the ocean. On the calmest of mornings, there is a profound silence. It is not an absence of sound, but a presence. It is a quiet so deep you can hear the whisper of your own breath, the steady, reliable beat of your own heart. In this stillness, the distant cry of a gull is not a noise but an event, a sharp, lonely note that hangs in the air before dissolving. Then there are the other days, the days of conversation, when a gentle breeze rustles the dry leaves of late autumn, a sound like soft applause for the turning of the season. And then there are the days of fury, when a northeasterly wind drives the North Atlantic into the harbour. On these mornings, there is no silence. There is only the roar, a percussive and ancient rhythm of water crashing against rock. It is a sound that does not ask for your attention but commands it, a reminder of the immense, untamable power that cradles this small island. The sound of the ocean is the earth’s own heartbeat, sometimes a gentle murmur, other times a thunderous pulse. This feast for the senses extends beyond sight and sound. The very air has a texture and a scent that changes with the calendar. There is the ever present smell of the sea, a clean, briny perfume that speaks of distance and depth. After a low tide, it mingles with the damp, organic scent of seaweed drying on the beaches. Following a summer rain, the air is thick with the smell of wet earth and grateful grass, a fragrance of pure renewal. In winter, the air is different again; it is so cold and clean that it feels sharp in the lungs, carrying no scent at all, as if the world has been washed clean. To walk this path is to feel the cool, damp kiss of the fog on your skin, to feel the bite of the wind and the gentle warmth of the first sunbeam as it finally crests the hill. It is an immersion, a full body experience of place. To pause, as I did for this photograph, is to move from simple observation to a deeper state of communion. It is one thing to see the grass silhouetted against the sky. It is another thing entirely to feel it, to recognize in its fragile, resilient form a reflection of your own existence. This is where the walk becomes philosophical. In these quiet moments of deep looking, the boundary between the self and the world begins to blur. The steadfastness of the ancient rock formations instills a sense of patience. The relentless cycle of the tides teaches a lesson in acceptance, in letting go and trusting what returns. The seasonal journey of the trees, from bare winter branches to the full green of summer, becomes a mirror for one’s own seasons of loss and growth. This small harbour, this single stretch of road on a resettled island, becomes a microcosm of the entire, vast universe. One does not need to climb great mountains or traverse great deserts to feel a connection to the cosmos. The infinite is present in the particular, in the way a droplet of dew clings to a spider’s web, in the complex patterns of lichen on a stone, in the slow, majestic drift of the clouds. By grounding yourself in this one specific place, by learning its moods and its secrets, you find your own anchor in the immensity of it all. The solitude of the morning walk is not loneliness; it is a profound and comforting companionship with the world itself. It is here, in the quiet dialogue between your inner world and the outer landscape, that a true sense of belonging is forged. You are not just in this place, you are of this place. The journey each morning is therefore twofold. It is an outward exploration of the physical world, a charting of the subtle shifts in the land and sea. But it is also an inward pilgrimage, a journey into the quiet landscape of the soul. The peace you find in the harbour is the peace you carry within you. The wonder you see in the rising sun is the wonder that resides in your own heart. The world outside is a reflection of the world inside. So do not only step outside to see where you live but also step inside yourself to experience the world inside you.

@spittinchiclets Wonderful to see. Well-earned that was. Conn ‘Smythe runner-up’…

Marchand reunites with his family on the ice after winning his second Stanley Cup Truly what it’s all about 👏 🥹

@pedroshalott @RCKmak @puckempire #63…

@RCKmak @puckempire Who was that?

Connor McDavid has lost back-to-back Stanley Cup Finals.

"When you see the pressure Toronto faces... they just beat the pressure into this team." Brad Marchand says the Toronto fans and media put extra pressure on the team.

Brad Marchand prepping for his *13th* Game 7. Mind blowing. Can be first player in NHL history to go 5-0 against one team in them if #FlaPanthers beat #Leafs.

@donairdaddy @BR_OpenIce @yaboiTCfresh They cooked themselves when they made it about themselves… #63 knows that it’s about country, not himself. Proud of him.

@BR_OpenIce @yaboiTCfresh Bro cooked the tkachuks

“Sometimes when you shoot your mouth off in the media, it bites you.” 👀 Brad Marchand didn't hold back on his thoughts about the Tkachuk brothers comments throughout the week (via @yaboiTCfresh)

💯 🇨🇦

@PierrePoilievre 🙏

@MichaelVin1963 @FeloniousJTrump Well put & thank you very much. Sleep well.

Let's not make more of a hockey game than we should. Win or lose, America will wake up tomorrow still the greatest nation mankind has ever produced while Canada will remain an outpost of a long forgotten empire. #CANvsUSA #4nationsfaceoff #4Nations #USAvsCAN #Trump #MAGA

@TheDailyRoastHQ @FeloniousJTrump Or not.

@FeloniousJTrump Appreciate the patriotism, but let’s be real—waking up as ‘the greatest nation’ hits different after beating Canada at their own sport. No moral victories tonight, only W’s

@ballerology17 @NHLBruins So just don’t…

@NHLBruins Cheering for Tkachuk while rooting against Marchand is a strange feeling

Two beauties set to battle.
