@garonnevik Same!! I’m honestly just done talking about politics with ppl because I’m always on the “other side”.

Politically homeless is an option. It's not an option that will get you political power. It might mean that you will be persecuted from all sides for what you know to be true. It might mean you'll be cast into the least of these. It might mean you'll have to do the work of one on one conversations, serving your neighbor without your government's help, and opening up your Bible, submitting to God's word no matter the outcome--come what may. It's ok. Because as a Christian, this world is not is not our home and death is not the end. The end is sure, so we don't have to compromise the means to get it.

@JasminLaine_ I voted for the party who balanced budgets - like I had to (usually PC). Don’t waste my $$. After Trudeau threw everyone like me under the bus during lockdowns (valid mask exemption due to trauma), I will never vote liberal again. Ever.

The algorithm on X has been pushing my content to my political opposites… rather than be annoyed by this, I’d like to use this as a learning opportunity. 🇨🇦 I genuinely want to have an open discussion on this. No insults, no “because the other guy!!”. Really think about your answer, and I discourage anyone from responding with cruelty to all good faith and honest answers. Why are you proud to be a liberal or conservative? What is it about the party that truly aligns with your lived experience and offers you hope? We share this earth together, and I’d like to get to know you better so I can better understand where you are coming from ⬇️

@maddierune This was the conclusion we reached. It’s not just cost of daycare—second vehicle, professional wardrobe, food costs increased bec you’re buying prepared/precooked, etc. etc. Was no point in me working outside the home esp when kiddos were young.

Serious question: If daycare eats your entire paycheck, and your spouse already covers the bills… what’s the point of working? Just so someone else can raise your kids while you break even? Your children are safer, happier, and better off with you. Why not be a one income household? Make it make sense.

@JonFlynnREstats I know Thunder Bay is a bit backwater, but the avg days to sell here is 14 with prices for single family homes up 11% from last year. Why is this city so different?

Days to Sell an avg. res. property in June... Toronto 26 Halton 27 Peel 27 KW 28 York 28 Kingston 29 Ottawa 29 Hamilton 31 Edmonton 31 London 32 Barrie 32 Calgary 33 Vancouver 34 Montreal 38 Muskoka 38 Saskatchewan 39 Victoria 39 Niagara 41

@Martyupnorth_2 I’ve wondered if Thunder Bay would be. Pinch point for east-west trucking and travel at one single bridge in Nipigon, ON. The Port here is a major link in Western Canada supply chain - grain, potash. Take TBay and you cut the country in half.

Are there any strategic targets in Canada?

@JonSThompson Cleaned two gutters on my way to the election station - sidewalks were flooded.

There’s a flood warning in Thunder Bay on Election Day 2025. The conservation authority says the ground is still frozen and it’s not absorbing this downpour of rain we’re getting.

@paolini Ya. Was using google docs to co-write a trilogy. Organized folders into chapters. Several random files just went missing one day. Never got them back. 🫤 Lesson learned.

Never, EVER use cloud services for writing anything important.

@KristenLambTX I’ve never been more glad you forced me to learn and join X now that I’m banned from FB for using a banned word - I didn’t know was banned 🫤

@HotHolyHumorous @facebook What’s extra frustrating is I can’t create a new profile. Tried with a new email on a device I’ve never used Facebook on - that one got taken down for “account integrity” issues. 🙄 Thank goodness for email lists.

@LisaHallWilson @facebook What the—? I'm so sorry. I still recall losing a 1600+ community on Facebook with zero responses to numerous appeals.

@AreOhEssEyeEe I’ve used Brule Creek flour in NW Ontario.

I've searched far & wide for flours that aren't enriched & sprayed with poison. 1847 Stone Milling operates out of Fergus Ontario, and based on their site, it looks like they ship across Canada and the US. I ordered mine on Sunday night & it just came to my door!

@petermansbridge @CanadaTalks167 Littlest Hobo, Mr. Dressup, Today’s Special, The Raccoons, Friendly Giant were formative. Vignettes like Log Drivers Waltz. Watched Tommy Hunter from the dinner table at the farm with my grandfather. Nothing Too Good For A Cowboy - cancelled too soon.

What Canadian TV show, past or present, has had the greatest impact on you as a Canadian? Your answers this week tell us a lot about ourselves and our television industry. Listen at noon EST on @CanadaTalks167, and wherever you get your podcasts.

@YakkStack Voices like yours kept me going. Mask exemption ignored so was in forced isolation for 2+yrs. Did my own research. Only holdout in my family. Local MOH explained publicly abt weaponizing behavioural psych Feb2020 to gain compliance. Info was there for anyone listening.

Yes. I am, an Anti-Vaxxer - by their definition. I've wanted to be wrong all along. I've never tested for COVID and haven't taken any of the jabs...and after 4 years of COVID, 3 years of Vaccinations, 2 years of Paxlovid...I was right about ALL OF IT! If you're my peeps, let me know...we should probably be connected!

@ronmortgageguy @HanifBayat Now look at Thunder Bay 😳

We Are Seeing BIG Property Tax Increases Right Across Canada But Did Some Canadian Cities Have VERY Low Property Tax Rates? Comparisons show Metro Vancouver & Toronto Residential Taxes are very low compared to Montreal & other cities Great stuff from @HanifBayat & his team

@JesterWootton A writer and a ‘76 baby. Didn’t grow up in the church, came to faith as a late teen. How about something like - you saw damage being done and did your best to fix it - here’s how we picked up the torch — and there’s still more work to do.

@KristenLambTX @MAGAMichelleS69 Now I need to read these books for myself (before we can’t get them anymore in Canada).

It has less to do with women and more to do with a push to deconstruct our reality. We women are merely one out of many pillars the globalist elites want to dismantle. If there are no absolutes, then there is no real "right and wrong." This dismantling is nothing new in history---as evidenced in literature---and always begins with coopting the language and refashioning how people THINK. If you read any of the top dystopian novels ("Brave New World," "1984," "Fahrenheit 451") reality is whatever the STATE deems is real. In all of these works, we see the same exact pattern of today. In order to erect a NEW WORLD ORDER, the State must deconstruct the OLD WORLD ORDER. "Brave New World" rewrote history, reconstructed how the people even measured TIME (B.F. Before Ford and A.F. After Ford). The State genetically engineered citizens to not only accept their station but to actively reject trying to better their station. ***What is the logical outcome of making entire generations sterile via gender transition therapy? And if those who aren't sterile are repulsed at the idea of having children, what then? If no one procreates, we get genetically engineered lab babies. But back to language... In "1984" there is the infamous doublespeak and doublethink. Love is Hate, War is Peace, Truth is Lie, etc. If one mentions "Fahrenheit 451," most people (if they even know the work) will say it's about burning books. Yes and no. Again, we see doublespeak/doublethink. Firemen are no longer heroes who put out fires and save citizens from disaster. They are---AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN---guardians of the State, there to root out and destroy books that threaten the State (that might inspire people think critically). ***Even the history books reflect this is how being a fireman has "always been." Hmm, can we think of how movies are now being altered to reflect something vastly different? Netflix? Anyway, in "Fahrenheit 451" not ALL books are bad, only books that make people question what the State tells them. Citizens can read all the smut and junk they like, but Shakespeare, Socrates, the Bible? NOPE. Also, the populace (as in "Brave New World") are silly, vapid, and beholden to endless hedonism, entertainment, self-indulgence...all while their government launches forever wars unnoticed and unencumbered in the background. In "1984" alliances change daily. The narrative constantly shifts b/c that is how the State gaslights the people. The people never know what is really going on, who they are supposed to support or hate. For instance, how long ago was the MeToo movement? Women only had to say they felt uncomfortable for that to equate to sexual assault in many people's minds. Universities took certain books off reading lists (E.g. "Lolita") because it might "trigger" women who'd been abused or raped. Fast forward what, FOUR YEARS? And the same people who launched the MeToo movement are telling the same women who were victims of assault/rape, etc. that---if they don't accept/welcome a grown man in a bathroom with no cameras and one exit---they are then NAZIS. Females somehow no longer have any right to be fearful in a situation where any reasonable person might be afraid. In fact, to be afraid of a naked man (who's twice her size) in the gym showers makes the woman (former victim now oppressor) a transphobe-Nazi-fascist. See? Doublespeak/doublethink. So you see, it really isn't JUST about women. This is a multi-front assault that demands vigilance. We no longer have the luxury of not paying attention.

Why do democrats hate woman? And why are they trying to wipe us out of existence?

@JonSThompson Great summary thread.

The expert panel does find some progress has been made since the retirement of police chief Sylvie Hauth, who was facing three charges under the Police Services Act at the time. Attributed to interim police chief Dan Taddeo & Ontario-appointed administrator Malcom Mercer.

🧵 Expert Panel analyzing Thunder Bay Police Services Board has released a 201-page final report. It finds the former police chief misled the board, the board failed to govern or implement recommendations. Officers warn a Broken Trust 2.0 report could come if change doesn't.

@ronmortgageguy We just bought in TBay - moving from London - for work. Prices never really dropped up north. Inventory still low, so multiple offers on almost every decent house.

Fact: In Most Canadian Regions Home Prices Are No Longer Falling It's just the truth even if people hate to hear it In many Regions: GVA, Southwest Ontario and GTA house prices have leveled off and in a some specific locations there have been small upticks Bad News? 2/

@MikePMoffatt Interested to see if the north benefits from this population shift at all (Sudbury, SSM, Thunder Bay)

@ZerotheSkepic @TorontoStar But… there are already laws that - if violated - will get you arrested. I don’t see your point.

@LisaHallWilson @TorontoStar Because there is a law arrests can be made. That’s the point.

An OPP officer posing as a survivalist stockpiling weapons testified that he bought a suitcase full of hand grenades for $110,000 in a mall parking lot in Ancaster, a court has heard. trib.al/L3CGWPH
