Sad to see news orgs and the UK State now using “biological sex” - a term coined by the Religious Right Transgender Critical movement, with no standing whatsoever in medicine, because there is no one all-encompassing definition of what someone’s sex is. Sex is determined by multiple variables in all kinds of combinations.

@dieworkwear @pepsi peace, love, and understanding
also, Pepsi and pizza is a pairing; combos include a side.

@JakeLandauTO And why bother to pretend it’s an issue for the federal government when they only have four provinces in favour? Seven is the minimum for a constitutional amendment. They’re asking for Canada to sidestep its constitutional duty, which would seem like a bad precedent to set.
English
No, not really. Provinces love crowing on about their "exclusive jurisdictions". This is an exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal government. If they want to renegotiate the balance of powers, what do they propose to give up in exchange?

It’s crazy that provinces currently play no formal role in selecting judges appointed serve in courts over their jurisdiction.

@HenriAGS @brianlilley That particular group of four premiers may someday be assigned a memorable group name in history texts for the eventual consequences of their actions upon Canadian society, but I have my doubts as to whether it will be a complimentary one.
English
@brianlilley It's called "federalism", Lilley
But if this is ok, then it's ok for the government to meddle in provincial purview, right? Right? Right!?

Premiers Doug Ford, François Legault, Scott Moe and Danielle Smith have sent a joint letter to PM Mark Carney calling for provinces to have a formal, meaningful role in appointing judges to Canada’s top courts. #onpoli #cdnpoli

@TVietor08 Trump: amazing prize! What’s that ticking sound?
Iran: Don’t worry about it [exits on tiptoes]
English
Anyone know wtf this is this about?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar
Trump on Iranian leaders: "They're gonna make a deal. They did something yesterday that was amazing actually. They gave us a present, and the present arrived today. It was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money. I'm not gonna tell you what that present is but it was very significant prize."

@mikethenavyguy The Order of Canada is no more monarchist than the flag. Both were created in Canada by Canadians in the 1960s to assert our nationhood. If anything, the Order is more overtly egalitarian, since it replaced British honours, including Knight/Dame, but does not confer any titles.
English
Dude, it's the Order of Canada pin. Conservatives used to care about history and tradition. Like WTF?

@LissBliss44 @TinyWriterLaura We say Gen Zed in Canada as well.
(Also, it was Canadian Doug Coupland who started this sequence by naming Generation X).
English
everyone in the UK says gen-zee even if they usually use zed at the end of the alphabet, the same way we also say Jay-Z and Dragon Ball Z
this is the stupidest attempt at faux-outrage i’ve seen all year
Tom Harwood@tomhfh
Why is SNL ‘UK’ calling Gen Z ‘Gen Zee’?

Does the 45+ "what is sore today" whack-a-mole end or do people just give up?

This is characteristically vile and predictably deranged, but the important thing to remember is that Trump never said anything remotely so negative or definitive about the death of his long-time best friend Jeffrey Epstein. And he wishes Ghislaine Maxwell well. Think about that.

@mrmikeMTL I’ve done it for free several times, but I can’t stay up for that long anymore. Every Steve Earle album is infinitely repeatable.

Does… Trump know that Ireland is independent of England?

@acoyne That’s (partly, sort of) what BC said about Confederation.

Look, if it could cut out the seven-hour flying time I say we should consider it.

France’s foreign minister Jean-Noël Barrot has floated the idea that Canada could one day join the European Union, using the transatlantic ally as a striking example of the bloc’s global appeal. politico.eu/article/canada…

Doug Ford says he's getting rid of transparency and accountability because of Communist China?

NEW - Premier Ford defended his government’s impending changes that will prevent he & his ministers from being subject to freedom of information requests by saying, “We’ve got to protect ourselves against the Communist Chinese that are infiltrating our country”

This is dangerous, immoral, and illegal - the third government he's tried to overthrow in the first three months of this year. We are in a worst case scenario of authoritarianism.

Trump: "I do believe I'll be having the honor of taking Cuba. That's a big honor. Taking Cuba in some form. I think I can do anything I want with it, if you want to know the truth."

@mrmikeMTL Probably Margaret Atwood, but could be Matthew Perry, Alanis Morissette, Norm MacDonald, Dan Akroyd, Bruce Cockburn, Paul Anka, Lorne Greene, Justin Trudeau, or King Clancy.

@atrupar There are many, many things that you need in order to adopt a kid that are not required for voting; presenting your ID is probably among the very least of them.

@JoshMatlow @JulieSDixon Les Nessman doing the crisis communications for the Premier:
“I told you there was a problem with this plan…it doesn’t cover tornadoes, it’s for what to do when the Russians attack…or Chinese”
English
Doug Ford is now falsely suggesting that he needs to exempt his government, office and cell phone from Freedom of Information requests by journalists because, in his words, “We’ve got to protect ourselves against the Communist Chinese that are infiltrating our country”. What a load of crap.
Democracy typically doesn’t turn into autocracy overnight. It just declines, as the daylight of transparency and accountability is blocked out, and we’re left with nothing but darkness.
We can’t let Ford get away with this.
