Brian pro Canada

@atrupar @OutdoorStroll I would love to see some of these political hacks step into a classroom and attempt to teach high school physics or lower elementary . Teachers are poorly paid and receive little guidance or support from various levels of government.

Bonamici to McMahon: "You're the Secretary of Education, and you're claiming that teaching is not a professional degree. Do you consider educators unprofessional?"

Vancouver Island, what a great place.

@DMCxnm6 @VaxxersAnti Perhaps, if they just took a moment to learn exactly what benefits the country receives from an accurate census they might, and I say might, stop with the stupidity.

@VaxxersAnti Grow the fuck up. Canadians have been doing the census for over 100 years. Get a grip. Where was your outrage 5 years ago. Keep being angry, as you will die before me.

"Ottawa doesn't need my personal information," says Dee, who 30 days earlier willingly handed over her ID to a stranger sitting in a lawn chair on the side of the road.

@emilyabrown2025 Municipal policing is not under federal control.

Auto theft spike in #burlon. Meanwhile the Liberal MP is going door to door asking for you to support her again. Have Burlington residents had enough of destructive Liberal policies that have made our community unsafe.

@weedboysquamish @GrandpaKen05 The government didn’t give him anything. The courts did. People seem to think the courts are controlled by the party in power. That’s not how our Supreme Court works.

@GrandpaKen05 I like how the conservatives get it both ways. They create a problem then blame the government for solving a problem they created

What is missing from this old story is the why he was paid out. It's because he was held in an American prison in Cuba for years without any due process and access to any lawyer. When requested to move him to Canada, Harper refused. Denying rights has consequences. That's the law

@JaredDapena @Acyn I told my wife if she buys me a motorcycle it would be great for her because it’s something I want. But, my wife isn’t stupid, so no motorcycle for me.

@Acyn "the better it is for the country" I can't even believe I'm hearing this bullshit.

Lindsey Graham says they are going introduce legislation that’s going to authorize 400 million dollars to be spent on building the ballroom: We pay for it by offsetting it with customs fees. The sooner we get the ballroom built, the better it is for the country.

@BitcoinSapiens @FairyPodcaster You’re suggesting democracy and scientific inquiry originated in the western world? I would suggest a lot of cultures around the world might disagree.

Bill Maher fires back at Billie Eilish and leftist “kids” who “don’t know what the f*ck” America is about. “I want to… say something about Western civilization. Kids, you don’t know what the f*ck it is.” “They think Western means white—and white means bad. First of all, everything bad that white people did, people of color did it, too. The Japanese before World War II and during World War II. And Genghis Khan, and I could go on and on.” “The left is very down on America, very down on the West. And it’s ironic because the West has also given us everything that makes your life good here. Don’t ask Billie Eilish or Chappell Roan about what the Western values are, because they’ll just say it’s about oppression.” “But it’s not about oppression. It’s about rule of law. It’s about respect for minorities. It’s about democracy. It’s about scientific inquiry. These are all good things that came from the Western world. I wish that schools would teach that again.”

@tonyver45 @archer_rs Canadians citizens, I believe, can’t have a title such as Sir. I suspect it might be the same in the US.

@archer_rs I don't believe that a person can receive a Knighthood (or Damehood) without being a citizen of the Commonwealth. They can receive honorary knight hoods but cannot receive the title "Sir" of "Dame". The Whitehouse has absolutely no concept of protocol.

In the same week that Trump suggests he should be awarded the Medal of Honour it emerges the Whitehouse has suggested to the UK Government King Charles awards Trump a Knighthood during the Royal visit to the US.

@MadelnCanada Halifax

If you could recommend a tourist coming to Canada this summer a city to visit, which city in Canada would it be? 🤔🇨🇦☀️

Canada’s Mark Carney ranked #2 on the TIME 100… right behind the Pope. 🇨🇦 But hey… whatever you do, don’t let Pierre Poilievre see this. Wouldn’t want him finding out what credibility looks like 🤭

@FlavioEvan @KevinMcCau94224 @PierrePoilievre @MarkJCarney Thank you for the clarification. I particularly like the fact you site your sources. Although, I’m sure that upsets many of your detractors.

Your claim that UK inflation stayed between 2% and 2.5% from 2010 to 2020 is mathematically false. @MarkJCarney served for exactly 81 months, from July 2013 to March 2020. The arithmetic mean of the ONS CPI rates during his exact tenure is 1.6%. Here is the exact ONS data grouping for his months in office: * 2013 (6mo): 2.3% * 2014: 1.5% * 2015: 0.0% * 2016: 0.7% * 2017: 2.7% * 2018: 2.5% * 2019: 1.8% * 2020 (3mo): 1.67% Calculate the weighted mean. The sum of those 81 monthly rates is 129.2. 129.2 / 81 = 1.595%, which rounds precisely to 1.6%. I prefer looking at the actual statistics. I don't usually block people for questioning, I'm a Canadian :) 🇨🇦

@PierrePoilievre Your screenshot features a commentary piece claiming @MarkJCarney printed too much money and left a mess resulting in 11.1% inflation. The timeline and hard data show a completely different sequence of events. Mark Carney left the BoE in March 2020. During his entire seven-year tenure, UK inflation averaged just 1.6%. The 11.1% peak hit a 41-year high in October 2022 under his successor. The Telegraph deliberately confuses correlation with causation by linking his previous monetary policies to this spike. Quantitative easing in the 2010s was a standard macroeconomic stabilization tool used by all central banks. The actual drivers of the 2022 inflation surge were the massive post-pandemic supply chain collapse and the global energy crisis following the invasion of Ukraine. Blaming a retired central banker for global supply shocks two and a half years after his departure requires ignoring basic linear time. Every major G7 nation faced these exact same inflationary pressures simultaneously. As for the claim that "Now it is Canada's turn", we can look at the actual data from his first year as PM. He secured over 20 new economic and defence partnerships. He officially launched Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) negotiations with India, accelerated Mercosur free trade negotiations with a target completion by autumn, and established a value-based recalibration with China. Canada is currently executing a $1 trillion investment plan focused on energy, AI, and critical minerals. I prefer looking at trade statistics and macroeconomic realities over imported political commentary. The math speaks for itself. Sources: 1. UK Office for National Statistics: Historical CPI Inflation Data 2013 to 2024. 2. Bank of England: Historical Monetary Policy Records. 3. Global Affairs Canada: CEPA Negotiations Launch November 2025. 4. Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada: Advancing Trade March 2026. You really went back to the MAGA style playbook for this one, didn't you?

@MelissaLMRogers First, the best deal with the US would still be a terrible deal. Second, most people didn’t vote to be subservient to the mess south of the border. That’s why the Conservatives lost. Third, he was a math teacher who also taught other courses, as most teachers do.

Canadians voted for a drama teacher with nice hair and it cost CANADA a lot, $1 TRILLION apparently. So to fix that, Canadians voted for the drama teachers economic advisor that promised he was the BEST guy to get a deal with the United States Canadians are gullible peoples 🇨🇦

@DimitrisSoudas @roulinski Absolutely. If an opposition party has a better or different plan , then please state it and let the voters decide. It’s very annoying when politicians throw out garbage and assume the electorate is too stupid to recognize the obvious.

I’m a Conservative… but I’m begging us to get serious. I’m begging on my knees for someone else to write his speeches. We can disagree with Mark Carney all day long on policy. Fair game. Necessary, even. But saying the guy has an “illusion of knowledge” is like saying Connor McDavid has an illusion of being able to skate. We don’t win by pretending competence is fake. We win by proving we can do better.

@Roxy_Hoebee Every member of the House of Commons is elected. MPs owe their allegiance to the people who voted them into office not to a particular party.

@DrNeilStone @sandchair 9 COVID, shingles and yearly flu shots. Absolutely no after effects.

Who here has had all their recommended vaccines with either no or minor side effects? 🤚

@sic_null @ibn_wittig Yes!

@ibn_wittig Forgetting 2001 is criminal.

For space lovers. Some interesting space movies you can see this weekend: 1. Apollo 11 2. Apollo 13 3. First man 4. Martian 5. Interstellar Any other recommendations?

@LakotaMan1 @sandchair I see your post, but I don’t see the number of posts like I did a few months ago.

So, myself and other left wing Twitter accounts are being censored by Elon Musk. Please, tell me, do you see this tweet? Can you see me?

@Garnet_2203 @jolie_oiseau77 There is a way; give everything to the corporations and the rich. Unfortunately, too many uninformed people think unchecked capitalism is a wonderful thing for taxpayers.

Rob Schneider lecturing Canada about government size is laughable. The U.S. government is one of the largest employers in America, and its military/defense apparatus alone employs millions. Now the U.S. is moving to automatically register young men for Selective Service. So spare Canadians the hypocrisy. Maybe fix your own oversized government before pretending Canada is the problem. Glass houses Rob.

A 16-year-old Latina girl from Chicago mailed her application to MIT. Her name was Sabrina González Pasterski.... On merit alone, she should have been impossible to ignore. At 14, she had built a working single-engine airplane in her family’s garage—documenting every step, from assembly to flight. She passed inspection and flew it herself. She came from public schools, a first-generation Cuban-American with no elite pipeline or connections. She understood the unspoken rule: girls like her had to be exceptional just to be considered. She was. MIT still waitlisted her. It hit hard. MIT had been the goal she built everything around. Being told “not yet” felt like being told “not you.” But then two MIT professors came across her airplane video. They watched a teenager design, build, and fly her own aircraft—and immediately recognized something rare. They pushed her case forward. MIT reconsidered. She got in. She didn’t forget that moment. Instead, she used it as fuel. At MIT, she didn’t just succeed—she redefined what success looked like. She became the first woman to win the prestigious Orloff Scholarship, graduated in just three years with a perfect 5.00 GPA, and became the first woman in two decades to graduate at the top of MIT Physics. Her research moved just as fast. Her first paper was accepted within 24 hours—something almost unheard of in theoretical physics. Opportunities followed. NASA showed interest. Jeff Bezos personally offered her a role at Blue Origin. She declined. She chose to pursue deeper questions instead, heading to Harvard for a PhD in physics. There, she focused on black holes, quantum gravity, and the structure of spacetime. At just 25, her work was cited by Stephen Hawking—a rare acknowledgment from one of the most respected minds in science. But her story isn’t just about intelligence. It’s about navigating a space where people like her are often underrepresented. She had seen the imbalance early—few girls in advanced physics, even fewer from her background. Instead of stepping back, she stepped forward. She kept her focus narrow and intentional. No social media presence, no distractions—just her work. She maintained a simple website, sharing research rather than chasing attention. When people compared her to Einstein, she rejected it, insisting she was still learning. After completing her PhD, again with top performance, she continued her work at leading research institutions. Today, she contributes to some of the most complex problems in physics, exploring how the universe fundamentally works. And as she does, she quietly expands what feels possible for others. Sabrina González Pasterski’s story isn’t just about brilliance. It’s about persistence, identity, and refusing to shrink to fit expectations. MIT hesitated. She gave them a second chance to see clearly. And then she went on to prove exactly who she was. © Women Stories #archaeohistories
