@cseucharan I miss hearing you (and the others) on Canadaland. It's unfortunate what CL has become because I listened to and supported it for many years. I appreciate your thoughts about the latest series.

A year ago, I quit my job at Canadaland. After many attempts to communicate with leadership, both as a reporter and president of the union, I no longer believed we agreed on what was responsible journalistic practice. I’ve now listened to this series and remain concerned.

@duolingo @Gabykoppel @jk_rowling @duolingo cool bro, caving to the haters.

@Gabykoppel @jk_rowling We apologise for any offence caused and will remove this content from the app.

Shame on you @duolingo: learning German and I came across the sentence "Yes I like Harry Potter but the author is mean". How woke do you have to be to let #trans ideology infect a language lesson? @jk_rowling

@AirCanada I'm stuck in a lineup to get to customs and I have a connecting flight to YVR. I arrived from international destination. Any advice??

@JustinTrudeau @Dave_Eby @melaniejoly @cafreeland @MarkJCarney Please make it easier to buy Canadian with proper labeling regulations to inform me what is actually made in Canada 🍁🍁🍁

@BCFerrys Yes!! Yay - see you over there!

Is it possible to have a Toni Onley day on Bluesky?

Something that you have to understand about Russian interference is that it’s highly unlikely that they would actually try to manipulate votes or vote tallies. Why? Because they know they can achieve the same or even better outcomes by manipulating voters instead. 🧵

I had a tour with Liliia in Central Asia and she truly cared about sharing culture while improving lives of local people. Plus, Planeterra is associated with g Adventures, a reputable company. Pls donate if you can - Liliia fundraising page. classy.org/fundraiser/580…

@fordnation Bike lanes are traffic 😗

Bike lanes belong on secondary streets, not clogging traffic on main roads. It’s time to get you moving again.

As shared publicly on Facebook, the family of the Honourable Murray Sinclar has shared that he is unwell, that he is in serious and unstable condition. -- Asking for prayers from across NDN country, including allies, supporters, friend, and really any life he has touched, which is countless. He has served us as lawyer, judge, Senator and Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. A lifetime of bringing justice, truth and fairness for Indigenous peoples and those who have suffered in many capacities. From his rulings, to his day to day wisdom he shares with us on social media, to the power Truth and Reconciliation Commission, he has given over and over again. Let's pray hard in anyway that you do for him and his family, for this truly wondering human being - Justice, Judge, Senator - the honourable Murray Sinclair. #murraysinclair

Mother of Amanda Todd files lawsuit in L.A. against Meta, TikTok dlvr.it/TFCzm8

Exactly 12 years ago today, a Taliban gunman pointed his gun at my head and shot me for daring to speak up for girls’ right to go to school. I want to thank every person for your solidarity and support, from praying for my recovery to helping me in my work for girls’ access to education, both in my home country of Pakistan and around the world. Most years, I spend October 9th like any other day, with gratitude for having lived another year. But today, I am in New York to address the American Society of International Law (ASIL), a prestigious group of legal experts who have chosen to honour @MalalaFund and its work alongside Afghan activists fighting to protect the right to education for girls in Afghanistan. These women worked tirelessly before the fall of Kabul in 2021, and fearlessly since, to keep girls learning under the most impossible circumstances. It is humbling to stand alongside them and gratifying to see them receive the recognition they deserve. The Taliban continue to point literal and metaphoric weapons at girls and women in Afghanistan every day, from public beatings to ruthless edicts that ban them from learning, working and living freely. The brutality of the Taliban’s oppressive system against women is so extreme that Afghan activists and human rights defenders are calling it gender apartheid. Right now, Afghan women and girls need more than words of sympathy. I call on governments and influential institutions to leverage their power, and through international law, hold the Taliban accountable. I especially call on Muslim leaders and institutions to play a leading role in challenging the Taliban’s misuse of religion and culture. Just as people stood with me and my friends more than a decade ago, I hope people will stand in solidarity with Afghan girls and women now. ❤️ @Hmosadiq @zarqayaftali @deemahiram @metra_mehran @RahelaHSidiqi @SHalaimzai

@CathygPersonal @CityofBurnaby 💯

Crossing in S.Burnaby on a cycle route called ‘Lakes’. Traffic in am/ pm is v. busy and dangerous to cross. Asking city for years to add a cycle button/light. Now have green paint but no cycle button/ light. @CityofBurnaby are getting a light?

@BurnabyNOW_News Overall, what they've built is hodgepodge. I wish the Burnaby would consult design standards for safe and connected cycling infrastructure. I doubt this'll encourage anyone to start cycling. You know, to reduce car traffic, meet greenhouse gas reduction targets, etc.

Tell Burnaby what you think of bike lanes in Edmonds dlvr.it/TF5pjK

Youth Explorers and other police programs are not safe for children and we shouldn't fund them. It's dangerous to have police in schools, whether as "school safety officers" or to teach children about drugs. It's not just that police don't stop crime, they cause children harm.
