ALBERTAN I identify as a post menopausal woman. My pronouns are try/me. The CBC should be paying us for allowing them to pollute the airwaves.

Being a woman isn't an essence, it's a material, provable fact. I'm not a female human being because society or history made me one, or because I picked the 'woman' category on some metaphysical spreadsheet. I'm a woman because I was born with the equipment to produce large gametes. My biology isn't my destiny unless I'm unfortunate enough to live in a society like Afghanistan where my femaleness is punished from birth. My biology does, however, mean I am likely to have experiences no man ever will. If I'd been raised by robots in outer space who had no understanding of social categories or gendered norms I'd still provably be a woman, not a man. I'd certainly suffer some deprivation from not associating with other humans, but on the upside, I'd never have to listen to pseudo-intellectual drivel like this.

Oh and Team Canada still hasn't attracted a single penny into Canada.

I wonder if anyone thought of taking selfies at the polls before Elections Canada endorsed it. 'Share your best shot and tag us'. A stern warning to not take pictures of your ballot, aka, please take pictures of your ballot and tag us.

Planning on taking a selfie at the polls? Remember: You can’t take photos of your ballot or behind the privacy screen. 🛑 But you can take a selfie outside the polling place. ☂️ Share your best shot and tag us!

@MarcNixon24 You've ruined the hopes of Canadians. Lie after lie, words with no meaning, language with no value. How you haven't been quarantined for the contagious disease you've spread through stupid Canadians should be a health risk.

Toronto’s at 9% unemployment. Windsor–Sarnia 9.6% That means Canada’s largest city and one of its industrial hubs is amongst the worst unemployment in Canada. We’re still being told the economy is “resilient.”

@WeAreCanProud Carney doesn't know what the act even says. When he hears the word act, he cues his video guy.

#REPORT: Congressional Republicans are demanding that the Carney Liberals REVOKE the Online Streaming Act, which manipulates your social media algorithms to show government-approved content, describing it as a "major threat to our cross-border digital trade relationship."

Timmy might not be able to write useless grant proposals in Alberta, either. We gave him a couple of mill to retweet articles. Great work, if you can steal it.

@TorontoStar Carney couldn't find Gaza on a map. Much like how he can't find Canada on a map. He is a fraud to the nth degree. I truly believe he's been cheating and grifting his way through his entire life.

The invisible anonymous Elections Canada social media gender studies PHD fruit cakes are reminding people how to take selfies at the polling places, and tag them. It's really just a comedy act.

Muslim American Society Islamic Center in Philadelphia: "We will chop off their heads, liberate Al-Aqsa Mosque, and lead the army of Allah, fulfilling His promise, and we will subject them to eternal torture. The blood of martyrs protects us."
