I see you gorgeous trans people (and I don't see you for those of you who are stealthy++). I want you to be free to be yourselves and experience all the joy in the world.
You exist. You're you and everything you've ever wanted to be.
"Poilievre and Byrne are not inclined to listen to outside advice, sources said, relying instead on "a tight inner circle," which is composed, in part, of people who also work at Byrne's lobby firm outside the campaign period."
Here's a business idea: you and a few other people who are specialized in your field write things. Every day, or week, or month, I pay you to print these ideas and writings out on paper and they show up in my physical mailbox.
#cdnpoli You might be seeing some articles/screenshots floating around from True North and Juno News. It's like the Canadian Breitbart. Highly recommend avoiding.
Here it is in their own words: "Juno News is a new media company founded in 2025 by Candice Malcolm and Keean Bexte, and built upon the core Canadian principle of free speech and press freedom. These values were once the foundation of newsrooms across Canada, that is, until Justin Trudeau bribed every member of the legacy media with bailout money to help secure his reign as Prime Minister."
(Also run by Shopify's COO, so you know it's good.)
@aral@ati1 I broke the new corporate lawyers brain when I told him that IBM would separately package GPL-licensed code as a stand-alone thing when you buy our proprietary software.

Join us Friday Feb 21, noon EST, live in the comments or any time after.
@dave The fancy pants smoothie places use fresh bananas. It's the commercial purees that has the unripe and the rind that makes my mouth unhappy. I'm gonna try a ripe banana at some time to check.
#cdnpoli We got a new set of Canadian millionaire influencers! Featuring such great people as the CEO of Shopify (residential school mass graves denier and Trump supporter), and all these other CEOs. https://www.buildcanada.com
The Canadian Tech Bros truly believe this. It's the first paragraph of their latest memo. "In 1967 Canada introduced a points-based immigration system. It was the first genuinely meritocratic immigration system ever implemented. It didn’t care about a newcomer's ethnicity or religion but only looked at whether they would be an asset to Canada."
This is, of course, complete bullshit. Founder-itis "meritocracy" abound.
