Shut down Pornhub! They have no reasonable safeguards to end child abuse, rape and violence. @MarkJCarney @ElizabethMay @avilewis @yfblanchet @PierrePoilievre
Criminal justice must be served. These e-mails between the CEO/Owner of P*rnhub/MindGeek and his executive team were uncovered in lawsuit discovery and made available to the public in redacted form.
This is the CEO/Owner discussing the fact that:
1. The official P*rnhub policy was to only review a video if it had over 15 user flags, including for criminal content.
2. There was a backlog of 706,000 flagged videos.
3. They had ONE person working only 5 days a week to review flagged videos.
This was not an accident, it was a system the CEO called “good and reasonable.”
Rape, trafficking and child abuse victims trying to take down criminal videos would regularly be ignored and stonewalled as their abuse continued to generate profit.
This is a small sample of the mountains of evidence of the complicity of PH and its owners in the abuse of countless victims.
The company and its owners should face full, proper, criminal prosecution to vindicate victims and deter future abusers.
Can we please cancel Elon Musk’s contracts with Canada? We know his links to the US president. His tech resulted in compromised Ukraine drones. We have the ability to avoid such threats by building Canadian infrastructure and tech here for and by the people who actually live here. We should be investing in our own national security. We should also make sure to track our own tech so it doesn’t enable wars or organized criminals to create further risks. @MarkJCarney @ElizabethMay @avilewis @yfblanchet @PierrePoilievre @DavidMcGuinty @DLeBlancNB @CDS_Canada_CEMD @ChiefsofOntario @fordnation @MaritStiles @MikeSchreiner @JohnFraserOS @FP_Champagne @AFN_Updates @ChiefsofOntario
Amazing turnout for the all the No Kings rallies in the US. It’s a call out to vote and a time to speak up against the injustices by the current administration. It is a demand for justice and accountability and an act to defend democracy.

I watched this episode of the Fifth Estate in Canada and it was shocking to see such selfishness and stupidity defunding vital public services that we all use. Please stop hemorrhaging the people’s tax base. We need to modernize tax laws and close these horrible schemes that hurt everyone. Stop the shameful greed and build back better. @MarkJCarney @AFN_Updates @ChiefsofOntario @FP_Champagne @FairTaxCanada @TaxJusticeNet @OSFICanada @Interpol @UNDPGAIN @OCCRP @UNODC
Appently CRA has not been verifying line 22 (income tax deducted) on the T4A, and conspiracy theorists have been exploiting that to steal hundreds of millions of dollars from taxpayers.
Sort descending by refund size, audit the largest. FTFY.

Canadians for Tax Fairness has excellent recommendations to update tax laws and policies. Sign the petitions below to advance this to end the massive tax evasion happening. For Canada and First Nations to move forward, please agree on making human rights, work place safety and labour laws standardized coast to coast without exception.
If you wish to stop discrimination stop discriminating in Canada and in First Nations communities. Equity has to works both ways to work. taxfairness.ca/en/act/take-a…
Happy Persons Day in Ontario! It celebrates the day women were finally deemed “Persons” in Canada.
Ontario Liberal MPP Mary-Margaret McMahon (MPP for Beaches—East York) initiated it and it was co-sponsored by

Today is Persons Day. On this day in 1929, Canada's highest court of appeal finally ruled that women are "persons" under the law.
I'm incredibly proud that Deputy Leader Aislinn Clancy co-sponsored the bill that made this day official in Ontario.
In 2026, there's more work to be done, but it's important to celebrate the women whose path we follow.
In the Persons Case of 1927, Murphy, McClung, Parlby, McKinney and Edward questioned the Supreme Court of Canadaregarding women not being included in the word 'person' according to the B.N.A. Act. They lost the case in Canada so they went to London, to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council of Great Britain, this being the highest level of court appeal possible at the time. On October 18, 1929, the Lord Chancellor of Great Britain, Lord Sankey, announced that the court's decision was that the word 'person' would include women. It was a landmark decision in the history of gender equality.
I was about to take a nap when the word Sandvine came to head. @jebrittan2 they operated in Waterloo, headquarters of the BlackBerry and UW, and Opentech who used Magellan software. It was spyware linked to Egypt and other countries.

I live in Waterloo ON. When I do searches I do remember the original URLs and sources I’ve used. Lately when I use Chrome to reference older news articles it is bound to a different media publisher under the same headline or the URL is altered. I see it when I cut and paste links. That is when I choose to use other browsers that block this spyware, or I simply use the URL linked to my original posting done years back. This is a current issue I am dealing with while browsing in Waterloo.
In 2026, being a world leader may be hazardous to your health. @StuartSyvret @jebrittan2 @andrewlownie @JoannaColes
2026 is turning out to be quite a year regarding the health of world leaders.
King Charles, the Pope and Netanyahu all had cancer. Former Qatar Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani recently died. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, died. Harald V, King of Norway, died.
Nazi War Criminals in Canada: The Historical and Policy Setting from the 1940s to the Present, by Alti Rodal is now declassified and speaks to the CIA’s roll in smuggling Nazis into Canada. If your browser cannot view the PDF download it. It is a 618 page report.

Columbus didn’t discover America because we were the people all here before all that and we are the survivors of the genocide which went from Acadia to Standing Rock with Jeffrey Amherst and the people who planned it at Freemason Lodge 54 in Digby NS. We were caught in foreign conflicts not of our making. Stuck in both sides.
Here I am with the survivors of it including Pipekeeper Terrell Ironshell of Oglala Lakota. A Cherokee gifted him a Sacred Pipe from Orville Lookinghorse. Mohawk Seedkeeper Terrylynn Brandt of the line of Joseph Brandt and Chief Myeengun Henry of Chippwas of the Thames. I'm in my shawl hanging out with the dog and I am Acadian of Membertou’s line. We remember. We all had to figure out how to survive as we fought each other and saved each other in wars not of our making. The Blood tribes, the Mohawks fought with the British but they had no choice but we did what we could to simply survive. We all buried the hatchet and the great peace was formed.
We all co-exist with Americans and the Canadians and German and Jewish immigrants today. We’re all still here. Columbus didn’t create the foundation of America. We did collectively, centuries before he existed. We’re all just people. It’s time we advance as one and let the ghosts of the past rest in peace.
People around the world are united in love and demanding changes. In my community of Waterloo Region in Canada, 5000 people demanded climate action, over 2,000 marched for Truth & Reconcilliation demanding an end to systemic abuses of Indigenous people and over 20,000 marched for Black Lives Matter. We want to end the racism, violence and sexual abuse to advance social justice.
We are all feeling it.
