The Universal Ostrich saga has come to a close, with CFIA culling the herd. There are a lot of layers to this scenario, and science has taken a backseat to politics, anti-government sentiment and grift. Some final thoughts.... wormsandgermsblog.com/2025/1…

Just want to clarify before I say it 1 million times over the next week. How do you correctly pronounce Toronto? From my understand it’s “Ter-on-no”
It will never be the same
staggering how much damage has been done to the us-canada relationship in trump’s first year.

I really appreciate you taking time away from your stakeout at Justin Trudeau's house to come and discuss adult things today. Can I offer you some sparkling water, or perhaps an apple to chew loudly?
Pierre Poilievre’s Twitter account still holds the title as the number 1 Canadian spreader of misinformation and conspiracy theories. How sad is that?
“As reported by PressProgress, Canada Proud has close ties to Pierre Poilievre and a record of presenting false and misleading partisan content. A CBC report revealed that Poilievre had hired the team behind Canada Proud to boost his messages online.” cultmtl.com/2025/10/observat…
🚨Poilievre should fire himself: CSIS says India meddled in his '22 leadership win w/ illicit fundraising. He paid $50K whistleblower to sink rival Brown, proven innocent. 3x sanctioned by Elections Canada for illegal corp bribes & robocalls. All while preaching anti-corruption!

Pope Leo: “The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty.”
A friend said to me today: “Canadian Conservatives, in one generation, have somehow gone from “Free Trade and Free Mandela” to “Free the Ostriches!”

When we got married 50 years ago, we had no idea how our lives would unfold. But one thing I knew for certain then, and still know now, is that I wanted to navigate the ups and downs and in-betweens with you. Happy anniversary, dear Bill.

While Amelia Jenks Bloomer did not invent the revolutionary garment, her role was far more significant than mere popularization. As the editor and publisher of the first American newspaper for women, The Lily, she possessed a powerful platform. It was through its pages that she tirelessly championed the new style, publishing illustrations and detailed instructions on how to make the outfit. The costume itself was a practical ensemble of a short skirt worn over loose, Turkish-style trousers gathered at the ankle. Its appeal was rooted in the burgeoning dress reform movement, which argued that the heavy, bone-crushing corsets and voluminous skirts of the era were not only unhealthy but dangerously restrictive, preventing women from engaging in physical activity and even breathing comfortably. The style, quickly dubbed the "Bloomer costume" after its most famous advocate, became a national sensation. However, the backlash was immediate and vicious. For every woman who saw it as a symbol of liberation, many in the public saw it as a monstrous subversion of gender roles. Bloomer and her followers were harassed in the streets, caricatured in newspapers, and denounced from pulpits. The clothing was a lightning rod, and the criticism was often intensely personal. This relentless public ridicule created a difficult strategic dilemma for the women's rights movement. Leaders like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, who had initially adopted the bloomer, realized that the controversy over their clothing was distracting from their more important message of suffrage and legal reform. By 1859, Bloomer herself made the difficult decision to return to traditional dress. This was not a surrender of her principles, but a pragmatic tactical retreat. She understood that the fight for women's rights could not be won if its messengers were constantly mocked for their appearance. She chose to prioritize the message over the symbol. However, her commitment to the cause never wavered. She remained a vital and active force in the suffrage movement for the rest of her life, proving that her advocacy was always about far more than fashion. © Women In World History #drthehistories

ARE YOU F**KING JOKING!??? Canterbury Cathedral, one of the holiest places and most beautiful buildings in the country has been graffitied But what's worse. THE CHURCH APPROVED IT. They say they 'worked with marginalised communities' to do this. Horrific. Shame on you.
Is it cake? Or is it an actual dress? The mid #1770s bringing confection to fashion with candy pinks, powder blues and minty greens. It even has little net bells tinkling around the hem @LACMA #fashionhistory
