Post a picture of your favorite sign from today's protests. I will go first. I have no clue what city this was taken in, but it made me laugh. How about you? Show me your favorite sign.

Today marks World Elder Abuse Awareness Day! Every year, on June 15, we all join forces to remind the world that older people are rights holders, who deserve to live free from ageism, abuse and neglect. #WEAAD2025 #AgeWithAttitude

Ageism is a form of discrimination and a violation of human rights. It also opens the door for other forms of mistreatment and neglect. It's time to change how we think, feel and act about aging. #AgeWithAttitude #WEAAD2025

Congratulations to Mark Carney and his team, especially Cindy Termorshuizen for the success of the Kananaskis Summit in the most challenging of global circumstances and the shortest planning cycle possible. We are all proud to be serving the country and the world at this moment.

A busy day in Geneva at ECOSOC meetings on the current humanitarian crisis and “reset”. The world’s crisis, from Gaza to Myanmar, has more displaced people in camps than ever, and fewer resources to assist those in need. We have to join together in fighting back.

The whole thing's bullshit, in other words. Alberta's economy is not "under attack," the "status quo" does not "threaten" the province's "way of life," there is no "constitutional right to prosper" — though Alberta is prospering mightily, far more than any other province — and

Early Canada Day insight: Diversity is probably the most beautiful thing I have seen in Canada. We have different backgrounds and stories, yet somehow, we all belong, and we all understand each other. That’s the magic. 🇨🇦
