Happy Canada Day our supes prog, totally-not-like-Trump federal government spent $4.5 billion to build an oil pipeline through unceded First Nations territory.

Trudeau’s first action as prime minister was to grant Saudi Arabia, the country currently starving Yemen and beheading Shia Muslims and minors, 15 bn in weapons ((: happy Canada day we’re so advanced 

Some other fun facts about the Great Progressive North that people like to forget:

- the last residential school closed in 1996. You were probably born before then

- approximately 4,000 Indigenous women and girls have gone missing since the 1970s. One stretch of the Trans Canadian Highway in B.C. has had so many Indigenous women disappear along it has been dubbed the Highway of Tears

- you thought mass incarceration of minorities in the U.S. was bad? Well wait until you hear Indigenous people make up 4% of Canada’s general population while making up 24% of the adult prison population. For Indigenous women, the incarceration rate is as high as 33%. Let me repeat that: one in three adult female prisoners in Canada is an Indigenous woman

- British Columbia, where I live, is almost entirely unceded First Nations territory. This means the vast majority of the land in this province was never given to white settlers by way of treaty or agreement from the Indigenous people of this land, but was simply occupied. To this day, Indigenous land defenders are being arrested by federal police for resisting the construction of ski resorts, salmon fisheries, oil pipelines, and other colonial institutions on their sacred land

- just this year Ontario elected a Canadian Tire (read: discount) version of Donald Trump named Doug Ford to be their Premier (governor)

- that universal healthcare system people love to talk about? Yeah, it’s actually pretty shitty compared to most other countries, with the biggest failure being the fact that there is no universal pharmacare plan for the country. This means life saving medications are still at the price-gouging whims of the extortionist cabals known as pharmaceutical companies

- a nasty and growing underbelly of reactionary misogyny and transphobia in Canadian journalism, universities and politics lionized by pieces of shit like Jordan Peterson that is now directly contributing to violent and terrorist actions like the April 23rd vehicle ramming attack in Toronto that killed 10 innocent people

By all means, enjoy your Canada memes and posts about all the quirky, harmless stuff in Canada. But also don’t ignore the fact that Canada is a deeply flawed nation that has gravely wronged and continues to wring it people - especially its Indigenous people - to this day.

This tweet by Luke Ottenhof is a big mood:

“hey quick reminder that canada day is a celebration of genocide and colonialism and none of your fav canadian radio bands playing today will say shit, but on july 4th they’re gonna tweet about how fucked america is“

like a year ago I saw a trailer for Some Fucking Romcom where I thought for the first thirty seconds the plot was “bride asks her gay brother and his boyfriend to get heterosexual dates for her wedding”

turns out the plot actually was “bride asks her two Commitmentphobic ™ brothers to get dates for her wedding” which, lame

I like my idea, where two gay dudes and two lesbians have to pretend to be straight for an entire weekend 

“I can definitely pretend to be straight,” Lesbian One says, “I successfully pretended to be a straight man for twenty years.”

“No,” her girlfriend Lesbian Two says, “no you definitely didn’t.”

Lesbian Two, who is butch, discovers an eyelash curler. “What is this, a torture device?”

Gay Guy One hooks up with the DJ, the wedding planner, three caterers and the best man. Shenanigans happen as he narrowly avoids getting caught by the bride.

Gay Guy Two, of course, finds himself falling hopelessly in love with the groom.

At the climax of the movie Gay Guy One falls out of the closet where he’s making out with his latest conquest, the florist. The bride screams, eyeliner smearing from tears, about how he’s RUINING HER WEDDING and she didn’t choose to have a brother who was QUEER and why didn’t he ever think about HER and why couldn’t he just pretend to be NORMAL for her SPECIAL DAY–

the groom is like “honey, I’m bi”

the bride says “no, you’re not! you’re marrying me! you’re straight now!”

and then the wedding is called off and Gay Guy Two and the groom live happily ever after. the after-credits scene is Lesbian Two suspiciously poking her eyelids with an eyelash curler

Please write this movie.

So um. I know you asked for a movie. but I wrote the thing. it’s a story. be warned, it’s suuuper long.

In this store, you go in, shop, and then walk out carrying the item’s you want to buy, and their facial recognition software figures out who you are and charges whatever items you are taking to your account. It’s incredible and creepy.

*Walks into the store with anti-facial recognition haircut/makeup and leaves like a bandit*
