I'm still gonna buy some Barger swag.

The Jays lose the World Series in one of the greatest baseball games ever played

Thank you Blue Jays! You united us with your positivity and your resilience just when we needed it most. Thank you! We'll be there for you next year! ⚾️⚾️⚾️

Always read Emmett for detailed analysis on Canadian court and constitutional issues.

Also the baseball game's going our way.

First World Series that has ever started off with back-to-back home runs!!!!!

CANADA UPDATE: 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 Avoid these right wing propaganda outlets masquerading as media

@lukaszukab.bsky.social truly deserves the Order of Canada, #MarySimon. He has served this country over the past few months with dedication and sacrifice. Thank you for your leadership and for challenging hyper-partisanship and the neglect of the common good.

Wow. Poilievre's leadership review suddenly looking more interesting: www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Holy crap.

The other word for objections to diversity, equity, and inclusion is "racism"

The most egregious part of this whole sad affair was that the PMO comms people were emailing us links to his twitter posts all weekend, as if carefully curated posts could somehow replace journalism.

Pierre Poilievre sure had himself a time this week after the White House visit, blaming Mark Carney for everything under the sun - including sunburn. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/opi...

"Someone who says I am against abortion but I am in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don't know if that's pro-life," the pontiff told journalists outside his residence in Castel Gandolfo.

Trump's approval rating is still nearly 40%. Think about how fucking ignorant and/or stupid 4 out of every 10 Americans must be.

A troubling development in Canadian political "journalism." Good on @lukelebrun.ca for delving into this.

No you're not. You are well past that point.

For what little it's worth, I just canceled our Disney+ subscription. And filled out the 'Other' box to explain why.

If you're an outspoken academic or public commentator, which country is safer to visit: China, or the US? For the first time in my life, I think it's China.

Next they'll be rewriting textbooks to say Japanese American internment camps were delightful summer resorts.

I think, to David's point, the discussion about media often ignores that there are often (good) reasons why (good) journalists avoid words like "lying" and "illegal." But I also think there's a conversation to be had about whether journalism needs to be clearer/better. bsky.app/profile/davi...

I know no one wants to talk about the pandemic anymore and we're only supposed to talk about bad news, but this seems noteworthy. globalnews.ca/news/1134908...

Good question. Canada should be there.

I spoke to James Bauder and his lawyer, a Fox News commentator, about his Hail Mary plan to apply for asylum in the United States Bauder is currently in the US hiding out in an RV park "in the middle of nowhere" booking American media appearances and meeting with MAGA influencers for lunch

Not very "Elbows up" Wonder what he got in return www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

Growing anti-immigration sentiment in Canada is almost entirely driven by political leaders. It is not a grassroots-up issue that leaders are begrudgingly responding to. Leaders are whipping up resentment against immigrants, out of nowhere

Love to see @shaiglalex.bsky.social wearing the Canadian flag during the @okcthunder.bsky.social victory parade. www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-sc...

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

Lu Dort wrapped in a Canadian flag with the Larry O’Brien is a vibe

Of course illegal war is on the table. It's not a threat to American democracy, because there is no longer such a thing. It's a fascist state, through and through.

Most Albertans, including healthcare workers, will now have to pay to get a COVID vaccine. Danielle Smith promised Albertans would never have to pay out of pocket for the medical treatment they need. She lied. Such a cruel, dangerous, anti-science, anti-public health decision. Make it make sense.

Angus: Canada can no longer view the United States as an ally. We know that Donald Trump doesn’t believe in liberal democracy—he doesn’t believe in the rule of law. Prime Minister Carney is not welcoming the leader of the free world to Canada. He is welcoming Vladimir Putin’s sock puppet.

Jailing their political opponents, turning the military on their own citizens. America is a fascist state.

This makes me so proud to be Canadian: www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

A lovely, kind, decent man.

A beautiful tribute to a beautiful man...

How cool is this?

Go Shai!! You make Canada proud.

NBA playoffs: Thunder steamroll Nuggets in Game 7 to make Western Conference finals

It's not just reflecting, her rhetoric has pushed more people over to the dangerous side. Radicalism between leaders and their base is mutually-reinforcing.

On the 80th anniversary of the Liberation of Europe, Trump says it is "unlikely" he will use force to take over Canada. We hear f--king crickets from Democrats. They may be willing to leave these matters to a toxic president. Not Canada. We come from a long line of fascist fighters. #elbowsup

It remains to be seen whether the new PM will retain these Senate reforms. I certainly hope so. I think the reformed Senate is more representative, more diverse, more effective, than the old partisan system ever was. And I hope that Mark Carney and those around him will be brave enough to keep it.

The humble, positive, and unifying concession and the victory speeches wrapped up a good day for democracy! Well-done Canada 🍁 🇨🇦

Crimes against humanity! I am sickened to my core! This must be stopped!
