Proud to have voted 'yes' on this motion.

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

Breaking: the DOGE deposition videos have been taken off YouTube. On Friday the government asked a judge to intervene, said the videos could cause reputational damage, death threats. Judge agreed, ordered them removed: www.404media.co/doge-deposit...

I often love his takes, but I have a hard time finding any fault in this from Fawcett. Would be nice if Wells cared more about informing the public than having access, but I guess that's how you end up getting access 🤷🏻

Poilievre said this in his recent interview with Paul Wells, and received *zero* pushback. It sure would be nice if the folks interviewing him had some modicum of interest (and expertise) in the details around energy markets and policy. (You'll note Poilievre is *still* blaming Canada here)

Here’s my (frighteningly vulnerable!!) follow up on my reporting that exposed a white nationalist active club. On the professional and personal costs of this work:

Justin Brake reports from Vancouver, where press freedom in Canada is having its day in court in Bracken/Narwhal v. RCMP. “The man, whose tie is fastened to his shirt with a small golden pin in the shape of handcuffs, sits down two rows directly in front of me…” ricochet.media/media/the-rc...

The fact that a shipping container halfway around the world is somehow the best way to transport food to a Toronto food bank just feels so...stupid. How is that acceptable to us?

Documentarian Louis Theroux talked to @davidgilbert.bsky.social about his new Netflix manosphere doc and what a grift the whole thing is. I found this exchange—about why being a good person is bad for business—illuminating, if not surprising: www.wired.com/story/louis-...

Putting out the bat signal for @youcaughtscott.com to do a North State ep on the media's coverage of the FN land agreements and court decisions over the past couple of years. I feel like I'm going to scream if I read one more headline that discusses "private property."

"AI will let us turn PhDs from 4 year degrees into 6 month degrees!" Literally shitting on the part that makes it intellectual development. It requires things like *reading* for yourself and *writing* for yourself. Those aren't chores, they're part of skills acquisition and critical development.

❗On Friday evening, the CAJ learned that journalist Rachel Gilmore had recently been approached in public by individuals linked to, or implicated in, an investigation she had written, and was published by The Tyee that focused on white nationalists. https://loom.ly/z22FRzg

Glad at these moments I ride my bike everywhere. Yikes.

March 8, 2026 - Tehran at sunrise today. But the sun is hidden behind a sky filled with smoke. After a night of intensive strikes on oil facilities, thick black clouds now hang over the city, turning morning into something that feels like night.

Scathing from @davide.readthemaple.com. This is the good stuff.

Western countries backing what the US and Israel are doing in Iran aren’t just going to lose legitimacy in the eyes of their domestic publics, but are shredding any notion a new alliance of middle powers or whatever can defend any semblance of an international order.

The Tyee is proud to have published this important investigation by @rachelgilmore.bsky.social. We condemn this egregious harassment of a journalist for doing her job, and have offered support as she deals with this disturbing situation.

This is what serious people are saying Canada should acquiesce to and tacitly support. It's honestly gross.

I have all the respect in the world for the work Gilmore does. I look forward to her continuing to force racist man babies to eat shit.

Imagine being half as selfish and contemptuous as Danielle Smith. Sounds horrible.

Tonight, two of the white nationalists I reported on in this piece showed up to attempt to intimidate me on a private night out at a small music venue. I’ll have more to say tomorrow. I’m safe. They also didn’t pay cover 🖕

There is absolutely no reason Canada should be anywhere near the atrocities taking place in West Asia, let alone participating in them. His daily veneration to the almighty GDP looks grosser and more morally bankrupt by the day.

Public Service Announcement: When the price of gasoline jumps this week, remember it was refined from oil (mostly Canadian) produced weeks ago, only 2% of which comes from the Middle East. It's a policy choice, not 'market forces', that explains why you'll pay more (and oil profits will soar). /2

As the price of oil & gas explodes, I recently read about how the price impact is almost entirely speculative, as the *supply* of oil and gas hardly budges, particularly in places like Canada. It's all just straight up profits for the gas companies. Remember that as you fill up the tank this week.

Smash cut to the ICE agents staked out at daycares and elementary schools across the US.

Are we done glazing Carney? He just came out…as a banker Shocking he doesn’t give a shit about human beings: 1. Canada will always support American imperialist regimes 2. Carney cheered on U.S. aggression in 🇻🇪 3. 🇨🇦 and 🇺🇸 national security so intertwined they’re superimposed

The fact that Polymarket/Kalshi/any other of these bullshit grift casinos haven't been regulated into oblivion is an abject failure of leadership. This is monstrous.

From our team in the Middle East: As Israeli airstrikes hit Tehran this morning, millions of Iranians received mysterious push notifications saying that “help is on the way”, promising amnesty if they surrender. wrd.cm/4l0QScB

I will never get used to the disdain our country holds for brown and Black children. From Palestine to Iran to Sudan, we normalize the destruction of schools and hospitals and daycares. We reduce children to death tolls and their futures to rubble with no consequence or second thought.

So many in the replies going "this is good because what else can Carney do?" are giving big Dril energy. There is absolutely value in saying bad things are bad, and last time I checked, flagrant aggression and wars that result in children dying are bad. This isn't actually that complicated.

For anyone who says American/Israeli-led regime change in Iran is necessary to protect women's rights and prevent human rights abuses.

I hope OpenAI gets sued into the sun

NDP debate has been...meh so far? Johnston I think a winner, Ashton not great, and about par for McQuail, McPherson, and Lewis (maybe slight wins for the latter 2). Nothing really differentiating these people from each other still, which they'd say is a good thing, but I'm less sure.

RCMP identify victims of Tumbler Ridge mass shooting: Abel Mwansa, 12 Kylie Smith, 12 Zoey Benoit, 12 Ticaria Lampert, 12, Ezekiel Schofield, 13 Shannda Aviugana-Durand, 39 Emmett Jacobs, 11 Jennifer Jacobs/Strang, 39 www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

NEW: Group sending Canadian right-wing media personalities on free trips to Israel quietly funded by Israeli government Documents unearthed by @pressprogress.ca show Israel's foreign ministry granted the Exigent Foundation $175,000 CAD to bring "Canadian influencers and policymakers" to Israel

Thanks to the good folks at @thetyee.ca for republishing my piece from today

The response to the #TumblerRidgeShooting from far-right media, online commentators and even an elected official in Canada is another dark example of how pervasive anti-trans misinformation has become, even in Canada. Mel Woods writes. #bcpoli #bced

NEW: A Mossad-linked Israeli lawfare organization is trying to shut down The Maple and get criminal charges laid against me. Read, share and let Israelis know that they don’t get to decide what Canadian journalism looks like. www.readthemaple.com/a-mossad-lin...

Shout out to my social studies teachers out there. I felt seen by this.

Train Dreams is such a beautiful film. Reminded me of a Pacific NW telling of Of Mice and Men. One of my favs this year.

The way that media, government, and Canadian society have coalesced around defending "private property" in the wake of the Cowichan decision is something way more people in this county need to pay attention to.

A man waits nearly a year for regulated psilocybin therapy to ease end-of-life distress and is denied. He applies for MAiD and is approved in 3 weeks. Bureaucracy moves fast when it wants to.

If you call a guy for taunting in the playoffs to give a team a first down on fourth-and-12 he needs to be doing the full DeGeneration X entrance

Carol Off's essay in the "Elbows Up!" collection has some absolute bars. What a great collection.

Very disappointed to see the Canada Pension Plan not only funding Elon Musk’s hype-fueled fantasies and misogynist AI bot, but also the environmental and health challenges xAI’s data centers are causing in South Memphis.

Mark Carney's intervention in Davos has elicited a considerable response and won plaudits from some unusual places. But how exactly should we interpret the speech and what might it signify? I have some thoughts. www.lukewsavage.com/p/interpreti...

Good. Canada shouldn't be anywhere near this garbage.
