Doug Ford was upset yesterday because malls weren't open on Family Day.

The exodus of Albertans if the province separated would cause an economic catastrophe that would render it a failed state. Via @angusreidinstitute.bsky.social

Well that ended well. Reminder that Jamil Jivani was sipping tea in the White House not a week ago boasting about improving Canada-U.S. ties & blaming his own country for the problems. #cdnpoli

There are children not yet conceived who will be born before Ontario Liberal leadership race is over.

🤣🤣🤣... and I'm on my way to NY to steal Scarlett Johansson away from Colin Jost

Trump sues US taxpayers for $10 billion, then decides whether US taxpayers have to pay him the $10 billion. I guess the billions he made overseas in the past year selling out America to his foreign business partners isn't enough.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Mind-blowing 🤯 The Venezuelan invasion & Maduro abduction was only 3 1/2 weeks ago! We are being assaulted daily by lawlessness & horror by the U.S. regime and we can't process it fast enough. That is the plan. They want us exhausted & despairing. medium.com/the-left-is-...

This is one of the reasons you should be following the outstanding @pollara.bsky.social substack newsletter penned by the equally outstanding @calgarygrit.bsky.social. pollarastrategicinsights.substack.com/p/blue-colla...

If Canada participates in the "Board of Peace" corruption orgy, it will forever be a stain on us & those who approved the decision. Forever. #cdnpoli globalnews.ca/news/1161965...

Marc has warned about Trump's efforts to destroy democracy for almost 10 years now. He has been right every single time. He's right this time.

Bingo! It's only antisemitism if it's a brown person.

Classic move from the Corrupt Dictator Playbook. Putin & his FSB cronies pulled this exact same fraud when they seized Yukos oil co. from jailed oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky.

100% this!👇

Waiting with bated breath for outspoken feminists Lisa MacLeod, Denise Batters & @michellegarner.bsky.social to demand fire this misogynist POS for endorsing the cold-blooded murder of a woman in her own car. #cdnpoli

Danielle Smith colluded with Sam Mraiche to funnel cash through shady lawyers for dirty tricks, harassment & obstruction of justice. It's essentially Watergate, but if Watergate was orchestrated by the dumbest people you could possibly imagine #ableg #abpoli

Bingo! Which is why the brainiacs in Alberta media should be digging ferociously to find the sources of their generous funding. #abpoli #ableg

It's important to read books & learn history. Just gonna leave these here as a reminder.

Outstanding visual journalism & one-stop compendium of Trump's criminal network. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Been thinking a lot about the 2025 Blue Jays run & how it unexpectedly lifted my spirits in a dark time.

If you didn't think anyone could descend to the level of Donald Trump's classlessness today, here's Ezra Levant and Michael Coren from some years back gleefully toasting the death of Jack Layton.

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream. Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads. Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

. @kneecapceol.bsky.social are gonna win. Vince Gasparro proves yet again he is the poster boy for failing-up white guys. exclaim.ca/music/articl...

Headline of the year right here!

Preach! 🚚

This is a crime against the English language. I have never read such terrible writing. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/o...

Todd Snider was not just a legendary singer-songwriter but a beautiful human being. He had a lot more great songs to give to the world. Due to medical incompetence and/or greed, that won't happen. RIP Todd. stereogum.com/2479829/todd...

Time to get back to what really matters:

The only Cheney obit you'll need. The only sad thing about his death is that he didn't swing from the gallows in The Hague. As the author says, no hell is hot enough for him. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Nothing but good vibes for a swift recovery for Stray Cats' Brian Setzer. An incredible performer on every stage he's ever stepped on & a true gent. Chin up! www.guitarplayer.com/guitarists/d...

Funny how it's only conservative provincial govts that take away Charter rights. It's almost like they can't be trusted to govern without disobeying the law of the land. #cdnpoli #abpoli #ableg

Gotta say I'm impressed with this inspired decision by @rushtheband.bsky.social. Looking forward to the shows. consequence.net/2025/10/new-...

Yes, Doug Ford leads a corrupt, inept govt. But Project Ontario + "Fat Trudeau" attacks are American far-right dark money Project 2025-inspired efforts to move Ontario conservatism into Trumpist authoritarianism. Follow the money. #onpoli www.policorner.ca/p/q-a-meet-p...

💣💣💣 In normal times, RCMP would be doing raids & slapping cuffs after this kind of revelation. Albertans are so conditioned to UCP corruption that they just shrug it off. Good on Carrie Tait & a very small handful of journalists for soldiering on to uncover this villainy. #ableg

Gotta admit that management missteps in the offseason made me a #BlueJays skeptic. So fun to watch the roster dig deep these past months to rise to the occasion & prove me wrong. Looking forward to a great postseason.

I know many are inured to the firehouse of Ozarks-level corruption in the Danielle Smith govt, but this is a new low: govt procurement officials simultaneously acting on behalf of private health interests. It is to weep.

"To end this war, it will be necessary to break out of disavowal and confront the gruesome reality fully: to recognize what Israel's war has wrought and begin to repair the untold damage that has been done." www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

I put together a primer on Charlie Kirk — and paid some special attention to his relationship with Nick Fuentes and the Groyper movement. There's no hot takes or sweeping declarations. Just some useful background. www.bugeyedandshameless.com/p/who-was-ch...

Exactly this

Excellent summary of how badly Air Canada effed itself in the flight attendants' labour dispute. These brainiacs delivered the biggest victory to organized labour in 40 years. #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

The guy who got rich punching down on Monica Lewinsky at her most vulnerable moment has things to say about late-night shows making fun of Trump! variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Ozzy Osbourne hit 3 showbiz home runs (Sabbath, solo + reality show). Why? Because he refused to be anybody other than his imperfect but monstrously entertaining self. I will always cheer for the guy who wears his heart on his sleeve. #RIPOzzy www.theguardian.com/music/2025/j...

In the early days of bluegrass—a genre largely dominated by men—Bessie Lee Mauldin stood out not only for her presence, but for her undeniable talent. As the bassist for Bill Monroe’s Blue Grass Boys... #bluegrass

I really hope John Tory does run in 2026 so he can be properly humiliated at the ballot box as the poster boy for failing-up mediocre rich white men. #topoli www.thestar.com/news/gta/joh...

Adam Vaughan's rep as a top-notch communicator has always been overrated. He's good at 5-second clips & gaslighting, but that's it. In this long-form panel, he exposes himself as an inauthentic, toxic, mansplaining BS artist. Therme will come to regret hiring him. #onpoli

ouch New Yorker.

This is outstanding journalism. Tip o' the hat to @mississippifreepress.org. www.mississippifreepress.org/ice-arrests-...

The market economy for celebrity journalists is part of the problem. Book deals, TV spots, becoming a household name—it all rewards spectacle & the coverage of spectacle. Democratic erosion isn’t scandalous enough. If saving democracy requires a press that understands its role, we might not make it.
