So true. #journalism in #Canada is not immune, as PP’s gleeful attacks on #CBC (when cocky PP took for granted he’d win) made clear. Pay Close Attention to Trump's War on the Free Press via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

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.

Added to my TBR, by “a septuagenarian debut novelist” I can’t wait to read: #books www.nytimes.com/2026/02/27/b...

Nice to see news that brings a little smile to the face. #Canada #HeatedRivalry

No matter where you live in Canada, please support our unity. We are together. Https://secure.forever-canadian.ca

We got to go through that whole Nobel Prize shit again when Melania doesn’t get nominated for an Oscar.

Good dig at the “prize-winning” orange thug, @22-minutes.bsky.social & Mark Critch. The kissing Gretsky is good, the ending (no spoilers here) even better. #Canada

Not much to smile about re #Canada #US #autoindustry but this car worked for me. www.bbc.com/news/videos/...

For this major literary prize in #Canada, 2026 judges will, instead of #authors, be independent #booksellers. Great idea! gillerprize.ca/introducing-...

Revolted by #Grok AI porn and arrogant egotistical billionaire who allows it. I just signed a petition demanding the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry Ban X/Twitter in Canada. Join me in signing here: you.leadnow.ca/petitions/ba... you.leadnow.ca/petitions/ba...

Govt of Canada Communication: THEN vs NOW

In Canada, call or email Evan Solomon and demand he do his job as “Minister of AI and Digital innovation” to stop the CSAM and non-consensual porn. X should be banned in this country. 📞 416-972-2030 📧 [email protected]

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland. Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

I’m definitely in the “read the book first” camp. Have now added His & Hers to my #TBR. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/05/b...

Finnish children learn media literacy at 3 years old. It's protection against Russian propaganda. Conversely, Trump disbanded all efforts to identify and black Russian disinformation campaigns and is actually bolstering and promoting them.

Sending a Happy New Year to @brittlestar.com as I sit on my couch enjoying my last glass of wine for 2025. Thanks for making me laugh during a year that was not, to put it mildly, particularly funny.

If you’re trying to explain to friends & fam who Charlie Angus is, and why MeidasCanada is so important, here’s a good intro to the shit disturbing resistance of @charlieangus104.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

I kind of like this whole “We won’t buy your liquor but we will air your state-suppressed news stories” niche that Canada’s apparently carved out.

Hadn’t heard of #OursToProtect until this @brittlestar.com post. And it’s so very, very true.

Thanks for this uplifting story about #Halifax & #BostonChristmasTree Challenging to be good neighbours/neighbors in these times but glad they’re keeping this tradition alive. (Now, back to boycotting.)

Happy Thursday, Canada 🍁

I really needed to see this today. Thanks @brittlestar.com

I know about 10 words of #Icelandic from hearing it spoken by older relatives. Hope #Iceland can protect it from AI. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Last year, author J. B. MacKinnon found out that tech companies had fed his books into their generative AI models. Now, he's the face of several lawsuits against big tech. https://macleans.ca/longforms/big-tech-v-me/

www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/b... Reminds me of the Kate Atkinson books on my shelf I want to re-read…as if my #TBR pile isn’t too long already.

Mark Carney’s unexpected trick-or-treaters are a little treat for us today.

Ahem. We give you Gander. The app. On a phone. Not public yet… but it’s real, in our hands, and soon in beta. The timing is a bit nuts… given we just opened investment to all Canadians (at frontfundr.com/gandersocial) but we’re over the moon. Amazing what can get done with community.

“He is the first Heiltsuk-born doctor to deliver a Heiltsuk baby in the Heiltsuk Nation.” — Lovely story.

Looking forward to this.

Live your life in such a way that 7 million people don’t show up just to tell you that you are an asshole. #NoKings

Not sure how I stumbled upon this @dianaurban.bsky.social Substack post, but it's one I'm going to refer back to next time I'm proofing any #writing.

Can’t share the Globe & Mail article that includes photo of a new big, beautiful globe, but well done Royal Canadian Geographical Society! #Canada

Just watched. Thanks @charlieangus104.bsky.social Shout-out to #Bluenose

Just bought an electric range. A reviewer of this model says read the manual so that's what I'm doing. On p. 4: "Never attempt to dry a pet in the oven." Whew. Who knew, right? Now wondering how much I could get paid in the writing room of an appliance manufacturer. #writing #cats #dogs #safety

Fascinating. The older I get, the more I want to know about what goes on when we #sleep.

Completely understandable.

Warms the heart.

#ageing: “if you wake up in the morning, you’re ageing successfully”

Enjoying @brittlestar.com new series. At least, I hope it'll be a series.

Keep telling it like it is, Charlie.

This is Canada — and we decide what happens here.
