A fantastic 🇨🇦 civics lesson from thread-master and panda, @tim4hire.bsky.social

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison. So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

Lol holy shit it's all so bad

"[A]s Jews from all walks of life and across the world. . . We have not forgotten that so many of the laws, charters, and conventions established to safeguard and protect all human life were created in response to the Holocaust. Those safeguards have been relentlessly violated by Israel."

+1000 to this argument by @benrowswell.bsky.social.

In honour of the one year since he started his journey to the west, I wrote a letter to Dad in my free @winnipegfreepress.com newsletter Biidaajimowin.

This could be framed as either “an overwhelming two-thirds of New York Jews voted against Mamdani” or as “a record 1 in 3 New York Jews supported an avowed anti-Zionist.” Both framings are technically true, but bear very different implications.

I have to imagine far-right Catholics are really struggling with the fact that they can now hear this stuff in English directly from the pope.

This clip is *many things* -- including a lesson in how people need to be able to save face in rejecting disinformation they'd believed in.

It pains me to say this but...this is so funny.

Must read. Basically, if you’ve fallen for Ru propaganda, the chatbots will dig you in even deeper. Also note this: “Grok provided the highest number of Russian sources even when asked neutral questions, the research found.” Higher than the Chinese chatbot!

Zohran makes the old-school, reflexively pro-Israel Jewish establishment very uncomfortable. It’s because he is more aligned with the majority of American Jews on critical issues than they are. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

Of interest to Ottawans who remember Suda's unhappy tenure (and general mayhem) at the National Gallery of Canada: www.phillymag.com/news/2025/11...

The "sense of shared destiny" between Israel and the diaspora has indeed been dissolved... through a long-term deliberate choice by Netanyahu to increase his domestic and regional power through an alliance with the anti-Semitic fascist movements in the west.

Brad Lander is at the victory party and, folks, he has the custom one-of-one “GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE” shirt.

Folks...

As I am one of the climate scientists he is referring to here - and I am a scientist who decided to dedicate her life to working on climate precisely because of how unjustly it disproportionately impacts the poor and vulnerable - let me clarify my rationale and thoughts below. 🧵

Fully half of the ominous Four Condiments of the Apocalypse

Of a piece with US Ambassador to Canada profanely berating Ontario's representative to the US in Ottawa last week. Personal aggression and intimidation against foreign diplomats and officials now the US diplomatic norm. More reason for Canada to adjust accordingly.

You laugh now but when Mike Johnson achieves ataraxia from his almost perfect pursuit of pyrrhonian skepticism, what then?

"A diplomatic reprimand is not only justified, it is necessary to signal that Canada will not look kindly on overt disrespect toward its officials, regardless of whether they serve Ottawa or the provinces."

JFC. Attending a @thewalrus.ca forum last month on Climate Disinformation opened my eyes to the existence of all this, fully on the scale of health disinformation. But I hadn't realized the global extent of it and its aims to influence UN climate treaty process.

It's 9:12am and the professional napper is at it again.

This is an example of what Canadians should worry about as Canada looks to increase trade relations with China.

Academics in Assyria in the 7th c BC complain that admin is preventing them from doing research and teaching

A reminder that the Ford govt closed the supervised consumption site in Chinatown and refuses to approve injectable opioid agonist treatment for people with serious addictions. Right now, private addiction clinics are proliferating and the whole community is suffering. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

yes yes yes to all of this. material politics is the way forward and that doesn’t mean slogans it means the very difficult work of being a real presence in the lives of the people who you want to trust you.

Parliamentary privilege hat on: The committee transcript is a disaster of woke conspiracy theories www.ourcommons.ca/documentview... But parliamentary privilege overrides the Privacy Act or other confidentiality issues. Technically, the data must be provided. However…

And it's not just Canadian researchers who should be appalled by this. Anyone who's supported a research grant as a partner or collaborator--many many people in nonprofits, community groups and other organizations--also stand to have their demographic data revealed if this happens. It must not.

Canadian researchers, *read this thread*. As Andrea notes, "The data will include information that researchers provided with the understanding that it would remain confidential. This includes demographic information on the applicants as well as peer review comments on applications."

Amazed but pleased to learn after all these years, amid the calamities of 2025, that (a) Kant's greatness has been underappreciated, and (b) so has his social life. More astonishing than the starry sky above!

Spectacular essay by Anthony Lang. It made me think about people who marry bores, and my friend Josh who died magnificently, and the cracking pleasure of surprising words.

this is real 'come the fuck on' territory. it's one professor using his own, uh, interesting index.

Can anyone explain why Mamdani would promise to do this?

One might think that after Amnesty, B'Tselem, the UN and the International Association of Genocide Scholars have accused Israel of genocide, rabbis would feel some need to answer their arguments. Instead, they simply waive them away.

Many Canadians have no idea how high tuberculosis rates are in the Inuit population - hundreds of times the non-Indigenous Canadian-born rate. Globally this remains an illness of poverty and marginalization and that's true in one of the richest countries on earth.

Canada is not built for what's going on with MAGA. The neo-nazi transnational right will undermine our elections, democracy and public conversations. They already are. They will invent and exacerbate societal divisions. Thus far, there is little sign that our media get this.

Hard to describe just how much I admire @mehlerpaperny.bsky.social for the blunt, open, and occassionally hilarious way she writes about depression. And the risks she takes to help herself and the next generation. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

All parties are talking absolutely shit about the budget. No one is being straight with Canadians. No one.
