Only Eric Reguly in @theglobeandmail.com could produce a top-of-the-page opinion piece anguishing over the latest Ferrari’s looks. 🤷🏼🙄🤷🏼

Albertan Canadians don’t need to be reminded, but the rest of 🇨🇦Canada does: Alberta secessionists are 🇺🇸MAGA quislings, largely of the nutbar “Christian” fundamentalist variety. 🇨🇦🙄🇨🇦

This is one of the brilliant, safe, separated bike lanes that taxpayers just paid to install. Big Doug Dumb Doug Ford wants taxpayers now to pay to tear it out. Memories of stick free gas pump stickers, illegible license plates, charging stations out and back in, gravy planes and on and on and on. 🙄

Every criminally accused person in 🇨🇦Canada has a Charter right to trial “within a reasonable time”. The Supreme Court of Canada has just ruled, in effect, that the government can’t extend the notion of “a reasonable time” by underfunding the justice system. Will Big Dumb Doug Ford listen? 🤷🏼🧐🤷🏼

Just as he continues to evade security clearance on specious grounds, looks like petulant peewee piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre is going to weasel out on having to say which way he’ll vote (as an Alberta MP, for heaven’s sake🙄) on the Alberta secession referendum. In today’s @thestar.com:

Petulant peewee piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre forgot to bring his apples today. 🤷🏼🤫🤷🏼

Of course neoNazi war criminal Hegseth’s murders of complete strangers on the high seas have left the 🇺🇸USA as drug-mired as ever. 🤷🏼🙄🤷🏼

In today’s @nytimes.com, on neoNazi 🇺🇸Trump’s persecution of the woman who successfully sued him for sexual assault and again for defaming her. Will the women of the 🇺🇸USA finally rise up and overthrow him, given the men sure won’t? 🤷🏼🤔🤷🏼

For all those who didn’t get the intended irony in Prime Minister Carney’s ‘Make America Great Again’ comment in New York, and for all those who swallow 🍁Conservative lies and hypocrisy whole 👇🏻 open.substack.com/pub/canpulse...

Everyone happy to see this dude, an avid supporter of the Canadian Coalition for “Firearm Rights”, armed to the teeth and practicing on human-torso shaped targets? 🤷🏼😳🤷🏼

Hurrah. 🥹 www.thestar.com/news/gta/mis...

Let’s face it, 🇨🇦Canada’s military are so blinkered and accustomed to partnering with the 🇺🇸USA military, they can’t perceive that the world has changed. The 🇺🇸USA is now a rogue neofascist nation, and it’s not coming back. We need to disentangle from them in every way as soon as possible. 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

Alberta Quisling Queen of Stupid Danielle Smith: “I’m too stupid and/or dishonest to have campaigned for election on a promise to hold a referendum on secession (unlike the principled PQ in Québec). And I’m so incapable of leadership that I just can’t decide whether to hold that referendum anyway.”🤷🏼

Always eager to exploit an outlier 🍁MAID case, the University of Toronto law school’s Professor of Health Law and Policy leaps to the barricades to lambaste the entire system, but as usual declines to say what he would do instead: would he revoke the London MD’s license? Call the police? What? 🤷🏼🙄🤷🏼

Magic Forest, Cherry Beach May 27, 2026

I don't watch any of these, so this is easy for me. I'm an avid reader or an occasional Netflix watcher.

@thestar.com has amazing investigative reporting on Ontario issues. @TheGlobeandMail.com not so much - for some reason they seem laser focused on Alberta, where their people do excellent work. One always recalls how The Globe sat on the Doug Ford drug dealing story. 🤷🏼 www.thestar.com/news/investi...

Um, @nytimes.com, the neoNazi 🇺🇸USA doesn’t have a Department of “Justice” anymore. It has an SS and a Gestapo though …

Letter writer in today’s @TheGlobeandMail.com calls the Alberta grievance industry out to a ‘T’. 🍁🍁🍁

It’s Wednesday and the treasonous Preston Manning has provided his daily fabricated grievance to egg on his darling Alberta separatists. 🍁🙄🍁

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew pictured yesterday explaining the difference between 'reality' and 'pandering' to Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, while unidentified man in centre considers his lunch order.

Now let’s scrap Trump’s F-35 fighter programme and go with Saab’s Gripens too. The 🇺🇸Empire is dying,

First bike ride of 2026 to the tip of the Leslie Street Spit earns this at St. Lawrence Market. 🤷😉🤷

Mr. Ling in today’s @thestar.com deftly traces Alberta Quisling Queen of Stupid Danielle Smith’s undeniable and continuing history of sheer nutbarism. 🍁🙄🍁 www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

Memories of Nero, watching the neoNazi 🇺🇸USA make a fool of itself before the world whilst “celebrating” the 250th anniversary of the Republic’s founding in the year of its death. 🤷🏼🙄🤷🏼

A powerful and conclusive rebuttal to the anti-MAID fanatics who conjure up inflammatory images of governments systematically “killing” people, all of whom are “disabled” by tortured definition and incapable of choice. Insulting all who choose a dignified ending. 🍁 open.substack.com/pub/maidinca...

Mr. Ralston Saul has it dead to rights on democratic 🇸🇪Sweden’s Gripen vs. 🇺🇸Nazi Hegseth’s F-35 fighter. 🍁🍁🍁 open.substack.com/pub/johnrals...

In honor of the true heroes on this Memorial Day, I fixed it. #DonaldTrump #MemorialDay

So Alberta’s Frankenstein United Conservative Party is, by its President’s own admission, composed of a separatist majority and the party itself will take “no position” on the issue. Yet the Quisling Queen of Stupid Danielle Smith has the gall to proclaim loudly that she is not a separatist. 🇨🇦🤔🧐🙄🇨🇦

When our off-duty police officers are accosted by law enforcement anywhere, inside 🇨🇦Canada or out, they should be prohibited from flashing their badge. As they love to recite, no one is above the law. 🤔🧐🙄 www.thestar.com/news/gta/tor...

There you have it folks: the dean of the creepy 🍁gun cult, chief mucky muck at the Canadian Coalition for “Firearm Rights”, joins petulant peewee piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre in promoting 🇺🇸US style “castle laws” for 🇨🇦Canada. Shoot ‘em up, bang bang. Disagree, and you’re a “bad person”. 🤷🏼🙄🤷🏼

Anyone think 🇺🇸neoNazi Trump got family members and cronies to buy up oil futures just before he told 🇺🇸neoNazi Hegseth to make this happen? Or that they’ll be dumping them just before the next breaking news of an imaginary “peace deal”?

As ever, when the 🇺🇸USA goes to war, the @nytimes.com provides the cheerleaders. This piece (sorry, paywalled and May “gift” forwarding used up) reads as if written by one of neoNazi Hegseth’s stenographers. 🤷🏼🙄🤷🏼

One has heard Mr. Rae before, on leadership as not just counting heads, but turning them. Good to read the words again here. 🍁🍁🍁 open.substack.com/pub/bobrae48...

Lest anyone be left in any doubt as to whether petulant peewee piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre’s caucus is working hand in glove with the creepy 🍁gun cult and the Canadian Coalition for “Firearm Rights”. 🤷🏼🙄🤷🏼

Great idea for Canada Day too eh? Remember heritage minutes? @mark-carney.bsky.social @vgasparro.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Another distinguished 🇨🇦Canadian, holder of any number of positions in service to the public (including Chief of Protocol for PM Brian Mulroney), avails herself of our country’s enlightened MAID legislation. 🍁🍁🍁

Apartheid Boy NeoNazi Musk apparently under the delusion that he’s more popular than Bruce Springsteen. 🤷🏼🤫🤷🏼

One has to smile at this paywalled piece in the ever-so-earnest @nytimes.com today. Some think tank’s Jessica Brandt wringing her hands over the 🇺🇸USA’s inability to muzzle 🇮🇷Iran’s jokes about Trump that go viral. He can get Stephen Colbert cancelled, but he can’t stop this. 🤷🏼🤫😉🤭🤷🏼

The thing about Trump is he’s always wanted people put to death. He wanted the Central Park Five (who all were eventually exonerated) killed way back in 1989. Now, as President, he gets to have people killed all the time. Protesters on city streets. Schoolgirls in Iran. Strangers on the high seas.🤷🏼

Boycott FIFA in the United States. Watch it in Canada or Mexico if you want, but stay away from the US.

What goes through the collective mind of the entire democratic free world when they see someone driving a Tesla Cybertruck.

We’ve all grown up with the lie that the 🇺🇸USA is the “greatest country in the world”. Today the @nytimes.com reports that 1 in 6 adults there is on an “SSRI” anti-depressant medication. Such a jolly place. 🤷🏼🤔🤷🏼

Mr. Reich is correct about “polarization”. To accept that that’s the basic problem is to accept the notion of compromise with neofascists, playing into their hands. 🙄🙄🙄 open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

Correct.

Maybe you felt it was unfair to call Alberta’s Quisling Queen of Stupid, Danielle Smith, “stupid”. Well, here’s the proof: She says the reason we’re having a separatism crisis is because “leadership in BC” keeps “trying to put barriers in the way of us getting our product to market.” So … 1/2

If you’re Ontarian, nothing will move the needle on improving Ontarians‘ life more. Tunnels, MegaSPAs, private jet, record TAX MONEY spent on ADVERTISING, selling our greenspace for PENNIES on the dollar, hiding his 🕵️‍♂️CRIMES🦹‍♂️ by RETROACTIVELY repealing FOIA….. IF YOU CARE, BE THERE‼️‼️ #RESIST ✊🐸

Doug Ford took out a full-page ad vilifying homeless people because he’s a horrible person and somehow an even worse premier. We know where the real danger lies in this province.

There is so much poetry in Stephen Colbert celebrating his finale on the exact stage where the Beatles changed culture in 1964. Singing "Hello Goodbye" surrounded by his family, his band, and his crew before Paul McCartney flipped the final power switch. This was the perfect full-circle goodbye!
