support independent media. idk what else to say right now.

Fucked up. Bari Weiss is such a loser

Thank you pal ☺️

New lows every day.

Joanna Evenson AKA "Blond Bigot" was on the Neo-Nazi RedIceTV livestream and claimed that Caryma Sa'd sent her a clip of @rachelgilmore.bsky.social's podcast. More evidence that Caryma is working with Neo-Nazis. antihate.ca/internationa... 1/3

A year ago, I took the biggest risk of my professional life. I launched my independent journalism project: Bubble Pop. And….holy shit. You guys made my dreams come true. This year has been a roller coaster. I can't wait to see what 2026 brings. (Hopefully fewer death threats?? lol):

!! Two MPs denied entry to the West Bank, part of a delegation that saw a Canadian MP repeatedly assaulted by Israeli border officials, have sent a letter to Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand. The letter calls Israel’s actions “serious affronts to Canada’s sovereignty.”

A far-right party in Canada is imploding over a 22-year-old staffer’s extreme posting online. I got my hands on audio from @antihate.ca that might leave Canadians asking how the hell someone like this got into politics at all. It involves Diagolon, "remigration" and some trojan-horse-style plots:

Gotta say, hitting the year mark of when I first launched my independent news outlet is SCARY. I've had about a 10% drop in income after passing the "auto renew" dates from my initial launch, eek! If you have some extra cash and wanna spend it on some independent journalism, consider subscribing :)

The guy in the glasses at the bottom left is the former Poilievre staffer who led the charge to get me booted from the fact checking gig on CTV's Your Morning. Love the collegial solidarity of........having him on the show I used to produce as a pundit, as if that never happened!

The issue is not that we don't talk to each other. It's that some people think that "talking" means getting to debate your existence, and that's abusive and controlling.

Globe and Mail columnist Robyn Urback just suggested that, if intent matters for the phrase "globalize the intifada," then it must matter for DOING BLACKFACE. I shit you not. With a few notable exceptions, Canada's columnist class is cooked.

Last night, I heard back from the Canadian government about a delegation — including six elected MPs — who Israeli officials turned away from the West Bank Those officials also shoved a Canadian Liberal MP multiple times. Global Affairs Canada’s response? To distance itself from the delegation:

Just got this from the Canadian government: “While Global Affairs Canada regrets the decision, the group was travelling independently and was not representing the Government of Canada.” Israeli officials ASSAULTED a Canadian member of Parliament!! Where is the backbone????

JUST FINISHED WALKING MY DOGGGGS SO IM GOING LIVE NOW UNTIL 9PMET! COME HANG!!!! TWITCH: twitch.tv/rachel_gilmore YOUTUBE: YouTube.com/@AtRachelGil... TIKTOK: www.tiktok.com/@rachel_gilm...

NDP MP @jennykwan.bsky.social was among the 30-person delegation Israel turned away from visiting the West Bank. But when she called me, I Iearned why her staff told me the incident was worse than what's been reported -- and that TWO Israeli officials laid hands on an MP. Here's what happened:

The rate at which I get notifications that Jonathan Kay is posting about me on Twitter is genuinely uhhhh disturbing?? it's giving creepy obsession!

Yes, our several post-long tiktok feud was discussed

Othman Mekhloufi was the first user, to my knowledge, to share the link to the site CharliesMurderers on Twitter. That ended up being the main doxxing site for those accused of "celebrating" Charlie Kirk's death. I was first on the site, which made me think it was made by a far-right Canadian...

Each member of a Canadian delegation attempting to enter the West Bank were “asked to sign a form declaring they acknowledge they are a threat to public safety, which they declined to do.” So Israel denied them entry. The first mention that Israel denied them comes in the 4th paragraph in a quote.

On a new 🔵 BUBBLE POP 🔵 @parismarx.com sits down with @rachelgilmore.bsky.social to review an unhinged year in Canadian politics that saw the Liberals become more Conservative, the Cons become more MAGA and the NDP struggling to return to relevancy. rachelgilmore.substack.com/p/looking-ba...

Every time I hear an update about Canadaland these days

Yesterday, there was a horrific antisemitic attack on Jewish folks at Bondi beach. But the hero, Ahmed al-Ahmed, showed us that even in the face of unimaginable horror, we can choose to care about each other, protect each other and push back on hate. Unfortunately, not everyone is learning this:

Whenever Jesse Brown does bullshit like this I take solace in the fact that there will inevitably be a thread on the Canadaland subreddit that absolutely torches his fraudulent ass Can't wait to read this one <3

The hour of the night when the most sober, responsible and well-considered tweets are typically sent

Jesus Christ. This dude is such an irresponsible hack. You can’t just say shit like this about people!

The Canadian media is an affirmative action program for right-wingers.

Nice to see that Globe and Mail columnist Robyn Urback is allowed to once again just totally twist my words and falsely smear me as antisemitic with zero professional consequences. This is the second time she’s done this to me personally, and she’s done this to others too. Such an awful person.

In a broad sense, on a day like today, please take care of each other, stand with Jewish folks who are hurting after this horrific antisemitic attack, and reject any attempts to co-opt that pain and trauma to drive more division and hate. ❤️

Ahmed El Ahmed is a hero, is a hero, wow. Incredible courage in such a terrifying moment Thinking of the Jewish community after this horrific attack during such a special celebration 💔 I’m so sorry.

Mark Carney has been literally slipping talking points put together by tech billionaires and the Build Canada group they founded into his speeches. Grim revelation — and of course, the tech industry is thrilled about it.

Michael Ma when he hears someone is having a Christmas party (especially with a secret santa)

Listen, let's not rule out that drawing Jamil Jivani's name in Secret Santa might have been what actually prompted the floor crossing.

Michael Ma collected his own conservative secret santa gift before crossing the floor BUT DID NOT DELIVER ANYTHING TO THE NAME HE DREW HE SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN JAMIL JIVANI’S SECRET SANTA LMFAO THIS DIVAAAAAA

It was both impressive and terrifying. Paris put the reading glasses ON

Michael Ma collected his Conservative Party secret Santa gift (an Amazon Fire Stick) boogied at the Conservative Christmas party, then crossed the floor and partied with the Liberals. Regrettably iconic behaviour. Diva shit

The Liberals just gained another Conservative floor crosser, leaving them just one seat short of a majority. What does this tell us about Carney’s conservat— er, Liberal party? Is this a death knell for Poilievre’s leadership? @parismarx.com joined me to discuss all this and more!

I was waiting for you, Beaverton 💅

Oh my GOD. This is the Shopify broligarch-involved pet project to influence Canadian policy. Build Canada told journalist Taylor Noakes that Carney's office "has reached out to Build Canada on occasion to ask about our memos." www.desmog.com/2025/12/08/m...

I just remembered that GenAI audio summaries is how Canada's AI minister Evan Solomon gets his news. It's hard not to be ranty about this stuff when the people at the top are wilfully blind to flaws with this technology that the rest of us can see so clearly. macleans.ca/technology-3...

TUNE IN NOW!

(if I posted this joke on threads I would be systematically drawn and quartered)

Poilievre's leadership is flailing so maybe the guy who seems to be dreaming about leading the Conservative Party can finally get his chance. Mark Carney, go get 'em tiger!

Very good and cool that Jesse Brown gives this woman a special, positive shout out in his series that is apparently about antisemitism

🚨LIVE at 11:00amET TOMORROW🚨 For Bubble Pop’s last episode before our holiday hiatus, fan favourite @parismarx.com will join me to talk shit about politics! Given things just got even juicier with the latest breaking news 👀 you won’t want to miss it. GET NOTIFIED:

I will say that I find it very shady and mildly undemocratic that the Liberals are trying to obtain a majority they weren’t elected on through floor crossings That and minority governments are better for democracy due to the compromise they necessitate OH WELL

This is also very bad news for Pierre Poilievre ahead of his leadership review in January.

****Elizabeth May’s balance of power intensifies****

BREAKING: Conservative MP Michael Ma is crossing the floor to sit as a Liberal. Liberals are now just one seat short of a majority.

I’m not kidding!
