Good news: They're teaching The Next Civil War in a course in Seattle. Bad news: The title of the course. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Just arrived: The Next Civil War: Dispatches from the American Future, by Stephen Marche. Thought it was relevant to read it now.

This article by @stephenmarche.bsky.social is fantastic - it's an incredible read. "Militia pie is delicious; the crusts are richer, flakier. I think they use lard." www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Elbows up, Canucks. The Aug 31'25 episode of CBC Radio's The Current (Matt Galloway's interview with @stephenmarche.bsky.social) is essential listening. What *does* it mean to be 🇨🇦, how *do* we embody Canadian identity in this nefarious, autocracy-leaning world? #CDNpoli - www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

I’m reading THE NEXT CIVIL WAR by Stephen Marche, and just the introduction is making me nauseous. We are not okay.

Canada finally faces a basic question: how do we defend ourselves? | Stephen Marche

In @theguardian.com, I make the case for why Canada needs a whole society defence. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"We are a young country, indeed. You can still go and interview the leading canonical figure of our national literature." That 'leading canonical figure of our national literature,' @margaretatwood.bsky.social, gives some good lawn-care advice here. #BookSky #CanLit 🍁📚

A bonus episode. @margaretatwood.bsky.social, unfiltered. From Canadian nationalism to Trump, “genocide of the poor,” and the future of democracy — this is the full-length Gloves Off interview. Watch now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeAZ...

I wrote for the Globe and Mail about the weirdness of interviewing Margaret Atwood. She's funny as hell. She's optimistic because she feels she needs to be. www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/article...

I just finished #TheNextCivilWar by @stephenmarche.bsky.social. It took me a dispatch to get used to the format, but ultimately, the book paints the picture of an insurmountable divide. If this were a meme, Bugs Bunny already has his saw out; the only question is where to cut. More ⬇️. #books

@strombo.bsky.social and I talked about Gloves Off. This conversation rips into the myths we tell ourselves about safety, power, and who’s really got our back. 📺 Watch it now on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ugz... #Canada #Strombo #PoliticsUnplugged #USCanada #Authoritarianism

Be careful if you zoom in on the image of t-shirt. True, but, as they say, NSFW. (Or to wear when crossing the border.)

Here's @MargaretAtwood in my house giving me a t-shirt. In the final episode of Gloves Off, I asked her what the title of a new dystopian novel about America would be. Her answer? "Genocide of the Poor." shows.acast.com/gloves-off

An excerpt from @thepaikinpodcast.bsky.social that’s hit 84,000 views on YouTube. An important convo between Janice Stein and @stephenmarche.bsky.social on how Canada should handle @realdonaldtrumppar.bsky.social

"In response to America’s threats, Canada is in the middle of the greatest explosion of nationalism in the country’s history, far more substantial than the nationalism of the 1960s."

Gloves Off is an excellent Canadian podcast. So is this article. 👇

I wrote about the state of Canadian rage for @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/08/10/o... The piece is a kind of capstone to all the work of Gloves Off. shows.acast.com/gloves-off

This episode of @thepaikinpodcast.bsky.social is getting quite a bit of traction: a rockin' debate between Janice Stein & @stephenmarche.bsky.social on the threat the U.S. poses to Canada: Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/3Vtg...

Thanks for having me on The Paikin Pod ‪@spaikin.bsky.social‬ to talk about what a second Trump term might mean, and how we prepare—militarily, economically, even psychologically. Listen here: youtu.be/WFIkdY4sWSs

This was a hell of a debate. Stephen Marche and Janice Stein discuss the threat to Canadian sovereignty, the end of the American empire and what we can do about it. You’re going to want to watch/listen to this one. YouTube: youtu.be/WFIkdY4sWSs Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w... #Trump

I had a great discussion on @thepaikinpodcast.bsky.social about Gloves Off. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFIk...

New episode of Gloves Off dropped today. Disinformation is flooding our feeds, undermining democracy—and Canada isn’t ready. I spoke to @uwaterloo.ca’s Bessma Momani, Cofacts Billion Lee, and @rferl.org.web.brid.gy's Andrei Soshnikov on to fight back. 🎧 Listen: apple.co/glovesoff

What would it take for the U.S. to occupy Canada? @UofT’s Aisha Ahmad dives into the chilling reality: authoritarianism, zero representation, and the repression of 40 million people. Listen to more of our interview on Ep 6 of the Gloves Off Pod. #Authoritarianism #Geopolitics #Canada #USPolitics

I hate how this podcast needs to exist, but it is important listening based on where we are right now in Canada with our neighbour’s self-destruction. @stephenmarche.bsky.social

I have absolutely *DEVOURED* @stephenmarche.bsky.social’s podcast, #GlovesOff, about the very real threat posed to #Canada by #DJT. You should make the time. It’s an outstanding listen! shows.acast.com/gloves-off #CanPoli #Never51 #SorryNotSorry #YoullBeSorry #StrongAndFree #FuckTrump

In this interview, International Security scholar Aisha Ahmad notes the threat we face from the United States is considered "detectable," the threshold at which our government should be responding to the threat. Our government is not responding to the threat. #cdnpoli #canada #elbowsup #never51

I'm reposting this @theatlantic.com piece I wrote in May about what an anti-American insurgency from Canada would look like. The full discussion is available in the latest episode of Gloves Off. shows.acast.com/gloves-off www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Canada's most important podcast.

Marche nails it again. Though the invasion and insurgency scenario terrify me to my very core, I cannot deny that it also ignites a fierce hope within me. In many ways, we resemble american citizens which opens doors to boundless possibilities for unimaginable destruction through insurgency.

What would a Canadian insurgency look like? This week on Gloves Off, we explore the unthinkable: a U.S. military occupation of Canada, why insurgencies form, and how ordinary people become fighters. 🎧 Listen here: shows.acast.com/gloves-off

Gloves Off has now been in the top ten shows in Canada on @ApplePodcasts for a month.

@meiselasb.bsky.social great background on the @meidastouch on p-o’d Canadians. Check out journalist and author @stephenmarche.bsky.social on his new Podcast podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/g... you 2 should talk.

Stephen Marche’s new podcast “Gloves Off” is an eight-part series about the threat to Canada’s sovereignty and what we can do about it. It’s hardly easy listening; alas, it feels essential. A Tyee interview with @harrisonmooney.bsky.social. #uspoli #canpoli

“We’re going to lose the moral high ground — but that’s what sovereignty demands.” In ‪The Tyee, HarrisonMooney.bsky.social and I talked about the most important conversation Canada should be having right now. thetyee.ca/Culture/2025... #GlovesOff #Canada #TheTyee #CanadianSovereignty

Okay, all set to start reading @stephenmarche.bsky.social’s 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘕𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘊𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘭 𝘞𝘢𝘳. Cheers 🥃. #StephenMarche #TheNextCivilWar #books #SummerReading

🇨🇦 Can Canada defend itself? In Ep 5 of Gloves Off, we head to Iqaluit to talk Arctic sovereignty, U.S. dependence, and why Finland’s “whole society defence” might be the model we need now. 🎧 Listen: apple.co/glovesoff #GlovesOff #CanadianSovereignty #MilitaryReadiness #Podcast #ArcticSecurity

Marche understands that “the problem is not regular Canadians”—they quickly grasped the threats and changes needed to disentangle. Instead, politicians, policymakers, and institutions need to get with it. And @cbcnews.ca should abandon the ‘regular person’ trope. It’s tired and cliché.

Thank you to Piya Chattopadhyay for having me on The Current to talk about the challenge of disentangling from the U.S. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Listen I'm no armed forces stan but civil war expert Barbara F. Walter makes an interesting point on @stephenmarche.bsky.social‬'s podcast that "the institution I have the most faith in holding onto its loyalty towards the US constitution is the military." shows.acast.com/684c7e9c6770...

What can Ukraine teach us about preparing for disaster? Journalist @timkmak.bsky.social lived through the invasion—and he says Canada isn’t ready. 🎧 Listen On Episode 4 of Gloves Off #GlovesOffPodcast #Ukraine #Canada #EmergencyPreparedness #MiddlePowerPolitics

🇺🇦 What can Canada learn from Ukraine? Refugees. Warnings ignored. Authoritarian neighbors. In Episode 4 of Gloves Off, we explore how Canada can avoid the same fate with @timkmak.bsky.social @avindman.bsky.social 🎧 Listen now: shows.acast.com/gloves-off #GlovesOff #Ukraine #Canada #Democracy

I look forward to it! I have found this series to be interesting and informative. All Canadians should give it a listen.

Y’all should be listening to this podcast.

Episode 3 of Gloves Off, up now, is about how we can separate ourselves from the economic orbit of an acceleratingly insane United States. If you haven't heard it yet, today might be the day. shows.acast.com/gloves-off

I'm only a couple minutes I to the episode and he says who knows what'll happen by this comes out, it'll probably be crazy and 😭 2025 politics is a mess

Read @stephenmarche.bsky.social book 2022 The Next Civil War . It was prescient. So his new podcast intrigued me. And “Gloves Off” doesn’t disappoint. A riveting take on Canada’s current situation and how we navigate it as a country.

@amazonmusic has made Gloves Off a featured podcast. #PodcastsOnAmazonMusic
