Also, talk about the intent: to play big boy while #Ontario is in the midst of an affordability crisis, to reduce accountability by having his travel expenses flow through an operating budget. Tie it to Freedom of Information Act changes to show a pattern of fuckery. It writes itself.

Literal chat btwn me and my editor after publishing Friday's column: Ed: You need to write about the Gravy Plane next Me: Hang on, let's see if they dig in on this or bail before Monday

Ok, Doug, now reverse your FIPPA fuckery. #onpoli

TACO Doug. Just another way he’s like the dude. #onpoli

Waltz: We have a long history of committing war crimes.

Tech bros are basically That Guy From Your Undergrad Gender Studies Seminar, with a thesaurus and a bootleg copy of Mein Kampf Fancy words and pompous text. Thinking they’re the first men to ever discover this revolutionary new idea called fascism

Like, who could have seen this coming other than everybody?

He’s not your guy, John. #bluejays

University students brainwashed into liking frites with mayo, and siestas

Child: I know your name. Mamdani. Obama: What’s his first name? Child: Mayor.

This just may not be a good baseball team at the moment, friends.

Affordability, schmaffordability. He thinks you won’t care he’s buying himself a private jet while health care rots, the education system is dismantled, democracy erodes through FIPPA changes, & people can’t afford food as you’ll be so happy you can drink on a beach in a provincial park. #onpoli

I’ve been wondering why it’s bad that we allow floor crossers in our parliamentary system, but it’s OK that a party leader can lose an election and then simply oust a duly-elected MP to steal his seat.

Like they weren’t already an abhorrent enough baseball club.

Trump is going to impose a blockade to end a blockade to close a seaway that was open before they closed it.

I’m all for a Liberal majority but her? Really? No.

Just automate the whole thing, man

#BlueJays fans will remember Rodger Brulotte's voice from when an 18-year-old Vladdy walked it off in Montreal. This was a Brulotte trademark, born in 1989 from a Damaso Garcia walk-off. "“Da-ma-so! Da-ma-so! Da-ma-so!” "Vla-di-mir! Vla-di-mir! Vla-di-mir! “Bonsoir! Bonsoir!”

We had already decided we weren’t travelling to the US for the foreseeable future but this totally cements it

Don't forget your reusable bags when you go to the grocery store!

I became so utterly loathsome to my fellow man that the crowd of amoral financiers, biglaw partners, and major landlords at the steakhouses of Manhattan despised me on sight. Regretting nothing, I was nevertheless obliged to retreat to a West Palm Beach Ruth’s Chris for a moment of peace.

Yes, one child’s safety is worth disturbing peoples’ sleep.

Almost everything Doug Ford has said/done in the past couple weeks either could have come from trump’s mouth OR is aimed at making Ontario more American … or both. #onpoli

To be honest I think that this USA baseball team paying tribute to that USA hockey team is absolutely perfect. A single-circle Venn diagram of the absolute worst possible sports nationalism at the ugliest possible moment.

I've been around Ontario long enough to know that whenever they dangle booze in front of the voters like keys in front of a baby they're about to do something *unbelievably* corrupt. At THIS level of "Drinks Some Beer, Losers", I have to imagine Algonquin Park is becoming a chemical weapons plant

Ontarians: can schools and hospitals be funded properly? Can we get more houses built so people can actually buy them? Also, jobs? Doug Ford: how about you get to carry pepper spray, drive solo in HOV lanes, and we change laws to make it harder to suss out our corruption? #onpoli

With every move, Doug Ford seems a bit Trumpier. #onpoli

How different countries hype themselves up at the World Baseball Classic: Team Canada: wear hockey jerseys Team Italy: drink espresso Team DR: dance Team USA: invite Seal Team 6 member to make speech, the same Seal Team 6 member who also told young men on Twitter they would be his "concubines"

everyone at the sports bar is clowning on the shot of USA fans in Houston doing the "angels waving arms" move from Angels In The Outfield, implying the country that invented baseball needs divine Biblical intervention to beat a team with a pitcher who *retired 7 years ago to become a farmer*

So, who’s going to do something about it??? I mean, forgive this Canadian for having heard “they can’t do that - it’s illegal!” followed shortly thereafter by what amounts to an “ah, well, nevertheless” often enough in the last 14+ months to see no meaning here.

my latest roundup has links to stories on RFK Jr, Jason Lee, "bitcoin Jesus," music & dementia, that racist Rangers statue, the West Bank, Trump's war on science, Iran, Proton Mail, ICE, Richard Hell, anti-abortion zealots, all-day cafes, measles, Syria, and more: meadowparty.com/blog/2026/03...

We live in a time of terrible headlines and awful takes. Like "Carney calls for (former) Prince Andrew to be removed from succession." He didn't "call" for it. He answered a question about whether he would support it. #cdnpoli

DOW moves to distance itself from Pam Bondi.

The @nytimes.com, in its usual tone-deaf way, has an absolutely barf-worthy glow-up on Jamil Jivani today, & apparently opted not to find out anything about how Jivani is regarded here. Like, he’s considered a joke, NYT; even his own conservative party is trying to distance itself from him. #cdnpoli

This is the thing I miss since no longer feeling safe or willing to set foot in the US - Bisons games. Makes me sad.

I mean, there’s authentic video, so maybe less need to prevaricate.

This reminds me of that Frankie Boyle joke about how Americans not only come to your country and kill your people, they also come back twenty years later to make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers sad.

Can think of nothing more cowardly than pressing a button to shoot a missile that will land dozens or hundreds of miles away. Little bottle of water next to your desk. "Yes sir" and all that shit. Walking around saluting each other. Fucking losers. Killers.

From a UOttawa prof on Canada’s likely response (he was right):

He knew what he was getting himself into. Media needs to stop playing along with this narrative that they went there innocently.

First Jamil, now Genius (the most hilariously misnamed person ever). Pierre is going to have to explain why, if there’s so much daylight between his party and Trump there’s so little daylight between his own MPs and the demented orange louse. #cdnpoli globalnews.ca/news/1168850...

Also, it’s never too late in life to sign up for a learn-to-curl, which most local curling clubs hold. You can curl well into your golden years and there are a variety of adaptive devices available to assist with many physical limitations. It’s a really social sport - great way to meet people!

The Mexican president (whose obsequiousness toward trump is becoming a little nauseating) says there’s “no risk” of violence to people coming to Mexico for #FIFA WC games. There’s always some risk but in fairness, I think the risk of violence to visitors for #WorldCup games is greater in the US.

We do this here all the time

Pretty much everything Doug Ford does is aimed at ensuring things are harder for people who aren’t wealthy. #onpoli

Honestly, Bum Buford should have to list CP24 as a campaign donor. The amount of free advertising they give that walking thumb is remarkable. And it’s just based on being the laziest of “journalists”. #topoli

It’s a metaphor

Was just coming here to say this. Turned off CBCGem for the first time this Olympics. I don’t need to listen to that traitorous loser.
