“Restore merit, end DEI” says man who could only get elected in Canada’s safest Conservative stronghold

If you're in or around Halifax, come see me at the Pottersfield Press booth, between 1 and 2 pm this Saturday! Would love to visit!

Quentin Amundson wrote a lovely piece in The Catholic Register about Prophets of Love (MQUP), and the five-afternoon online class on Leonard and Paul I'm teaching for Atlantic School of Theology (still some spots open!) digital.catholicregister.org/Catholic-Reg... @mcgillqueensup.bsky.social

Today is both St Jerome's feast day and Canada's National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Believe it or not, I wrote something that brings those two subjects together: bibleandcriticaltheory.com/issues/volum...

Make no mistake, everything that’s happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media. Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are. Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.

So.....a German pilgrim and walking magazine has a lovely review of The Good Walk. With GTranslate's help, here it is in English! somethinggrand.ca/2025/08/31/d...

Such a delight to walk alongside @mrapomquet.bsky.social this weekend. 10 years since his first SK trail walk with our dear friend Hugh and the history & folklore society. Read a review of his book about that first walk: reviews.skbooks.com/good-walk-the/

Wishes you, pilgrim, no matter what kind of pilgrim you might be, a happy Feast of St. James. Here's my podcast on the Camino www.podbean.com/ew/pb-bp8gt-...

One might suggest to the prime minister that neither the efficiency nor the services of the CBC or Via Rail would be in any way improved by the purchase of $20 billion worth of F-35 jets, so we could start with the cuts right there.

Had a great interview with CBC's Sonali Karnick, about my new book: www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Personally, my boycott will stay irrespective of their tariffs. They have attacked & threatened Canada and continue to do so daily. And about half their country thinks that's just fine. So, tariffs or no tariffs, I'm done with them, at every level.

CBC/Radio-Canada was just named Broadcaster of the Year at the New York Festivals Radio Awards! 🏆 Matt Galloway’s The Current also took home Gold for On-Air Talent. While politicians threaten to defund CBC, the world recognizes its value. Public media matters. #SaveTheCBC

Staying in Canada this summer for your vacation 🚗 do you LUV waterfalls💦 look no further than the beautiful province of Nova Scotia. 🍁 #Canada #tourism #travel #holidays

In addition to recently winning a Sask Book Award for Publishers 2025, The Good Walk was a The Miramichi Reader non-fiction best of 2024 choice. This summer is 10 years from the day we set out!

I was deeply disappointed that my old (a million years ago) standby: Red Rose Tea, was an American brand.

Please continue buying & supporting Canadian! The threat isn’t over yet! Continue boycotting US & its products. Don't buy USA liquor!! #TradeWar #BuyCanadian #tariffs #abpoli #ableg #Alberta #Canada #cdnpoli #canpoli #USA #Trump

Looks like Every Little Thing is making a BIG impact! Pottersfield Press is thrilled to announce that the second print run of Janice Landry's new book, "Every Little Thing," has sold out in less than a month! A third print has been done so there are plenty of copies available in stores and online!

If he could just tone down the kindness, empathy, and competence just a weee bit, we Saskies would sure appreciate it.

Not sure we realize the role education played in vaccination and pandemic outcomes. Canada's high education level helped us weather vax disinformation. "education was the strongest area-level predictor of vaccination and booster uptake after controlling for age" pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Two things the Carney govt should do on top of all the good promises they’ve made: 1. Fulfill the Trudeau promise for electoral reform and make voting in Canada ranked ballot. 2. Make it mandatory to have security clearance for every party leader & cabinet of a governing party.

No one should face discrimination for who they are or who they love. On this International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia, we stand with 2SLGBTQI+ communities in Canada and around the world.

No that’s not the outrageous part.

I post this a lot, but the ticks are numerous and belligerent this spring, so here's a Saltscapes story I wrote with expert advice to help you stay safe. Among the most important tips: If you find a tick latched on, don't kill it before removal. That just makes it barf pathogens into you.

People who think this is a good idea tend to be deeply stupid.

Religion for Breakfast just passed 1 million subscribers moments ago! When I started this channel 11 years ago, I never could have imagined making it this far. New subscribers and old...thank you everyone for joining me on this journey, learning about religion together.

I really wish we still had conservatives instead of these revolutionary societal vandals. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

It's incredible to me we don't hear talk of impeachment for him musing about using military force to take Canada. If Americans ever wonder why we won't ever trust you again this is it.

The election is over but the MAGA onslaught against Prime Minister Carney and Canadian unity has only just started. In the gangster world of Putin, Trump and trolls, Canada is a threat because we are a democratic nation. My reflection on the coming storm. charlieangus.substack.com/p/the-coming...

First Nations groups fight Hudson's Bay Company sale of thousands of cultural and ceremonial items. Hear more on APTN News Brief:

Any person that wonders about Healthcare shortages Affordable housing High Utilities High Insurance costs Education shortages Etc. Are all under Provincial responsibility Facts matter

First day @stfx university is running its daily "news update" and there's my book launch! Thanks! youtu.be/iRTbp4HCuOw?...

Poilievre losing his seat is almost Shakespearean: Pretender to the throne riles countrymen with anger, gets defeated by guy with Joy in his name. It’s basically Macbeth.

We’re calling it: a white male will be the next Prime Minister of Canada

Listen, you may not feel inspired this election but the weirdos Poilievre has are, and they are marching out of basements to elect our first incel Prime Minister. I am asking you to vote not just for yourself, but everyone who would be harmed by him. #cdnpoli

Return every item to First Nations

Pierre Poilievre's latest campaign commercial (you know, with the old white men golfing) was non-union, and the actors were paid thousands of dollars less than they deserved. But hey, he stands up for workers and unions and wants us to have powerful paycheques! Just don't ask to see the receipts!

My choice for Pope:Cardinal Michael Czerny from Montreal. He was the Jesuit sent to El Salvador to face down death squads. He worked in Africa during AIDs. He was in Lebanon pushing for peace. He is a social justice warrior. And he married my wife and I. international.la-croix.com/opinions/we-...

Grateful for this nice write-up from HDS—and to stand in a line of scholars there (incl but not limited to Krister Stendahl) committed to making space for the slow hard work of multivocal knowledge-making www.hds.harvard.edu/news/2025/04...

This is what it's like being married to a Maritime Canadian.

Look at how people treat a server to get a sense of who they really are.Poilievre never even looks up from his paper to acknowledge or speak to this tech support person. Every other leader looks up and engages with them.Says everything about who Poilievre is as a person #canada #markcarney #cdnpoli

Because while we are tut-tutting about Trump’s America, the fall of the Washington Post, the exclusion of AP, the allowing of far right sites into the White House press room - maybe we should pay a tad more attention to what we are allowing right under our nice nice nice Canadian noses.

It suddenly occurred to me that Mark Carney‘s PhD experience came in handy during the debate last night. The free-for-all-section where each leader asked their question of Carney was just like a PhD defense. A series of random hostile questions from guys who don’t want to listen to your answer!

BREAKING: The ROM has confirmed to me that their board director — who I reported is tied to Trump’s mass deportations — has stepped down!
