Hey—that’s more like it! Feels like a long time since the media called us Communists, & I’ve missed it! #NDP

Reminder to next dem government: take all of SpaceX’s federal contracts and give the money back to NASA.

In #LdnOnt the poor old LTC is a favourite punching bag. Turns out, as this article shows, they run a pretty tight ship but are underfunded by parsimonious Councils (who also like kicking LTC around). Read more: strongtownslondon.com/articles/far...

Stephen Lewis’ work and advocacy to counter AIDS as a UN special envoy represents the very best of what Canada and Canadian can achieve when we put our hearts and mind to work. We have lost one of our best. 💔

Editorial: Here’s why Avi Lewis is the wrong choice to lead the NDP – by a centrist Liberal

Actually Canada would be immensely better off if we’d elected Tom Mulcair’s #NDP in 2015. Instead of going for a flim flam artist who achieved nothing in 10 years of government.

Nation almost excited to see how bad Via Rail can get after Carney’s spending cuts (podcast)

The UK betrays the promise of a university: that students will be mentored in scholarship by people who are actively engaged in it. Unlike a secondary school, in a university the frontier between what is known and what is not is moving, and students can see that movement and participate in it.

Attention universities:

A female sperm whale has been filmed giving birth for the first time, supported by 10 adult females who lifted the calf out of the water and protected it from predators

Wikipedia cementing its status as the best thing on the internet and an indispensable site of resistance to technofascism and enshittification.

Seems like a failure of historical memory not to name this airport after Pierre Laporte (it's where his body was left by the FLQ after they murdered him).

Too familiar. Such a shame. And by too many universities - such a self-inflicted wound if they only could see it.

Were we going to expect any pushback from Carney or his Toronto MPs on this?

Never not shouting that this is DOUBLE wage theft, from the staffer who should be doing the work, and from the reimbursee forced to do it, purely for the purpose of channeling often public university funds into private app developer coffers and it sucks.

Market manipulation. The timing of Trump threats (usually Friday nights) then backing down (usually early Monday mornings) on war and tariffs tell you all you need to know.

This is astonishing—a rhetoric steeped so deeply in New York's ethnic history, in grass-roots urban progressivism, in the immigrant experience in the United States. It's not "you should be in solidarity with others," it's "you always have been, we all always have been."

"I'm standing here in front of you guys because an English professor ... read something that I wrote —it was the first assignment when I was 17 years old, my freshman year— and said 'Hey I think you should go to Hollywood and write screenplays.' Literally said that to me."

It’s truly a disgrace to Canada’s corporate bootlicking media that we have to read the NYT for stories like this—as with their coverage of Irving’s reckless use of glyphosphate in NB last year.

Of course they asked a chatbot to do it for them. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/07/a...

The US and Canada go to Daylight Savings Time tomorrow morning.

Last year, this guy (left) from DOGE used ChatGPT to find NEH grants that were too “DEI” for Trump, and canceled them, including mine, as shown by the letter I received last April (right). Huge new NYT article on the back story link below

Here is @ndp.ca’s statement condemning US-Israeli military strikes in Iran and calling on the Carney government to defend international law

Trump and Netanyahu have made a dangerous gamble in Iran. Why is Carney cheering them on? #Opinion

Here's the joint statement by the UK, France and Germany that I wish Carney had made on behalf of Canada. Horrible look on him and Canada. www.elysee.fr/en/emmanuel-...

“To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole.” Judgment of the international Military Tribunal at Nuremberg, Germany.

The hell with Trump, the hell with Khameni; and the hell with Mark Carney for endorsing this madness. Poor Tehran.
