“Ronald Reagan loved tariffs” OK, meemaw, let’s get you back to bed

Mark Carney could remove the emissions cap, the tanker ban, and anything else Danielle Smith demands. Her proposed pipeline still wouldn't get built because the business case for actually filling it gets worse with each passing day. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2025/10/23/o...

I think Cory Doctorow really put it best Conservatives think everything in the past was different from what is really was because they are remembering it from the viewpoint of childhood naïveté

Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.

This was a powerful speech, made moreso by the presence of Debbie Almontaser next to him, who was hounded out of the city Dept of Education because of the same smear tactics from the New York Post and the rest of the Islamophobia industry.

New from me: A presentation I gave Wednesday assessing PM Carney's record to date. My argument: his rhetoric disguises a pedestrian, status quo-oriented agenda that's preventing Canadians from having an honest debate about both the costs of deeper integration and of resisting US authoritarianism.

“How dare you quote us accurately!”

Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

God-fearing conservative open to fearing everything else as well

Inside the Hermitage, the winter palace where Tsar Nicholas II and his family lived before they were executed—in a country where Russians were starving.

An upside [for Canadians] to the deterioration in the Canada-US relationship is that Ottawa is now more open to the idea of adopting EU standards over US ones. Hopefully this continues to building standards as well. motorillustrated.com/volkswagen-c...

A democracy isn’t (just) an electoral system. It’s also a culture of deliberation, debate, sensitivity to public concern, attention to social movements and community leaders, respect for civil rights and minority interests, free expression and association and due process. How’s your country doing?

Bertrand Russell to Oswald Mosley. Perfection.

Hakeem Jeffries was just now on Chris Hayes and refused to endorse Zohran Mamdani. I can't even.

@chapmans.ca Way to go Chapman's!❤️ "🏆 Chapman’s brings home the title of Ice Cream Maker of the Year 2025! 🏆" Ice cream leaders from around the world voted and Chapman's came out on top!

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

Ford blames Jays playoff ticket gouging on asshole premier who scrapped Ticketmaster law in 2019

Billionaires are not your friend. They will never be your friend. They will gladly sacrifice you in a millisecond if it means they'll make more profit. I don't understand why these are the men who are being trusted with our planet's future.

Mamdani is already getting the criminals out of NYC!

New York City is not for sale. Our new ad begins airing tomorrow.

Q: but what if a full Epstein investigation also takes down Bill Clinton????? A:

The CBC maintains an account on X - but not on Bluesky (nor on Mastodon.) Why? I asked CE0 Marie-Philippe Bouchard and Editor-in-Chief @brodiefenlon.bsky.social when they appeared at the Senate Transport and Communications Committee this morning. #CBC #SRC #SenateofCanada #cdnpoli #X #Bluesky #TRCM

it is so abundantly clear that mamdani's position on palestine is what is driving schumer up the wall. it's kind of pathetic at this point.

This is the asymmetry in our politics and media. If this was the other way around, Biden had pardoned someone then charged with trying to kill Trump, it would be the biggest story in America and every Republican commentator, congressman, news outlet, would be screaming about it in unison.

"Take your own side"

The main achievement of the tech industry has been increasing the flow of money from people who make or do things to people who already have more money than they could spend in a hundred lifetimes

Only Melinda Gates, who met Epstein once and cited him as a factor in the breakdown of her marriage..., sensed what apparently none of these people could...: “I regretted it the second I walked in the door.

#REPORT | Israeli occupation forces beat the wife of Palestinian civilian Majed Mohammad Dawoud, who was shot dead this morning, as they dragged his body through the streets of Al-Ain camp in Nablus, occupied West Bank. (19/10/2025)

Just in from #Gaza: Morten Rostrup, emergency doctor, working inside Al-Aqsa Hospital, describes receiving dozens of wounded after the Israeli airstrikes across the #GazaStrip yesterday It killed more than 45 people and injured over 150, according to the Ministry of Health.

"Yes, yes, it *is* sad that you lost the family farm, but have you heard about the big beautiful ballroom that President Trump is building at the White House? It's going cost a quarter of a billion dollars! Yes, billion, with a b. ... What? ... No, you can't come see it. What a stupid question."

America is being run by people whose social media presence would see them getting fired from a part time job stacking shelves. If you worked at Aldi and posted a video of you pouring shit all over Aldi customers, you wouldn't work at Aldi.

This photo accompanying a news story about the heist at the Louvre is perfection.

🚨 This is inexplicable news to share. If in Alberta and you want flu and covid shots for NEXT year (2026-2027), you have only until December 15 of THIS year to order them. This is not incompetence. It’s a deliberate choice to prevent as many people .. bookvaccine.alberta.ca/vaccine/s/pr... 1/2

Our recent poll found that women 28 and younger skew substantially more left than the national average. Nearly 80 percent of Gen Z women want abortion to be legal and seven in 10 want gender-affirming care to be accessible for trans adults.

I didn't take pics but the feeling of being in a group of people with no visible beginning or end was so thrilling. The opposite of online anomie, and a living counterpoint to the wary, isolated, compartmentalized world the shitheads want to make. It's simple and obvious I guess but it means a lot.

It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin. Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isn’t inflation or supply chain—It’s corporate greed. Now—California will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!

Heat waves, droughts, floods, and extreme weather affect the economy and the financial system. Ignoring the risks doesn't make them go away.

One of the less understood beauties of a transition to a renewable economy is: you cannot invade a country and steal its sunshine and its wind, and you will not need to. The uneven distribution of fossil fuel, esp. oil, has corroded geopolitics for more than a century....

As the richest guy in the world, Musk could leave one hell of a legacy. He could solve world hunger or build Carnegie-like centres of knowledge. Be the kinda guy whose name lives on for all the right reasons Instead he's chosen to stoke race hate, wreck twitter and appoint himself Wanker of the Age
