wtf is a FIFA peace prize? that's like being an NFL laureate in physics

If someone says "buy my military equipment or else" then they're not your friend. They're a threat.

From today's Globe front page: #ONpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

I trust that all those writing op eds about Canadian productivity, GDP and growth, and urging Canadian policy-makers to emulate the American economic model, will be issuing apologies and changing their talking points. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

Buy the ticket, take the ride.

CPAC is absolutely vital and if we can't find the (relative) pocket change to preserve it what are we even doing here.

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture

If I have hot takes on the MOU itself, I guess they are: -This maybe solidifies the industrial price, but was the cost too high? -The pipeline question still looms and I don't know how it resolves itself -This is a big reminder of how hard it is to hold things together

Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built. Remember when people thought he wasn't good at politics? www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/27/o...

When your ambassador is SO deranged that Time Magazine says, "Yeah, that quote sounds real".

"Imagine you stole all of the intellectual property in the world. And you're using it to help people write middling emails and make revenge porn about women, and also children. And you're powering this plagiarism and non-consensual porn machine by eating up what's left of humanity's carbon budget."

Well put by @drrachelbarr.bsky.social

My new favourite tie. Note the gothic script The Globe ditched in 1990, and the orange stripe, which was once an ill-advised colour in our branding -- long before we had any colour at all in the paper. One authority says it could be from the early 1970s. As I am myself.

cnn, fox put trump's call to execute democrats below the fold on their homepages as of 11:40est, ap, abc, ny times, nbc are not covering it

I wish it made sense but this company, about which the government allegedly had enough concern to send an audit to the OPP two weeks ago, told me it still got $240,000 in taxpayer cash just last month. #ONpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Trump in response to an Epstein question: "ABC, your company, your crappy company is one of the perpetrators. I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and so wrong. And we have a great commissioner, a chairman, who should take a look at that."

My god. My god. Oh fucking hell. God.

[FDR stares directly into the camera]

We’re pro America. And pro people with critical thinking skills.

From an official government account: "Womp womp." It is not just that we are ruled by morons, but our tax dollars are paying the salaries of morons who possess the emotional capacity of a Doberman in heat. x.com/DHSgov/statu...

BREAKING: Secret Skills Development Fund data obtained by @thestar.com reveals Labour Minister David Piccini doled out millions to low-scoring applicants. E.G. owner of @TheTorontoSun and the @nationalpost got $1M despite a 41.68% score. #onpoli www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

A scoop from our Laura Stone, with an internal memo from Ford's chief-of-staff: "If anyone attempts to discuss any of these organizations with you, please end the conversation immediately.” www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Here's what we know -- much of it thanks to The Trillium -- about a forensic audit, which the province forwarded to the OPP, of a company that received $40-m in taxpayer funds, including some from the controversial Skills Development Fund. #ONpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Slow news day. Hard to know what’s the lede.

NEWS: The UK is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal, sources familiar with the matter told CNN. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/11/p...

NEW: It has been more than 30 days since the Eglinton Crosstown LRT started its revenue service demonstration. Metrolinx won't say when the tests will wrap up, but did confirm they're now in the latter part. #Onpoli #Topoli globalnews.ca/news/1152146...

Doug Ford and the PCs continue to lead in Ontario, holding majority-level support. But beneath the surface, there are signs of voter fatigue and questions about progress on key issues. Read the full findings: abacusdata.ca/ontario-pcs...

Listening to a podcast. Heard again that this is the largest federal deficit ever run outside of the pandemic. Still nope. bsky.app/profile/aaro...

The goal is to make all of us afraid to speak up about (or report on) whatever he does next...

It’s such a bad idea, when one of his crimes was calling forth an insurrection, that he’s actually forbidden from holding the office by a constitutional provision, which a unanimous Supreme Court invented a way to turn off.

Quick thread on the BBC and the political and societal significance of recent developments: One of the main reasons the UK has historically been so much less polarised than the US, is that Britain has a shared source of information, consumed and trusted by most people regardless of their politics.

The Ford government refuses to release earlier assessments that found “risks to public safety from impacts of the tunnel to Highway 401 such as potential for roadway collapse” globalnews.ca/news/1151718... #onpoli

It’s appalling the British Prime Minister has not actively stood up for the BBC amid what is transparently not anything like a bias problem but a deeply petty nitpick of its periphery functions by partisan folk appointed by previous governments that hate the broadcaster

This story, on a controversial Ford government training fund the opposition calls a "slush fund," required a lot of work because the government has refused to just provide a single, complete list of who got money and how much. #ONpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Honestly, $50B over ten years for a country as big as Canada will barely be noticed www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

There is crying in baseball 😥

If the game hits 2am Eastern the score is reset to an hour before and everyone has to repeat exactly what they did to preserve the space time continuum, thems the rules

I am starting a class action lawsuit against whoever invented baseball.

HANG IT IN THE LOUVRE

Hoo boy. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...
