My latest essay in the Where It Starts series that I am writing for A Letter From A Maritimer. Soon after Confederation in 1867, Nova Scotia wanted out of Canada. The Anti-Confederates leader Joseph Howe soon saw it was better to make changes from within. substack.com/home/post/p-...

If you are Albertan and cherish water over coal, you have fewer than 48 hours to sign Mr. Corb Lund's petition #DemocracyIsSomethingYouDo www.waternotcoal.ca

A serious one... because it's Monday. Recent reporting has found foreign accounts pushing Alberta separatism in Canada. People pretending to be local, stealing content, scamming Canadians, and warping political dialogue. That should bother everyone. It for sure bothers us. 👇

Summer is here and I will help kick off the season at the Cobalt Mining Museum with some underground mine tours. I will be leading the tour into an old silver mine on Canada Day and July 4. Book your tickets now through the Museum. The spots fill up fast. (705) 679-8301

Today I called on Anton Boegman, commissioner for Foreign Interference A to launch an investigation into American interference in the Alberta separatist campaign. Which White House officials met with the separatists? Who put the offer of $500million on the table? This requires investigation.

Shuler: A couple years ago, I was sitting in a room on Capitol Hill next to the big-tech billionaire crew. Those tech guys talked about their vision for the future, all the possibilities they saw. Guess what one word did not come out of their mouths: workers.

Zero is good.

Orrrr … we could go with the Truth that #MaritStiles is telling cuz just like #KamalaWasRight about #Trump Marit’s right about #DougFord & his #Tory government! #WakeUpPeople cuz #DonnyJohnTrump & Doug Ford are working for #Oligarchs not the #WorkingClass! 🤓 www.youtube.com/watch?v=7esZ...

If Doug Ford is going to continue spending our tax dollars on disgusting, fear-mongering ads like this, we’ll just have to keep making our own. #BewareOfDoug #DougFordIsCorrupt

Their day at the beach allowed us to have ours…. They died that we might live #DDay

Well, well, well.

Dear candidates in the Toronto mayoral race…

82 years ago, 14,000 Canadians landed on Juno Beach, many of whom would never come home.   On the anniversary of D-Day, we pause to honour those who served and sacrificed.

It is Indigenous History Month. Throughout this month, I will be sharing the stories from Canada's Indigenous history. Today it is Jean Cuthand Goodwill, a nurse who spent her life advocating for Indigenous healthcare.

The people who couldn't "secure" an electors' list — and don't seem too upset that the personal data of 3m constituents has been leaked and is on U.S.-based servers —just put ALL of your personal information in one place What can go wrong? Albertans should be terrified youtu.be/2perj3MlPKU?...

On D-Day I think of all the young Canadians lying in the fields of Europe. They died in their teens and early twenties to free the world from fascism. It is our job to hold the line against fascist gangsters today. Canadians will never run or break. Never have. Never will. youtu.be/3iatJivmU34?...

It looks like The Canadian Flag. Cheers Canada.

The emergence of Anthea, who may or may not be interested in catching butterflies.

THIS. Angela gets it.

Local woman wakes up, does a premier swap so every province and territory gets a little time with Wab Kinew leading before he becomes prime minister, makes oatmeal.

One year after lighting the first stove, WCK and HAS Haiti have served more than ten million meals across the Artibonite region—even as displacement reaches levels not seen since the 2010 earthquake. (1/3)

50 years ago this week the Sex Pistols played their first gig in Manchester. In no time at all the Buzzcocks, Clash, Siouxie and Banshees, Sham 69, were on the scene. They sound as intense and urgent after all this time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=227m...

Local province storms out of the house with their backpack, swears they're running away forever, gets to end of driveway and gets hungry, comes back home for snack.

Prayers for people from Mattagami First Nation and Gogama region who have been evacuated from the Timmins 9 fire that has doubled in size over the last day. Prayers for the fire crews and first responders.

Loud racism narrowly defeats quiet racism in B.C. Conservative leadership race

I'll tell you a secret: all mushrooms are edible, some only once.

Local politicians get office Christmas trees packed up just in time to unpack beach towels and water shoes.

My Granny was a mining widow who used to take me to a graveyard full of young men who died by breathing the quartz/silica dust underground. This article shows how a new generation working with quartz countertops are dying. There are no safe measures with quartz. labornotes.org/2026/04/coun...
