“A report by the CBC revealed that Pierre Poilievre hired the team behind Canada Proud to ‘boost his messages online.’ The organization has since been caught running disinformation campaigns targeting Mark Carney. Canadians deserve to know every last detail about Poilievre‘s ties to Canada Proud.”

I did a deep-dive into Ben Mulroney's extracurricular activities: At the same time as Mulroney is filling-in as host of The West Block, he is also working for two registered lobby groups and as an adviser to several companies – some of whose CEOs he's interviewed on Global News 640 Toronto radio

HI CANADIANS ARE YOU ANGRY ABOUT CHARLIE KIRK’S FURNERAL ON CBC? Yeah, me too. The guy who’s helmed CBC during this pivot to the right is [email protected]. Complain to the CRTC, the government division responsible for overseeing the CRTC about what was ostensibly KKK rally: www.crtc.gc.ca

In 1933 Nazi Germany passed the Schriftleitergesetz, which required media to follow mandates and instructions handed down by the Propaganda ministry. It required editors to omit from publication anything “calculated to weaken the strength of the Reich abroad or at home.” #JimmyKimmel

This is from an interview with a Canadian political writer Ron Graham by @PaulWells. If you want to understand the collapse in Canadian journalism and writing about politics, look at the line that says people are being paid the same per word as they did in 1970.

@mattgalloway.bsky.social Surely you did not let this comment pass as if it were true?

She was Fonzie's grandmother, Mrs. Tremond on Twin Peaks, Happy Gilmore's grandmother and the Marble Rye lady on Seinfeld. You may not know her name, but you certainly recognize her. This is the story of Canada's Frances Bay! 🧵 1/10

SCOOP “I have folks claiming my information is all over 4chan telling me in the same breath that they hope I get ‘raped and killed’" @rachelgilmore.bsky.social tells me, after her information was posted to a site called Charlie's Murderers www.wired.com/story/right-...

Yesterday Andrew Scheer threw a Canadian reporter to the conservative wolves and today Pierre Poilievre is quote tweeting JK Rowling on the subject of fundamentalism and authoritarianism. It never really was about the carbon tax.

Lorne Greene was many things through his life. He was an inventor, an acting teacher, a celebrated broadcaster, a singer and, of course, a great actor. He may have been most famous as Ben Cartwright on Bonanza, but he was so much more than that. This is his story. 🧵 1/16

Make Israel nothing but a bad dream. End it. Death death to the IDF.

Once again, there is a bill in the Senate that would do the same thing in Canada, and it very nearly passed in the last Parliament because the NDP teamed up with the Conservatives the Commons. It needs to be voted down in the Senate this time before it can head to the Commons.

If you live in Canada and believe you're immune from an Orwelian future, please be aware that the Edmonton School District just banned 200 books, including six of mine, from its school libraries.

"AI is just a tool" says tech mogul who is just a tool

One suspects that most of the trade law ignoramuses yapping about 🇨🇦Canada dropping retaliatory tariffs on US NAFTA-compliant imports are unaware that apart from China, no other country had applied such tariffs against US goods - ie they all folded and went in with elbows down. 🍁🍁🍁

Well, a couple of things… A minister’s referral under s. 107 is not against the Charter. Invoking it got everyone back to the table with a deal within 24 hours. The labor spin that this was a defeat for the govt doesn’t hold water. Arbitration usually results in win for labor. #cdnpoli

I forgot about this!!! #StandWithAirCanadaFlightAttendants #cdnpoli

Need to up this guy's engagement

Both the Star and CP just wrote up Ford's comments, and left out the fact that he obviously didn't read the ruling and just decided to petulantly lie about it. Neither story pointed out the judge said that Ford's government didn't try to make their case, and blatantly lied in what they did say.

Smart! Raven loves winning Tic Tac Toe.

Canada’s the only country having over 60% with a tertiary education. This isn’t a numbers competition: it explains Canada’s values, “Education can promote gender equality, reduce child marriage, promote peace” Education promotes decency. #CanadaNice worldpopulationreview.com/country-rank...

I have been writing about the bail issue for years. Nobody wants to listen. #cdnlaw #cdnpoli

It's shameful that Canada's Conservatives are politicizing Canada's independent and impartial police and courts for arresting, trying and convicting the leaders of the Freedom Convoy. They sought to topple Canada's government and ignored the law. The Conservatives don't care about the law.

Most people may not know the name Laura Sabia, but she had a major impact on Canada. Thanks to her work, many major reforms came to Canada in regards to gender equality. This is her story. 🧵1/10

I haven’t done one of these in awhile. Let’s see how it goes… For the next 30 minutes, ask me anything.

Here's that CTV News clip. This was filmed at Alley Cat Cafe... not my living room.

In a shocking geopolitical twist, #Greenland has rejected #U.S. interests and signed a massive #miningdeal with #Canada. The multi-billion-dollar agreement gives Canada exclusive access to #rareearth #minerals and critical resources long coveted by the U.S. #cdnpoli youtu.be/nqZ9jrN9J-4

I travelled 10,000 kilometres across Canada by train. It was the most eye-opening way to learn about this vast country. The rail offers a window to the past, a mirror to the present and a front-row seat to Canada’s greatest spectacle: its landscape.

Holy smokes this chart from Bloomberg NEF.

Question Period dominated by questions about high food prices. And I am confused. For I was under the impression that eliminating the carbon tax would solve that problem.

TIL that the CBC has a bigger global online audience than @wsj.com or @washingtonpost.com. CBC 🇨🇦: 103.2 million monthly visits WSJ 🇺🇸: 97.2 million WaPo 🇺🇸: 89.5 million (Overall top 3: @nytimes.com 657M, BBC 550M, @cnn.com 515M.) pressgazette.co.uk/media-audien...

Say what you want about Stephen Harper, but he’s the only CPC leader to win an election so far this century. 🇨🇦

Post-recounts, the Liberals finish just 60 votes away from a majority government. A reminder that every vote matters. (41 back in Nunavut + 12 back in Terra Nova + 4 back in Windsor + 3 votes to win each riding by 1)
