I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home. But did you look at the judge's order? It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept." Link to pdf: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Anyone see a problem with this? #Canada #politics #disinformation

Quebec politicians accusing Mark Carney of ‘rewriting history’ are guilty of doing the same “Carney doesn't see francophones as perpetual victims — as the CAQ, PQ and Bloc seem to — but as equal partners in building Canada.” An editorial by @mtltoula.bsky.social. #polqc

The Don River was once so polluted with waste, garbage + chemicals that it caught on fire. The water itself, which flows towards Lake Ontario, was so inhospitable that it hosted life’s very antithesis. Now, researchers are starting to see a rebirth. For @nationalobserver.com

Thanks to @mlehmann.ca for reposting this article on the photography of Lucia Moholy. Just how much wonderful work have we been deprived of because of racism, war or misogyny? #Bauhaus #photography #women

In an era of great power rivalry, Canada is choosing to be principled and pragmatic. To name reality, to act together, and to build what we claim to believe in.

"The powerful have their power. But we have something too — the capacity to stop pretending, to name reality, to build our strength at home, and to act together. That is Canada’s path." It's so refreshing to hear a political leader speak like a clear-eyed adult with a conscience. #Canada #Carney

Yes, it's snowing in the Outaouais. #Gatineau

Now that's the mark of diplomacy: telling your nearest neighbour and biggest trading partner that you don't need them. Perhaps Canada does not need this particular diplomat...

This is the flag of Greenland. A tremendous flag. Really beautiful. Some people are saying the most beautiful flag anywhere in the world. Incredible design. Strong, simple, very smart. No reason to change it. Nobody does flags better than this. We should absolutely keep it. Believe me. #Greenland

Alberta's separatists don't have to win a referendum to break up the country. It's time for Danielle Smith to realize just how big a mess she's made by encouraging their efforts — and other prominent Conservatives to help clean it up. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/01/08/o...

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

When I teach my seminar on coups we keep a running tab on how many regime changes were motivated at least in part by desire for oil or other valuable commodities...

Trump's regime has murdered people in the water. He has seized ships on the high seas. He has invaded a country and kidnapped their leader. All bets are off with the United States. Canada needs to build alliances with Europe and to be ready on the home front.

WATCH: Seriously, if you’re following ANY bike-lane debate, you HAVE TO WATCH this news story. You actually can’t make this up. Ford claims without evidence that bike-lanes are bad for small business, and THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION obliterates him with data. Safe bike-lanes mean business.

To the great shock of... absolutely no one.

Quebec's #Bill1 is a dangerous piece of legislation that will have far-reaching consequences both in the province and in Canada as a whole. A flailing CAQ proposes to rewrite Canada's constitution, reduce civil rights and create new powers for itself, all without public consultation.

“Though the Legault government refers to Bill 9 as ‘Secularism 2.0,’ this law completely betrays the definition and goals of secularism: neutrality of the state in all matters of religion.” Quebec’s Bill 9 is legalized discrimination An editorial by @mtltoula.bsky.social. #polqc

While North America is often seen as one big audience, the Canada-US border has long been significant to music. With a population that dwarfs Canada's, the US represents a huge opportunity for artists: that is, if they can afford to tour. thewalrus.ca/amid-buy-canadia...

A clever set of observations from @markcritch.bsky.social on... well, you know what it's about. "We may not have a lot of guns in Canada but we do have plenty of triggers."

Preemptive use of the Notwithstanding Clause by governments is an admission of failures. Failure to design policies and laws that can meet legislative and judicial tests and, more importantly, failure to respect the place of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in the lives of Canadians.

Issue 75 of @photoeditorial.bsky.social is now available and it's beautiful. I'm chuffed to have two articles in this issue, one on the border-related projects of Ruth Kaplan and Isabelle Hayeur, as well as one on the public Photo Walk developed by the School of the Photographic Arts: Ottawa.

Thank you @thewalrus.ca for an excellent set of reflections on Canada's sovereignty! PREDICTION: James Moore will seek the leadership of the Conservative Party. Watch him, starting around minute 47:20, and tell me I'm wrong. #canpoli #politics #sovereignty #Canada
