@jamesnicholson.bsky.social and I talk grocery monopolies, private jets, Amazon, and whether my mattress is sufficiently patriotic.

Is Carney a YouTuber now? What to make of Carney’s new “fireside chat” @jamesnicholson.bsky.social hosts with Zain Velji

Checked in on the NDP leadership race and the future of the Canadian left with @lukewsavage.bsky.social With the centre-left vacated by the Carney's Liberals rightward shift, where should the NDP position themselves?

Fascinating to unpack the evolving situation with OpenAI, Tumbler Ridge, and Canada's approach to AI regulation with the inimitable @lukewsavage.bsky.social www.canadaland.com/podcast/1320...

I had a great conversation with James Nicholson about Canada's impulsive embrace of AI boosterism and the dangerous Silicon Valley ethos that's largely driving it.

 Somebody had taken a pound of PCP and dumped it into the chowder. We have a pretty strong suspicion who it was, although it was never proven. -James Cameron buff.ly/JisiIeY

First time in the host seat. Gotta bring out the "trade war with a chance of flurries" take

We sat all five NDP leadership candidates and asked them how they plan to bring their party back from the dead.

This game is like I got caught smoking a baseball and now I have to smoke a whole pack of baseball

Are we going to die Americans?

Canada is all talk when it comes to Gaza. Plus, the Nelk Boys sit down with Netanyahu. @noorazrieh.bsky.social hosts with @arshy.bsky.social of The Hatchet

Mark Carney rode anti-Trump nationalism all the way to the Prime Minister's office. Now Carney is passing Trump-like policies that could lock in new oil and gas for decades. Listen to San Grewal and I break down why on @canadaland.com www.canadaland.com/podcast/1190... @desmog.com

My first reported story for @canadaland.com and it’s about, what else? Crokinole

The UCP is facing 8 investigations into corruption, plus no fewer than 3 major public sector union strikes (all of their own making). The affordability crisis looms, as does a trade war with the US. Wildfires & measles are raging. And the premier chose now to clear a path for a separation vote.

In only two years, ChatGPT and the surge of AI-generated cheating from college students it has created have unraveled the entire academic project.

We left the Canadaland studio at 3am last night to make this episode happen…WAY PAST MY BEDTIME. Thank you to all the supporters who showed up to the watch party last night in Toronto. I loved meeting you all in person.

Shots fired!

I can’t stress this enough #journalism #localnews #bcpoli

There are?? Please enlighten me on these “warning signs” you speak of

Someone in Kitsilano has a very funny sense of humour. Apparently this isn’t their first installation either 😂

In a word: tariffying

Here is the data on fentanyl caught at US borders. The yellow line (Canada) is close to zero because the numbers are so small (50 lbs last year vs some 20,000 lbs from Mexico). Source: US Customs and Border Protection.

David Lynch died because he was no longer needed:

The "Hot Prime Minister" resigns to "bring down the temperature"--that actually tracks

Trudeau, "The Fighter," resigns due to "in-fighting"

Initially I was blown away by this investigation by the Toronto Star into UberEats, but the $1.74 per hour online figure just didn’t make sense. Why would anyone do it? www.canadaland.com/podcast/1079...

A legacy Canadian delivery service is being legislated back-to-work, meanwhile the new model for deliveries (in this case food) is a complete labour disaster. 🤔 www.thestar.com/business/i-w...

I'm sorry, what? I went undercover as an Uber Eats courier and made just $1.74 per hour online. Here’s what I learned about the troubling cost of convenience www.thestar.com/business/i-w...

Why has media missed the real story behind the Canada Post strike? And are employees scabbing.... for Santa? I'm back with the iconic @noorazrieh.bsky.social on today's show. open.spotify.com/episode/7xxS...

What typeface should be on your book cover? Well if you've had it with Helvetica and you're tired of Times New Roman why not revive a classic pulp font or two? Here's a list of some stand-out typefaces that are fruitier than Frutiger and louder than DIN 1451...

Crown Coporations don't lose money. They aren't meant to turn a profit. They exist to provide a service that cannot be fully met hy the private sector. Framing this as a loss is disingenuous and damaging to our society. #canada #cdnpoli #CanadaSky
