This rehabilitation of Stephen Harper is a joke. He is (and has been since 2018) the Chairman of the IDU, which supports right-wing governments all around the world. They have aided the resurgence of fascism throughout the world, and as the Chair, Harper has had a direct hand in this.

I always used to hear people say that Americans needed the second amendment in case the government ever turned fascist. Weird.

Apparently they are turning The Lost Boys into a musical. Of course, the most important question, is how will they handle the most important character in the film? Of course, I'm talking about saxophone guy.

What does sustainable theatre look like beyond major cities? 🎭 On Stageworthy, Phil Rickaby talks with Tim Porter, founding Artistic Director of Tweed & Company Theatre, about building a professional company in a rural community — and why serving audiences matters more than chasing prestige.

So, a lot of powerful and rich people visited Epstein's island and did unspeakable things to children, and there are not going to be any consequences for that? They just get to go on as if its business as usual? Do I have that right? 😡

In a normal world, the fact of a name being in the Epstein files would be enough to bring someone down. Every person named must be investigated. Every person named needs to be shunned at the very least. Ever person who harmed children must be prosecuted. Regardless of who they are.

If all these oligarchs named in the Epstein Files are totally innocent, surely they’d be in favor of an independent investigation into Epstein’s crimes. Right?

The Epstein Files reveal that the world's most wealthy and powerful men are either raping girls OR have absolutely no problem with other perverted men raping and trafficking girls as long as it helps their bottom line. I can only hope this infuriates the majority against the elite.

Arrest and prosecute.

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.

This is why we need more support in Canada for Canadian-owned media.

Pay attention folks. Danielle Smith and the Alberta MAGA machine are using the Donbas playbook. This isn't about "independence" it is about sedition and subservience to Trump.

Looking for A Google Workspace replacement. Must be located outside of the US and not use any American servers.

As I brace for a weekend of -20C weather, I am chuckling at the CNN reporter calling the -9C temps in Greenland "brutal".

The only proper response Dems should be giving is: Defund and prosecute. America needs a real alternative to conservatism, because the Democrats aren't it.

Let it die.

Gotta love how these Americans go to other countries and tell them how they should feel.

America: I don't know how you think we can ever trust you again. 🇨🇦

'Canada lives because of the U.S.': Trump You don't need anything from us, but you beg us to return to your tourist destinations. You don't need anything from us, but you beg us to put your booze back on our shelves. Sounds like you need us more than we need you. www.cbc.ca/news/world/l...

“One notable MIT study found that 95 percent of companies that integrated AI saw zero meaningful growth in revenue. For coding tasks, one of AI’s most widely hyped applications, another study showed that programmers who used AI coding tools actually became slower at their jobs.”

The fact that 40% of Americans still approve of the president is why the rest of the world won't be able to trust the US for a very long time.

Phil Rickaby talks with Gabrielle Martin, Artistic Director of PuSh Festival, about curating global performance, arts leadership, and the realities of producing large-scale interdisciplinary work in Canada. A thoughtful look at care, risk, and sustainability. 🎭

Fuck off.

I don't think Americans understand: when you finally rid yourselves of this president, things don't go back to normal with Canada or the rest of the world. The US is now an unreliable partner. It will take decades to regain our trust.

Not even 7am, and I've already reached my limit for news today. The tension and anxiety is pretty palpable. Time for a break.

After seeing how the US is treating its own citizens, why would anyone in Greenland, Canada, or anywhere else want to be part of that nation?

Doug's obsession with hurting Toronto continues. www.torontotoday.ca/local/city-h...

Unbelievable that SDCC is going to allow AI-generated artwork in its art show. “The art show fills up fast” it says, but taking away space from actual artists to feature slop is ok? I hope they change their policy on this, but as it stands, it’s a slap in the face to real human artists.

When America finally rids itself of its fascist leaders, there will be many who have cheered them, who will try to deny they ever supported this. But the internet is forever. Though they may try to scrub their histories, they will have left enough evidence that they will never be able to hide it.

🚨 NEW VIDEO 👇🏽This puts an end to all the lies. Horrific. They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him. Stop the lies.

Pretty sure this is how Anne Frank died.

The video exists, and it's very clear. This was not self defence.

As Stageworthy marks its 10th year, Phil Rickaby talks with Joe Szekeres (Our Theatre Voice) about theatre criticism, community theatre, constructive reviews, funding pressures, and why Canadian stories still matter. Listen now.

Doug Ford is a grifter. Everything he does has one purpose: to make him and his friends richer. He doesn't want what's best for Ontarians. He wants what's best for the billionaire class.

A short time ago the band Low Liminal approached me to use parts of my Poem "Krampus Night" in their song "Twas the Night Before Krampus". They just released the song today, and it's pretty good! Give it a listen! youtu.be/ZCfGOO_UALw?...

This guy knows that as a member of the opposition, he would never be part of trade talks. But when they rebuff him, he can get all offended. So more rage baiting from the rage baiter. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

When the US finally rids itself of its wannabe dictator, it will take decades of effort and work on their part before the rest of the world ever trusts America again. If years of trust and partnership can be undone by one man, then it never meant anything in the first place.

Its worth saying again: I have no interest in reading a book no one cared enough to write, or look at a painting no one cared enough to paint, or watch a movie no one cared enough to make. These things take time, and they take craft. And that makes them worthwhile. It makes them matter. #fuckAI

Investigate everyone on the Epstein list, regardless of who they are, what party they are, left or right. It doesn't matter. If they are on the list, their actions need to be brought to light and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Every. Single. One.

"have you tired, just not being poor?" meidasnews.com/news/jon-hus...

Just weeks ago, MAGA figures vowed after Charlie Kirk's assassination that they would never celebrate or mock the death of a political opponent. They didn't mean it. boingboing.net/2025/12/15/m...

The president has no class. What a way to comment on the death of anyone, let alone a beloved filmmaker. Absolutely a piece of shit person.

Thr reason why formerly conservative MPs are crossing the floor is that under Mark Carney, the Liberal Party has essentially become the Progressive Conservative party.

When politicians claim that private providers are more efficient than public, they are outright lying. A private company's goal is profit, rather than service delivery, which results in poorer services to extract more money. It's quite simple.

This week on Stageworthy, Phil talks with performer/producer Stephanie Malek about the magic of improvised musicals, Bad Dog Theatre’s community, and creating Holiday, the Improvised Musical. Plus insights from The Fandom Show. Listen now!

There is a really suspicious campaign to try and turn Canadians against the idea of auto-filing for taxes. A lot of countries do this, so I have been wondering who is behind it. I haven't found the source, the skeptic in me wonders if its tax filing software companies.

This on top of the constant greedflation really needs to be addressed. The grocery monopolies need to be broken. If only Canada had some anti-trust laws with teeth. www.cbc.ca/news/busines...
