Thanks for the kind words, but the boycotts aren't an act of solidarity. They are a revolt of everything US because we are insulted & over this toxic relationship. We are polite, not pushovers. We've moved on & are deepening our relationships with those who respect us. It's not all about you.

It’s easy to forget after so many years of war that Zelensky was a brilliant comedian before becoming president.

Lemme explain what the words BELIEVE WOMEN should mean. They don't mean you have to believe women no matter what. They do mean that you have to treat women as a source the same way you'd treat a man.

“Farage Whinges About a 'Media Pile-On'. The Truth Is, the Media Made Farage” At every stage of his political career, the Reform UK leader has been helped on his way by the media machine he now affects to despise. And he is still manipulating them with ease.

The absolute bullshit mythology that Jason Kenney, Danielle Smith, and the whole of the federal Conservative caucus have pushed, and that legacy media has largely credulously swallowed is just amazing.

Seems Carney is trying to make good on his promise that the Canadian military will no longer spend $0.70 of every dollar on US hardware.

Trudeau treated Alberta like so much garbage that he bought and finished a pipeline to tidewater for them, kept approving oil sands projects (that didn't get built because the world price of oil crashed), and he said repeatedly that it didn't make sense to leave those resources in the ground.

Air Canada says it’s cancelling or delaying several flights to some U.S. destinations this winter amid higher jet fuel prices and a drop in demand.

Canadian creator of ‘The Pitt’ earns Emmy nod

I'm sure the champion of fiscal restraint and wasteful gov't spending will be encouraging all Canadians to sign this petition, as will all his morally consistent CPC followers who howl over the elites and their lifestyles on the public dime. Finally, all Canadians can unite! #cdnpoli

My latest for "The Only Way To Fight The Plague": On the Nakba display, the desire for context, and Marc Miller's contribution to a long history of Canadian complicity with human rights abuses. #cdnpoli

Nigel Farage is not the most verbally and physically attacked MP ever. Jo Cox and David Amiss would have something to say about that but they’re DEAD Oh and Sadiq Khan is the politician who has had the most threats against his life

Norway will always be the GOAT of the energy transition. Instead of talking about the future, they proved it could be done & showed how. In 15 years, new car sales went from 0% to 99% electric, while the rest of the world kept arguing about timing and speed. #Bettrification #EV

The idea that inserting a profit-motive into the health care system will make it better, is only something a huge fucking dumbass would argue.

Here's a columnist of an otherwise reputable Canadian outlet (Globe & Mail) casually arguing that we should try privatizing health care instead of properly funding it. Canadian media is in a worse place than I thought.

Ireland passes bill banning goods from Israeli settlements

Amazing reporting here that details how Mark Carney led the Canada/EU rupture with the US.

"They just want to turn it off." A fascinating story of the librarians who have started teaching classes showing people how to remove AI "features" from their phones and apps. www.bangordailynews.com/2026/07/02/m...

In small towns across Canada, there are museums that document the history of the area. They contain items you won't find in larger museums, and they are typically run by volunteers. youtube.com/shorts/9y8r1...

In 1970, David Milgaard was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Gail Miller. He spent 23 years in prison for a crime he did not commit, but his mother never gave up and fought for his release. This is his story. 📸 Saskatoon Star Phoenix 🧵 1/12

No matter what happens now, this World Cup will always be remembered as the one where the political leader of a participating nation leaned on FIFA to have the rules thrown out for his countrymen and FIFA caved. FIFA needs a purge. #cdnpoli #uspoli

An Israeli airstrike killed the Egyptian Relief Committee's public relations director, Mohammed al-Wahidi, in Gaza City on Tuesday His killing comes as Israeli strikes continue across the Gaza Strip amid the ongoing war, which has devastated the enclave and killed tens of thousands of Palestinians

Anubis called me to say he's chillin' with Mitch McConnell and he has out the scale and the feather and hoo boy, things are not looking great

Canadian politics in a nutshell: imitating an unhinged American war criminal while dressed like a fancy bag of milk.

Master de Adder's depictions are always spot on.🎯

"Flooding the zone" is generally filling the news with nonsense and malicious distractions, not a busy legislative and international trade agenda. Trudeau was criticized for having a lazy and unproductive legislative agenda - the opposite of "flooding the zone". #cdnpoli

NEW: Pierre Poilievre once again parrots Pete Hegseth’s call for a ‘warrior culture’ in the military. www.readthemaple.com/poilievre-ag...

I adore you Leon, Egyptologist here, they were built by a largely volunteer force (corvée labor) of 25,000. The builders were very well fed, paid in bread and beer, and received excellent medical care. There was no slavery whatsoever, it is a common misconception.

Taxpayers are expected to cover 90% of the cost of the proposed new West Coast oil pipeline — despite promises it would only go ahead if privately funded. "If this was a smart economic venture...a private company would have put up the cash." More in @theguardian.com ⬇ #cdnpoli

2/2 This shit was so predictable. A bunch of greedy, pencil-necked Milhouses smashed a functional service apart on the fiction that privatization is "always good." Folks who depend on those services pay more out of pocket & get less.

1/2 The birthplace of universal healthcare has had a load of public services get "Red Lobstered" in the name of free-market ideology. Private capital comes in. Bleeds it dry like a parasite. Breaks everything. Flees when it's unprofitable. Tommy Douglas would be embarrassed.

PM Carney to Norwegian PM: "Interoperability also means sharing crews. And in the next World Cup, if you could share Erling Haaland with us, that would be greatly, greatly appreciated."

A new survey finds that American Jews are just as likely as all Americans to believe Israel is guilty of genocide, and that more American Jews approve of Mamdani than of Netanyahu. apnews.com/article/isra...

Will the new series naturalize settler colonialism the way the old one did? Will the Osage be rendered animalistic and exotic? Their dispossession framed as natural, inevitable? Will we hear it again: “no people, only Indians”?

If you think Trump’s corrupt intervention didn’t significantly contribute to #Belgium’s devastating win over the USA team, you don’t understand sports psychology and the power of motivation. #WorldCup

www.sasktoday.ca/sports/wcbl-... My daughter won 2 tickets to the Berries game last night. Our second Berries game this summer and they won both times. It was a beautiful evening to watch a ball game. Go Berries.

Trump was greeted with an immediate snub after touching down in Turkey for a NATO summit.

Albertans insist on nurturing their grievances. Fine. They might want to think a little more about the ones they have with their own provincial governments -- and the scale of damage their decisions have done. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/07/07/o...

This piece by @cwalcottyyc.bsky.social in @livewirecalgary.bsky.social is brilliant. Before my church, St. Stephen's Anglican Church in the Beltline, decommissioned our church hall kitchen, we'd serve 300 people breakfast on the first Sunday of Stampede. 1/ livewirecalgary.com/2026/07/06/w...
