The US is at war with Venezuela. No Congressional authorization, no public debate, no clearly stated goal, no casus belli, and a gradual ramp up rather than big opening, so many haven’t noticed (or deny it). But this attack removes the ambiguity. US is at war with Venezuela. With no end in sight.

PM Mark Carney meets with Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy in Halifax. Carney announces new support for Ukraine, including funds for reconstruction. Both spoke of Putin’s recent aerial attack on Kyiv. Zelenskyy will meet Donald Trump in Florida on Sunday to discuss the 20 point peace plan.

Thank goodness for Carney. Trump is on Putin’s side.

How did I spend Boxing Day? Reading a John Candy biography that I got for Christmas. It’s a real page turner! And, oh yeah, I might have eaten half a box of orange ‘After Eight’ mints. (Sorry. Not sorry!)🎄🎅🏻🇨🇦

One of the highlights for me in 2025 was joining @mjnabuurs.bsky.social & @coopspeak.bsky.social of @theresisters.bsky.social on their excellent new podcast. We discussed misogyny, femicide, & digital violence against women. open.spotify.com/episode/2fC0...

Looking good! Happy Holidays!

“Getting sick frequently at school is not inevitable, and it isn’t because kids are just harbingers of viruses. It’s more because the buildings they inhabit do not have adequate ventilation and filtration systems to reduce illness transmission,” @mjnabuurs.bsky.social said. (Archive 🔗 in next post)

Just filed my latest column, which will be published on Friday, Jan. 2, 2026. (There is no paper on Boxing Day—Friday, Dec. 26, 2025.) I am taking a much needed break over the Christmas holidays! I’m going to be spending time with family, skating, reading, & watching movies.🎄🎅🏻

Nothing is permanent. The light always returns. ✌🏻 💕 ✊🏻

Thanks for the amplification, @geoffypjohnston.bsky.social ! It was a great convo! Who knew yoga had such a sordid history (through no fault of its own)? #WomenWellnessAndWtf

www.thewhig.com/opinion/euro... As Christmas approaches and winter temperatures plummet, many Ukrainian families are left without electricity, light or heat due to relentless Russian attacks on Ukraine’s civilian energy infrastructure. Such attacks constitute war crimes.
