It would have been nice for Canada to lead rather than follow, but it's time the Prime Minister joined Macron in recognizing Palestinian statehood. We voted for him to make moves that break from the United States and align more with Europe. This is one of those times.

It tears at the soul to witness the images of Palestinians being starved to death by Israel. As a Canadian, I want to see our government be more aggressive in pressuring Israel to let desperate children receive aid. It's a massive global moral failure that this genocidal campaign has been allowed.

RIP to the Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne. When Black Sabbath formed, the world was introduced to a sound so heavy it became its own category of music. Heavy metal, introduced with the captivating, menacing sound of the devil's tritone and Ozzy's haunting vocals.

CBS just cancelled Stephen Colbert after he called out the $16 million bribe to Trump. This is fascism at work, and CBS is cowardly and spineless in their appeasement. I hope Colbert goes to HBO, where he won't be cancelled for speaking truth to power.

Back to the Beginning will go down as an iconic moment in rock history. Ozzy Osbourne sitting on a throne of darkness, battling through a deadly disease to belt out songs with his band that gave birth to heavy metal. All in his hometown with rock legends paying their respect. That was metal as fuck.

Republicans went mask off today, confirming the deepest cynicisms of America. Taking healthcare away from people to subsidize the ultra wealthy, and to drastically expand the role of ICE to be the arm of an authoritarian police state. And then they'll wave the flag after pulling off this robbery.

The massive increase in ICE funding in Trump's Big Bullshit Bill is bone-chilling. ICE is a domestic terror organization that's about to expand in scope.

Whether the blame lies on the prosecutors or the jury, Diddy escaping any serious charges is a travesty of justice. The system favours wealthy men over abused women.

Happy Canada Day on one that hits different 🇨🇦. Our neighbour has turned to hate and hostility, but we are standing united. That’s a sense of national purpose we can get behind while respecting indigenous and immigrant rights, and not following the path of authoritarianism.

The Trump-picked Supreme Court just ruled that judges can not halt Trump's illegal executive actions. The same Supreme Court that ruled that he is above the law while in office. The United States is an autocracy.

Sure Rogers, lets get rid of the guy that brought the Toronto Raptors franchise from irrelevance to an NBA Championship, and then picked the Rookie of the Year as the 4th pick. SMH. Masai Ujiri will always be a legend of the city. Boneheaded decision by the shortsighted corporate owners.

Zohran Mamdani just became the next great progressive voice. He just showed Democrats what a masterclass winning campaign looks like. Bold and fearless. This feels like a shift in politics. An inspiring shift.

Congrats to Canada’s very own MVP, who just capped off one of the most dominant seasons in NBA history with a Championship. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander becomes a legend of Oklahoma City but he’s Toronto’s son! 🇨🇦

Canada must stay OUT of Trump’s war on Iran. Carney must remember that he was elected as a rebuke to Trump. There is no mandate to stand by the United States in this at all whatsoever.

Trump declaring “Now is the time for peace” right after initiating an act of war is 1984 style doublespeak.

This new US-Iran war is a massive diplomatic failure from Donald Trump, a direct result of pulling out of the nuclear deal that Barack Obama negotiated. Trump’s legacy will now include war in the Middle East.

Donald Trump just dragged the US into a war with Iran. Fuck this timeline.

It's insane to see the same Bush era warmongering from 2003 happening again in real-time when it comes to Iran. The same fear about WMDs, the same push for regime change. Have we all forgotten how disastrous American foreign policy was in that era, and how the war hawks turned out to be dead wrong?

As a Canadian, I won't be caring at all about America's North Korea style military parade tomorrow, but I WILL be watching and seeing footage of all of you ordinary Americans out there in protest. Solidarity from Canada. May the people on the streets be the story of the day.

Either Trump greenlit Israel's attack on Iran, effectively starting a new war and undermining any negotiation, or he was too weak to stop Netanyahu from going rogue. Whichever one it was, it's an historic disastrous foreign policy failure from a President of the United States.

Israel is completely unhinged and out of control. A new major war has begun because Netanyahu is a fucking lunatic.

RIP Brian Wilson. He was a true musical genius who was ahead of his time. Pet Sounds revolutionized what could be sonically possible in pop music production. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is probably the most transformative album in pop music history, and it was directly influenced by him.

Trump sending US marines to LA to stop protesters is his personal declaration of war on the city. I hope Americans view it as a betrayal. If ordinary people in a nation have to fear their own military, it's an authoritarian regime.

Israel has kidnapped the crew members of the Madleen and sabotaged their humanitarian mission. There needs to be international pressure to demand their safe release. The world is watching.

We just witnessed one of the greatest tennis matches of all time. God-tier tennis from the two greatest players in the world. Alcaraz with the greatest comeback of all time to win Roland Garros. Stunned.

People on the streets of LA are resisting fascism in America. Stay strong and keep up the fight.

RIP to one of the great Canadians, Marc Garneau. The nation's first astronaut and a stand-up civil servant back on earth.

This is a courageous form of activism and I applaud it. Shoutout to Greta Thunberg and Liam Cunningham for using their global recognition to amplify this initiative and pressure governments to act to stop the suffering of the people in Gaza.

Goodbye to the legends that produced Inside the NBA on TNT. The impeccable professionalism of Ernie Johnson, the humour of Shaq, the role player Kenny Smith, and the authentic charisma and great wit of Charles Barkley made it the GOAT sports talk show. What a run.

I'm not American, but it seems like it should be illegal for the President of the United States to suddenly revoke the legal status of Harvard's foreign students and bar students from enrolling. I welcome the best and brightest minds to seek Canada for their intellectual freedom and opportunities.

The UN warns that 14,000 babies are at imminent risk of death from starvation in Gaza from Israel's blockade of aid. This is a genocide in action. There needs to be an arms embargo and nations must suspend trade to Israel. The level of human suffering is unconscionable.

That musical scene in Sinners was one of the most finely crafted pieces of cinema I've seen unravel in the theatre in a long time. The brilliant blending of music, the cinematography, the choreography. I never thought I'd see such a sublime appreciation of blues music in a vampire movie.

The intentional blocking of aid by Israel to Gaza is a tactic of genocide. It's using mass starvation as a weapon on children. It's such a profound loss of our collective humanity that this has been allowed to continue.

The new American pope unfortunately means more centering of America on the global stage, but we can only hope he represents a rebuke of MAGAism and American extremism. Time will tell.

In the oval office, Carney showed discipline in knowing when to counterattack. He was able to shut down Trump's offensive suggestions and push back on a few points of nonsense. From the Canadian position, he conceded nothing while avoiding a negative tone. A smart, not loud, approach that worked.

Mark Carney just put on a masterclass in cordially telling Trump to fuck off about the 51st state nonsense.

This is consistent with the actions of an Israeli regime that is committed to carrying out ethnic cleansing and genocide. The world must condemn this.

Shout out to the class act, Jagmeet Singh. While he ultimately could not lead the party to larger electoral success, he leaves a good policy legacy, and he’s always held himself to high principles and genuine humanity. He’s a role model as a man.

Mark Carney will go down as the man that led the successful rebuke of MAGA-style politics in Canada. This is an inspiring win for this nation, on the world stage.

Québec came through like the Riders of Rohan.

It’s election day, let’s vote, Canada! 🇨🇦 🗳️ It’s the most powerful civic action you can do in our democracy. I voted Liberal to keep Conservatives and MAGA-style politics away from power and voted to defend our sovereignty.

My heart goes out to the Filipino community in Vancouver. To have a cultural celebration end in such a horrific tragedy is absolutely devastating.

Holy shit, Trump's FBI is arresting judges now. That's a blaring red alert moment. Americans of every political stripe need to rise up against this.

I'm not Christian, but I appreciated Pope Francis being a progressive voice in the Catholic church. He formally apologized for the church's role in the genocide of Indigenous people in Canada and moved the needle on the acceptance of LGBTQ+ people in the church.

The dynamic of Poilievre whining and moaning, then the switch to Carney responding poised and unfazed, and then smartly explaining a plan while everyone listens, is really making Carney look Prime Ministerial.

Senator Chris Van Hollen going to El Salvador to personally attempt to facilitate the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia is the kind of courage in leadership that people have been demanding from Democrats. Taking some risk in unprecedented times to do what's right. Respect.

So Poilievre's response to being accused of being too Trump-like is to suggest overriding our rights and freedoms so that he can make people die in prison. Vote to make this guy lose and lose hard. We don't need that shit here.

Trump refusing the Supreme Court order to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back is a constitutional crisis. If he's allowed to ignore it, it's not a government, it's an authoritarian regime.

Bernie Sanders at Coachella is rock ‘n’ roll.

This is a travesty. The mark of a fascist regime.
