The criticism is starting to get to him. He’s not psychologically capable of dealing with it.

Ugh.

Lot of people on the right crying about the Virginia redistricting vote. We told you this would happen while you were celebrating the illegal off-cycle seat grab in Texas. Stop playing stupid games if you don’t want to win stupid prizes.

Another day another strange technological manifesto to critique. open.substack.com/pub/danieldr...

Of course if it wasn’t for that fool Kenney we wouldn’t have Smith

Danielle Smith decided to open Pandora's Box in order to keep her separatist supporters at bay. Now the rest of us have to contend with the forces that she unleashed. #abpoli #cdnpoli thetyee.ca/News/2026/04...

Still boggles my mind how unserious Canada is about disinformation, considering the deleterious effect it is having on almost every aspect of our society. I’ve had serious conversations with serious people about it, and their eyes glaze over.

flipping through a proof of yet another book from a somewhat well known liberal voice diagnosing “where the left went wrong” and i’m struck, again, by the fact that a large part (if not most) of the liberal commentariat simply does not believe that the political right has agency.

These two widely shared images claiming to show the IDF restoring a statue of Jesus that was previously damaged by an Israeli soldier near Debl, Lebanon, are AI-generated and fake. A Google SynthID check finds watermarks that suggest both images were made with Google AI.

Lots of lies and grievance being spread on YouTube by unknown people from unknown countries in support of Alberta's independence movement. The Dishonest Online Campaign to Support Alberta Separatism via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/News/2026/04...

American combat deaths in World War I: 54,000. American soldiers killed by flu in World War I: 45,000. They would have given anything for a flu vaccine.

“What I didn’t know was that measles can cause long-term complications. A child can seem fine while the virus slowly replicates in her brain… Because both Britain and the United States are confronting outbreaks, I am sharing my story. Parents should know just how dangerous this disease is.”

Emails released on Monday by California’s attorney general show Amazon allegedly colluding with other companies to raise the prices of pet treats, khaki pants, eyedrops and other products sold online

At this point, you could argue that the damage Mandelson has done to Labour over the years by far outweighs the contribution he made to its revival in the early 1990s

I teach bystander intervention for a living & I spend all my days thinking about building community care, breaking isolation, etc. I wish more people understood how community banks, local grocery stores, door-to-door mail service, etc. are all tiny, but important ways that we build connections.

👏 Canada 👏 Post 👏 is 👏 a 👏 public 👏 service 👏 Nothing proves how capitalism has brain rotted everyone than thinking the post office, hospitals, public transit, libraries, etc. need to turn a profit to be worthwhile.

Why would anyone expect a public service to make money? If we're going to use this as a standard, how much money did the RCMP and the Canadian Armed Forces "lose" in the past eight years?

Trump issued an executive order claiming that Cuba “constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat” to the United States. In truth, William LeoGrande, a Cuba expert at American University, told me, “The evidence that Cuba is a national security threat is vanishingly thin.” wapo.st/4vLxQfs

Canadian doctors obeying a U.S. executive order that doesn’t even apply to Canada is deeply offensive to both trans people and to Canadian legal sovereignty.

A video from Hamilton in which Carney is seemingly heard referring to the use of emergency powers in fact uses spliced audio from a campaign event in 2025, where his comments were unrelated to Alberta separatism. www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/prairies_bc/... #Alberta #abpoli #cdnpoli #misinformation

Calling inflation caused by the rise in oil prices a made in Canada problem is so dumb that you can only hope they know they’re lying

It’s that time of year again: the switch from the spouse wanting espresso to iced coffee… it’s 25c on the balcony, but of course she’s not going to enjoy seeing snow again two days from now ;-)

Again: young people might not realize that this kind of repugnant racism was unacceptable to express publicly, *not that long ago*.

We are back to pretending that Trump is a rational actor and that the reason we don’t have a tariff deal is Carney. #QP

People forget: Anthony Furey was a *terrible* columnist, in every way

RIP a century of law enforcement attempts to infiltrate the Cosa Nostra. You would have loved the Prego Dinner Conversation Recording Device

Alberta Poli-Sci 113 Exam: please put these activities in the correct order --think up policy idea --send policy idea to a referendum --get referendum results --ignore referendum results --make the decision --take policy concept to the legislature for debate --implement what-ever

The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.

Trump, who said in the 2024 campaign that Kamala Harris would start World War 3, compares his war against Iran to World War II

Dunno who this person is but she's in all the videos they're posting.

weird eh who would have guessed

I'm starting to get the sense that referendums in Alberta are performative exercises instead of ways to resolve policy disputes.

Great journalism here: "The BBC... found a consistent pattern of spikes just hours, or sometimes minutes, before a social media post or media interview was made public. Some analysts say it bears the hallmarks of illegal insider trading..."

It would all be much nicer if everyone got along like they did in 1997, but that is not the world we live in anymore.

This harks back to plaintive pieces in German newspapers in the early 2010s about how Russia, Europe and America would for all the niggling differences still be stronger together

"And in an era when the United States has turned on its closest allies, the question has acquired a new urgency: Could Canada join the European Union? The answer, in short, is not any time soon..." Useful piece from @stevenchase.bsky.social
