Hey, what's wrong with the history section? Be honored!

I should have known better than to read this, but I got curious, and that was a mistake. Now I'm angry and I'm probably going to have to write a scathing blog post about it. It shouldn't surprise me, and yet it does, about how many of our "elder statesman" pundits are so fucking ignorant.

#OTD (Mon, Jul 16) 1917 in #AlgonquinPark -1 of 2: "Charles Scrim reported that Tom Thomson’s body was found in Canoe Lake by Geo. Rowe this morning about 9 a.m. I reported to Mr. Bartlett over phone & he wired for the Coroner & County Crown Attorney." @csnrec.bsky.social @nichecanada.bsky.social

True but Brit MPs hold their leaders accountable and remove/replace them easily. In Canada, you have to practically destroy your party, spend millions and wait months to make a change, so leaders always stay too long. We could use some to their quick turnover, no?

Wot, no footy today?

USA is going home. (Belgium 4-1)

WINNERS!

Did everyone forget the part where the #CanMNT ARE IN THE KNOCKOUT STAGE OF A WORLD CUP?? 🤯 Okay, we didn't top the group to stay in Vancouver. Great. We're still out here making history – let's go write more 💪 😎

Edmund Burke, English politician, philosopher (1729-97), founder of the philosophy of conservatism, speaking about Acadians: «We did most inhumanely and upon pretences that, in the eye of an honest man, are not worth a farthing, root out this poor, innocent, deserving people, whom our utter

NAH MESSI WHO MBAPPE WHO THIS IS CANADA 🍁 #CanMNT

Happy birthday to Christine Sinclair, born on this day in 1983 in Burnaby, BC! She spent 20 seasons with Canada's national team and is the all-time leader in international goals among men and women with 190. She has a star on Canada's Walk of Fame. 📸 Jennifer Gauthier

Only good thing FIFA has done in Toronto is rename BMO Field as Toronto Stadium. Why not make that permanent? What is a bee-moh anyway? #cmnt #worldcup #tfc

Banning social media for kids - great idea from Olds. Costs little. Not really enforceable, if the Australian case study is any guide. The kids are generally using this tech as messaging. To talk to their peers. Olds are often suspicious of teenagers talking to each other. Don’t get me wrong…🧵

Congratulations to @canadashistory.bsky.social 's and James Gillespie for Honorable Mention, Illustration.

Surely it is Parliament as a whole that is devalued, not just the QP show

Looking forward to being back on #PEI next weekend for this @nichecanada.bsky.social event, a keynote public talk by @dagomardegroot.bsky.social, &, oh yeah, the @cndhistassoc.bsky.social conference. #cdnhist #envhist niche-canada.org/2026/05/24/s...

How'd I find myself rocking at the 'Shoe with the Grievous Angels and @charlieangus104.bsky.social? Just lucky I guess. Elbows up!

In light of everything going on with Alberta right now, may I recommend this slight volume. It’s very quick and readable, and essentially points out how referendums are just elite fuckery.

Would be even more powerful is we had lived up to them in the last 150 years.

Canadian leaders have always stayed too long. Because the choice to stay or go is left entirely to them. Compare Mulroney to, eg, Thatcher.

Conestoga did plenty wrong. But most of it was approved by the provincial government on a nod and a wink. For the province to come in and put the college under administration now, on the basis of an audit it has not publicly released, is some serious bullshit.

Why doesn't this sort of thing happen in Canada a lot more? We don't lack for failed leaders.

Save the time change

If they write history books, call them historians. There are good and bad historians, but it's not a protected designation.

Who cares about the British line of succession? Declare the Canadian throne vacant and trust the GG to do the job.

Utter forelock-tugging cringe. Why must so many Canadians be like this?

I co-wrote historical sim games for the Icon. Did you play The Bartletts?

This is an amazing ad. Regardons-le tous.

AOC on Trump’s oil embargo of Cuba: “What has transpired is that now it’s kind of become acceptable that the entire Western world will look the other way as they starve & deprive a people because they find political actors or political regimes in that country to be objectionable”

Though they did catch the booing of JD Vance

Gem coverage with endless ads ruining all the key moments of the Winter Olympic Opening ceremonies is a new low for #CBC

Saute kale in a little olive oil and some chopped garlic. Toughness and bitterness all gone.

Queen's has released its Bicentennial Vision document today, a strategy for what the university will be as it enters its third century in 2041. The terms "arts," "humanities," and "social science" do not appear anywhere in this document #cdnhist

Shouldn't cultural sovereignty matter too?

NEW! For today's Saturday Star, I wrote an opinion piece on the value of historical plaques that commemorate events such as the story of Conrad the Raccoon - they are good community investments for so many reasons! #TOHistory #history www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Welles performs his song "Join Ice." Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.

Canada lives despite the United States. Remember that, Mark.

Sometimes I wish I could get just Canadian Bluesky. The endless flood out of the United States can get to be just too much. Know what I mean?

The last time parliamentary accountability applied to a Canadian PM. How long, how long?
