Last chance to see The Comeuppance at Soulpepper, Dissonant Species at Factory Theatre, An Orchid and Other Such Lilies at Red Sandcastle and How Do We Get Out of Here at HGJTC, all closing this Sunday. (con’t…)

Starbucks can end this today: bargain in good faith, resolve unfair labor practices, and stop the union-busting. Until then, workers are holding the line! #NoCoffeeNoContract

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

Really loved THE CHRISTMAS MARKET. Kanika Ambrose has such an impressive way of writing about Canadian immigration – she highlights the inequities baked into this country's systems without weighing down her stories or characters. My Critic's Pick review: www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/stag...

Today we pause to honour the courage and sacrifice of those who served and those who continue to serve. Their stories remind us of the cost of peace and the responsibility we carry to uphold it.

Did you know that in Canada, if a budget doesn’t pass the government doesn’t shut down? Federal workers aren’t furloughed. Funding for social services doesn’t dry up. Failure to pass a budget triggers an election. It puts the politicians jobs on the line. They get the budget passed.

One of these things is not like the other. Not sure how Poilievre's Conservatives can even pretend they are wrapping themselves in the Canadian flag when half of them are Trumpists. #cdnpoli

PM Mark Carney was talking about attracting foreign investment to Canada and listed reasons Canada is a good place to invest. A reporter pointed out that the U.S. has those things, too. What sets Canada apart? PM Carney: "Well, we have rule of law." ❤️🍁🇨🇦TEAM CANADA FOREVER🇨🇦🍁❤️ ❤️🍁🇨🇦VIVE LE CANADA 🇨🇦🍁❤️

Pleased to share my first piece for the Toronto Star! (Yes, it's about toilets.) Thanks to everyone who shared their #theatre washroom wisdom. www.thestar.com/entertainmen...

I didn't even *want* to lean on the barrier until I saw this cool guy doing it

Creative Industries Coalition: "As Canada faces unprecedented challenges globally, we need to build the infrastructure to tell our stories..." • chamber.ca/news/arts-an...

I'll never forget seeing OUR PLACE in 2022. Kanika Ambrose's understanding of the Canadian immigration system was clever and devastating, and written like a piece of music. Kanika opens two new plays this month: THE CHRISTMAS MARKET and MOONLIGHT SCHOONER. www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/stag...

America could NEVER have been ready for a President likeTrump

We are thrilled to announce that Rise, Red River by Tara Beagan has won the 2025 Governor General's Literary Award for Drama and a prize of $25,000. Get your copy today at www.playwrightscanada.com/Books/R/Rise...

The reduction in air traffic could affect up to 4,000 flights daily, according to NBC News.

The majority of Americans are good. We have heart. We have compassion. When we see others struggle, we want to lend a hand. For too long, we’ve been divided and pitted against each other by those who crave obscene wealth and power. Let’s change that. One election at a time.

Amarillo is one of the reddest towns in Texas. But I showed up because our campaign is not writing off any community. It was standing room only.

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning. This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

"Let me be clear: The president has both the funding and the authority to fund SNAP during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.” Gov. Andy Beshear

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

They are so good at this.

The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world: 'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..." chicago.suntimes.com/pope-leo-xiv...

Wonderful news that the Fleck Dance Theatre has been saved from permanent closure by the Toronto Stage Company which has signed a 10-year lease to ensure it remains a performing arts venue. Yay!! www.thestar.com/entertainmen...

Incredibly funny to watch the right wing going Oh so just because I love money and hate poor people I'm a bad Christian according to "the pope"???

REMINDER: A socialist act by a New Yorker was a major reason why polio was eliminated in the US.

This is how a real President is supposed to act

ACTRA Toronto Members are in the spotlight at the 29th edition of the Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival! From November 5th to 15th, 2025, Reel Asian will showcase two ACTRA Toronto features and one short: FINCH & MIDLAND, THERE ARE NO WORDS and KARUPY.

Champions. Change is hard. Same is easier. That is why all changes have a champion who made it happen. Co-creation is great; but without a champion it won’t happen. Champions are rare. Projects of all sizes, from planting a tree to transforming a plaza, or a city Anne Hidalgo

Thank you Blue Jays for a brilliant final game, stunning post-season and season. It was a privilege to have you represent Toronto and Canada. 🇨🇦

These guys don't get paid enough.

For the rest of the world, the single case of Mike Johnson refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva after her special election win, because Johnson knows her vote will tip the scales for the release of the Epstein files, is enough evidence by itself that the U.S. political system is broken and lawless.

Mexico doesn't shoot their innocent fisherman and legit commercial boaters.

Saturday Report 11/1/25 — Tear gassing trick-or-treaters: Noem’s new definition of American values... hartmannreport.com/p/saturday-r...

Food banks were already struggling to keep with demand. Then, Trump slashed $1 billion from crucial USDA programs supporting them. Now, thanks to his shutdown, food assistance for millions of Americans is about to try up. The perfect storm of cruelty.

Just so we’re clear… SNAP isn’t saved yet. A judge gave the USDA until Monday to decide how or if benefits go out. They could be delayed, reduced, or partial. Nothing’s guaranteed. Even if payments restart, states still have to reload cards and update systems, so delays are certain.

We're currently at the "Jesus didn't say we should feed people" portion of the fall of American Evangelicalism.

Proof has found its Broadway home! The first ever Broadway revival of David Auburn’s Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning play Proof, starring Ayo Edebiri and Don Cheadle, will play Broadway’s Booth Theatre. Learn more here: bway.world/slt8b

“If you can’t get a vote on your record, don’t play us against each other.” I’m grateful for the Rev. Sharpton’s powerful words of unity this morning and against the cynical politics of fear and division.

It’s okay to be glad that restaurants are doing stuff like this AND absolutely furious about the utter failure of the United States government.
