You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

“Man's inhumanity to man Makes countless thousands mourn! … Yet, let not this too much, my son, Disturb thy youthful breast: This partial view of human-kind Is surely not the last!”

On Truth Social, Trump is seriously calling this shooting a "cover up" for the fraud that the administration keeps inventing. They will not change course. They will not admit they were wrong. They will continue doubling down until they're removed from power.

Making a baseball reference in a story about a municipal budget meeting. February must be near.

"They stayed a little back." America is the only country that has ever called for help from NATO. NATO answered, thosuands of allied troops fought and hundreds died. Every time he belittles this, global fury at this guy and the nation that elected him grows. Americans will not be forgiven.

Better late than never

After the World Trade Center was attacked (just four miles from Trump Tower), more than 40,000 Canadians in uniform fought alongside their U.S. allies in Afghanistan. More than 2,000 Canadians were wounded. These 158 didn't make it home. And now this guy is giving lectures on gratitude.

Go fuck yourself Donald

Trump just told Davos: "after the war we gave Greenland back to Denmark." America never had Greenland. It was governed — and defended — by the Danes and Greenlanders throughout WWII. www.bugeyedandshameless.com/p/read-the-d...

All the more reason for Canada to offer its fullest support to Greenland

Here is the full text. Any signatory to this is nuts. It is fully the whims of Trump. www.timesofisrael.com/full-text-ch...

For me, one of the most disconcerting things is the near-total void in political engagement from vast swaths of U.S. society that have been deeply political at other times in my memory, not that long ago. The arts. Music. Movies. TV. Pop culture. It’s by far the least political moment in my memory.

On this day in 2012, Sarah Burke died in a training accident. Born in Barrie, Ontario in 1982, she was a five-time Winter X Games gold medalist and a World Champion in freestyle skiing. She successfully lobbied for the superpipe skiing event to become an Olympic sport.

A lot of crappy shit is happening these days, but this is pretty cool, and hitting a milestone of sorts today: www.nasa.gov/mission/arte...

Major Canadian news outlet openly musing about whether the government should engage in outright personal bribery. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

So tired of these headlines

Well fuck

Sometimes being a community journalist is fun, seeing things and talking to people you'd never usually get to do. And other times, you send out a dozen interview requests and the only emails you receive are generic pitches from PR companies on stories that have nothing to do with your beat.

I'm quote tweeting my own reply because some Jays fans might need to see this tonight.

I did say yesterday I was ready to get hurt again.

Heyman struggling cause he can’t use the Jays as the secret boogeyman team

Today would be a great day for the Jays to announce the Tucker signing

The their/there mix up is just a chef's kiss on this batshit crazy post.

Let's have some fun, folks. National Post comment editor Carson Jerema wrote a dreadful column about -- what else -- pipelines. I'm going to take it out to the woodshed. nationalpost.com/opinion/cars...

That's weird, just last year he seemed so confident on how much tariff money they'd receive and who'd pay them.

Still too much denial in Europe, with too many clinging to the notion that nonconfrontation, persuasion, and appeal to shared national interest will get the U.S. government to change course, but more Europeans are recognizing the unsubtle pattern.

"A previously planned second wave of attacks (for...reasons. Definitely not trying to get people to stop talking about Renee Good)"

NEW: Iran’s capital, Tehran, is now BURNING 110 cities across Iran have seen unrest and protests against the ruling regime in the last 12 days The only thing more remarkable than the scale of this revolution is the negligence of mainstream media in covering it. Scenes below in Tehran tonight. 1/

Sen. Shaheen (D-NH) and Sen. Tillis (R-NC) published a bi-partisan statement condemning recent rhetoric by the Trump Administration regarding Greenland.

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

Canada, like other western states, is worried about alienating Trump. But that just invites isolation next time, when it's your turn over the barrel, and everyone else stays silent for fear of alienating Trump. Democracies worthy of the name must stand together for the rule of law, or fall apart.

It'd be kind of funny if prosecutors fucked up the Maduro case. And not entirely out of the realm of possibility.

Can we just stop and put this into perspective: Our Scandinavian allies put out joint statements today condemning the United States, and Denmark went as far as explicitly threatening military action while hinting at a potential invocation of Article 5. That’s genuinely fucking insane.

Refreshingly clear-eyed editorial in the Globe and Mail: Venezuela's fate is a warning for Canada. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/edit...

Congratulations Venezuela, you're free now as long as you do what we tell you to do.

NBC News: “How soon will elections be held in Venezuela? Within 30 days?” Rubio: “Elections? I think it is premature at this point.” The US is going to be there for the long haul.

Props to @repdangoldman.bsky.social for stating this plainly: "This violation of the United States Constitution is an impeachable offense."

This quote really gives off sexual predator vibes. www.cbc.ca/news/world/t...

This is how you do it. No preamble to swear to God you don't like Maduro.

My cousin (Canadian-born, but has lived in Philly for years) was detained in ICE custody in Pennsylvania for over 1 year, all over a work visa issue. He was held in a cramped facility with over a hundred detainees per room. He endured psychological hell. He witnessed suicides of other detainees.

Canada needs to take see the invasion of Venezuela for what it is - a deliberate attack on the international rules based order. We have a bandit nation on our border and we need to be ready for whatever comes next. charlieangus.substack.com/p/venezuela-...

Best thing I’ve read this morning, from a human rights lawyer in Mexico. Translation is in the ALT-text.

Might also be time for Ontarians to ask Ford if he still thinks his Fortress Am-Can crap is a great approach

The next time the Trump administration tries to force a western leader to the performative cock gobbling displays to boost his ego is going to be interesting.

Happy birthday to Becky Kellar, born on this day in Hagersville, Ontario! In her hockey career, she won three Olympic gold and four World Championships. In International competitions she had six goals and 22 points in 55 games.
