Two men who occupy prominent positions in Canada’s media landscape just travelled to Israel, where they received a briefing from the Israeli government. Yeah. What are journalism ethics anyway? Those men were TVO’s Steve Paikin and Global News’ Ben Mulroney:

Over the past few years, I've frequently criticized Brian Montague for living in North Vancouver. Today I'd like to formally issue an apology. It turns out he actually lives in Kelowna.

Harrell Says King County Public Health is "Failing Us," Talks Tough on Trump, and Muses About an AI Wall Where You Can Ask MLK What He Had for Breakfast The mayor talks to a friendly audience at event sponsored by Seattle's police union, We Heart Seattle, and the Discovery Institute.

And now for a report from the hellish, war-zone that is Portland

Anyways, support clean energy. CNN Article: Climate pollution from inhalers has the impact of half a million cars per year, study finds. Inhaler Study: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2839471?guestAccessKey=bd8422fd-fc45-4d27-8905-89b839b6fd60&utm_s #climatechange

Today I stood with @cupescfp.bsky.social and @canadianlabour.bsky.social leaders, flight attendants and other workers presenting my Bill C-247 to remove Section 107 from the Canada Labour Code.

Today in Politics Chat, I talked about how power sloshes around when a president is checked out, and noted that right now unelected officials like Stephen Miller are trying to grab it. But instead, We the People can take it back and create a better nation.

Brand Lander is such a rad dude.

HARDEST PHOTO OF 2025 JUST DROPPED

Democrats helped Trump sell the most successful video app in America to a bunch of his right wing zealot friends under the pretense of fixing privacy and improving national security

Unbelievable. For those who don't know, Kneecap has been highly critical of Israel, which has lead the UK government to go after them. At one show they displayed a flag of Hezbollah, and because of that were charged with terrorism. Canada appears to be upholding this. www.cbc.ca/news/enterta...

Re: Scheer's quote about Gilmore: "So much hate in her." Anyone who is not a cis, straight white man with money often gets called hateful, negative, difficult for standing up for themselves or others. I've been called all these things! Unfortunately, too many people don't know the difference.

What people need to realize is that no one on the right is actually offended by what Kimmel said. No one cares what Karen Attiah said, what Matthew Dodd said. They're being targeted because the administration needs to create an enemy or it will lose.

“The president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, stated in a televised address that the country will not return to the forced eradication of illicit coca crops after President Trump revoked the country’s US Drug Certification.” Good! Forced crop eradication is completely unsustainable & utterly inhumane.

Trump says Colombia uncooperative in the 'Drug War' Petro's supporters say US is interfering in elections next year. The declaration does not include sanctions. LATEST for PWS

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States. 🔗 www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

Why is everyone in Canada who is talking about Charlie Kirk, talking like we're the 51st state? Sandy and I break down what his murder means for Canada, how we should understand it and resist the purges that are coming here too. sandyandnora.com/episode-341-...

Why is JD Vance, a silicon valley technocrat popular with old conservative money, a VP who has largely stayed out of the limelight, suddenly EVERYWHERE in the news? Because shit is going down. Buckle up, this is going to be long.

More than 200 musicians demand Carney move away from fossil fuels. 'Canada is burning' reads the campaign's letter, signed by the @theweatherstation.bsky.social , Luna Li, Cris Derksen, @danmanganmusic.com, @sarahharmer.bsky.social and more www.cbc.ca/music/carney...

Since Charlie Kirk was fatally shot, people on the left have been censored, punished, and targeted with more violence for telling the truth about Kirk's legacy. The cycle continues: mainstream whitewashing of violence begets more violence and the victims are blamed. spitfirenews.com/p/the-nation...

🫠😄 He is exactly who he said he was. He ran on being Brookfield and Bloomberg CEO, and being the IDU's favourite and most loyal banker. Partisans just didn't want to see it. Carney is our Starmer. #IDUPlaybook www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Hiding in this story is one of the most WTF statements I've read in a long time. We live in an era where we are bombarded with more political advertising than ever, and yet registered third party advertisers have dropped from 154 to 99. This is a big deal. theijf.org/right-wing-i...

Remember: "CTV cancelled a segment on its national morning show fact-checking “election misinformation” after an online backlash from Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives and right-wing alternative media outlets targeting a prominent journalist." PP can sure spread lies, but he can't handle the truth.

“Foreign interference” is a reality. We’ve all been subjected to it for quite a while both directly & indirectly. It’s about who owns media/social media, and the messages they’re pushing. It’s a big reason Trump won, & they’re using it to help Poilievre too, including by encouraging vote-splitting.

Incredible. This is a system failure.

Are men okay? They are not

Surprise! Despite being one of the highest paid police forces in Canada, the VPD is going to overspend this year. The reason? "Protests" and the camera initiative it has been fighting for but apparently not budgeting for. www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

These people are incredibly weird. This is a private citizen that they've made life-sized cardboard cutouts of to bring to events.

The IJF's amazing new Alberta reporter @brettmckay.bsky.social has a great story today about the folks behind the Canadian Crime Watch page and whether it was created to dodge election laws on third-party advertising. theijf.org/right-wing-i...

This viral photo of a ‘Liberal Boomer’ is missing context. He was being harassed by far-right activists. A Liberal supporter is now facing doxxing and intense online harassment after an aggressive group of far-right activists crashed a Mark Carney event

How a man baselessly got called a pedophile by a stranger, flips them off, and is doxxed in major newspapers for doing so. Really great story that perfectly encapsulates a manufactured outrage machine that transports scapegoats from the grassroots far-right all the way to international news media.

The FBI just arrested a sitting judge.

I love how Lime scooters have to slow to 15km/h on Commercial Drive "for safety", but motor vehicle traffic...

i smell GUNNpowder I highly recommend that this be investigated thoroughly and quickly www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Jesus, I never thought I'd see this. Not in a million years.

90 days suspension for doing 120 over the limit while drunk! But remember folks, if I fail to check someone's ID when ordering a beer, I can lose my license to serve alcohol.

Masks are off, the Conservatives are now full on talking about making "being homeless" a crime. This is a terrifying prospect, and one seen associated with some of the most atrocious periods of North American history.

five years of coordinated effort by a Canada/U.S network of christofascist grifters, five years of dehumanization and violence against – your weird kids Canada failed to be who it claims to be these last five years and Poilievre is campaigning on the corpses for his closing argument

I keep saying, it's a global movement... www.desmog.com/2025/04/23/r...

When he was Prime Minister, Harper was the worst national leader in the democratic world. He was THE global dinosaur & obstructionist on the #ClimateCrisis, attacked science & evidence by muzzling scientists & gutting the census, & more. And that was all BEFORE MAGA. Poilievre will be much worse.

hey everybody this is super fucked up bonkers nonsense its not a reality-based platform also they're planning a wealth transfer to privately owned religiousish behaviour modification facilities seems bad www.conservative.ca/change/bring...

About fucking time. This should have happened 10 years ago. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

The "left wing media".

It's pretty obvious that the people who are pushing this "pro natalist" thing are the kinds of people who like to hide 14s and 88s in their writing
