@marcellodicintio.bsky.social: I wanted Canadians to understand that Alberta separatism, at its heart, isn’t motivated by equalization policies, Senate seats, carbon taxes or oil. These tired complaints may ride shotgun on independence, but bigotry drives the truck. #canpoli #abpoli

“For every half-wit decision by a poseur in a 42-long, slim-fit suit, they report even harder. This ethic has been especially true in the renowned Sports section, which was killed in a Zoom announcement notable for its belly-wriggling cowardice and self-owning incompetence.” Read this. Please.

“For better or for worse, what people most admire in Canada, certainly more than success, is the capacity to endure,” Stephen Marche writes. “What liberal democracies need now, more than ever, is the sheer will to go on, without nostalgia for what once was.”

"You don’t need to be a scholar of public int'l law to know that if Alberta is sovereign, Canada isn’t united. If Canada is united, Alberta, as a sub-national province of Canada, is not sovereign. ... Suffice it to say you can’t have your sovereignty both ways." thewalrus.ca/danielle-smi...

what a whirlwind of a performer. RIP, Catherine O'Hara
