"Shock and awe"? Tunnels, highways, now this? Not only is Ford's language questionable and revealing, these massive construction projects in TO and his grandiose building plans seem to have less to do with the needs of the vast majority of Ontarians and possibly more to do with self-aggrandizement.

My @thestar.com column this week: there’s no science that can make sense of Doug Ford’s decision to move the Science Centre. The new facility will cost more and deliver less — and waste a whole bunch of time that parents and kids will never get back. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Not surprising. Science and education are not of interest or importance to Ford and his buddies. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

I'm just going to repost this because Rae's nuanced clarification of Canada's statement on Iran is helpful

"Paramount’s merger with WBD would ultimately leave the Ellisons in control of two of the largest film studios and two leading streaming services... It would also leave two major news networks, CNN and CBS News, under the heel of right-wing ideologues" open.substack.com/pub/oligarch...

Hey, Canada. Keep it up. 🍁 "Since the start of trade tensions with the United States, the Buy Canadian sentiment has been heard repeatedly in anecdotes and survey responses about consumer habits. But has it shown up in spending data? The short answer is yes." www.bankofcanada.ca/2026/02/spar...

Really worth a listen - and to the end, please. Rae makes important points. Wise, thoughtful commentary...

L’Iran a fermé le détroit d’Ormuz, crucial pour le pétrole, et menace de couler tout navire qui s’y aventurera.

That sound you hear is irony dying.

This is what happens when you take an empty suit and pretend that it's a journalist.

NEW FROM ME: While US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran this weekend, Global News' The West Block host Ben Mulroney reposted video of fighter jets that had been miscaptioned as American F-15s attacking Iran I double-checked. Ben was actually sharing footage from a video game

A Fifth Column in Canada, or in other words, traitors. Period.

For American presidents, the use of force has become too easy and seemingly risk-free, argues columnist @stephenwalt.bsky.social.

Pete Hegseth really is an astounding idiot who truly does seem to believe that the way to win wars is just to war crime harder than the other guy. Just an endless 'taking the gloves off' until your hands are reduced to bloody stumps because it turns out taking the gloves off usually doesn't help.

Remember that Donald Trump, Jr. is involved with both Polymarket & Kalshi — and the Trumps’ social media company is launching its own prediction market. Meanwhile, Trump’s regulators have announced they will fight any state that attempts to regulate prediction markets. Always follow the money.

Meanwhile in Canada, we shore up our connections, strengthen our ties with the nations of the world through trade and diplomacy. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

“They are terrifying because they seem untethered alike from policy goals and logic. Trump offered a range of half-hearted explanations for his rush to war, but the conflicting excuses only underlined the obvious truth — he attacked Iran because he felt like it.”

Thank God Congress isn't alive to see what's been happening in the United States

Ret. Gen. Mark Hertling just torched Trump’s Iran “strategy” as pure fantasy. A regime-change war with no phased plan, no endgame, and no clue what comes after. That’s not leadership that’s reckless improvisation with global consequences. #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/APdwXYZcBRN2...

The Bored of Peace’s first war.

Let me translate this: “A shit ton of your loved ones maybe sacrificed to keep the nation’s attention off the Epstein files. That is a sacrifice I’m totally willing to make.”

Using Terry Fox...shame on YOU, PP.

Joe Biden has warned that his presidential successor, Donald Trump, will attempt to “steal” the midterm elections, in a rare public address. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Hypocrite

Trump in 2011: “Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He’s weak and he’s ineffective.”

A lot of people are missing the realist part of Carney’s Davos speech. A world in where all that matters is might is not one where you go hard at the most powerful military in the world that is an undefended border away.

Tech billionaires, in addition to being socially inept and lacking empathy, also live in a completely deranged bubble where potentially murdering countless people means nothing to them. It’s a business deal. They are fundamentally incompatible with civil society. #OpenAI #BillionairesAreTheProblem

We are currently entering the dystopian future that novels and sci-fi movies warned us about. #OpenAI #BillionaireCorruption #USIsraelIranWar

Oh for f*ks sake. PM Carney didn’t start this war. He’s not dropping any bombs. He commented. Agree or disagree with his comments. But seriously - don’t blame him for death of children. I know this is only social media, but a perspective is useful. No, I won’t answer stupid comments.

Canada please remember there are no good guys in this war. The enemy of Trump is not necessarily your friend. Canada has made a statement that is entirely consistent with our longstanding position on Iran. Don’t let your justified hate of Trump lead you to think Canada should support Iran.
