I find myself troubled by the replacing of the East Wing of the White House with the Epstein Ballroom, and I'm not even American!

I am very pleased to share with you Canada's 2022-2024 IRM Results Report. The public comment period starts tomorrow, Aug 15, and remains open through to the 29th. The report can be found here (the French version is currently being finalized): www.opengovpartnership.org/documents/ca...

Some thoughts from @profsmithsask.bsky.social and I on the case of Katherine Grzejszczak cfe.torontomu.ca/blog/2025/07...

An extremely rare sighting of the Lesser-Spotted Tariff #LoveOrnithology

WOW! Sloganeering Poilievre is polling behind in every demographic. “Rap the Crap,” or “Ditch the Bitch,” you might say.

Hey @uottawa.bsky.social tell all of Canada you're tone deaf to to the world around us without telling us you're tone deaf to the world around us... #DoBetter

I don’t care WHO you voted for. If you can’t admit these last couple months have been an absolute shitshow, you’re part of a cult.

Every time I hear Canadians who lean to the right on the political spectrum accuse people of being globalists I can't help but wonder how they reconcile that with the darling of the right, Stephen Harper, chairing the globalist International Democratic Union 🤔

YorkU is engaging in top-down academic restructuring, and the YorkU Faculty Association (YUFA), alongside their campus colleagues & students, demand it stop. In Feb, the admin announced admission suspension to over a dozen programs. Pls sign & share their petition actionnetwork.org/letters/stop...

Carleton University Academic Staff Assoc is currently in negotiations, bargaining for smaller class sizes & TA ratios, wages that keep up with inflation, & health benefits that include better access to mental health services.

PewPew's MapleMaga minions are really grasping at straws if the best they've got is to go after Carney's child. Colour me even more disgusted than usual with what the CPC has become...

So, with Felon-47's administration now openly defying court orders, is it still over-reacting to say the US is being led by an authoritarian regime? Asking for a friend...

I'm thinking that last night PewPew must have had the happiest and most peaceful sleep he's had in ages. JT gone and the carbon tax axed all in the same day!

Some food for thought as we move ever closer to a federal election here in Canada: Any candidate you can picture attending a Republican prayer breakfast is probably an exceedingly poor choice

Thou shalt fire Chuck Schumer.

Question for ChatGPT: Looking at the last 100 years of economic data, which federal political party in Canada can be empirically demonstrated to have been the most fiscally responsible. You must pick only one party 🧵

The massive export pivot Canada needs to wean off 🇺🇸 is legally IMPOSSIBLE without Indigenous consent to new roads, rail, ports, pipelines, etc. There is an extreme lack of policy thinking how to do this. That should be among your top priorities @mark-carney.bsky.social.

In the wake of the GOP's red wave a whole lot of people are having to change their portfolio pronouns to was/went

Spotted in London

Fasten your seatbelts. #Felon47 melting down...

Oh, a what now????? There's a "Russian-owned" steel plant in the US making armoured vehicles for the US military. And apparently, they have been falsifying the efficacy of the amour meant to protect US soldiers and our allies.

Chretien’s grit, Trudeau’s sincerity, and Carney’s seriousness. A powerful combination on display.

I reckon Felon-47 is going to be really PO'd once he hears about the trans-Canada highway...

Mighty big of President Musk to set a new precedent by allowing his helper deliver the #sotu

A perhaps not so crazy federal election prediction: Depending on how this tariff nonsense plays out, the contest may not be PewPew vs Carney but Ford vs Carney

At this evening's #SOTU the tariffs imposed on Canada & Mexico will be hailed as a huge bigly victory for the US. Shortly thereafter they'll be rolled back. Ya don't suppose Trump, his cronies, and his olibros are gaming the markets, do ya? 🤔

OCUFA worried about future of university funding following provincial election ocufa.on.ca/press-releas...

Tariffs against Canada and Mexico kick-in on same day as the SOTUA. Coincidence? I think not. Expect Trump to present this foolishness as some great victory for the US...

In a world of Wayne's be a Mike

Russia is following Nixon’s playbook—and it’s working. America is losing its hold on Europe and Canada, not because of Moscow’s efforts but because of the US's own choices.

Replacing NATO By @deAdder Substack: open.substack.com/pub/deadder/...

Can't wait for this to come out in just a few weeks!

A Predator movie where the Predator shows up in Washington DC, but gets all bummed because there are no spines for him take as a trophy.

Can't help but wonder how many of those who support the dismantling of USAID simultaneously claim they are pro life... 🤔

If Trump stays at Buckingham Palace with King Charles, Camilla, Melania, Elon Musk, Keir Starmer, Gordon Ramsey and J.K. Rowling, the Brits have the opportunity to pull off the most Agatha Christie-est murder of all time.

Some $180 million spent on a needless provinciall election that basically results in the status quo. Biggest change - now the provincial liberals likely to gain official party status. And, this is called leadership!? WTaF!?

BREAKING NEWS: Ontario has lost the 2025 provincial election
