The King’s reading of the Throne Speech: Sounds like the grownups are in charge again. albertapolitics.ca/2025/05/the-...

Prime Minister Mark Carney signalled he hopes Canada will be able to sign on to a major European defence rearmament plan by July 1, a step toward reducing the country's dependency on the United States for weapons and munitions. #cdnpoli #uspoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

How Pierre Poilievre Used Taxpayer Funds to Run a Permanent Campaign. While he was running this permanent campaign, we can strongly infer he was doing something else too: charging the public for it. #cdnpoli letterkenny.substack.com/p/the-dual-t...

Star Wars is 47 today. So here’s a classic of mine on celebration, where R2 plays the ABBA hologram for Obi Wan.

1 year anniversary of this version of that amazing song being released. It's gorgeous and unlike the one by Johnny Cash, it rips my soul out in a slightly gentler manner. youtu.be/g4UZRYShjYU?...

Good to speak with President Claudia Sheinbaum today about our strong trade relationship.   Free trade between Canada and Mexico has been a source of prosperity, jobs, and strength. We’re going to protect that critical partnership in the face of global economic shocks.

Hello. My name’s Pierre. Listen, I got voted out of my own riding 20 minutes from where I live for free because I was so busy rage farming I didn’t do anything for my own constituents but if you vote for me here 3300 kilometres away from where I live I will absolutely represent your best interests.

So there we have it. The news hath broke. @welovepulp are to release a new LP in June. I do hope you are excited. I, for one, am.

🇨🇦 As a central banker, @mark-carney.bsky.social led the push on understanding the risks climate change poses to economies. But will he have the same focus as Canada’s new prime minister? greencb.co/3GMiWjR

TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

The latest Andor arc episodes are amazing and a perfect match for the times. And full of very murky morality - if the Empire hadn't acted the way it did, a "hero" would have been the one recklessly endangering civilians.

OTTAWA – Senior federal officials have been looking quietly for ways to bring together Canadians who don’t see eye to eye on the economy, immigration and social issues.

OTTAWA – Prime Minister Mark Carney is expected to brief Canada’s premiers today following his seemingly successful first meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday.

White House chronicles

"Canada is not for sale." Mark Carney got his key message across, but also got an earful in return during his trip to the White House. My take for @theconversationca.bsky.social. theconversation.com/mark-carney-...

Carney to Trump: "There are some places that are never for sale ... having met with the owners of Canada over the course of the campaign, it's not for sale. It won't be for sale ever."

So far Prime Minister Carney and the Canadian delegation are showing admirable discipline and restraint during their visit to the Torment Nexus. #CDNPoli

Danielle Smith is playing fast and loose with the future of the country. It seems like a long shot that Alberta would vote to leave, but who knows what happens once you start down this path. It’s a live-ammo outing now. Utter insanity.

The fight we face is with President Trump, not Ottawa, and certainly not each other. Danielle Smith is dividing our country and picking fights in a moment that calls for national unity. Watch my response to the Premier's address: youtu.be/d4e8Xu5xtqU

On the 80th anniversary of the Liberation of Europe, Trump says it is "unlikely" he will use force to take over Canada. We hear f--king crickets from Democrats. They may be willing to leave these matters to a toxic president. Not Canada. We come from a long line of fascist fighters. #elbowsup
