"In actuality, there is no way to execute an immigration crackdown in a way that spares ordinary citizens - Jamelle Bouie in The New York Times #immigration #migration #consequences #economy #politics #Canada www.nytimes.com/2025/06/18/o...

"Far from galvanizing the public to his side, Trump’s ambitious effort to impose his will on the country has only generated discontent and backlash" - Jamelle Bouie in @nytimes.com #tariffs #degeneracy #corruption #cruelty #USA www.nytimes.com/2025/06/18/o...

According to Statistics Canada, the country's population growth has stalled. While some may cheer this, what are the immediate and longer-term implications if this continues? #immigration #economy #growth #Carney www.insauga.com/canadian-pop...

a nation on edge holds its breath as the former host of celebrity apprentice huddles with his advisors, the wrestlemania ceo and the former co-host of fox & friends weekends

As long as they’re hiding their faces, badges and names we should stop calling them “federal agents.” Call them masked goons or unidentified thugs or whatever, unless and until they provide proper ID.

Writing is thinking.

i just find this so bizarre. searching through texts and doing the reading for myself is how i actually think through ideas! trying to put together a sentence is how i figure out what i actually want to say!

Trump's historic, rampant, and so far unchecked corruption likely has Canadian admirers, specifically in Alberta and Ontario, eh? #DanielleSmith #DougFord #MapleMAGAs #journalists #healthcare #cronyism #rewardingdonors #Greenbelt www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Democratic senators need to stop pretending that GOP senators are their “good friends across the aisle” and realize many of them are just lying sociopaths who are actively fanning the flames of violence against them.

Erica Vandal was a West Point grad and an Army brat. When Trump announced his ban on transgender servicemembers, it also meant that it left some servicemembers stranded and having to leave their homes on military bases. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/u...

Big scoop from @tvyeo.bsky.social‬: Arnold Schwarzenegger likes Toronto for the bike lanes in Etobicoke. www.thestar.com/entertainmen...

"Again and again, I arrived at the same conclusion without fail: no, my eyes did not deceive me and my standards are not too high and I’m not being unfair. That was, hands down, the worst military parade I’ve ever seen." charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/the-worst-...

A record number of newcomers arrived in Canada during Justin Trudeau's time as Prime Minister, which may prove his most enduring legacy. @thewalrus.ca looks at what's next for Trudeau, who despite being forced out by his own party, remains admired globally. thewalrus.ca/justin-trude...

Carney and the G7: “I think it’s realpolitik, in a lot of respects,” said Vincent Rigby, a former national security and intelligence adviser to Mr. Trudeau...“I think (Carney) is going to be a hard-headed realist.” #Canada #India #trade #defense www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/opi...

With the tragic assassination of a Minnesota Democratic leader, I’m going to underline this point again.

Interesting take on the "genius" of Brian Wilson. I loved this reference: "Adele, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift – inoffensively palatable." 🤣🎯 #music #innovation #brands #nostalgia #derivation #TaylorSwift #Beyonce www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

Excellent piece from the @thestar.com's Ghada Alsharif on the construction industry, housing, immigration conundrum: “Less immigration means less actually gets built,” said Canadian Labour Congress president Bea Bruske. #Canada #jobs #newcomers #housing www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

Pope Leo's "family tree" is fascinating, insightful and wonderful. One guesses that White Christian Nationalist MAGAs such as Stephen Miller and some Supreme Court Catholic justices would be aghast. #Africa #slavery #Italy #mixedrace #Pontiff #France www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

BREAKING: Massive numbers of people from Europe and Asia have canceled vacations to America because trump has made this a dangerous destination, a major blow to our tourism industry. Can't blame them. Stay away.

Rita Trichur of the @theglobeandmail.com on how money laundering scandals have provided a withering assessment about the effectiveness of Canada’s (money laundering) regulators, with more problems looming on the horizon. #foreigninterference #economy www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

Pure dictator play. Americans are screwed but hey, they elected him. #Canada #Trump #G7

On brand. Disaster relief will now be a personal favor from the President to communities that pledge loyalty. Be grateful if you're from a (relatively) non-disaster prone part of the country.

“The notion that the armed services will stop protests and quiet widespread outrage about Trump’s immigration-enforcement policies in California is naive and flawed,” @juliettekayyem.bsky.social writes. https://theatln.tc/6whHTEwn

@reggcohn.bsky.social is bang on here. "India is a consequential country that matters in any global discussion about trade, climate change and health. It cannot be wished away or put on hold." Carney has acted wisely. #multilateralrelations #transgressions #Canada www.thestar.com/politics/pol...

Just because someone is spinning you doesn’t mean you have to get spun.

Who?

Lol! Like he ended the war in Ukraine in one day! Or how about those 90 trade deals in 90 days? If your boss lied this much you’d quit, and your company would likely be out of business. #TrumpDegenerateLiar #infotainment #AmericanSuckers #Canada

Is "authenticity" usurping authority/expertise? To me it makes no sense. I mean, what good is authenticity if you're authentically manipulative, stupid or evil. You're still stupid or evil (or both). The joke's on the audience (you're stupid). #Canada www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/o...

An invaluable look from Rita Trichur of @theglobeandmail.com as to how China does "business" in Canada. #foreigninterference #Banking #FinTRAC www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

Amid the huffing and puffing about Carney's nation-building projects, this piece by the inimitable @picardonhealth.bsky.social serves as an important reminder for the PM and the Liberal Party. #values #qualityoflife #Canadians #purposebeforeprofit www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Well done, fellow Canucks! 🇨🇦Stay the course until the felonious, degenerate, wacky Trump administration is gone. So many safer, friendlier places to travel in the world right now. #US #travel #Canadians #Ontario www.thestar.com/business/num...

As the fourth-largest city in North America, perhaps Toronto, in this age of challenges, change AND opportunities, needs more than just the "same old, same old?" #mayor #housing #immigration #congestion #economy #oliviachow #johntory www.thestar.com/opinion/star...
