Worth considering. The Trump Cult is becoming increasingly evident… open.substack.com/pub/briankla...

Incontrovertible facts that the world continues to ignore: substack.com/@caitlinjohn...

You will never regret reading this book by @julianborger.bsky.social … it is a brilliant, beautifully -written reminder that one carries childhood trauma forever.

Ms Talaga is entirely correct. Our PM and Premiers have their heads in the sand because they evidently lack the courage to make the changes they know are necessary. Carney’s ‘decarbonized oil’ is an example of such stupidity. We must go electric now. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Every Canadian must read this essay. @markcarney.bsky.social & Tim Hodgson are being duplicitous when they talk about ‘decarbonized oil’. They do know better so it is shameful. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/06/09/o...

I suspect there is considerable truth in this essay: open.substack.com/pub/theline/...

Fascism personified, no?

The future of Ontario looms frighteningly in the atrocity of this legislation. If we sit by the consequences will be dire, but do enough care for future generations to make the waves that will be required…. open.substack.com/pub/billkell...

We still can’t get straight answers on why ICE agents are masked and refusing to ID themselves. On top of all that they appear to be lying about cause. Congress, do you see what’s happening? Don’t be silent! Call your Senators & Reps. Demand an investigation. ☎️ Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%. At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year.  This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

It's almost as if Alberta is billions in debt because its government refuses to use basic economic levers (like a sales tax, which every other province has) to actually fund the money it spends.

What a jerk. @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

We must prioritize this … it is enormously more important than a spa or tunnel underneath the 401 (both of which are insanely dumb). www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Strikes me this woman is highly principled and MIT leadership are craven chickenshits. www.cnn.com/2025/06/01/u...

Regardless of one’s position on abortion, this is legally correct.

Who’s surprised?

Excellent example of identifying the solution to a problem and only then finding a way to rationalize the choice. It’s a backward, foolish approach to good governance. Unfortunately, this is not an unusual approach from Ontario’s Premier. www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/arti...
