Elon Musk’s DOGE is tearing through the US government with disastrous consequences. But beyond its borders, the extreme right is gearing up to push their own DOGE-inspired austerity campaigns in countries around the world.

Please consider supporting this solidarity fund organized by Health Workers for Palestine, to help family members of martyred healthcare workers, and provide living wages for Palestinian healthcare workers who we need to support for a sovereign and self-determined Palestinian-led healthcare system.

Toronto, will you join me in saving our bike lanes? My husband and I have pledged to give $1,000 for every donation - no matter the size - for up to 100 gifts! This will support our fight for safer streets, stronger communities, & a healthier environment! ecojustice.donorsupport.co/-/XMARHWMZ

I've been following this news story of the U.S. threatening to revoke visas of Caribbean govt officials whose countries use the Cuban medical program for healthcare support. Many heads of state/gov't are willing to give up their visas to keep Cuban medical missions. www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/202...

Do you love Canada enough to nationalize the grocery stores that, under private control, have repeatedly fixed prices and gouged consumers? Or do you just like hockey quotes and dreams of combat?

I have the same feeling about the pace of Donald Trump's second term that I had around when COVID was raging through Piedmont, Italy. Everything is moving so quickly that any plan that gets announced today is guaranteed to be irrelevant within a week.

I know a lot of Ontarians haven't needed to go to a hospital in the last few years, but it's bad, and this should have electoral consequences.

Canadians are watching as Silicon Valley takes over the US government, but few realize Shopify executives are trying to bring a similar project to Canada — and the leader of the Conservative Party has started praising them for it. Read my latest for @thebreach.bsky.social:

The absolute glee some are displaying in blaming Palestinians, and people who protested on their behalf, for their own ethnic cleansing is a strategic error (obvs you target the decision maker), a political error (obvs you need those votes), and a moral error (obvs fix your hearts or die).

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

I hope Canada's response targets U.S. digital products. Netflix, Prime, Apple, Disney, movies, TV channels and shows, online news, social & sports subscriptions, etc. Signalling that these are American exports is a great way to bring the stakes of this conflict home to Canadian households.

Dear Ontario. Just because the man wore a “based” hat does not cancel out what he’s been doing and will continue to do to our healthcare, education, housing and environment. He is on the clock, and he thinks he can sneak this one in. Don’t let him.

Very cool that Mark Carney took time out of his campaign launch speech to slander the “far left,” an option that doesn’t even exist in the Canadian political landscape. This guy is trying to bring Starmerism to Canada, isn’t he?

Good, depressing report from AMO on homelessness numbers across Ontario, counting 80,000+ homeless people in 2024. Rural homelessness growing a lot faster than urban. Municipalities shouldering much of the cost of housing programs. www.amo.on.ca/policy/healt...

One thing I'll say is that this format of 8 episodes every 18 months for television series really destroys any sort of vibe that you have with a show. There are so many shows that I just have not picked up again when new seasons are released.

Get Millie Black is a fantastic show. Love it when story and performance come together. And the Jamaican accents were the best I've heard on television.

I meet adults who are frustrated by the inability of young people to google things how we did at their age, seems to be from losing touch with how it's all trash now. our lives either don't need it as often or we take for granted we gradually learned to work around slop as it festered with alt text

just insane. Reviewing a paper on covid in Canada that finds an 11-fold increase in risk of hospitalization in the month after infection. Just absolutely bonkers. I've been doing respiratory virus epi for a long time, and we really don't trade in statistics like "relative risk = 11"

Three years in, I'm still extremely proud to work at The Narwhal. Our mandate is in-depth environmental journalism inside the borders of Canada: it's niche, and it's where we live, and I think we do it extremely well. If you believe it's important and are able to contribute, thank you so much.
