This photo from Lake Superior feels empty to me. Which is honestly how I’ve been feeling as of late. Things are abysmal here in the US and I fear they will only get worse for some time. Hug the people you love and support those you can. It’s going to be a bumpy ride. #PhotographersUnited #nature

I entered this race because I’m ready to get Canada’s economy back on track — to make us the strongest economy in the G7. Today, I shared my plan to do that: Spend less, invest more. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMmF...

It’s time for a new approach to the federal budget — one that will save taxpayer dollars, make smart investments, and build the strongest economy in the G7. It’s time to build: markcarney.ca/media/2025/0...

We can’t control what President Trump will do next. We have to focus on what we can control — building the Canadian economy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NBT...

It makes me so mad & upset to think about all the workers & their families impacted by Trump’s tariffs on steel & aluminum including in my hometown Hamilton. The stress they must feel worrying about their jobs & paying their bills. We need to stand strong together. #TeamCanada

I see Hugo nominations are open and I see people making eligibility posts. I never know if I’m supposed to or not, but I’m starting to feel FOMO, so I’ll just quickly put out there I wrote a novel that is eligible called THE STARDUST GRAIL, in case you enjoyed it enough to throw it in. Ty! 👉🏻 👈🏻

Donald Trump says he loves Canada. That's why he wants to destroy our nation. In Canada our kids don't worry about being shot at school. Our families don't go bankrupt if they get sick. And Canada sure as shit doesn't let convicted perverts take over our government. What do you think? #strongasfuck

Assholes will hop on social media, call themselves writers, say AI “writes” their “books” for them, and then call folks gatekeepers when they say that’s not writing. You can call writers who put in the work whatever you want, but “gatekeepers” is as inaccurate as calling yourself a writer.

“Lougheed and Klein knew that. That’s why they chose to keep our mountains, foothills and rivers safe for future generations. It’s a legacy that Smith’s government should honour — not betray.” Word @kevinvantighem.bsky.social 🤘 #abpoli #waterislife #balance calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

Let’s be 💯 clear. Trump absolutely wants our water, energy, forests, Arctic, farmland, vast size. We’re an amazing real estate deal to him. What he doesn’t get is that the majority of Canadians are repulsed at idea being the 51st state. Time to stand up for 🇨🇦 & build our great nation! #TeamCanada

Former Prime Minister Kim Campbell has signed the pledge for Canada. She joins thousands of leaders, artists, activists, Canadians who will resist the gangster in Washington. Have you signed the pledge to stand up for our values? True.North. Strong. Free. actionnetwork.org/petitions/pl...

Sorry American friends, but I gotta start a buy Canadian list. As futile as it may seem, I gotta start somewhere. (But I’ll still support American authors and musicians) #wtf #ineedabreak

I’m so thrilled to share the cover for my new book, SALTCROP, which is out in September. I’ve been so lucky to have beautiful covers — all designed by the amazing Jonathan Bush, including this one — but I think this one may be my favorite yet.

The only option we have is to double down (double up?) on compassion, empathy and truth. We can not go down a road where we ignore what we see with our eyes, the powerful go unchecked but the most vulnerable are targeted. It is upon all of us to speak truth to power, it really is.

Sad to hear Andrew Pyper passed away. The Wildfire Season is one of my favourite novels and I’ve been thinking of rereading it again. RIP
