The last poll to to be counted in Terrebonne flipped the seat from the BQ to the Liberals. I assume there'll be a recount, with a margin of 35.

I accidentally resorted to X-posting re: the terrible mass murder in Vancouver last night. Here's my story on accused killer Adam Lo's history. His brother was murdered last year. His mom attempted to take her own life: vancouversun.com/news/driver-...

I spent the past week in Iqaluit, learning how southern politicians’ talk of asserting Canadian sovereignty and developing natural resources in the North sounds to the people who actually live there. They're in! But they have some terms. thelogic.co/news/the-big...

Unless you ARE Pierre Poilievre, you are guaranteed to learn important things about this leading contender for prime minister became who he is, how he thinks and works, and what some of his nearest and dearest think of him. Spectacular work by colleague Laura Osman. thelogic.co/news/the-big...

Prince Rupert isn't just Canada's third-largest port, it's also the closest North American port to Asia. As Donald Trump throws global trade into chaos, this little-known trade hub is spending big to try and bring in new businesses. thelogic.co/news/prince-...

Here’s a story of who Mark Carney is, how he got that way—going from the some of the most boring work in Big Finance to heading the Bank of England to the political arena—and what it says about how he’s handling his new battles. thelogic.co/news/the-big...

As the saying goes: "Life is hard. But it's harder if you're stupid." Upstate NY farmer shocked by Trump tariffs, mistakenly thought Canada would pay www.syracuse.com/state/2025/0...

Calling an important news conference for 9:30 on the Saturday of a long weekend and then being really late for it is impeccably on-brand for the Liberals.

STOP PUTTING HUGE OPEN FIREPITS IN YOUR RENDERINGS OF URBAN DEVELOPMENTS. Honestly.

I’ve been at this for nearly 28 years. I have my dream job. But if you had told me 28 years ago things would be this toxic I would have done something else.

They really, really, really don’t get it.

Note the lawyers for Harvard: one is on the board at Fox and worked for George W. Bush, the other was the Trump-appointed U.S. attorney who investigated Biden’s classified documents carelessness.

I didn't know that dire wolves had ever been a thing outside D&D-type fantasy milieus. Real Torment Nexus vibes.

This is going around as if Carney said it. He did not. I think the broad idea is often implicit in much of what Carney says, but he did not say this.

Maybe we should have a total and complete shutdown of goods entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on.

Canadian media: Artist Christopher Griffin (Ottawa and PEI based) has just left his Artist in Residence position at Atlantic Veterinary College because US professors objected to a painting. He was given the option of taking it down, or leaving. He left. @sproudfoot.bsky.social @seansnmurphy.ca

N.B. Although Trump issued a Truth Social post through which he said he was "hereby" changing all the tariffs, he does still have to put something on paper to instruct the border people what to do.

This seems bad.

All of this. In a better world, news would be free. In this one, news costs money to make (not least because people who have money are very willing to deploy it, in myriad ways, to impede news about THEM), and the money to create news stories has to come from somewhere.

By my count, the Ontario PC government will have 39 parliamentary assistants for 29 ministers: news.ontario.ca/en/release/1...
