You revived a historically unpopular political party, brought the Quebec independence to a near-record low and turned Edmonton against Wayne Gretzky. I think "soon" happened about two weeks ago

Sorry but I’m with @samsteindc.bsky.social. This isn’t “in response” to the Oval meeting. They had all of this pre-planned and ready to roll out. Trump and Vance instigated the Oval confrontation to justify it.

Remember ahead of this snap election that Doug Ford promised to fix #LTC after the horrific military reports were leaked in 2020 and instead, he just passed the MOST HARMFUL & EXPLOITIVE STAFFING REGULATION TO DATE. 🎙️A snippet from a talk I gave this past weekend-Sat Jan 25, 2025👇

I know it's impossible as a normal person to completely disentangle yourself from Amazon's tentacles, but I don't understand how at this point any actor, writer, or filmmaker can take a penny from Amazon Studios. Surely there are still (a few) other less evil options?

Imagine being Pierre Poillevre: you've spent your life trying to become PM to enact sweeping changes to Canada's political economy. You are on the verge of a crushing electoral win. Then Trump happens, and now the physical incarnation of the Laurentian Consensus is about to end your whole career.

The lead is narrowing but Ontario seems poised to re-elect the only party with no platform for how to manage an economic war. Tough guy words are all show, no go + weakest plans to fix healthcare/housing chaos they "managed". Read all about it. And your real choices. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

I don't think film critics should have to review the Marvel movies anymore. Like, I dunno. Should an art critic have to review those big pictures of tomatoes they hang on the wall at Subway? I think they belong in a different category.

The AP should stop covering Trump events. Instead send those White House reporters out into the field to report on the harms and repercussions of his policies. The U.S. public never needed coverage of pseudo-events anyway.

This government is most TrumpMuskian in Canada so far. You're watching the MO. Breathtakingly extreme policies. Move fast. Break things. Occlude visibility. Deny accountability.
