I am riding the Expo Line from King George Station for the first time in many, many years. Got a good look at the replacement of the Putullo Bridge over the Fraser River

It’s a real challenge that even an understated description of what’s currently happening to American democracy can sound wildly hyperbolic based on our previous frames of reference.

There is no crossborder "conversation" to be held about sovereignty. Sure, we Canadians can talk about it. And Americans can listen. But unless we are already no longer sovereign, they don't get a say. That's the entire point of sovereignty.

Trudeau has quite a few faults as a leader, but he is really good at stuff like this. He seems to authentically enjoy this stuff. Like when he went to Pride in 2016 or when he showed up to The Hip concert in a Canadian Tuxedo

Zoning in theory: we need land use regulation to keep homes away from sources of pollution. Zoning in practice: the only places you can build new housing are right next to the highways and high-traffic streets that are your city’s largest sources of pollution.

If you don't happen to follow any Canadians, you're missing how deeply the US has offended, enraged, and destabilized a people who—to grossly stereotype—are slow to anger.

We're very fair to Canada. But they're not fair to us. We invite them. Come and play in Boston. Beautiful city. Boston, Muskachusetts. The perfect city really. But Canada. Very unfair. We give them two goals. Very fair. But Canada takes more goals. Not very fair, right? Goal tariffs. It's happening.

I live 25 miles from the Canadian border. Many people cross the border daily here for work, shopping (WA has Trader Joe's), going out to eat (BC has yummy Indian food), flights (Vancouver airport is great for international), outdoor recreation, and more. Vibes are seriously off.

Populism is alive and well across Canada. Nova Scotia is trotting out the UCP's greatest hits. Shutting down independent officers, eliminating arms-length agencies, invoking closure, limiting media access... www.halifaxexaminer.ca/morning-file...

'Fuck your tariffs!' How Canada's #4Nations win over the USA was bigger than just hockey — especially in a border town that's the front line in the economic battlezone. And yes, I spent the night drinking beer and eating beef dip. It's a #hardknocklife. theprovince.com/sports/canad...
