My latest: This Jimmy Kimmel Graphic Hasn’t Gone Viral Yet, But it Should: Economic data can be best shown in charts, though it’s rare for those charts to become graphics for late night comedy shows…

missed this one last night: "Japan expressed interest Tuesday in participating in the NATO command for its Ukrainian mission based in Germany in what would be a major boost in ties with the largely European alliance."

As the federal election campaign unfolds, a concerning pattern is emerging in Western Canada: some high-profile conservatives retreating from national coalition-building in favour of grievance politics. @drjaredwesley.bsky.social writes.

Heading to Vancouver Island as part of the resistance tour and to put the run on some very toxic MAGA MAPLE candidates. I can't wait to see folks in Cumberland, Port Alberni, Nanaimo with @gordjohns.bsky.social @lisamariebarron.bsky.social @tanille-tanille.bsky.social

Charlie is a great person, and I recommend reading the post.

Trump sullies the word "liberation" by plunging the global economy into chaos. This economic mayhem is what happens when you give absolute power to an unhinged narcissist. But this might be the beginning of the end of MAGA Mayhem. Read my latest: charlieangus.substack.com/p/donald-tru...

It was difficult for those alive in 1914, having been formed in the relative peace and tranquility of the late 19th century, to even begin to imagine the horrors of the following 30 years. Surely it would be for us too. Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social:

"Every drop of the stock market. Every lost job. Every price increase. Every piece of macroeconomic bad news. Trump owns it. It was caused by him. But also: Rail against any exemptions Trump grants as the worst form of cronyist corruption."

“The ‘Freedom Convoy’ was — without question — one of the low points for conservatism in Canada, and one of the most divisive and disturbing events in recent Canadian political history. Its goal was to overthrow a legally elected government, and Pierre Poilievre championed their cause.”

The resistance tour in Sudbury was powerful. People defied a wicked ice storm to fill the hall and send a clear message that we will fight for the north, we will fight for our country and we will defend our democracy from tyranny. #elbowsup www.thesudburystar.com/news/local-n...

well said @rachelgilmore.bsky.social

Wow — what a 24 hours. Let's talk about tariffs, the election and...yeah, that CTV stuff. On a personal note, today, I have hope that we can make the world a bit better. That’s because of you. So thank you. ❤️ youtu.be/EcqdKt4Yduk

“…I am furious that CTV caved. Rachel became a symbol of the threats journalists face. Now, she is a symbol of what it means when institutions fail to defend them”

Straight down seems bad

"MAGA Media Strategy 101: Trash a truth-teller by calling them a liar, then unleash the online dogs of hate. The pitchfork mob did their job." From Charlie Angus' newsletter. If you don't subscribe to his emails you should, it's free and enlightening. @charlieangus104.bsky.social #VoteLiberal

"When a vehicle breaks down during training, it’s an inconvenience. But if it breaks down during combat, it can mean death." That's why we practice it under unforgiving conditions. And we practice with our allies. @markhertling.bsky.social on the Lithuania accident:

"One of these individuals is a paragon of manliness; the other is an effete parasite. The fact that the MAGA movement has them confused is a problem." And not the only problem. Today's Triad from @jvl.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/a-tale-of-...

It’s time your government got back in the business of building affordable homes.

#CanadaSky #Cdnpoli I just got mine! Dentalcare is a really good thing for everyone! I just read an article that say they have connected a bacteria in GUM Disease to Alzheimer's - plaque in the brain. Get your Dental coverage and use it!! Thank you NDP! #ElbowsUPCanada #StrongerTogether

2+2=4. There are 24 hours in a day. And a #Canadian provincial leader is openly coordinating with foreign political actors to influence Canadian elections in ways favorable to a foreign administration that has explicitly threatened #Canada 's #Sovereignty. www.notesfromthecircus.com/p/canadians-...

"Fight the authoritarians on everything. If the stock market drops, scream about it. Because it’s their fault. When a kid dies of measles—their fault. Attack them every day, on whatever the latest thing is. Turn 'flood the zone' against them."

Watching the Poilievre presser right now. He has been clearly thrown off his game. Hesitant, stumbling on words, strange phrasing. The breaking story about his wife's cousin entering and staying in Canada illegally means she won't be showing up at events where there will be questions. #cdnpoli

The general who made the original recommendation for Canada to purchase the U.S. F-35 is now saying: “building Canada’s future fighter force solely on the F-35 would be “irresponsible.”In light of the change in position of the U.S. towards Canada and the rest of the world #canada #usa #f35 #tariffs

In the context of U.S. President Trump’s tariff war, it makes sense for Canada to reassess our energy needs. But it makes no sense to expand #OilAndGas infrastructure in the midst of growing worldwide climate chaos. 🛢 Lana Goldberg writes. #uspoli #canpoli

Anti-union lobby groups are endorsing Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives The Conservative Party of Canada is receiving endorsements from "open shop" groups with a long history of anti-union lobbying

deport this guy to the US right now medicinehatnews.com/news/local-n...

worth your time. give this man an oscar.

He doesn't care. He's from the Goebbels school of tell the lie often enough, and the sheep will believe it.

canada should go deep into manufacturing buses, bikes, and trains instead of cars

FYI - The shop will be closed Saturday so we can exhibit at the show. See you there? #yycbike

I need to thank Pierre Poilievre. Pierre, thank you for making me angry enough to want to rid the world of conservative rage farming and sloganeering and do everything in my power to help elect people who both qualified to run the country and are serious about doing so (neither of which you are).
