"It’s a really ugly situation when a sitting Premier is trying to insert herself into the outcome of a federal election the way Ms. Smith appears to be. It’s offensive and wrong. It’s certainly no way for a provincial leader in Canada to behave in the midst of a national crisis."

My biggest concern for Canadian society is that we fall victim to the American disease of separate curated realities, where two ideological camps can't agree on basic facts. They got there because of media manipulation. We are starting to go there. But we're not there yet.

As I just said on radio what is most alarming about Danielle Smith tape is not the attempted collusion with a foreign government to interfere in our election it's that she said Poilievre is "in sync" with "new direction" in America which is a brutal autocracy with a crashing economy 🇨🇦 #CanadaSky

Who needs Poilievre and the CPC when we have Ian Hanomansing? He's doing more damage to the CBC's credibility and making the case for defunding better than the far-right in this country

Ok here you go. Here's what I wrote to the CBC Ombudsman. - As an award-winning Canadian journalist, I am writing to express my profound disappointment regarding the upcoming radio program hosted by Ian Hanomansing, which aims to discuss the idea of Canada becoming the USA's 51st state. 1/

@bonnieforontario.bsky.social @maritstilesndp.bsky.social Advice. Get Ford to defend his record. Push he has had 7 years to do what he is NOW promising just to get elected again. Force him off his canned responses he cannot think on his feet. PUSH his Trump support. Consider a coalition.

The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.

One of Canada’s sagest public figures, Bob Rae is absolutely correct. We are now in the fight of our lives, and not just Canada. What’s left of the free world.

The pandemic or addiction that is the single biggest existential threat to human civilization is not a disease or a drug. It's denial. Far too many are in denial of our polycrisis. And as a result, no action will be taken to solve our problems. Yes this thought was inspired by that SciAm article.
