Q: Why did govt dismiss the AHS board? LaGrange: That's before the courts. Won't comment. Q: The board dismissal is not before the courts. And that doesn't matter anyway. LaGrange: Before the courts. Then govt tried to cut me off. Thanks to my colleagues for letting me ask another.

Pierre Poilievre brought them doughnuts 🍩, #neverforget. #cdnpoli

In @vanityfair.com, Gwyneth makes fun of my book with her name in the title, proposing a sequel: “Was Gwyneth Paltrow Right About Everything?” Is article, she displays a stunning amount of Dunning Kruger fuelled arrogance. She helped to normalize the pseudoscience that created current sh*t storm.

If you ask me, these anti-vax parents are guilty of child abuse and neglect.

Truer words were never spoken.

The post of the day.

Poilievre has taken lessons on misogyny from Republicans with a misogynistic hashtag on his political videos for years & infatuation with promoters of toxic masculinity like Jordan Peterson. It’s not just appalling, it’s disqualifying if you want to be PM. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Or the Alberta education system.

Thou shalt not let anti-science imbeciles destroy the Department of Education so everyone can be as stupid as they are.

The MAGA morons will go to any lengths to show their spite and stupidity towards Canada. Keep the boycott going. No travel to USA. #elbowsup www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Hi, I’m God. And I’m joining the “Fight the Oligarchy” tour! Um, if they’ll have Me.

AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person. I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

Canada must speak up against the arbitrary detention of travellers. Canadians and other nationals have been kidnapped by ICE. These are not the actions of a democratic nation. This is the creep of fascism. I am calling on Canadians to avoid all travel to the USA. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lt_q...

In case anyone was wondering which side Danielle Smith is on, this may help: Nicky Gocuan, who works in Premier Smith's office, proudly posts a selfie promoting Elon Musk’s DOGE department, responsible for decimating US government programs and foreign aid. #ableg #Yeg

Some days I regret teaching the puppy to ring the bell.

My thanks to His Majesty King Charles III for his warm welcome and gracious hospitality today. Canada is fortunate to have a steadfast defender in our sovereign.

Idaho teacher ordered to remove inclusive signs from classroom. Being a decent human being is frowned upon now in Idaho? www.wkyc.com/article/news...

Emmanuel Macron hosted the chiefs of staff of 34 allied nations. Notable presence: the UK, South Africa, Australia, Canada & Turkey. US was not invited.

Canadian Premier, who didn’t immediately call an election after becoming premier by a leadership vote, is demanding Mark Carney immediately call an election after winning a leadership vote. au.news.yahoo.com/mark-carney-...

P.E.I. signs $30-million pharmacare deal for diabetes medication, contraceptives #PEI #Pharmacare #Canada #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

“It is, or at least it should be, a damp stain on our national conscience, and your average outraged Canadian is responding rationally. If anything, it’s the American public that should be taking Trump’s depravity more seriously. We allowed this to happen.”

It’s estimated that up to 70% of interactions on the internet are AI. I never anticipated that the rise of the machines would take the form of weaponized marketing algorithms that have recursively polarized our thinking to the point of societal paralysis.

Do we still not think that Trump is a Russian asset? #Cdnpoli #Ukraine

A reflection on Canada and the dark times we are living in. We are no longer just playing shinny. The stakes are dangerously high. When Mike Myers gave the "elbows up" sign, we know what to do. Read my latest Substack here on why Canada won't break. charlieangus.substack.com/p/elbows-up?...

#yyc if you're looking for a night out, go see #kingjames at @abtheatreprjcts.bsky.social . You don't need to love basketball to love this play. Great writing, great actors, great set, great directing. Just go.

Youth throughout the world are scared. They want peace. They don’t want another Cold War, or worse. They want to know that adults have this handled. It’s up to us, grownups, to get engaged, vote wisely, protest and recommit to democracy and the rule of law - for our kids’ sake.

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation. I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

Alberta budget is introducing a $1.2 billion tax cut at the same time that it is projecting a $5.2 billion. They are borrowing money for the tax cut. In the face of a likely trade war with the US. This is irresponsible.

You know where you can go and not worry about breaking the economic blackout today? Your local library! All those books and you won’t spend a penny!

Zelensky is in the middle of a fourth year of war, and they are focused on whether he will wear a suit. Maybe he should have shown up to the oval office wearing a tan suit!

Putin is very happy today.

"The only winner out of today is Vladimir Putin." - Karl Rove on Fox News

And BBC just reported that Rubio and Waltz told the Ukrainian team to leave (on behalf of Trump). That is one way to shrink the State Department. Truly US diplomacy is not just in crisis, but heading into oblivion.
