Idiocracy didn’t go far enough. Manchurian Candidate overthought the problem.

Elbows up Canada! 🇨🇦

Brutal.

Gene Hackman auditioned for and almost got the part of Mike Brady in THE BRADY BUNCH. There better be an option in heaven to watch all 117 of those episodes.

One thing I do not want to get lost are changes under Bill 38, Red Tape Reduction Statutes Amendment Act. It changes what the OCYA can and must report. Her office must report on deaths under the age of 18, but will only have discretion to report up to the age of 20 minus a day...

“Thursday’s appearance sealed an impression of Mr. Gretzky most have had for years, but did not publicly express. That he’s the sort of guy who got out of here as fast as he could, and never comes back unless it’s to make a few bucks or get his tires pumped.”

You don't like it here, get the hell out.

“The men’s ice hockey tournament at the Milan Olympics begins in 355 days, as of Friday. Set an alarm.”

“In a letter sent from AHS chief financial officer Michael Lam to MHCare on Dec. 20 … he said the company had been holding $49.2-million of government money for “well over a year” and demanded to know whether MHCare was taking steps to additionally import intravenous acetaminophen.”

Carville: The key issue is that in this century under Democratic President 50 million jobs have been created. One million jobs under Republicans

“After we’ve discriminated against, deported, or disparaged all the immigrants, the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women, and minorities. Once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends… what comes next?” - Gov. JB Pritzker

I was electrocuted, beaten, stabbed in the leg and starved after being captured while defending my home and family in Mariupol. We held back Putin’s invasion for several weeks while Russia slaughtered over 25,000 predominantly Russian speaking Ukrainians including women and children.

The New York Times analyzed the electoral impact of annexing Canada instead of asking why the president is talking like a dictator. www.readtpa.com/p/stop-analy...

NEW: There’s now a call for Danielle Smith to remove Adriana LaGrange as health min from within her own cabinet. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

[the statue of liberty looks at the camera] THE ARISTOCRATS!

Pierre Poilievre’s Lead Was Supposed to Be Unshakable. It Isn’t. My latest for @thewalrus.ca ↓ thewalrus.ca/pierre-poili...

I’m starting to think the USA we saw in movies was all just pretend.

Wowza! I think the Conservatives should be getting pretty nervous by now.

I saw the Kanye ad yesterday (it aired in the Philly market, where we were) but didn't click on the link. Today I found out it went to a website selling swastika T-shirts. This was a Superbowl ad. And it was to a website selling swastika T-shirts. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

Tesla paid $0 in federal income tax last year. 2022: $0 2021: $0 2020: $0 2019: $0 2018: $0 Tesla reported $6.7 billion in profit in those years.

More of this, America.

If Canada's in the mood for some fun and not afraid of the US, we should find $1 billion dollars and offer to fund the labs of top US scientists who move their work here.

Wow.

SCOOP: Danielle Smith's government fired the head of Alberta Health Services two days before she was to meet with the Auditor-General to discuss her internal investigation into procurement contracts and deals for private surgical facilities. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber... #abpoli #ableg

"He's trying to govern like a king because he's too weak to govern like a president." Don't believe him.

Hopefully they’ll replace the American booze with the really good Canadian alcohol available all across the country. Break down internal trade barriers!

Canada actually shares a border with Denmark. Perhaps we should at least publicly explore the idea of joining the EU. That would drive the Orange One even more bonkers.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

I spoke with the owner of a small NY manufacturing firm. Most of his sales are exports. Biggest markets: Canada, China & Europe. He never thought Trump would actually impose tariffs; figured it was just campaign talk. If they go into effect, he fears he’ll have to lay off most of his 65 employees.

Flavio doesn’t fuck around.

Lunatic in Chief As Sunday began, Trump blasts Canada as not ‘a viable country’. Follow live updates here. www.ctvnews.ca/business/art...

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

A classic

I went to Jasper, where people are thinking about the power and beauty of fire, amid the destruction and pain it causes. With stunning photography by Todd Korol. @theglobeandmail.com www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

SCOOP: John Conly, a Calgary physician, said he was not on the task force that advised govt to halt COVID vaccines, even though the report listed him as a contributor. Doctors across the country are calling the report bunk. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber... W @alannasmith.bsky.social

“DO YOU KNOW WHO MY DADDY IS?!”

At the end of reading news stories today, I'm half-expecting someone to jump out and exclaim "The Aristocrats!"

According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150,000 trees have been planted and 45 hectares of parks created in the city, all intended to not only improve quality-of-life today, but also help the city adapt to and manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) by 2050. Plant a lot more urban trees.
