Just voted, and was a little sad there was a pen waiting for me behind the little cardboard voting shield. Was excited to trust that elections Canada wasn’t secretly waiting to erase and reassign my vote.

ICYMI: Canada's tackled the issue of foreign ownership before. Despite our #ElbowsUp spirit, will the next federal government tackle it now, as parties scramble to attract investment? Let's make sure they do. Here's why. Here's how. www.thestar.com/business/our...

I've had a surprising number of conversations with fellow Canadians about this show pre-Netflix distribution, but didn't really catch much coverage in the media. I wonder if all the Canadian channels were waiting for it to hit Netflix to run their reviews and interviews etc? (Or did I just miss it?)

Pharma giants push Trump insiders to target Canadian drug pricing. A vial of insulin costs far, far more in the U.S. than in Canada, but that could change, by @nicktsergas.ca canadahealthwatch.ca/newsletter/2... via @canadahealthwatch.bsky.social

I'm concerned that the NDP, and every party in Canada, will conclude that the Confidence and Supply Agreement was a strategic mistake never to be repeated. A shame because it was absolutely the right thing to do and got important policies through the door. #cdnpoli @ndp.ca

Finished War on Gaza this morning, a short graphic essay by Joe Sacco. Feeling heartbroken and complicit. Weirdly both a historical record of Joe Biden’s role in, and real-time journalism of this ongoing tragedy. @fantagraphics.bsky.social

Heading into this election: we know we have to spend more but nobody wants to raise taxes. Because you asked, I wrote a column on how we faced that moment before in Canada and how we could do it again. www.thestar.com/business/vic... #cdnecon

Here is my latest on the threats facing travellers going into the United States. This is no longer a nation under the rule of law. The United States has been taken over by political ideology abusing power to carry out political vendettas. This is fascism. charlieangus.substack.com/p/my-warning...

@mark-carney.bsky.social, @armineyalnizyan.bsky.social 's idea of Victory Bonds sounds great. Is this something the Liberals would look at? www.thestar.com/business/vic...

I decided to start a #thread 🧵 of stories about legal residents and tourists being (illegally) arrested, detained and/or deported by the Trump regime. I'll only post stories from serious sources, as rumors and conspiracies are really not needed in this authoritarian moment.

I think in retrospect the upcoming election will either look like one of two recent contests: Kamala’s (i.e incumbent tacks centre, loses left, draws no Cons) or Ford’s (i.e. snap election dominated by US threat, everyone rallies around current leader).
