I’d like to provide learned commentary here. But all I’ve got is that this could be huge. The consequences of a geopolitical realignment on this scale could have implications that are beyond my ability to even guess.

Always baffled when politicians accuse other politicians of playing politics. Like, yes?

“We fired all the guards at the bank so they’re not roadblocks to anything that happens.”

“From front-line physicians, nurses, health-care workers, up to senior leadership — everybody heard the premier of the province saying that they suck, that they don’t do a good job and that they’re not valuable,” Danielle Smith edmonton.citynews.ca/2025/02/20/a...

Rumour has it that President Trump even chews his own food. He’s like a messiah.

I think it’s not helpful to repeat claims that the administration is working on eliminating “DEIA” as though it’s some kind of corporate strategy; just say explicitly that they’re trying to eliminate diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, and explain how.

While I understand the sentiment, this is absolutely the wrong thing to do. A Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian. Involuntary revocation should only happen if citizenship was obtained by fraud.

I've been thinking about the common criticism that Canadian culture is just "not American." Here's the thing, though: that's only a thing that's thrown out because we have literally one neighbour. We're also not German, English or Australian, it's just the geography that brings up the not US thing

I math-ed it out, and right now your DOGE dividend is on track to be $4.29. Let me show my work.

The first thing we do, let’s fire all the lawyers.

"In December, Auditor General Shelley Spence revealed that the province spent a total of $103.5 million on advertising in the previous year... Much of the language used in the publicly funded ads mirrored talking points used by Doug Ford and the Progressive Conservative Party..." $103. Million.

The Trump DOJ is big mad about their finest legal minds being humiliated in court

Europe provides about as much direct aid to Ukraine as the United States. European loans to Ukraine are backed by income from frozen Russian assets, not Ukraine. isw.pub/UkraineFacts...

When Wayne Gretzky was awarded the Order of Canada, he waited over 24 years before he opted to receive it. He was later promoted to a Companion of the Order, but has so far not taken the steps to be invested in it, now almost 15 years later. The Order of Canada is our highest civilian award.

To my complete unsurprise, @orlaghokelly.bsky.social has delivered another defeat to the Alberta government. I have huge respect for lawyers who represent the good in the cases they take. I have admiration for the lawyers who win those cases.

It’s Flag Day and we pay tribute to former Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson and the gift he gave to Canada. Sixty years ago today the Red Ensign came down on Parliament Hill and was replaced with our own unique maple leaf flag. #cdnpoli #CanadianFlag

For no particular reason, what the Commonwealth of Virginia thinks about kings.

fact check: since congestion pricing started, subway crime is down 36%.

The Public Health Agency of Canada says it has purchased an "initial supply" of 500,000 doses of GSK’s human vaccine against avian influenza. The vaccines will be targeted at "people who may be at increased risk of being exposed to the virus through animals infected with avian influenza."

finally some good news

This is insane: a tariff intended to match other countries' VATs is expressly a ramping-up trade war tactic, since VATs apply to foreign and domestic producers equally. Just call it a blanket tariff on most of the first world (including Canada, since the GST is technically a VAT).

Mark Zuckerberg and his companies are malignant enemies of humanity and decency.
