One of the braver things a politician has said in the midst of a campaign. Carney understands how big the cultural economy is, even if the general public doesn't. Now promise funding agencies won't be pressured to fund rah-rah Canada projects only.

Thank you to the poll workers for their dedication & doing their best during Vancouver's bi-election today. And a curse on the heads of whoever in the city purposely understaffed the polling stations. WORST election line experience I've had in 51 years of voting at any level. Shame.

YouTube quietly removed “gender identity” from its hate speech policy, @taylorlorenz.bsky.social reports. This is a major radical shift away from best practices in the field of trust and safety and content moderation — and will harm creators and users alike.

Like Trump can only smirk or sneer, Poilievre relies a lot on a show-teeth-and-sad-eyes "smile" on the stump these days. He used to be able to at least slimy smile. He's not feeling very confident.

An incredible resource. Shoutout to TMP founder, Laura Horak, awarded the 2025 Dorothy Killam Fellowship,. Horak's research "will build and maintain a robust ecosystem for the complete lifecycle of trans filmmaking in Canada, from funding to production, exhibition, distribution, and preservation."

It's imperative that international archives that hold US-produced material - especially intersectional and rare materials - ensure it remains accessible at our own institutions.
