Alberta, you’d better save up those petrodollars, because one day soon oil won’t be worth it to drill, and you might actually need Canada for something. But you’ll have shown us who you are, and we’ll remember. If you think Danielle should be standing up for Canada, you might want to tell her.

In the calls to defend Canada, we’re getting a one-dimensional perspective: increased resource extraction & exploitation. But what if your #cdnpoli includes its wilderness, which sustains us & the good life we enjoy here? Thanks @wcscanada.bsky.social for this piece: thenarwhal.ca/opinion-worl...

Transgenic means that genes from 1 organism have been put into another. We make transgenic mice to understand how genes influence biological processes. We make transgenic plants to make them more nutrient rich. We make transgenic bacteria so they make medicine for us. It's wide-ranging & v. useful.

Annexation seems like such a polite word for violent invasion. It would be terrible. For Canada. And also for the U.S. I think a lot of people haven’t thought though the horrors it would cause for the U.S. But professor Ahmad has. It’s a horrifying read: theconversation.com/why-annexing...

The next Canadian Prime Minister should appoint Trudeau as Ambassador to the United States.

It should have always been like this. When compared to the G7, Canada had strong economy numbers under Trudeau. He actually cares about Canadians very deeply. The media had a right wing plan, and they won. JT will be missed so much. #ThankTrudeau #IStandWithTrudeau

“The chaos and the swings back and forth, the tariffs are on, the tariffs are off. The threats, the orders rescinded, put in place — it’s all a deliberate tactic to weaken our resolve, and it will not work.” - Premier David Eby This is the way. #elbowsup vancouver.citynews.ca/2025/03/06/b...

The Trump chaos and far right disinformation has upended and in some ways displaced our attention to the Climate Change trend. Climate Change is not going to pause while we deal with immediate issues. It's a real threat to our children and their children. (Chart: NOAA)

Here's what I know about Canada: One of our most beloved heroes was a stubborn kid who chose to run one-legged across the country until it killed him to show he could. Taking pain is something we lionize and in a state to state conflict, the population that can handle the most pain, wins. #cdnpoli

To quote the first article, "It feels to me like the government isn’t putting two and two together: the shortage of nurses, all the people out of work since Covid, no one seems to say, ‘Oh, it’s probably because loads of people have long Covid." Maybe @theguardian.com can put two and two together?

If it wasn't clear already, Jesse Marsch really gets what it means to be the head coach of Canada's national men's soccer team. His full comments on what the Canada-U.S. political situation means to him and the CanMNT heading into the Concacaf Nations League Finals.

I don’t know the name but credit to the reporter at Nations League media day who posed the international relations question to Jesse Marsch. As far as I know, no Canadian reporters were present. Responsible sports journalism includes politics, whether you like it or not.

Jayden Nelson’s otherworldly performance today is even crazier when you compare it to his #TFCLive days. In 50 games across 2 seasons with TFC, he scored just 1 goal and 3 assists. That’s the same output as today alone. What a pickup for #VWFC.
