Don Davies rising in the house of commons to share the #elbowsupforclimate message. It's time to invest in resilience. 🙌
Yesterday I met with the Elbows Up for Climate Coalition—a group of mayors warning about the rising costs of climate inaction. From wildfires to food prices, communities are struggling. It’s time to invest in resilience and put young Canadians to work building a sustainable future.

About as fun a book you could read this summer. Who doesn't love a little stranger-than-fiction-becomes-fiction-anyway!?
Congratulations to author Christine Stringer on her ✨second✨ syndication across Postmedia for her debut novel, Charity Trickett Is Not So Glamorous! She spoke with one of our favourite arts columnists, @danayvr.bsky.social on life as a on-set assistant during Hollywood's golden era, and writing.

Reading Triolo’s “The Way Around” has been a treasure: like sitting with my dad again, listening to the way he could draw connections between two disparate but ultimately powerfully attuned things.
Triolo’s writing is a force, deeply immersive and rich. An immaculate offering.

In the latest addition to The Tyee’s #WhatWorks series, sponsored by Magic Canoe, filmmaker Quinn Kelly captures how this powerful collaboration is giving homes a second life and challenging the demolition-first mindset.

obviously Bukele has given his spin, but if a single senator can spring Kilmar for margaritas, then it has become exceptionally awkward for the President and his entire executive branch to insist there's nothing they can do to get him back to the US.
Nayib Bukele, the President of El Salvador, also posted photos of the meeting on X.

Carney’s housing pitch sounds bold—but key gaps remain: no timelines, no tenant safeguards, no limits on financialization. Cathy Crowe unpacks what’s missing. #canpoli

Is the Liberals’ promise of a wartime housing effort enough?
Mark Carney's housing plan omits key details like timelines, and does nothing to prevent the finacialization of housing, which contributed to the housing crisis in the first place.
