With his solo trip to Washington, for the national prayer breakfast, it appears that Jamil Jivani is also emerging from Pierre’s shadow. Despite his stated goal to single handedly save Canada, I’m sure that his real goal is Pierre’s job. #cdnpoli #politicalcartoon #pierrepoilievre #jamiljivani

When I thought the Epstein scandal was just going to hurt libs like Bill Clinton I thought it was the biggest scandal ever. But now that people I like are getting caught up in it, I think it’s a big nothing burger, and that everyone who’s promoting it should be ashamed.

Manitoba has the country’s highest number of reported measles infections in 2026 — a year after the province’s outbreak began — while a surge brings stronger messaging from the government.

Nothing makes me feel ancient like talking to younger people about newspaper boxes and daily papers you'd pick up on your commute.
And I'm only 40! The speed at which we normalized media monopolies owned by billionaires is mindboggling.

i want this for canada too, and it will only come through dependable public funding of journalism along the lines that exist in some european (particularly nordic) countries.
we need to stop letting conservatives and old-guard figures who arose in a different era try to discredit public funding.

I want smaller newspapers with actual fact-based reporting made by people who are paid more to work less and I'm not kidding.

An important thing to remember is Winnipeg is, at its core, a settler land speculation scheme with a captive population towards whom civic leaders feel no responsibility.
Lukes says “this is a project that opens up land” which is the real thing. This is a gift to land speculators at the expense of literally everyone else. Peguis extension will start killing kids downtown with cars as soon as it’s built, and will kill all our kids with climate catastrophe later.

New record! Wind power reached a new monthly generation record in Britain this January (10.6 TWh)!
As a result of record wind power, gas generation was down a whooping 17%.
Yet I keep hearing about how wind turbines are a scam from orange clowns…

Scott Gillingham’s mayorship and ethos seems mostly oriented around the assertion that Winnipeg can’t have nice things. EPC member Eadie saying we shouldn’t try to fix the bus, committee chair Lukes arguing that transportation advocates have to go to “the dark side” and sell out to get power, etc
Councillor Eadie continues to represent the important constituency of “everything sucks and we shouldn’t fix it” as he objects to councillor Rollins passing on resident concerns about increased exposure to cold during longer walks to and longer waits at transit stops. “That’s Winnipeg!” Eadie says.

So glad that the community worked to put @emmaewood.bsky.social in office, as she’s answering a question from councillor Sharma about how to address roads that aren’t built for today’s traffic volume by correctly pointing out that evidence shows induced demand from wider roads will never solve it

6. Rising to the challenge of moral consistency does not mean supporting your man through thick and thin. It means standing with the victims, whoever they might be, against the oppressors, whoever they might be. And, if necessary, making yourself unpopular in doing so.

5. What this is about is the locus of solidarity. Either you express solidarity with the victims of genocide and the victims of sexual abuse. Or you express solidarity with someone you treat as a hero, who might be assisting the airbrushing of those crimes. There’s a choice to be made.

Right. At Issue had a good discussion on this last week. Coyne said it's very hard for Conservatives to get less than 30% of the vote and more than 40% of the vote. A stronger third party vs the Liberals is always their path. A popular liberal leader gobbles up the centre, and here we are.
