Two of my favourite politicians reminiscing about Bernie as the Mayor of Burlington, VT. The joy, the camaraderie, the similarities! Does it get better than this? I think not.
Before he was a Senator, a candidate for President, and our greatest champion in the fight against oligarchy, Bernie Sanders was the four-term Mayor of Burlington, VT.

I sat down with Bernie in Astoria to talk about the lessons he learned—and the work ahead.

MAGA ambassador Pete Hoosktra lashed out at Canadians for being "mean and nasty." He is pissed off we won't kiss the ring and buy their products. American media has realized the huge impact of the Canadian boycott.

We desperately need new doctors. Make it easier for them
Canada has a huge opportunity from the medical exodus of the United States.
As an MP I tried to help anAmerican doctor make his way through the old boys club of Ontario medical licensing.
Our town was desperately short of doctors.
He eventually went back home.

The physicians are coming. Is Canada ready?
US physicians are lining up to serve. Canada’s licensing logjam is holding them back.

Dear Democrats + American "friends"
Even when your president says it is "unlikely" that he will use military force against our country it still worthy of a resounding response.
Right?
But we hear crickets.
You might be okay with the end of the rule of law.

Well, I had an interesting Sunday night, how 'bout you?
🧵
NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night.

Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.”
She’s a constituent.
Not a threat.

Terrible sign about the state of US but great win to get top US scholars to come to @uoft.bsky.social’ Munk Schook! Let’s poach as many top US academics, scientists, researchers as we can!
When scholars of authoritarianism and fascism leave U.S. universities because of the deteriorating political situation here, we should really worry.

Dear Canadians,
US bound travelers are being asked to disclose their social media passwords. It should be fully expected that cell phones, laptops, and other electronic devices in your possession will be subject to search and possible seizure. Good year for a Staycation.

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations.

When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️
