Happy birthday to Rick Mercer, born on this day in 1969 in St. John's. He rose to nationwide fame on This Hour Has 22 Minutes, before creating the shows Made in Canada and Rick Mercer Report. He has won 18 Geminis, 12 Canadian Screen Awards and received 11 honorary degrees.
### Image Description A professional color headshot of Canadian comedian, TV host, and political satirist Rick Mercer, likely from the 2010s during his career peak with shows like *Rick Mercer Report*. Mercer, in his mid-50s, is captured in a direct, engaging close-up with a subtle, knowing half-smile and a confident, piercing gaze. He has fair skin, a strong jawline, and a full head of curly silver-gray hair. He wears a tailored black single-breasted suit jacket over a crisp white dress shirt, accented by a small, elegant white flower boutonniere on the lapel. The background is a clean, softly blurred neutral gray with subtle architectural lines suggesting an indoor studio or office setting, conveying a polished yet approachable vibe typical of media promotional portraits.

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.”

Nailed it.

I so wish Barbara Walters was alive today to see how coward the mainstream media really is when interviewing this guy.

This is an actual gutsy and honest interview. I miss those days.

Excellent piece by Arlene Dickinson supporting the Digital Services Tax.
open.substack.com/pub/arlenedi...
There's been a lot of noise about Canada's Digital Services Tax. That it's risky. That we're provoking Donald Trump and risking retaliation from the U.S. That we should've just stayed quiet. But in truth, the DST isn't a threat, it's a shield. It's a policy built to protect Canadian businesses, reinforce fairness, and signals that our economy isn't for sale. This is what it looks like when our country acts in our own long-term interest and does it with clarity and confidence. Some are calling the DST a misstep, a diplomatic "own goal" and a self-inflicted wound. But I don't see Canada's Digital Services Tax as any of those things. It's a smart, targeted policy that ensures companies who are making money from Canadians actually contribute here too.

Former Supreme Court of Canada Justice Gérard La Forest is being remembered as “a great jurist and great human being” whose eloquent judgments have left an enduring legacy in Canadian jurisprudence. @journodale.bsky.social has this look back. www.nationalmagazine.ca/en-ca/articl...
‘A great human being, on many counts’
Former Supreme Court of Canada Justice Gérard La Forest believed the rule of law is essential not only to a just society, but the functioning and survival of Canadian democracy

Today they have crossed a deep red line.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

Photo taken by Michael Collins in 1969. Inside the lunar module are Armstrong and Aldrin. In the distance is Earth carrying the rest of all human beings.
So all of mankind is in this picture except for Michael Collins.

A Florida weatherman telling his viewers he can no longer be confident in his forecasts due to cuts to atmospheric science is the kind of resistance content I’m here for.

Kudos, Sir.🌦️

A tradition in Parliament: escorting the newly elected Speaker of the House of Commons to the Speaker’s chair.

Congratulations, Francis Scarpaleggia. Canadians look forward to your leadership in the Chamber.
Prime Minister Mark Carney and the Leader of the Official Opposition ‘drag’ the newly elected Speaker of the House, Francis Scarpaleggia, down the aisles of the Chamber as Members of Parliament applaud.
