Canada's Safe Third Country Agreement with the United States is endangering the lives of countless people.
It's immoral and probably unconstitutional.
Mr. Carney, tear down that wall.

Trump needs to insert himself into everything. It’s the narcissism. But is he endorsing himself? Poilievre? Or just doing his chaos thing?

If you're in Toronto on Thursday, March 20th, please join us at the Hot Docs Cinema on Bloor Street for what promises to be a lively and informed discussion about the coming federal election.
We have a stellar panel of journalists to make sense of it all.

Great to see this today. At a Loss for Words is number one on CBC's bestsellers list. It reflects strong sales by indie bookstores - and they are the backbone of Canadian book sales.
Thank you buyers AND sellers.

Lovely to see this in the "what we are reading" section of the @theglobeandmail.com today.
"This eye-opening book should be read by all Canadians." Thank you Lindsay Bryan!

Read this carefully.
The language is provocative. Designed to demonize some vaguely defined other.
Thank you @ruthmkb.bsky.social for posting it.

Worrisome and loaded rhetoric here.
Poilievre “will fire government officials throughout my administration who are imposing a toxic work ideology.”
Who will he go after? Why?
And “my administration”? Is he running for president?
Sounds trumpy.

The tour for this book has been a wild ride. I met so many people who are trying to understand what's happening to civil society. I offer some ideas -- and encouragement.
Thanks to all those who made this a bestseller.

Signing books in Ottawa before International Festival of Authors event. Packed house and such a feeling of community.
Solidarity was word of the night.
