A Pixel Pusher and recovering politico. Transplanted #yyc’er, now living #yvr. I run armadillostudios and still hate Helvetica.
Now that's official, I really think the rebranding of York United to Inter Toronto was a smart move. Using a Toronto Blue and giving it a true Toronto vibe will make it a much better sell as a product. (Actually playing in Toronto will make it even better)

The difference in reaction on the Alberta pipeline MOU between my Bluesky, Threads, and Facebook feed is super fascinating.

The Ravens really have themselves to blame for this loss. Jesus. #ravensflock

Even though I am warming on the MOU, I really respect Mr. Guilbeault with this stand. It takes a lot to resign on principle like this.
This afternoon, I informed the Prime Minister of my decision to resign as Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture, Minister responsible for Official Languages, Minister of Nature and Parks Canada, as well as his Lieutenant in Quebec.

You can find my full statement below.

Like this might happen, but the odds of a pipeline proposal meeting this criteria AND being submitted by July 1st are so low.

Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built.

Remember when people thought he wasn't good at politics? www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/27/o...
The method to Mark Carney’s madness
The memorandum of understanding with Alberta might look like surrender. Look closer

I know I want more for #vwfc, but this line is a perfect description of Saturday.

"That match felt like a bloody final."
The latest #ViewFrom #VWFC newsletter just dropped! @lyteforce.ca lived a thousand lives and experienced all the emotions over the course of those three hours he spent during that match. Relive it with him!

I don't think any of these will be successful, but I am incredibly happy to see a big of FAFO on this policy. Recall legislation is ridiculous in a Westminster system and was just red meat for the populous. Happy to see it backfire for the UCP (like us old PC'ers said it would).
Nov 20th: #RecallNathanTNeudorf's paperwork is submitted & warming up on the sidelines—he may be in the game soon! Meanwhile, #recallNicolaides and #recallPitt have the ultimate head start, already collecting signatures like it's a marathon. Popcorn ready! 🍿

I’m probably been to 60-70 #vwfc home games and what I just witnessed was surreal. It took everything I understood of the team and upended it. Incredible gutsy win after what looked like guaranteed heartbreak. fucking bravo!!! #vwfc

Just saw a commercial for Justin Trudeau on "Hot Ones Quebec" and I have never been so proud to watch someone live their best "Single Dad" life than I was at that moment.

Kids who already feel like the world is against them are now being told they can’t be who they are, by a government that knows it will be found in violation of their rights. The excuse? “We won”.

All this to shore up the right-wing voting bloc.

The cruelty is the point. #ableg

Let’s be clear on this: Danielle Smith is ripping up the Charter of Rights & Freedoms to take away rights from the most vulnerable people in Alberta. And she’s doing it to protect herself from the militant wing of her own party, nothing more. Hope it’s all she’s ever remembered for in the long run

😂 What clowns.
Wherein Tanya Fir refers to the next caller on her “callback list” as the “next motherfucker"...

Not knowing that next person was a journalist.

After she failed to hang up the phone properly.

Just the most competent government ever.
