Poilievre losing his seat is almost Shakespearean: Pretender to the throne riles countrymen with anger, gets defeated by guy with Joy in his name. It’s basically Macbeth.

As always I’m grateful to Charlie Angus for speaking honestly & bluntly to Canadians.
We shouldn’t be traveling to the U.S. right now. Our previous relationship as friends & neighbours has shifted, and we are no longer safe.
Germany and the UK have issued warnings, why haven’t we?

Days after Anonymous put out an international travel warning urging all to avoid travel to the US, several countries including the UK, Denmark, and Germany have put out travel warnings to the United States due to the heightened danger towards foreign nationals by the Trump regime.

The arbitrary kidnapping of travellers by ICE is a breach of law. The US is acting like a gangster state putting international travellers at serious risk.

I keep seeing these headlines saying Canadians are upset about tariffs. Idea for reporters and editors: how do you think Canadians might feel about the president casually threatening their continued existence as a sovereign nation on a daily basis?

In general, I don't put a lot of weight on performative ceremonial political etiquette. But it is curious that Pierre Pollievre sent congratulations to Donald Trump on becoming President, but not to Mark Carney on becoming Prime Minister. Surely, such a clumsy misstep must be a greater message.

Signs are good that the ANCHOR program offering an alternative to police response to mental health calls is delivering benefits. The Citizen has a look at it this morning, and I've posted the City's memo to Council to which the article refers here: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/iw5fe....

Aside from everything else about this, "if we just don't CALL it a recession then the economy will be fine" is just another iteration of "if we weren't testing there wouldn't be so many cases"
This is ominous. Commerce Secretary suggests new GDP calculations might deliberately exclude government spending to obscure impact of DOGE cuts.

The Trump administration may exclude government spending from GDP, obscuring the impact of DOGE cuts
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says he could take government spending out of his agency's reports on gross domestic product.

When Mike Myers wore his "Canada Is Not For Sale" t-shirt on SNL, he mouthed a secret code: "elbows up."
It's a reference to the great Gordie "Mr. Elbows" Howe who punished those that messed with his team.
You heard him Canada: elbows up.
If anyone asks why, tell them that Mike Myers sent you.

Musk is very obviously the un-elected President of the USA.
🚨 BREAKING: This is beyond outrageous. Elon Musk, his cranky mother Maye, and one of his young kids were chauffeured in Air Force One and Marine One—straight to the White House, where they’re apparently staying.
WTF is going on? It goes without saying, this is not normal. 🙄

This is a ticking timebomb in Ontario. Measles vaccination rate must be above ~95% to prevent serious outbreaks. As predicted, the RFK effect is making its way north.

congratulations to No Other Land, which may be the first film to win a major Oscar but not theatrical distribution.
The Most Relevant Movie in Theaters Is Poised to Make Oscar History. It Would Be a Shameful First.
It swept the critics’ awards and seems like an Oscars lock, yet it still doesn’t have a distributor.
