I think in this particular case, I would do the strategic vote even if I felt strongly for the green or NDP candidate ONLY because it is PP and it would be so glorious if he lost his seat.
The swing in Pierre Poilievre’s own Carlton riding is really telling of this election cycle.
His once VERY safe seat is now in the “Likely” category.

Beyond how beautifully Elisapie interprets classic rock songs, with creative choices like using throat singing to cover Metallica, her music also brings the Inuktitut language to a wider audience.

Opinions on language are not based in any objective standards of beauty or aesthetics, but rather on our attitudes about the people speaking them.

This is going to happen in more and more places. Zip tying and carrying off people who express opposition
There's going to be news about a woman illegally detained and being forcely removed from a Coeur d'Alene Idaho Town Hall meeting taking place at the high school by men that would not identify themselves wearing plain clothes because she opposed the republican viewpoints.

I’m available to write or speak about the fentanyl border theater if any outlets are looking for someone. Have been covering fentanyl and drug policy for about a decade and have great sources
Also, this is reason #891378 that I'm pissed off at @manishakrishnan.bsky.social's job loss because if she were still at Vice, she'd be wiping the goddamn floor with all these idiotic takes on Canada's role in the fentanyl crisis.

Apropos of nothing, just a reminder that McNally Robinson is independent, 100% Canadian, and family-owned. We pay taxes and those taxes circulate into the local/Canadian economy. We employ Canadians and the two owners are Canadians. Just FYI
