Huge crowd tonight on Vancouver Island to see MP Charlie Angus speak at the “Canada Resistance Tour”—and an amazing shoutout to MeidasTouch from the Maple Meidas in Cumberland, Port Alberni, K’ómoks First Nation, Nanaimo, and the Comox Valley.

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

New in PN: Yes, they voted for this

"Perhaps the most damning commentary about the US electorate and media is that Trump never even tried to conceal his malicious intentions and deranged policy positions."
Yes, they voted for this

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.

What will you do?

The Western Standard welcomed a member of Germany’s far-right Alternative für Deutschland onto its podcast for analysis on Canada’s federal election

Last year, a German high court issued a ruling finding the AfD is pursuing anti-immigrant and anti-democratic goals

Seriously: arrest him. The governor should have state police arrest him and charge him with election fraud. Then immediately hold a press conference explaining you arrested someone for committing election fraud and will continue to do so. Just fucking arrest him already. You can actually do this

Hey Canada, if your primary motivation this election is to avoid splitting the vote on the left, this website can help guide you to the best option for your riding. I hope all the lefties in Skeena-Bulkley Valley are going to rally around @taylorbachrach.bsky.social !

As I just said on radio what is most alarming about Danielle Smith tape is not the attempted collusion with a foreign government to interfere in our election it's that she said Poilievre is "in sync" with "new direction" in America which is a brutal autocracy with a crashing economy 🇨🇦 #CanadaSky

Reporting on politics is a bit of a downer these days.

Reporting on all the great BC spirits that can replace your US bourbon is, on the other hand, a lot of fun.

On Saturday Trump abducted a legal US resident w/o a warrant because he peacefully protested. His wife is a US citizen, is 8 mo pregnant, & neither she, nor his lawyer know where he is.

I was doing so well this morning! Put on some laundry, took the dogs out, started making a big brunch, did dishes, fed dogs. Feeling pretty smug. Then I tried to make coffee without putting a mug under the coffee maker 🤦🏼‍♀️

In 1890, the Tariff Act came into place in the United States. It placed tariffs on imports of up to 50%.
While touted as a way to build American industry, there was also the hope it would force an annexation of Canada. It backfired.
Let's learn more.

Easy to lose this in the noise of the day, but the prime minister of Canada just said the US president, leader of the global hegemon, wants to soften us up economically so he can annex us.

That is one of the most remarkable statements, and realities, in our history.
