So the news today is that both the Alberta separatists and the Quebec separatists have been holding (or seeking) meetings with the Trump administration — colluding with a foreign power in the service of its ambition to break up the country and absorb it piece by piece. For how long are we going to continue to treat this as a legitimate political “option”?

"Many who have worked closely with Bradford over the past eight years think he is almost uniquely unlikable. I’m not sure I’ve ever covered anyone who inspires so much personal vitriol. Many - and not just progressives - think he would be a terrible mayor"

Great piece, and this probably sums up Bradford for me
I had breakfast with Brad Bradford and asked him what I think is the defining question of his campaign: Why do so many people from all ends of the political spectrum seem to dislike him so much as a person? thestar.com/opinion/contribu…

David Cochrane: "We're about 20 days away from the 25th anniversary of 9/11, and Donald Trump has imposed a 50% tariff on the country that gave refuge to thousands of its citizens on the day of the worst terrorist attack in American history."

It's what I keep thinking about - imagine someone as inexperienced, arrogant, petulant & maga-adjacent negotiating with the US. He would have caved at the first opportunity. We are beyond lucky to have Carney right now. He has brains, a spine, & an obviously deep love of country.
No velociraptors, just dirt.
What a wonderful article on Two Paddocks and Sam Neill.

As I just said on radio Ford’s team posting AI doctored photos of the crowd trying to make protestors look like supporters is deceitful and trying to hide his unpopularity with a fake image is pathetic! No wonder he’s rate worst Premier in Canada! #Onpoli youtu.be/HnBPDldEK5c?si=Keca…
