"The book is well worth the attention of any Canadian who cares about the future of the country and its ragged, impressive — if flawed — democratic political life."

OMG, to all you brave, mostly anonymous jerks on X: it’s not a participation parade. There will be a banner up in the Dome next year for the 2025 American League champion @BlueJays. That’s worth celebrating. So are the memories. #WANTITALL

The 'Social Democratic' grandees have got to at least grudgingly learn that if you denigrate, immiserate, censor and exclude your own base, there will be no one to come to your defense when menaced and heckled by liberals and reactionaries.

Quoting Andrew Wakefield on vaccines is like quoting Charles Ponzi on financial investments

The whole Third Term Project isn’t actually about Trump. The people behind it know he will likely be dead or enfeebled by 2029. It is about them, the vastly unpopular group around Trump, wanting to grift us forever without elections.

Vlad never misses.
Simply incredible.

“Every time the government breaks a strike, it sends a message to CEOs everywhere that they don’t need to negotiate in good faith with workers. And every time the Prime Minister lets workers’ rights violations slide in union workplaces, it tells bosses in non-unionized environments that they can get away with even more severe abuses.”

An NDP Premier touting Ronald Reagan. Evidence of the complete failure of Canadian left politics. Begin again!

Most of my ardent critics on here are bots or dudes who don't even believe viruses exist.
So I think I'm doing OK.

These Trump administration people (and their spouses) are not only unqualified, they are batshit crazy. And wtf is Jillian Michaels doing on there?
🚨 Stephen Miller’s wife just had a full-on meltdown on live TV.
When Cenk Uygur called out her lies from the Piers Morgan show, she snapped, accusing him of being “anti-Semitic” and “racist,” and even claiming people attacked her kids (they didn’t).
She was shaking with rage over being called a liar.

If crime is way down, why are Canadians so afraid of crime? And what are politicians funnelling money into? My latest -- they are boosting policing to police us ... not keep us safe (unless you're rich, which trust me, you are not.)

We defeated smallpox.
Doubled life expectancy.
Put satellites in orbit.
Cracked the genetic code.
Science wasn’t perfect. But it saved more lives than any ideology, religion, or war ever took.

Electrifying call from Dan Shulman. He is having a better World Series than Ohtani himself.

REMINDER: Strikes are a last resort. But they’re supposed to be disruptive. Without disruption, working people would have no leverage; we would have to swallow whatever the powerful force down our throats. Striking & supporting strikers is how we fight back & balance the scales.

Trump is deliberately trying to crush our value-added manufacturing industries, while at the same time being happy to gobble up our raw commodity exports. If that sounds like a colonial relationship, you’re exactly right: Trump is trying to turn us into a defacto colony.
Donald Trump’s new 25% tariff on medium & heavy-duty trucks is the latest blatant attack on Canada’s manufacturing sector. When PM @MarkJCarney meets Trump tomorrow, he must send a clear message: Canada won’t back down— we’re ready to defend Canadian jobs with whatever it takes.
