Regardless of the judgment to be rendered in todayโ€™s London hockey trial, if the NHL allows any of those young men to play again, one will never watch another league game, ever.
Imagine placing those thugs in the position of role models for ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆkids.

Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned โ€“ again โ€“ in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted. To join me in standing up for the freedom to read, go to pen.org/action. @penamerica.bsky.social @topshelfcomix.bsky.social @idwpublishing.com

The Minister of Education does not have time to read the books that he is banning. Nor does he have time to read documents that require his signature.

So, about this quick fact, #ableg โ€“ the document describing the decision to Congress "cites scientific studies that are unpublished or under dispute and mischaracterizes others."

The UCP are interested in banning some books. They've put together a survey. It doesn't ask for any names/personal info.

I am a sucker for the pomp and ceremony around Throne Speeches and what it represents as a constitutional monarchy and Westminster Parliamentary system. And the one by King Charles III had the pomp on steroids. But the content, delivery, and occasion was absolutely essential.

A raccoon climbed up the side of Ottawa Public Library. This feels like a metaphor for something.

Btw, it made it to the roof.

You are American. We aren't. I like that Canada has kept ties to Britain and we have 2 official languages. I think dictators are weird as are presidential military parades.

โ€œPierre Poilievre โ€” the man who built his brand on โ€œfiscal restraintโ€, who rails against government waste and inflationary spending โ€” quietly presided over the largest spending year by a federal opposition leader in Canadian history.โ€

We donโ€™t have to listen to Pierre Poilievre in the House of Commons for now, but Andrew Scheer can be just as annoying.

She is now creating a narrative that Carney will micro manage Cabinet. Identifying only problems. Can we feel hopeful for a minute?

It doesn't cost anything to get your name on a ballot in Canada and contrary to Conservative complaints, the Liberal Party isn't behind this.

The NDP are broke and can't manage an election for a while. And have to hold a leadership race and create a policy platform that progressives can get behind. Its not healthcare and housing.
