A Personal Note of Gratitude Dear Readers,

Fiction. Human created and sorely needed in this world. I am grateful to receive another grant and grateful to my readers. Please consider breaking from your doom scrolling for a bit. #fiction open.substack.com/pub/davidmun...

Behind every #MarkCarney cheerleader's assertion that his meek, #ElbowsDown cowardice is smart statesmanship is a fundamental misunderstanding of how Trump has NEVER respected his subservients & ALWAYS rolls right over them.

PM Trudeau showed no weakness and won most exchanges with him

Mark Carney was a Trojan horse and Canada is fucked. They keep Pollievre around to make Carney look like the good guy but we are experiencing Harper 2.0 and worse.

Trumps lies aren’t the problem. It’s the chuds cheering and waving signs behind him.

Ever seen The Coffee Table?

The ramifications are already being felt. I’m in Toronto. A medication I’ve taken for thirty years and absolutely need is now hard to get. Shortages.

trudeau était un meilleur négociateur que carney

carney en campagne nous a promis de sortir le canada de la zone d'influence américaine

depuis qu'il est pm, c'est humiliation après humiliation

He is a real dud.

Hate to say it but with the way things are going, that could happen. Waving around a bogey man only works so many times. But who knows. Maybe this government still has some progressiveness to it, but so far, I think many are freaked out.

The problem with your argument is that those who voted liberal were lied to thus abandoning the NDP. This is not what they voted for. And the fact that the liberals and conservatives are voting together maybe for the first time in recent history is proof that progressive Canadians were swindled.

When our son was in kindergarten he read more books for the scholastic book thing (challenge?) than any other kid in his school (all grades). Children loving reading. Imagine what this world could be.

Last year, I signed 4yo up to a "1000 Books Before Kindergarten" challenge. Ignoring all the books I had read her up to that point, we just finished book #1000 in 12 months. We finished the challenge with "The Woman Behind the Magic". So proud of her ♥️

Exactly. Not a fan of any of the “ruling class”. They all suck. But him standing up against Bush was a classic moment.

I wasn't a big fan of the Liberals or of Chretian but was very happy that he did not go along with the bs about WMD. I was proud of him that day. I like listening to him now. He's a pulls no punches kind of guy.

I miss Chrétien.

Canadians said no to Trump – so why is Mark Carney pushing a Maga-inspired border bill? | Erica Ifill If it goes ahead we will see the construction of a surveillance state that is in some ways worse than the US, writes political columnist Erica Ifill

This is the correct take. #cdnpoli

"'Elbows up' turned into stares of disbelief at the measures posited by Carney’s Liberal government. It’s one of the most profound political reverses on the Canadian public, proving that while Carney charms us in the front, he is stripping our rights behind our backs."

Ya. I know what the alternative was. That’s the point. We all knew what the alternative was so we went and voted lib. They fooled us and slipped in a Trojan horse.

Canada voted in a real POS.

I’m not sure how people’s argument that Carney is “better than the alternative” when the alternative lost his seat is a flex. Poilievre is irrelevant and using him as a boogie man to justify Carney’s love for dictators & atrocity is non-sensical. He is using your fear to govern poorly

4K followers this week. I know on Bluesky that’s not a huge number but I am humbled regardless. Thanks. And if you want to read my acclaimed working class fiction for free, the link is in my profile! I swear I’m not an asshole but sometimes my protagonists are, lol. (Obligatory cat picture.)

Putin should be invited to ride at the front of the parade. After all, he won. This is his moment of glory as much as Trump’s.

Here's hoping I am the first person to tell you that #TalkingHeads just dropped an astonishing music video of a 40-year-old song -- starring Saoirse Ronan.

You're welcome.

Tomorrow I talk to Josh Homme on the show!

It may not be their plan but the cynic in me worries this is just more reality tv shit and won’t ultimately result in any good outcome.
