Bruce Arthur: Why Don Cherry doesn’t belong in the Order of Canada, no matter what conservatives say If you remember all of Cherry, you remember how he divided more and more of the country as it changed and he didn’t.

Conservatives think Don Cherry deserves the Order of Canada, or at least, that they should politicize national honours for political gain. It’s no-dummy, know-nothing, argument-starting populism, rooted in false nostalgia. In other words, it’s almost a tribute to Don. www.thestar.com/sports/nhl/w...

Absolutely shredded and sun-faded progressive pride flag hanging from an urban home, tangled in the bushes by the wind.

Neighbor’s flag is looking like a great representation of being queer in Ohio right now

So battered and bruised but the bigots haven’t managed to tear us down yet

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.

A truly extraordinary moment.

We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.

Act like it.

I’ve never seen anything like that.

That was chaos. Canada was clearly the shot rock.

Mark Ideson left no doubt. The Canadian wheelchair curling team goes undefeated to win Paralympic gold. Outstanding,

JUST IN

Mark Ideson has been named one of Canada’s closing ceremony flag-bearers. He just found out here after getting his gold medal.

Natalie Wilkie also named closing ceremony flag-bearer. She won four medals. Was opening ceremony flag-bearer too.

With today’s thrilling wheelchair curling comeback victory, Canada ensures the streak stays alive.

That streak involves winning a medal at every Paralympics since wheelchair curling was introduced in 2006.

Canada is the only nation to have medaled at every Paralympics.

I know that there are some Canadian baseball fans who are upset about this, and see it as further erasure of the Montréal Expos.

But remember that when Dawson reached free agency in 1987, the Expos offered him a PAY CUT, and actively colluded with other teams against him.

Chiefs from four First Nations communities are urging the public to please approach Aaron Gunn with no caution whatsoever. He is completely harmless, though momentarily unsettled by the alarming possibility that someone might acknowledge the land before a meeting.
Yesterday on social media, the MP appeared to crash out and demand to speak to the manager of land acknowledgements, a position that observers confirm does not exist.
Chiefs whose territories make up the riding had two words for the MP - Chillax, Bud. 
Land acknowledgements have never seized private property, cancelled a mortgage, repossessed a pickup truck, or altered a single title deed anywhere in Canada.
They are simply people recognizing the history of the place where they are standing.
No one is going anywhere. Canada will survive the brief moment of honesty.
Until then, Chiefs across the region continue to reassure the public that land acknowledgements have not, to date, resulted in any land back.

Aaron Gunn: If the federal government truly believes in the private property rights of Canadians, they should probably stop opening every public meeting by proclaiming the gathering on the “unceded territory” of this or that First Nation.
Doing so reinforces the radical and dangerous legal concept that most Canadians live on “stolen land”. This is Canada. One country. For all Canadians. 𝗠𝗣 𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀

Conservative MP for Powell River–North Island, Aaron Gunn, is, uh, well he’s being trolled a bit for his condemnation of land acknowledgements yesterday. Message from K’omoks, Klahoose, Homalco & Tla’amin Nations: “Chillax, bud.” #bcpoli

Dear everyone,

As per the post from the Bodleian librarian below, AI bots and scrapers are putting just about every website under great pressure, British History Online included.

A lot of excellent tech staff are working hard to keep everything working, but outages and siruptions are inevitable.

If you need the real news watch CBC or BBC. They correct every Trump lie. Which is pretty much everything he says.

Shawn Micallef: Doug Ford is showing contempt for Toronto over Billy Bishop airport. Why won’t Olivia Chow — or anyone — fight back? Residents of Toronto were not publicly consulted over the provincial premier’s decision to take over the island airport to make way for jets.

"And what about the 1.5 million visitors to the islands every year? Unlike Ford, most likely don’t have cottages to escape to. The island is their cottage and expanding the airport will degrade that experience profoundly."

@shawnmicallef.bsky.social calls for the public to be heard.

This not only protects consumers but also is an environmental issue - producing goods that consumers cannot repair and end up in landfills is disgraceful - I had two LG fridges that I couldn’t get repaired due to where I live & lack of service technicians that ended up as landfill - it’s ridiculous!

Wow. I guess this generation needs to learn these hard lessons again.

I remember. We got a sugar cube with Polio vaccine on it. Nobody complained. Our parents were terrified. You just did it.

The current crop of anti vax politicians are thoroughly amoral assholes.
