This is *the champagne* of obsequious pre-Davos chickenshittery. Do better.

Thinking about Ubi Halifax employees today, especially the union organizers. You guys did the right thing, it's not your fault the world fucking sucks.

This is rapidly becoming a single issue litmus test for me. Politicians who parrot Ivy League-brained Substack consultants on this one deserve to lose, and if they don’t manage to lose their primaries they’ll lose to Republicans

US Trade Dominance Will Soon Begin to Crack Savvy countries will discover there’s a way to mitigate the harm incurred by Trump’s tariffs—and it’ll boost their own economies while making goods cheaper too.

Just wow. @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy came out swinging in this article. He's right though and that's the coolest part.

Unwitting? Say more about how Republicans don’t know they’re working for Russia. I’m fascinated.

I’m gonna guess most of them are VIP members at Wanktube, though? Y’know?

Not everyone gets to ‘just get over’ dispossession, CPTSD, grief, bad water, etc.
As with the statue of Wellington in Glasgow, it’s just going to turn into entertainment for the locals, and yet more throwing bad money after good.

Nobody needs their spray cheese eating advice on treachery.

His many issues aside, there’ve been lots of councillors who hate the downtown (like the Premier does) and will happily vote against any snow plow they don’t get. We should de-amalgamate.

They’re about to starve themselves on the Canadian potash tariff they all voted for to make their eggs cheaper.
Buckle up.

In which a publication out of ideas (and probably one intern minding the store) gets AI to write a piece in defence of its dipshit business plan. Fuck them.

We need to revive street level altweeklies that employ humans with brains so we can talk amongst ourselves again and more where the gig is.

The CO2 extractors: Alberta oil vs Canadian climate policies About the only thing Albertans produce more than crude oil are angry demands to kill off Canada’s climate policies — policies they claim have been throttling its oil industry. This series of charts sh...

More brilliant and crucial reporting by @bsaxifrage.bsky.social in the @nationalobserver.com. (Here’s hoping Canada’s Climate Backtrackers and their apologists read it … and absorb it.) www.nationalobserver.com/2025/12/15/a...

I can’t help but think seasoned military officers with a grasp of geopolitical history since Kissinger could only be using ‘again’ for dramatic effect.

Don’t let this happen, #Halisky.
Our music and art scene was what made this the coolest city in North America for a while, and there are cynical bastards working to privatize everything that doesn’t move, at your expense.
Push back against the beigification of everything in sight.

He’s handed me a few over the years. Runs events out of the Greenwich community centre.

Agreed, they shat their loudly purported rock’n’roll. Spoke at a party last night with a young post doc who just doesn’t stream anything and it was delightful. I’m a fan of the vintage shop boombox and tapes, analog campus radio and other public broadcasters, but following this for gizmo ideas.

They should be slapped off every face that has them.

Norway did the math: Arm Ukraine to win, or pay double when Russia does A new study finds Europe faces a simple choice: back Ukraine now for half the price, or pay far more later to deter a stronger Russia.

"If Russia wins, Europe faces 6-11 million additional Ukrainian refugees and a €256 billion emergency rearmament scramble to defend the Baltics. Total bill? Double what arming Ukraine would cost."

HARD FACT: EU dithering at this critical point is suicide.

The great part about this one is you can have a bunch of different drop-down feeds from the top based on interest, so I have one just for things that happen around the city, one for cooking, songwriting, etc. It’s a great way of metering your dose.

WADR and empathy to the point, ‘one man’, me arse. There’s a whole regime behind him, a SCOTUS that took what, 20 years to stack, 77M people who voted for him, 90M who enabled it by abstaining. They charge us for even gig work visas, we don’t charge them. You know? They just thought they’d be ok.

How to Avoid US-Based Digital Services—and Why You Might Want To Amid growing concerns over Big Tech firms aligning with Trump administration policies, people are starting to move their digital lives to services based overseas. Here's what you need to know.

Zuck said Meta is in a "partnership" with White House; Google is following suit. They are all that stand between you and Trump admin data grabs.

Here's a resource collection of non-US services to replace email, search, docs, music, video, backups, and more:

It isn’t safe for anyone from anywhere to visit there. We represent $20B as the biggest customers in NYC/LV/TX/TN, but losing the global tourism imprint would mean more like $2T.

Got a guitar and a meal and a spectacular Murphy bed for ya in Halifax.

Nobody from anywhere is safe going there.
