I lived in the States for two years and found it to be a very insular world. I was only 90 minutes by road from the Canadian border, but I might as well have been from another planet. If an American doesn't win a medal or die in another country, you won't hear any mention of it in the US media.

She wrote a letter to Trudeau demanding more immigration to Alberta! This is trumpian level incoherence.

Beyond the slogans and the easy answers, the analogies just don't work: Alberta is nothing like Norway and never would be.

No, most Canadians did not think, ‘Great, this guy’s trying to help.’ And "way off the reservation"? Who talks like that?

Yes, Danielle Smith is a separatist Alberta's premier says she supports "a sovereign Alberta within a united Canada." Her actions tell a much different story — one that makes her position on the issue impossible to ignore.

If it walks like a duck...

I wonder what money paid for the sign.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

You may already have done this, but perhaps you could make a pitch to Statistics Canada as it reviews questionnaire content for the 2031 Census.

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.

But did you look at the judge's order?

It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."

Fish are flooding back into Toronto’s Don River This month, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority shared its findings from the Don River in 2025, which included documenting over 20 fish species. For the first time since 2012, an Atlantic Salmon...

The Don River was once so polluted with waste, garbage + chemicals that it caught on fire. The water itself, which flows towards Lake Ontario, was so inhospitable that it hosted life’s very antithesis. Now, researchers are starting to see a rebirth. For @nationalobserver.com

Trump Is About to Find Out What Every Bully in History Has Found Out Last year, Trump had a lot of people scared. But there are good—and encouraging—reasons to think that this year will be different.
