You disgraced yourself and have destroyed all the goodwill that you generated in Davos. Why are you defaulting to being a Trump stooge after saying you would fight back?

201 Iranians already dead including schoolchildren in Trump’s war to distract from Trump-Epstein Files. And Carney supports this cynical brutality.

Shameful support of imperialism

Shameful! You are disgracing Canada by supporting this aggression. All of your recent goodwill squandered. Turning into Tony Blair

@mark-carney.bsky.social’s “winning streak “ officially over as he falls in line with war mongers in supporting US and Israel’s unjustifiable attacks on Iran.

The stink of Danielle Smith’s immigrant blaming forcthe mess that is Alberta is shameful and has no place in Canadian politics. Alberta screwed up betting everything on oil and Tory governments routinely squandered the cash from oil’s glory days. Alberta’s challenges are home grown not imported.

Review: Baz Luhrmann creates masterful, deeply personal portrait of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll » NEXT Magazine ‘EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert’ is a brilliant look at rock 'n' roll’s biggest solo star and should be seen on big the screen

Director @bazluhrmann has created a characteristically gorgeous, surprisingly intimate performance-based celebration of the King of Rock ‘n’ Rock in his latest film @epic.themovie that deserves to be seen on the biggest screen. Check out our 5-N review here: nextmag.ca/review-baz-l...

Post-secondary students are an asset to any country and creating financial barriers is short sighted as well as unfair. Shameful backsliding in Ontario with tuition hikes and grant cutbacks. Why do we continue to let Doug Ford deconstruct Ontario? Tuition free in smart countries.

Blown away by legendary songwriter Jimmy Webb @hughsroomlive.bsky.social Tuesday night. Mesmerizing master class in songwriting. He’s back there Thursday but sold out.

Interview: ‘Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie’ is hilarious celebration of Toronto and hope » NEXT Magazine Toronto can be ‘your oyster’ if you stay in touch with adolescent spirit, says Matt Johnson

Matt Johnson’s and Jay McCarrol's hilarious new film, “Nirvanna the Band, the Show, the Movie” is the best comedy of the year and one of 2026’s best films. I can’t recommend it enough! I speak with the talented filmmakers for @nextmagcanada here: nextmag.ca/interview-ni...

What a crazy country.

Only two seats total sold for four screenings today in Toronto. Smart film goers in this town not taking the bait.

Review: “Melania” feels as if made by Marie Antoinette during last days of empire » NEXT Magazine Tone-deaf disgrace of a film not even “good bad” just awful

“Melania” is even worse than expected— and I expected it to be horrible. This appalling infomercial for fascist royalty feels like it could have been made by Marie Antoinette in last days of Louis XVI’s despotic regime. Our first zero N review @nextmagazine.bsky.social: nextmag.ca/review-melan...

Toronto’s @thepwhl.com team @torontosceptres.bsky.social play a rare game Scotiabank Arena, a major event and @torontostar-rss.bsky.social doesn’t even send a reporter, they use Canadian Press coverage instead. Pathetic! And then they wonder why readership in decline. Do the work!

Time for @maritstilesndp.bsky.social to seize the moment. Liberals leaderless, adrift and will be for a while and Ford fatigue is inevitable especially as his possibly criminal actions become clearer. Stop playing it safe. Present a real progressive choice and shoot from the hip. People are ready.

Yes but shameful number approve

Remembering Handsome Ned: Music doc celebrates Queen West legend on 39th anniversary of his passing » NEXT Magazine ‘You Left Me Blue: The Handsome Ned Story’ fitting tribute to local music pioneer

Handsome Ned was King of Queen Street in the 1980s until his death from a heroin overdose, 39 years ago on January 10. “You Left Me Blue: The Handsome Ned Story” screens at the Paradise on the anniversary of his death. My feature on brilliant artist, gone too soon here: nextmag.ca/preview-musi...

Meeting with the @northby.bsky.social programming team as we begin booking bands for our 31st festival this June. I love this part of the job. Still find it thrilling to hear undiscovered gems among thousands of applications. So much talent. Can’t wait to share these acts with the world June 10-14.

The definition of genocide.

A new year is like a fresh sheet of ice, full of amazing potential. Wishing you all a spectacular 2026.

CBC’s Here and Now were stooges for last mayoralty election’s joke candidate Brad Bradford getting quotes from him on today’s newscast like he’s voice of civic opposition. He’s not, he’s a shape shifting opportunist who’s stopped working for his constituents while he jumps gun on election campaign.

Hadn’t opened my X account in months. What a cesspool, wont be going back any time soon.

Doug Ford likes to engage in shadow boxing with Trump but at heart he’s a Trumper and shares his comfort with lying, creating false “enemies” as well as commitment to serving his One Percent buddies while pretending to serve “Common Man”. “Hates” drunk drivers but endangers school kids, cyclists.

Great to see @maritstilesndp.bsky.social finally dropping the gloves and going on attack against corrupt Doug Ford. Voters will respond to someone ready to fight for them as Premier deconstructs the province.

Live review: Neil Young gets star studded birthday celebration show worthy of the man himself » NEXT Magazine Canada’s music stars deliver spectacular show that highlights all sides of Young’s sound

Neil Young 80th birthday celebration @masseyhall.bsky.social saw some of Canada’s best musicians showcase all sides of their hero’s songbook. Check out my 5-N @nextmagazine here: nextmag.ca/live-review-...

Neil Young 80th Birthday celebration @masseyhall.bsky.social is killing it. Great pacing, great song selection, great artists. great show. @nextmagazine.bsky.social review coming soon.

Canadian Progressives should learn from Mamdani victory that people are ready for bold ideas. Time to start running to win rather than not to lose. Reaching for the mushy middle mobilizes no one. Time for real change.

So King Donald ordered @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social to spend more on the military — and he did, at the expense of many programs Canadians cherish. So much for Elbows Up. Well, our banker PM wont have to issue another apology to the American King for this compliant budget. Off your knees Mark.

Get ready to see another Canadian tradition as @mark-carney.bsky.social does classic Liberal move as he releases an austerity budget as Liberals, as always, will have campaigned Left and govern Right. Why do we fall for this scam every election as Liberals play Progressives for suckers yet again.
