El periodismo no sirve para nada El trabajo de los informadores sigue siendo crucial para fiscalizar el poder del dinero, como muestra el ‘caso Epstein’

Heated Rivalry has quietly become one of Canada’s most potent cultural exports. The Walrus editorial fellow Amarah Hasham-Steele breaks down the numbers behind its staggering success and what they mean for Canadian soft power: https://thewalrus.ca/heated-rivalry-numbers/

What to watch this weekend: Anything but the Super Bowl, bro Two chess documentaries, the Muppets and a Radio-Canada comedy are here to distract you from the U.S. football bonanza

Based on the comments on my Don't Watch the Super Bowl column, it seems a lot of Canadians are, indeed, planning to skip it this year because... America.

Viewership was down 15% year-over-year in Canada for the 2025 edition compared to up 3% in the US. www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/film...

Congratulations again to the team behind Heated Rivalry. Your success is a powerful reminder of why it matters to invest in Canadian content and stories.

Mark Carney on X: "We’re buying Canadian, and we’re building Canadian. https://t.co/JpKhEFKA2P" / X We’re buying Canadian, and we’re building Canadian. https://t.co/JpKhEFKA2P

Carney estaba esperando el “it’s my party and I cry if I want to” de Trump con este “sujétame el cubata” x.com/markjcarney/...

To defend press freedom around the world, we must defend it in Gaza, writes actor Javier Bardem and CPJ CEO @jodieginsberg.bsky.social, in an op-ed for @elpais.com.

La brújula de Carney: "We actively take on the world as it is, not wait around for a world we wish to be."

Carney Is the Crisis Manager Canada Needs - Macleans.ca The PM’s rousing Davos speech proves he can lead Canada—and maybe the world

"In the long run, the triumphant speech will not ensure Carney will be a successful prime minister. Everything depends on whether he can produce economic results for Canadians. For the moment, it still seems clear that he’s the best-placed person to try." macleans.ca/politics/car...

He inherited a $6-billion surplus from the Liberals and turned it into a record-breaking $13-billion deficit. How in the world do 40% of Quebecers still continue to trust the CAQ on the economy?

Si el discurso interno para el everyday man no se maneja bien, personajillos populistas como Poilievre volverán a ganar el fervor popular. Al ciudadano medio le importa un pito el orden mundial. Quiere seguridad: casa, comida, salud. Hace falta explicar la hoja de ruta internamente en estos términos

Cierto. Carney necesita un mini-yo que internamente explique en un lenguaje accesible las medidas y avances en temas como la vivienda (gran drama canadiense), sanidad (salud mental y drogadicción, acceso a médicos de familia), inflación y empleo. Y de paso, apacigüe los ánimos en Alberta y Quebec.

Esta frase que ha dicho hoy Carney durante su discurso en Davos ya la dijo el otro día cuando una periodista le preguntó sobre los peligros de aliarse con China, un país que viola sistemáticamente los derechos humanos: "We actively take on the world as it is, not wait for a world we wish to be."

El francés de Carney es bastante regulero y en Quebec le dan mucha caña, pero no me imagino a ningún otro líder empezando un discurso tan brutal en un momento tan crítico en una lengua que no domina. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uStu...
