Happy Monday from Tuesday. 🔴🟡🌹

Ottawa has the worst job market in Canada, faring worse than cities with tariff-hit industries Economists say the fallout will only deepen as federal cuts to spending and the civil service begin to ramp up

It's funny how the "Return to office" mandate was in large part due to the idea that it would improve the bottom line for downtown Ottawa businesses. Meanwhile, the public service cuts have had a profound ripple effect on the city as a whole.

Good grief. Everyone knows they were just friends.

Canadians make their own ‘Canada House’ – inside an Italian sports bar – for 2026 Olympics A sea of red and white Canadian flags and jerseys – and even Shania Twain karaoke – has muscled its way into a Milanese sports bar during the 2026 Winter Olympic Games.

ICE agents chase children who were waiting at a bus stop for an elementary school

These are elementary school-age children running from adult federal agents attempting to kidnap them

While this is true, nobody in the Trump admin or MAGA movement believes this.

"People are trying to politicize this. It's not about guns. It's not about transgenderism. It's about mental health. It's about a lack of resources. I truly believe that she did everything she could to try to help."

ShuratHaDin "Shurat HaDin has issued urgent legal notices to Stripe, Apple Pay, and all major credit card networks demanding they cut off services to a website that is listing and monetizing Jewish institutions across Toronto. This isn't free speech - it's a threat to Jewish safety."

She needs our prayers.

Correction sur la couverture de la fusillade à Tumbler Ridge La direction de l'information s'excuse de la publication d'une photo présentant à tort une personne comme étant responsable de la fusillade.

Radio-Canada apologizes after it aired a photo circulated by anti-trans hate groups online, falsely claiming it was a photo of the Tumbler Ridge shooter. Damaging and irresponsible, and this apology raises more questions about journalistic process imho.

I discovered Israeli government procurement documents showing a Canadian group that's sending right-wing media personalities on free trips to Israel was granted funds from Israel's foreign ministry

The funding came through an arm of the ministry focused on managing “public perception of Israel”

Group Plotting to Break Up Canada Reveals Jaw-Dropping Details of Secret Meetings With Trump Teams Leaders of the Alberta Prosperity Project say they have met with high-ranking Trump officials three times.

“Dennis Modry, a co-founder of the group, told NBC News that border security, the Canadian pension plan, taxes, national debt, and the possible currency revamp were on the table. So was the development of an independent military”

Shame on the IOC for this awful action. And may the #StreisandEffect ensure that this Ukrainian athlete’s message spreads 10 times as far because of this hamfisted attempt at censorship.

In today’s frightening world, everything is political, & orgs pretending otherwise appear clueless or complicit.

It's remarkable how often the loudest people complaining that journalists are liars and biased are also the first people to share whatever random bullshit pops up in their social media feeds when there is a mass shooting or terrorist attack

This comes in the wake of the IOC banning the Ukrainian skeleton athlete for his helmet depicting athletes and coaches from his country killed in the war with Russia.

The skeleton portion of the Olympic sliding program kicks off tomorrow morning at 3:30 AM ET with men's skeleton. The medal rounds will be Friday at 1:30 PM ET.

If you want an idea of what it's like to get down the track in Cortina on a skeleton sled, this is what it looks like!

Voici la carte qui superpose les décès à vélo aux zones d’audit.

1-La quasi-totalité des décès survient hors du réseau cyclable.

2-L’expansion récente du réseau cyclable répondait à un enjeu d’insécurité routière bien réel.

3-Un réseau cyclable, ça sauve des vies.

Loi sur les nouvelles en ligne | Le Canada doit faire plier Meta Meta a finalement admis qu’il avait besoin de contenu d’actualité et que celui-ci lui était précieux. On pourrait penser qu’après avoir admis cela, Meta ferait comme les entreprises normales et paiera...

L’ex-ptdr de la concurrence 🇦🇺:
Le 🇨🇦 doit faire plier Meta [qui] semble faire activement pression sur le gouvernement pour qu’il vide de sa substance la Loi sur les nouvelles en ligne⁠ afin que Meta puisse rétablir les nouvelles sur ses services (Facebook Instagram) sans avoir à les payer #cdnpol

A Ukrainian athlete forbidden from wearing a helmet commemorating Ukrainian athletes killed in an ongoing invasion of his country while an American can wear a helmet with fighter jets on it after the US recently invaded another country really does say it all about the the IOC's "neutrality" huh.

Canada agreed to pay for the full cost of construction, land acquisition on the US side, and connecting Interstate highway links, AND also isn't charging tolls on the US side of the bridge. This amounts to saying America should be allowed to steal Canadian money.

Can we talk about how batshit crazy it was for Trump to post that China was going to permanently cancel the Stanley Cup if Canada signs a trade deal with them, or do we just assume at this point that he’s completely psychotic?

Bruce Fanjoy: Statement Regarding the Return to Office Policy February 9*, 2026 On February 5th, 2026, the federal government announced an updated Return-to-Office (RTO) policy for federal public servants. Today, I am calling upon the government to reconsider this policy for the following reasons: 1. The new RTO policy makes it harder to achieve the government's priorities of reducing the operating cost of government, improving affordability, and respecting the environment. Instead, it will cost both the government and citizens more and increase pollution. 2. There is little to no evidence that a one-size-fits-all RTO policy will improve productivity or service to Canadians. 3. The RTO policy makes it harder for public servants to balance work with other responsibilities. I believe Canada is better served by a hybrid model that balances a mix of in-office and remote work. The right balance is flexible and depends on circumstances. Done well, a hybrid model reduces the cost of government and benefits workers and all Canadians. To my constituents in Carleton, I hear you. I will continue to press for solutions that work for you and all Canadians. Sincerely, Bruce Fanjoy Member of Parliament for Carleton

BRONZE FOR CANADA 🇨🇦

Megan Oldham, from Parry Sound, wins bronze for Canada in the women’s slopestyle event.

It’s her first Olympic medal in her second Games. And how about this, four years ago she missed qualifying for the final by one spot. Now she’s on the podium.

This whole “return to office” discourse needs to be contextualized within the context of government “workplace modernization” initiatives, which are less about productivity or employee wellness than they are about cutting costs and being cheap

Federal public servants called back to office 4 days a week starting this summer | CBC News The federal government expects its employees to return to in-office work for a minimum of four days a week starting this July.

Two things I’m not sure is widely understood:

1. Many public servants no longer have their own desks and work in transient government co-working spaces

2. Many describe a Kafkaesque existence of going to physical offices only to spend their time on video calls with the people sitting next to them

She quit hockey twice. Now, with no prior international experience, she’s an Olympian Defender Kati Tabin took a winding path to the national team, becoming the oldest player since 2002 to debut for Canada at the Olympics.

Five years ago, Kati Tabin was crashing on a friend’s couch trying to make it as a hockey player.

Twice she thought her career was over.

Now — with no prior international experience — she’s an Olympian and a key piece of the puzzle for Team Canada. www.nytimes.com/athletic/702...
