And renouncing US citizenship isn’t easy or cheap.

The FIFA trophy for Trump, gold hands reaching up to a gold planet....

The desperate hands of the global south seek to take back an overheated world. Seriously, what's next? The McHamburglar trophy in gourmet cooking? The Pol Pot Human Rights medal? The Jeffrey Epstein childcare grant? The Vladimir Putin democracy fellowship? The Weinstein-Cosby feminism prize?

I’ve lived in the wake of the Montreal massacre for more than three decades, and it still catches me short when 6 December comes around. I wish these women were still here, and I’m grateful for the work that is done to honour them and call out the violence & misogyny that took their lives.

UMP is thrilled to share that @choicereviews.bsky.social has recognized MANOMIN as an Outstanding Academic Title of 2025! This prestigious list reflects the best scholarly titles reviewed by Choice in 2025. Congrats to Brittany Luby, the Niisaachewan Anishinaabe Nation, and the whole Manomin team!

Hoo Boy, the monopoly theme just keeps giving!

How come nobody has written about the bathing in the fur trade?

Thomas King: As we learn another ‘hero’ is non-Indigenous, let’s not ignore a broader cultural problem Indigenous people are more than stories. We deserve a future where our identities are not commodities, and accountability is measured by actions that build trust and repair harm.

Maybe this pipeline business is the moment when the colonial fantasy that is Carney starts to really unravel.

I’m waiting for a bus that is supposed to come every 14 minutes and is currently 38 minutes and this math is hard.

Decades!

Never a dull moment down the road.
