I'm not a professional commentator. No one pays me for my political opinions and they aren't for sale.

I'm a lawyer who fights for democracy who built Democracy Docket from scratch because we need independent pro-democracy media. For $10 a month you can help it do its vital work. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

Today the Supreme Court granted review in an important case for the outcome of the 2026 elections. At stake is the fate of tens or even hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots.

A Con has crossed the floor to Libs! Is it Poilievreโ€™s lying about Canada having war zones? Or his attacking RCMP? His incessant negativity? His smarminess? Being a two time loser in the same election? Fact majority of ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ women canโ€™t stand him? His regressive social policies? His being a โ€œdickโ€?

Bruce Arthur: The B.C. ostrich affair is not about the birds This isnโ€™t really about the ostriches, but rather it's about basic biosecurity in the age of viruses, and whether a government can make and enforce laws and policy.

The Supreme Court has denied the appeal of the ostrich cull, and as I wrote, the ostrich case was not about the ostriches: it was about governance, law, and biosafety. What I did not include: this will likely become even more of a shitshow when the birds are culled. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

Nothing to this one but venting: The transphobes are the most cowardly of bigots, people so terrified of what's in their pants & what's not in their hearts that they make it a calling to terrorize those who've done the work to know who they are. Mice have more courage, slugs have more grace.

The Supreme Court allows ostrich farm cull to proceed. People are shocked that potential transmitters of deadly avian disease will be killed on an ostrich farm that... (checks notes) normally kills them for meat. #cdnpoli

Release The Ostriches' Grippe The Supreme Court of Canada has cleared the way for the ostrich cull, but fascist extremism isn't so easy to euthanize

Today the Supreme Court of Canada cleared the way for the H5N1 outbreak on the BC ostrich farm to finally be contained. Unfortunately, the deaths of the ostriches won't end the disease their followers have spread.

So, it would be interesting to ask the constituents who voted for him if they did so because he was the best person to represent them or because he was the conservative candidate : ability vs partyโ€ฆ

PM Mark Carney appeals to red Tories like me &those who believe the fed govt can kickstart growth in the economy by investing in infrastructure

With Poilievre taking the CPC further right, moderate CPC MPs need to ask themselves- Which leader best serves their constituents?

I think itโ€™s PM Carney
