Opinion: We’re secure, until we’re not. So don’t take Canada’s sovereignty for granted Canada and other Western countries have been lulled into a sense of false stability that is neither shared elsewhere in the world nor reflected consistently through history

Opinion: Brace yourselves: whatever crazy, awful things Trump may have done to date, it’s only going to get worse The world has never before been faced with such a threat. The United States has handed the nuclear codes to a madman, a criminal, a would-be dictator and a moron

My latest, on the importance of thinking ahead, in line with Trump’s rapidly worsening behaviour: we need to be prepared to respond, not to what Trump has done to us to date, but to what he’s likely to do to us in future

Five Failures in the Oval Office (video) America hurt itself badly today.

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.

BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Kate McKinnon: ‘I’ve been profoundly weird my whole life’ Former Saturday Night Live member, actor Kate McKinnon has turned her attention to books.

Love this little clip from Kate McKinnon. I'm also so grateful for mentors who've encouraged me not to dismiss thoughts/feelings/pursuits that have been perceived by others as "too big" or "too weird".

RCMP caused 'serious interference' with press freedom in 2020 Wet'suwet'en raid, review body finds | CBC News The RCMP unreasonably blocked media access and arbitrarily detained a Gitxsan reporter five years ago in a raid on Wet’suwet’en-led blockades in northern British Columbia, the force’s review body says...

The RCMP's conduct towards Ricochet reporter Jerome Turner was "imperious, ill-considered, and arguably unlawful … a feature not a bug," of the operation's design — “a substantial and serious interference with the freedom of the press.”

My Open Letter to Elon Musk From Marc | Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” This is my response.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath.

I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.
