Today I want to share with you a statement by former federal judge Mark L. Wolf explaining why he resigned from the federal bench in early November. I found it sobering and troubling. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/winner-of-this-weeks-joseph-welch

And Now… a Story About a Frozen Train and the Saskatchewan Town That Became Family.

It was Christmas Day, 2017.

Somewhere in the endless plains of Saskatchewan, a Via Rail train carrying 98 passengers ground to a halt.

The cause?

Imagine there was a chemical spill which caused all adolescent boys to stop maturing emotionally at around age 12.

Now imagine what the world would look like a decade or so later.

We’re living in a partial version of that. It explains so much of what’s happening.

Observations from Montreal An ever-changing collection of commentary and observations by Montrealers or about Montreal politics and culture.

β€œA report by the CBC revealed that Pierre Poilievre hired the team behind Canada Proud to β€˜boost his messages online.’ The organization has since been caught running disinformation campaigns targeting Mark Carney. Canadians deserve to know every last detail about Poilievreβ€˜s ties to Canada Proud.”

Canadian filmmaker Sean Menard recently uncovered nearly 100 reels of film chronicling Terry Fox and his Marathon of Hope in 1980

This previously unseen footage is coming out later this year in a documentary titled β€œRun Terry Run”. It looks incredible

Dear community, last time you helped us reach lots of new BlueSky followers. Now that we see that there is an exodus on X, it is important that these people can also find us on BlueSky for all necessary updates about Ukraine.

Would you like to share this message, preferably with a quote? Thanks!

This crowd really isn’t competent enough to run a lemonade stand, let alone a nuclear power. I wouldn’t trust them with my family’s recipe book.

I hope to god Canada and other allies are beyond careful with what they share with these goobers.

The Quebec referendum, Alberta separation and the politics of Big Oil in Canada 45 years after the first Quebec referendum, Canada's still searching for a path to economic sovereignty and Alberta wants to separate.

"Alberta has never paid for Quebec daycare. This is a lie deliberately spread by politicians who’d rather demonize Quebecers than ask tough questions of an American-owned fossil fuel sector that’s ruthlessly exploited Canadians and sucked nearly all the value out of the oil fields.”
