No objection here. And let's quickly put Bob Dylan on the $5 bill. www.cbc.ca/news/world/m...

For the record, I'm fine with a state funeral for any SCTV alumni.

Catherine O'Hara was absolutely brilliant. A common thread among many of my friends of my vintage is we all loved SCTV.

First Nations leaders urge Albertans to oppose separation Chiefs say allowing separatist petition to proceed is a direct violation of treaty agreements and the Constitution

I appreciate the efforts of Indigenous groups raising their collective voices when the Premier of this Province won't. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

Really, Alberta?

This is very disturbing data. Trump ahead of Carney among Conservatives. Is Canada headed for a U.S. - like division?

Progressives are getting too excited at the thought of bringing down Noem. I've always seen her as an eager participant in this American tragedy, but not an architect.

Neil Young gives Greenland a year’s worth of free access to his music Musician said he hopes the gift will ease ‘unwarranted stress’ from Trump’s annexation threats

Love Neil. Though it still sounds strange hearing him refer to Washington as "our government". www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/musi...

I interrupt my horror with what is happening south of our border to recognize the great musical contributions of Sly Dunbar. RIP.

Very sorry to hear this. Kirsty and I were in the same class in grade 7 and 8. Kirsty was smart and generous at Dixon Grove Middle School and Canada was fortunate to have her in parliament.

Support still embarrassingly high.

Most Fox News Reporting on Minneapolis Shooting Supports Official Version

Even after losing a $700 million lawsuit over intentionally misleading viewers, Fox keeps lying to America with catastrophic results. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/25/b...

A disturbing thread.

Somewhere deep in the bowels of Ottawa tonight, a lonely speechwriter takes a bow.

Mark Carney gave an excellent speech today in Davos. I fully support his point that medium powers have much to gain by working together, and have argued as such for national communications policy.

Opinion: Mad King Trump would break the world to gain Greenland Will Americans stop their President from going too far?

"The alarming thing is that, on the whole, the American public doesn’t seem to have noticed how far that has gone".
Hasn't noticed or doesn't care? www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/opi...

Another unfounded MAGA idea that I would argue has its roots among those who would identify as progressive. When I started researching 5G ten years ago the first question I would hear from colleagues was always about ill-founded health concerns. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Opinion | Trump Broke the World Order. Now What? With the president’s actions in Venezuela, we’re entering a new era. Here’s what it could look like.

"Since the Trump administration captured President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela and announced plans to run the country, the world has been confronted with the fact that longstanding rules are falling into irrelevance".
Really? Only this last week @nytimes.com ? www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

The biggest media story of 2026—and why the mainstream press is hoping you’ll ignore it: Peter Menzies in The Hub | Macdonald-Laurier Institute Bereft of new ideas, broadcasters will continue to gut their newsrooms while insisting the government take responsibility for funding their increasingly apparitional structures.

I know Menzies means this as a critique but "an increasingly well-funded and dominant CBC" sounds pretty good to me the day after the Corporation for Public Broadcasting shut down in the U.S. There is nothing constructive in this piece. macdonaldlaurier.ca/the-biggest-...

Unbelievable that the U.S. has just let this slide.

Opinion: We need to prepare for the possibility that the U.S. uses military coercion against Canada After the capture of Venezuela’s president and Trump’s musing about Greenland, Canada must consider the worst-case scenario

Did not expect to see this article in my lifetime. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Between relentlessly attacking "mainstream media" and now "neoliberalism", the MAGA crowd is conquering the world via standard issue undergraduate papers.

He might not care, but the tech people building his ballroom care a great deal.

I argue the opposite: Canada needs to work in concert with other democratic countries to ensure national sovereignty in the face of global tech giants.

Opinion: Canada should be prepared to give up the Online Streaming Act in U.S. trade talks If Ottawa hopes to stand firm on certain trade issues, it should ditch a law that has been an implementation mess, even if it will be costly

The author of this piece is re-upping the same argument he and a small powerful group of detractors have made for years. Carney already gave up the Digital Services Tax - what did that do for Canadian negotiations? www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Trump says U.S. will ‘run’ Venezuela after capturing Maduro in military strike Venezuelan leader faces drug charges as U.S. President verbally asserts American dominance in the Western Hemisphere

Clearly the Alberta premier's charm offensive at Mar a Lago was lacking: "control of Venezuela’s oil reserves would allow the U.S. to end its free-trade deal with Canada... “The U.S. doesn’t need anything from Canada. Free trade is over” www.theglobeandmail.com/world/us-pol...

there are two different eastern limits on the maps.

Nothing against @radiofreetom.bsky.social but why is he 50% of my feed on this platform tonight?

Twice a year, the Albert's Jamaican spicy cranberry sauce I stuffed into my suitcase before leaving Toronto is worth its weight in gold.

As a proud Gen X'er, there is only one Grinch, the 1966 special with Boris Karloff. I asked my son why he torments me by preferring the newer Benedict Cumberbatch version. He said the new Grinch treats his dog better. Upon reflection, the boy has a point: Chuck Jones did not spare the whip in 1966.
