As a Thornhiller it will never stop being hilarious/humiliating that no matter bad the Conservatives do nationally, they'll still win Thornhill with a supermjaority.

The "all anti-Zionism is always and forever antisemitism" people and the "all antisemitism becomes fine if we just say it's anti-Zionism, even if we're ranting about the Talmud" people reinforce one another, even if both sides utterly fail to see it.

There's a decent argument that this column violates the criminal code prohibition against inciting violence. The thing he's accusing Lewis of is also how Yitzhak Rabin's killer tried to 'justify' his actions - removing other Jews to 'protect' the Jewish people. This is sick, and a shanda.

Winnipeg is still clawing its way back from the infrastructure deficit caused (in part) by the tax freeze brought in by the guy who was mayor two before the current mayor, over a decade ago. How is anyone taking Klein seriously?

Always been a fan of the doorknobs in the old Winnipeg courthouse.

Anyone who has ever been involved in s.35 consultations, on either side, will be able to tell you with absolute certainty that there is no possible way that they could accomplish this in a year, never mind 2.5 months. Smith is just straight up lying.

Extremely creepy and weird for the government to pledge loyalty to an industry lobby group.

These images of First Nations community members evacuating Collins, Ontario on motorboats are absolutely surreal www.facebook.com/reel/1548244...

The way to build better major projects in Canada, and build them faster, is to work with Indigenous partners instead of treating them like an obstacle to be managed. Read more in my op-ed published in today's @hilltimes.com www.hilltimes.com/2026/06/03/f...

Fast and furious project approvals a missed opportunity to build real economic power in partnership with First Nations, says our client @coreyshefman.bsky.social, a lawyer for Indigenous peoples, persons and organizations at Olthuis Kleer Townshend LLP: #cdnpoli #Indigenous #majorprojects

So much for evidence based decision making... www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

Perfect. No notes. Somebody get these guys their own show.

Now you may ask yourself, "How did i get this land?" And you may tell yourself, "This is now my beautiful land"

Greenland belongs to Inuit, not Denmark. Greenland is not Denmark's to give away sovereignty to, no matter how small the "pockets".

My brilliant colleagues also helping to land a major win for UNDRIP and indigenous rights in the BC Court of Appeal today!

Earlier today, OKT Partner Kevin Hille was interviewed on CBC’s Edmonton AM to discuss the implications of Bill 14, including how the proposed legislation would reshape referendum rules and remove the safeguards for Treaty and Aboriginal rights. Listen here: www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Very excited for my @oktlaw.bsky.social colleagues who helped secure this result by showing that Alberta separation would interfere with our clients' Treaty rights.

I don't understand how sports people can do this regularly. This is so stressful.

I’m enjoying the games and the drama, but I honestly believe if I was a real fan of either of these teams I’d be dead from a coronary.

RETALIATORY TARIFF TO THE SHIN

This, and dairy supply management, are my villain origin stories.

I think about this constantly

Shabbat Shalom to everyone who recognizes that the safety, freedom & thriving of Jews and Muslims are bound up together — in Israel & Palestine, across the five boroughs, and in many other beloved places.

“The government gets to render people it doesn’t like stateless” is not a position that has historically worked out well for the Jews.

Why do nation-building projects always have to be about hewing wood and drawing water? Why can't nation-building plans be about knowledge or science?

It’s odd to me that “we need to restore Christian values to Europe” is not coded as anti-Semitic even though it is, quite literally, anti-semitism’s original form.

Allegedly behaving "erratically" and being "armed with a screwdriver" will never justify a police execution. Yet the IIU will almost certainly clear the killer cops of any responsibility, and both the city and province will continue to shovel money at the force.

The WPS found a man "covered in blood" and then shot him to death www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Not sure what the point of journalists is if they're just going to reprint cop press releases and uncritically refer to police homiciding someone as a "use of force encounter". www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Why did Conor Rae have to die? Police bullets and subsequent IIU investigation leave trail of troubling questions in wake of teen’s death Marsha McLeod investigates: www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews...

The Special Economic Zones Act, 2025 "grants Ontario virtually unlimited power to provide any proponent or business with the ability to conduct any activity it wants, in any area of the province the government chooses, without any regulatory oversight." This is startlingly retrograde legislation.

While BC is requiring Indigenous consent to new development, Ontario is proposing to create rule-free zones, anywhere in Ontario, benefitting whoever the government chooses as their preferred proponents. www.oktlaw.com/ontarios-pro...
