SHOUT-OUT to Political Cartoonist extraordinaire & Member of the Order of Canada Michael de Adder, who routinely does a far better job of holding this administration accountable than the corporate media. Thank you for your attention to his brilliant satirical wit! 🙏 (also: 🤣)

France calls out the U.S. at a UN meeting: “The US used to be a beacon of human rights. Not anymore. Today, it stands alongside North Korea, Nicaragua, Mali and Russia. Isolated. And the world no longer listens to it.” U.S. representatives stormed out of the meeting. Well said France! 👏🏼🇫🇷👏🏼

Can't thank Stephen Colbert enough for the decades of laughs he's given us. He's been positively therapeutic in these troubled times & I can't wait to see what he does next! 👀 (plus, he let me sit behind his desk) 🙏

So, you didn't get the long form census? Same. 😡 That's why I've made The Long Form Census We All Wanted. It asks the REAL questions that Statistics Canada was too afraid to! 70+ questions across 9 categories. And yes, I will publish the full results. ✅ Take it now at census.todmaffin.com

There is a reason that we have been hearing economists commenting that “We haven’t seen American tariffs and trade policies like this since just before the Great Depression”.

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health. 'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

Angus: This is a president who says the only constraint on his actions is not Congress, not the courts, not international law, but, quote, “my own morality, my own mind.” There is no morality in a man accused of being a rapist…

Mar. 29, 1944: Winnipeg’s Terry Jacks was born 🇨🇦 After The Beach Boys passed on “Seasons in the Sun,” he recorded it himself — and scored a 3-week no. 1 in 1974 + 2 Junos. Peak Canadian “I’ll just handle this” energy.
