Elon Musk keeps threatening Canada's sovereignty, and Canada's leaders....keep posting on his social media platform? Non-MAGA politicians, journalists, business leaders: give your head a shake and stand up for your country. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/10/14/o...

Well I'll have more to say tomorrow but: Chow wins and not by a little; council got a little more progressive with some key flips & holds. Oh and in Pickering it looks like Lisa Robinson lost and maybe we won't hear from her again until her again.

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

Mark Carney on abolishing the Indian Act: "I'm committed to a process that moves Canada beyond the Indian Act."

Two thoughts Abolishing the Indian Act is good. Yeah it won’t be an easy process. But it needs to be done and tbh I’m surprised this is an initiative Carney wants to take on Also Kinew’s national profile has already been growing. But him championing this is going to elevate it further in a big way

Almost everyone in Canada lives in "market housing" and it's always been that way, for better and for worse. Non-market housing was 6% at the high point in the 20c and it's now around 4%. Farha's history simply does not add up. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Oh, man, he's so close to getting it.

Interesting. www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

the biggest presidential scandal in history but the political media largely acts as if it's not happening. hasan piker has received more mainstream political media coverage over the last 6 months than trump's connections with epstein has

The sooner the NDP distances themself from people like this, the better off they'll be

New polling from Environics on immigration. From the most-watched line graph, not back to where we were, but a significant bounce back.

i don't think it's that crazy it's a lot harder to use public money to build a complicated interconnected grid of rail infrastructure than it is to use private money to build a bunch of big warehouses. like i don't think it's great only one of those is possible but what i do not think it is is crazy

"I don't take responsibility at all," he said March 13, 2020.

That this is in THE WASHINGTON POST is almost too much irony to bear.

Elon and the Ellisons sitting on piles of nearly >8.5% debt for their entirely optional, ego-fueled bullshit has me cracking a smile, chat

From Lula’s victory speech. Hard to argue. 🇧🇷 “We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. We cannot have monstrously large corporations earning millions and billions, paying no taxes to this country and trying to steer our election results.”

cool, cool

You see, the separatists getting crushed in Monday's referendum was actually *good* for Alberta separatism -- and a *win* for the people behind it. This here is some truly weapons-grade copium: www.kraydensrightnews.com/p/how-albert...

HOSPITAL PERVERT JR

don't vote for me or my son ever again

Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

The ownest of own goals.

This is just pure racism. Republicans objectively are campaigning on little more than bigotry.

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

It’s really not that hard to say this!

Guys, is it good news when the biggest GOP shill on Twitter is not showing their predictions because of the impending blue wave?

It's funny how much of the commentariat has talked about how Canada can't decouple itself from the US. Sure - I don't think we'll ever see another country (or the EU) replace the US at the top of the list, but this kind of shift in such a short time is huge.

It would be nice if news headlines/reports stopped saying “BC Conservatives win first majority in a century” when the BC Liberals and Socreds won plenty of majorities and were, you know, conservative.

Small-dollar donations to Republican candidates are just apocalyptic. Selected examples here. Our forecasting research found in-state individual contributions are a strong predictor of results. Way stronger than PAC spending! votehub.com/2026/10/24/2...

Ahem

However, rule 3, "The candidate in the best mood wins" continues to hold

Whoever told Eby this election was a good idea should probably not work in politics again. All-time own goal.

Doerkson just promised "certainty" in BC (signalling at his promise to repeal DRIPA). Great time to re-read @adampolsen.bsky.social for @thetyee.ca. thetyee.ca/Opinion/2026...

I've reported a lot on OneBC and Dallas Brodie, the party that did its best to promote residential school denialism and attack Indigenous rights in this province. Tonight she lost her riding of Vancouver-Quilchena about as hard as you can lose.

Obama: "We've seen this movie before. I starred in it. I've got a long-form birth certification to prove it. This stuff didn't work on me. It's not going to work in Michigan on Abdul."

In today’s @TheGlobeandMail.com , Mr. Coyne punctures the Queen of Stupid Danielle Smith’s immigration balloons. Every last one of them.

one thing I will say about the preemptive pardon bullshit is it is not the behavior of a group of people who have a definitive plan to retain power forever

it continues to be funny to me when i hear people go "but obviously these dsa types just want to destroy the market and implement stalinism" while, meanwhile, they are actually *more* pro-market than the mainline democrat incumbents they're challenging

these people are shameless!

a 25 year old could not comprehend how bad the dining options were in the median American town in 1996

It would be grand, then, if the Government of Canada would terminate any use of X/Twitter. And don't say, "Oh, we need it to get our messages out," because then you are "caught in a situation where we are reliant on one provider."

PM Carney sharply criticized the decision to restrict Ukraine’s satellite access: “I search for the right adjective to describe whoever took this decision or group of people took this decision against a country that is literally fighting for the lives of the citizens against naked aggression.”
