Politics (centre to centre-left), art, decency, fairness, climate, and truth. My mom and dad made me a liberal. Living through the convoy in Ottawa made me realize how right they were. New rule: DM me with “Hey!” I’ll block you.

Rubio is claiming that they did not need Congress permission because it was a law enforcement mission. The US is behaving as a global police state, extending its own arbitrary legal decisions to the whole world. This is not a problem just for Venezuela.

Your reminder that Maplehurst is a provincial correctional facility. This is Ford's responsibility and I can't believe that his government is not being held to account for the atrocious abuses that have taken place there.

thestar.comThis former inmate says he was assaulted by guards. Maplehurst lost the security camera footage that could corroborate his claimsA lawyer described it as a suspicious pattern for the Ontario jail, which was recently criticized for losing footage of abusive mass strip searches.

The agreement *literally* includes a massive powerline -- the intertie between BC and Alberta -- that would enable the addition of more renewable energy on both sides of the border. C'mon, man.

The Guardian reports that the U.S. plan incl several lines that were certainly drafted in RU before being translated. In EN they sound unnatural and out of place. Example, 3rd point: “Russia is expected not to invade neighbouring countries, and NATO is expected not to expand further.”

Peter Lougheed was one of the key drivers behind the inclusion of the Notwithstanding Clause in our Charter. He'd be horrified by how — and how often — Conservative premiers like Danielle Smith are using it today. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/20/o...

nationalobserver.comThe use of the Notwithstanding Clause is out of control. It’s up to voters to stop itThe architects of Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms thought the Notwithstanding Clause would only be used in exceptional circumstances. Conservative premiers seem determined to prove them wrong.

Pipelines costs 1 to 2 million per kmh to build. Smiths 300 million in a best case scenario, would build 300 kmh. Oil and gas aren't stepping up to foot the rest of the bill, so 3 guesses who would have to pay, and who would be left with the debt. Protect healthcare, not Oil and gas with tax money.

Precisely this. Unless and until industry and Alberta put a real offer on the table -- full support for industrial carbon pricing and a decision to proceed with the Pathways project -- this conversation is over and the ball is in *their* court.

I'm genuinely flummoxed as to how anyone is talking about a "grand bargain" while the Alberta government and the oil industry is actively opposed to the federal carbon price on industrial emissions. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

US Air Force also speaks Russian. Belarusian officers thank them for "accepting their invitation", says "thank you for cooperating with our authorities, we want you to objectively look at our operations and give us advice, you have full access." AF: "Thank you very much, happy to collaborate"

There's no excuse for the Vice President of the United States to use a heinous killing as an occasion to baselessly frame political opponents as accomplices to murder while threatening to use the power of the government to attack them. This dangerous rhetoric will only fan the flames.
