Why is Ottawa so hellbent on limiting access to MAID?Creating unreasonable barriers to medical assistance in dying for people with mental illness is discriminatory. Leaving policies on advance requests to provinces is a cop-out, by @picardonhealth.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Thank you for the shout-out. I can never thank you enough for your support over the years. It’s a tough go being an editorial cartoonist in 2026, but I’m lucky to work for a newspaper that still wants to do its job. @theglobeandmail.com

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: 🤣)

Probably more helpful to think of them not so much as “Canadian wildfires” but rather “climate change wildfires currently consuming Canada”

Wrong question. The correct questions are “How many ways will he try to rig the midterms, how much impact is he likely to have, and how likely is he to get away with it?”

Hungary succeeded in having an open & fair election. Hope the USA can do the same this November.

Mark Carney@mark-carney.bsky.social

NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.

Of course Poilievre does. Complete lack of ambition for a project that provides better transit, creates good jobs and grows our economy, and increases our competitiveness. Show some ambition to build Canada up and strong!
