Jusqu'ici tout va bien 🇨🇦🇨🇵

Obligatory banner change given current BSky discourse.

It's genuinely hilarious how so many people find a way to get mad at Mbappé, and every time they are telling on themselves.

🚨 BREAKING: Harry Kane wins the Men's Ballon d'Or.🏆

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

It’s long overdue. But there are a lot of moving parts that need to be transferred to other mechanisms. It will be a huge undertaking.

U.S. officials have accused Canada of meddling in the midterm elections, despite President Trump's own endorsement of foreign candidates. Academic Dean @dandrezner.bsky.social discusses with CBC. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Our choice in the second round for next spring's presidential election may very well be a question of picking either cholera or the plague.

Darkly amusing to see American leftist posters congratulating Brazil for voters who chose neither in the first round siding against Bolsonaro in the second round. There's a lesson in there for them about the notion of voting against the worst option, but they'll of course see past it.

I love a raucous crowd. #Canucks

That's why I was so negative after the first round. There's never been a case of the candidate trailing after the first round to win it in the second.

première fois dans l'histoire du brésil que le 2e au premier tour gagne le second tour

France is potentially going to find its way to loophole to this, with a Mélenchon vs Le Pen 2nd round.

An aside to this, but a big misconception I see with polls relates to the Alberta separation referendum. Polls consistently showed 70-75 remain, 25-30 leave. And they just never budged. Yet so many thought this was going to be a Brexit moment, even though Brexit polls never showed such results.

L'aiguille est de retour au menu les gars. (Needle's back on the menu, boys.)

Yeah that must make sense in his mind.

You hate to see it…

One 5090 coming right up sir

Camavinga redemption arc. #ElClasico

What a monumental success in Serbia. Young people coming together, believing in change and fighting for a better future. It should be a lesson for democracies around the globe. Our democracies can only work when young people are represented and empowered, when engagement goes beyond career politics.

Watching #ElClasico from an American broadcast is a fascinating experience. Didn't realize you could cram that many promos and ads during the play.

Serbia: The Serbian Progressive Party (SNS-EPP) has admitted defeat in today's parliamentary elections. The Student List (SL-*) has won a majority of votes. #Serbia #Srbija #Izbori2026

Vucic has announced defeat

Asked today about what he’s going to do to keep the Whitecaps in town, premier designate Lorne Doerkson calmly replies he’s going to talk to the Caps but also admits he really doesn’t know enough about the situation. ‘Trust me when I say this: British Columbia loves the Whitecaps.’ So we’ll see.

Mbappé meant that. #ElClasico

That's crazy - all time record of El Clasico is a perfect tie.... 106 wins on each side and 52 draws.

Finally some sensible election results in a country.

What goes on in a cheesecake factory anyway? Just an infinite amount of cheesecakes going down a conveyor belt?

America's trade war with Canada has obviously backfired, both economically and politically. But Trump is likely to double down on it after the midterms. When he does, Canadians will be thankful they aren’t quite as dependent on America as they used to be.

Compared to 2024, Canadian exports to the UK are up 195% (mostly gold), exports to China are up 52%, exports to the EU are up 42%, and exports to other countries are up 18% The country's non-US exports of energy, minerals, food, aircraft, and consumer goods are all rising.

NEW from me: Last year, Mark Carney set a goal to double Canada's non-US exports by 2035. Today, he's already halfway there In response to Trump's tariffs & threats, Canadian businesses, consumers, & even tourists are taking difficult steps to decouple from the US🧵 www.apricitas.io/p/how-canada...

TIL there's a Cheesecake Factory in Toronto.

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.

I remain surprised that Trump’s social media attention never once flitted to Alberta’s unity referendum

You can say a lot about Eby's decisions and legacy, but I think the fundamental moral is you can have the skills to be an effective opposition critic and cabinet minister, but different skills are required to be an effective premier

Eby was never going to win another election anyway. But at least in 2 years' time, the t Massey tunnel replacement would have been too far down the line to stop it, and the Whitecaps might have been saved. Now....

Come to think of it, it's rather strange that Mr. "I called Google to rename a lake" hasn't signed an EO forcing Google/Apple to show Greenland as being a part of the USA.

Pretty rich of Rick Scott. The problem with Carney meeting Chinese or Turkish leadership can't be about who he's meeting, since Scott's Dear Leader has spoken effusively of both Xi and Erdogan. The real issue the American senator has here is that Canada is exercising its sovereignty.

I'm now curious about what trade policy related crimes have been committed.
