This is private equity, this is what it does. Buy up businesses, run them into the ground, and rip them apart for short-term profit. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...
This definitely wasnโt on my Correspondentโs Dinner bingo cardโฆ

The good people of #Hungary are truly champions tonight. Bravo and good luck to them in the days ahead! #EU #peoplepower
One person may be issuing the orders but history wonโt isolate the blame. Whatever happens tonight will rest on the United States of America as a whole, and the world will remember.
Trump: โA whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I donโt want that to happen, but it probably willโ
A brave hoser is off to the Moon, and if all goes well in a few days #Canada will become the second nation ever to have an astronaut reach lunar space. #Science is awesome ๐๐พ
It means a new era and essentially a fresh start, and I think like a lot of folks Iโm looking forward to seeing what happens. The real question is: will the provincial wings chill out long enough to give Avi Lewis a chance? #cdnpoli
Woke up here in ๐ฎ๐ธ to this horrible news from home ๐จ๐ฆโฆ I want to express my deepest sympathy for, and solidarity with, the good people of the Tumbler Ridge region and everyone impacted by this tragedy. #canada #elbowsup

Eby is absolutely right - those who actively conspire with a foreign power (including the Unites States) and request its resources to try to break up Canada are engaged in treason. But will there be enough political will to tackle the problem before the damage is done? #elbowsup
(CBC) - British Columbia Premier David Eby says Alberta separatists meeting with the U.S. administration for financial backing is an act of โtreason" and it's an issue he'll raise as the premiers gather with the prime minister in Ottawa today. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
"Canada thrives because we are Canadian." This is the way forward. #elbowsup #Canada
Trump was only on stage at Davos for about 60 seconds before he lobbed his first insult towards #Europe. Classyโฆ
Trump: "Certain places in Europe are not even recognizable, frankly, anymore. We can argue about it but there's no argument. Friends come back from different places and say, 'I don't recognize it.' And that's not in a positive way. That's in a very negative way."
What if heโs not confusing Iceland not with Greenland but with Antarctica, and heโs totally expecting a call from the Penguin Politburo asking to join the Board of Peace? At this rate anything seems possible in this timeline.
Trump: "We're also the most secure. As an example, Iceland, without tariffs they wouldn't even be talking to us about it. So we'll see what happens."
"The old order is not coming back. We should not mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy. But from the fracture, we can build something better, stronger and more just." Pax Americana is long gone. Time for the world to replace it with something better. #Canada #Greenland #EU
When you donโt stand up to a bully, things only get worse. #Canada must do the right thing and stand in solidarity with our friends and allies to make sure the bully gets the message. #Greenland #Denmark #NATO #EU

The federal Liberalsโ new budget proposes to cut about 10% of government jobs over the next four years to bring the public service to a โsustainable sizeโ โ reneging on its election promises. @isaacphannay.bsky.social reports. #CanPoli
Of course the answer is yes! #canada #eurovision

Seems like Trump, Vance and the rest of the MAGA crew want to throw Carney off-balance in front of the cameras, but good chance theyโre going to be in for a surprise this time. #cdnpoli #elbowsup
Minutes before Carney is slated to pull up to the White House, Trump posted this: โWe don't need their Cars, we don't need their Energy, we don't need their Lumber, we don't need ANYTHING they have, other than their friendship, which hopefully we will always maintain.โ ๐ฌ
Congratulations @gordjohns.bsky.social on your well-deserved reelection to Parliament, and thank you for your continued dedication to the people of Courtenay-Alberni! #elxn45 #cdnpoli
Totally worth getting up early here in Iceland ๐ฎ๐ธ to see the elections results rolling in live back home in #Canada๐จ๐ฆ With these results Parliament is likely going to be a rough ride, but this could also be an opportunity to push for further change (even electoral reform). #cdnpoli #elxn45 #elbowsup
I've already done my part and voted by mail, but if you haven't already now is the time - please go and cast your vote for your Member of Parliament and have your say! #Canada #elxn45 #cdnpoli #PortAlberni #VancouverIsland

Deepest condolences to those affected by the tragic events in #Vancouver, and I hope all my family and friends in the 604 are safe and sound tonight. #bc

As reported by the CBC, the fake journalists that support Poilievre on the right accosted real journalists inside the #debate2025 room and made such a scene that the post-debate scrum had to be cancelled for security reasons. It says a lot about Canada's loony right wing and their enablers. #cdnpoli

Here is Ricochet Media's @ethancox.bsky.social dressing down Ezra Levant for disrupting the leaders debate "What I don't like Ezra is you preventing us from being able to ask questions on behalf of the public -- you created a circus here"
