I hope every Canadian reads this and realizes why we can never trust Trump, Musk, the Tech billionaires and well, the USA. Never. And also why we need to demand more from our news media as well. #Ukraine #Starlink #betrayal #journalism phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/weekend-up...

To Our Maine Neighbours: We know you're smart and realize untrustworthy, lying Donald Trump will reimpose the same tariffs, or impose worse ones, the day after the midterms. Signed, Your Canadian Friends 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 #Maine #Portland #TrumpLies #democrats #susancollins #conjob

I could be wrong, but does this sudden onslaught of "Conservative" male support for the unlikable Brad Bradford convey more than just a whiff of misogyny and "xenophobia" (I'm being charitable in word choice). #Toronto #OliviaChow #BradBradford #mayor #Conservatives

"A parsing of (Danielle) Smith’s words since Albertans rejected more sovereignty debates Monday suggests the premier’s public enthusiasm for Canadian unity may be more conditional than she makes it appear" - @althiaraj.bsky.social #canada #alberta www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

So, did Ontarians vote to make this province "the single most competitive gambling market in North America?" No, but the lobbyists, as always, "owned" the feckless and reckless Doug Ford government. What an honour, eh? #gambling #addiction #youths www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

The NYT is ok with extremist ideology as an anecdote in a profile—but highly allergic to any deeper examination of the ideology itself. No one gets to write an op-ed explaining any of this. That’s not allowed. But a billionaire can drop it in a quote as a passing comment.

It’s not just one billionaire. It’s a full-blown cult of billionaires who believe dictatorship should replace democracy—and that technology (crypto and AI) will make this inevitable. They say it loud. Some guy just wrote a book about it (That guy is me!) www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ne...

“Democracy has been hailed as, like, the holy grail for the last couple hundred years, but democracies are inefficient,” said the crypto billionaire. “If you get a benevolent dictator, it’s actually extremely efficient." Hmm, where have I heard this before? www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/b...

Please share this gift article about treason in Alberta widely, and frequently. Thanks, Globe and Mail. #Canada #journalism www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/1f59e58...

Democracy is not a static inheritance; it is an architecture we must actively maintain. By reforming our tax code, fixing our elections, and balancing our courts, we can fulfill our foundational promise: E Pluribus Unum. Out of many, one. caycecwill.substack.com/p/get-out-an...

"For decades, we've provided election coverage that's based on in-depth political reporting by an experienced team of journalists backed by commentary from political leaders. But now we're throwing that aside so we can tell you what some of the most irredeemable uninformed gamblers are guessing."

There are NEW updates in the case of the Cornell 7 as more details are revealed, including how the alleged victim stated “with 100% confidence [she] was raped”. So why did the local DA only present certain parts of her written statement? I've got the latest reporting: youtu.be/tcsZBeeJk9k?...

AI Minister @evansolomon.bsky.social and the Liberal party need to remember that Canadians didn't vote to be surveilled, deceived, fired, replaced or "harmed" by AI and Tech Bros billionaires. Canadians need to hold Solomon & Carney to account. #Canada #oversight www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

My mom had polio when she was five. She was living on a US military base in Japan (1947). Four kids on the base died. She was the only survivor.

The "Untouchables" TV show should be rebooted, only this time the untouchables are the AI ATech Bros and the corrupt politicians (President Epstein) who protect them. I'd watch. www.thebignewsletter.com/p/ai-is-an-e...
