Naomi Klein Is Spot On.......

Canada Forever 🇨🇦. This is us.

Wow.

Jesse Jackson appeared on Sesame Street in 1973. During his appearance, he led a group of children in reciting his well-known poem “I Am Somebody,” a message focused on self-worth and empowerment The segment became one of the most memorable celebrity appearances from the early seasons of the show.

A must-read message from Colin and Sophie Hortman, Mark and Melissa's children:

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

I haven't seen this film in years. Would love to see how it's held up. www.imdb.com/title/tt0084...

WATCH: “Holy f*ck — They literally just shot her point blank… I live here…” @lapdhq shoot a woman trying to get to her apartment at point blank range with a rubber bullet. Alexandria’s page (the woman who helps her): www.tiktok.com/@labyrinthlo...

"An incompetent warning shot or the act of a coward, either way it needs to be properly investigated... how is it okay for your police force to be firing at unarmed Australian journalists?" Karl Stefanovic, an anchor for the Australian broadcast channel that @laurentomasi.bsky.social works for.

Google and Meta search both report that Cape Breton Island has its own time zone 12 minutes ahead of mainland Nova Scotia time because they are both drawing that information from a Beaverton article I wrote in 2024

Dr. Anthony Fauci urges Americans not to accept "Normalization of Untruths".

Who hid Americans during the 1979 hostage crisis? Canada. 🇨🇦 👊🏻

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

Canada is ranked 1 in education, 3 in safety, 4 in justice, 4 in overall best country. We are not a broken country. We have not suffered a lost decade. Our existence is in the balance. Vote.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Honestly, what does Wayne Gretzky think?

For no good reason Trump has ruined a good relationship with Canada 🇨🇦.

Just see this 4-month old interview with Timothy Snyder who has left the US to teach at the University of Toronto.

Make this go viral! Her husband’s life was put at risk by the Signal texts.

As more information is revealed, it is clear that the cover-up is even worse than the crime. Every single person involved has no business being involved in our government. At minimum, there should be resignations. And prosecutions.

Pete Hegseth: “Nobody texted war plans.”

Canada's gain.

Yes! (The world is exhausting, isn't it?)

To Poilievre's friends. Lay off Carney's kid. Stop being a bunch of bullies and jerks. It's not okay.

Same, Evie, same.

Trudeau: As Canadians face from our neighbor, an existential challenge, an economic crisis, Canadians are showing exactly what we are made of.

I am so proud of our country. Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau. (And Chretien's still got it!) www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

It’s surreal that I have to go to a foreign leader to hear someone describe the full derangement and malignancy of my own president in plain language, because our own “free press” and opposition leaders won’t do it. Bravo Trudeau

Trudeau: "Every country is very aware that if the American government is willing to do this to their own closest ally, neighbor, and friend, everyone is vulnerable to a trade war."

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

I would buy a book by Martin Eberhard and/or Marc Tarpenning. Just saying. #publishers #writingcommunity

The Papua New Guinea Courier is in rare form.

When you're a book editor and your back is out... Sob. #amediting

My life is as much cats right now as it is editing. Hoping the balance tips away from cats for a while. (I shouldn't find Petey navigating with the soft cone so hilarious. Am I the villain?) #amediting

Love to see excellent community theatre! It's such a great night when a play comes together so beautifully. Kudos to #thecurtainclub for their production of Having Hope at Home. (Richmond Hill, Ontario, for any locals out there...?)

What a grim day: almost dark by 4 p.m., wet and cold. But I've got a spicy edit on the go and it's almost time for a Festive Special... Great way to head into the weekend! #amediting #Romancelandia

Hump day takes on a whole new meaning when your foster cat is ready to find a forever home. Foster fail...? Eeee! #amediting

Lest we forget. (My dad.) #Remembrance

Watching the Norway maples finally drop their leaves and thinking about the gritty romance on my laptop in front of me. Two very different, hopeful worlds collide. #amediting
