I might John Robson as a teen. And I got to hear about him from my father, as well as having the opportunity to read his writing in the Citizen.
And this article might just be the dumbest thing he's ever written.

Someone is making an ad with a montage of Trump verbally attacking journalists, right? (Ideally going back to Trump 1.0.) That should basically play on repeat from now until next November. I am so sick of this

The main thing I’ve taken away from a pipeline (which will probably never get built) dominating the discourse again, in a year that was supposed to be all about Canada doing things differently from in the past, is that federal politics is a flat circle.

I can’t believe people in the room don’t push back. It doesn’t matter if he’s the president, part of holding him accountable is standing up to his bullying— especially if he’s doing it right in front of your face

This is who we're deporting while we're importing sex traffickers like the Tate brothers and white supremacists who are nostalgic for Apartheid.
I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.
She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

How do you know you might have too many gay friends?
If you’re on a bus and two women are talking about ‘tops’ in the seats behind you and it takes 3 minutes before your brain processes the fact that the women are talking about clothing rather than someone’s sexual role.

2. Now that it’s obvious to everyone it’s happening, what are Americans going to do about it?

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.
