There was enormous attention on Doug Ford's World Series Ad.
Much less attention on his CDN ad.
Doug is promising to rip up "red tape" to get at the Ring of Fire ore bodies.
People in the region have gone 30 years without drinking water. He refuses to meet them.

Here are my three truths about climate:
1. We fail if we don’t end free-to-pollute fossil fuel model. Period. Game over.
2. A crash looms, prefigured by collapse in home insurance/mortgage markets.
3. There are true villains in the story, and we have to tell it that way.

It’s not complicated: The Liberals won way more seats than any other party.
They get to present a budget (as the other parties have demanded for months).
It’s then up to the other parties, and on them alone, to decide if they want to force an election over it.
And if they do, be it on their heads.

Calm down folks.
Possessing child pornography is still a crime and upon conviction judges still have to punish them.
All that changes is that the SCC ruled a one-size-fits-all mandatory sentence isn’t Charter compliant.

Imagine that— judges get to judge!
What a crazy concept! 🤪

While federal judges are ruling against Trump's move to withdraw SNAP funding, it's worth remembering two things:
1. Next step is to hold Trump in contempt of the court order;
2. The Big Beautiful Bill included a clause removing the ability of federal courts to enforce contempt findings.

Our environment laws are skewed so far in favour of economic interests it would be laughable if not so devastating.

Listening to most recent Sirens podcast w @lorenraeds.bsky.social, @emsetc.bsky.social & Radha Iyengar Plumb, formerly of Bombshell. Their guest, a reporter covering DoD, refers to an "almost lack of professionalism" at Hegseth's Office of SecDef and that might just be understatement of the year

In today’s geopolitical landscape, it is essential that we strengthen our engagement in the Arctic in partnership with Indigenous peoples. This commitment is reflected in Canada’s Arctic foreign policy, which includes more than $73 billion in investments over the next 20 years.

Sunday a.m. "Fall back" with your clocks.
Feels like November.
The Blue Jays gave us fun and distraction and a whole new understanding of baseball. Thank you Jays.
Budget week in Canada. Lots of questions around who, what and when. I am rooting for Climate Policy to be at the front of the list.

Even though I’m disappointed, it was still an incredible season. This team was special. I just want to give each player a kiss on the forehead, and tell them how proud I am of them. #BlueJays, you did all of Canada proud. Until next season…

Carney was about to go into a high stakes negotiation with an insane regime and #DougFord throws a stink bomb into the proceedings for Ford’s own personal ambitions. I am SO SICK of these selfish right wing assholes. #cdnpoli
