Poilievre, wrong on facts again, this time about jobs.
He’s weak on facts. But strong on feelings. Destructive ones. Can a jobs focus be a counter-feeling?

🔥 COUNTRY SINGER @bryanandrewsmusic.bsky.social : "You don't get to call yourself a Christian and laugh when families are torn apart — and think it's okay that the highest court in the land just gave a green light to ICE agents to target people because they’re brown or speaking Spanish.”

Pierre Poilievre yelling about DEI is grimly hilarious when guys like him are the very reason diversity, equity and inclusion policies are needed 😡

Excellent 👍
I love a good homemade Mac & Cheese… such a comfort.
Though lately we’ve been prone to making a completely friggin’ Bougie Bobby Flay version. Might be the time to go traditional 🇨🇦

Toast of the Day:

May our lives, like the leaves of the maple,
Grow more beautiful as they fade.
May we say our farewells, when it's time for us to go,
All smiling and unafraid.
-Larry E. Johnson (from a collection of toasts on the subject of Age). #Toasts

I find it strange that American media has largely decided to describe direct threats to annex our country and destroy our economy as "hurtful comments".

The non-reaction of Americans, and especially the centre-left and centre-right, was a wake up call that will reverberate here for decades.

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.
