And the new leader will be stepping into an utter void because the old leader did absolutely nothing to keep the lights on. Instead of building on the Layton breakthrough the party will be forced to start all over again in what is right now a two-party world. Utterly unforced, amateur-hour error.

This is extremely funny but I do feel kind of bad for the NDP, which could be making absolute hay amidst all of this but has instead decided to scrub any evidence that it exists from the public record.

It's fun to have Stephane Dion writing again.

The difficulty, I think (and without descending into conspiracy thinking), is that some in government believe this is good: They think the press should be cowed and cooperative. The US is way ahead of us on this but where it goes, we are very likely to follow.

I know, I'm very excited! I feel like we're really not going hard enough on it, though. The Carney government should be screaming at China like I scream at Bluesky.

This is obscene. OpenAI should be paying millions in penalties and Altman needs to be in prison. And everyone who thinks an empty apology from this dead-eyed prick is anything more than a spit in the face should resign.

(Eranga Jayawardena/The Associated Press)

An Iranian ship at a joint Indian naval exercise, where all vessels were required to be unarmed, paraded its sailors along other participants, including the US. The US then withdrew at the last minute, torpedoed the Iranian vessel, and refused to rescue survivors. 87 sailors killed, 60 missing.

Two white nationalists I exposed in a recent article showed up to try to intimidate me in person last night.

This is a press freedom issue.

Here’s what happened:

Something to think about when Canada is deciding to commit to buying F-35s from the US. #cdnpoli

The government of Alberta sure is doing a lot of advertising on Twitter.

Know your audience, I guess?

The story of Pierre Poilievre is one of a Faustian bargain made by a man desperate for power with absolutely reprehensible people who are also his biggest barrier to power but who he cannot sleight or piss off in any way because they could topple him at any time. This is a hell of his own creation
