Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.
@acoyne One more example of how weak Americans are compared to Canadians. Reference: every outdoor event from October - March, ie. Carnival, Holiday Markets, skating on the Rideau, outdoor hockey and many CFL games. Wimps.
My take on @MarkJCarney opener:
Those who want a circus performer may crave the tricks.
Those looking for a very decent person with deep knowledge and strong convictions will welcome the authenticity. These are unusual times, he’s not your usual politician. #Carney2025
That's one hell of a double-down.
You can't claim to be standing up for Alberta's oil and gas industry when the threat is that it becomes Trump's oil and gas industry. Wave goodbye to those royalties, folks.

@datingbyblaine Yes! I too did not seek $, but was approached and thought, why not see where the convo leads? Like you, it led to months of stolen focus - working to satisfy their list of demands instead of building my biz, huge expenses, then (thankfully) an awakening that led me to walk away.
@_scottreid So, did Carney’s appearance on The Daily Show get you any closer to that “F*** Yeah!” feeling? He surprised me with his charm. Heck, he was funny and likeable! Unlike PP.
P.S. please come over to Bluesky. I hate having to open this app to read your posts. 😊
Saying it again 49.9% with a 1.5% margin is not an overwhelming majority.
Stop feeding the narrative that he won overwhelmingly. The nation is split as it has been and he won on the margin. Half the nation said “no” and let’s not act otherwise
Holding back tears: “It was a terrible night for women, for children, for the hundreds of thousands of hard working immigrants who make this country great, for health care, for our climate, for science, for journalism, for justice, for free speech, for poor people, for the middle class, for seniors who rely on social security, for our allies in Ukraine, for NATO, for the truth, for democracy, for decency, for everyone who voted again him, and guess what—it was a bad night for everyone who voted for him too, you just don’t realize it yet” @jimmykimmel@JimmyKimmelLive
@TheBreakdownAB Danielle Smith headlining an event alongside Tamara Lich says a lot about how she views her role as Premier of this province. I’m surprised the infamous Preacher and Coutts criminals aren’t on the bill alongside her.
Some misinformation in today's US presidential debate about who bears the cost of tariffs. So let's talk about how tariffs affect what you pay for a suit. 🧵
