So the news today is that both the Alberta separatists and the Quebec separatists have been holding (or seeking) meetings with the Trump administration — colluding with a foreign power in the service of its ambition to break up the country and absorb it piece by piece. For how long are we going to continue to treat this as a legitimate political “option”?

"Many who have worked closely with Bradford over the past eight years think he is almost uniquely unlikable. I’m not sure I’ve ever covered anyone who inspires so much personal vitriol. Many - and not just progressives - think he would be a terrible mayor"

Great piece, and this probably sums up Bradford for me

The craze for Canada at the moment is outmatching the Beatles mania of the 60s. Amazing 🇨🇦

To my 🇺🇸 cousins, Wab Kinew is Canada's first, First Nations Premier (Manitoba). He's a Canadian icon & is LOVED by us for his intellect, pragmatism, charm, humour, & for ALWAYS calling a spade a spade. Enjoy my friends, together WE got this! 🪶🫶🇨🇦🇺🇸

Without a doubt the best editorial on the brilliance of Carney/Trump takedown that I’ve read!! Another Must Read

David Cochrane: "We're about 20 days away from the 25th anniversary of 9/11, and Donald Trump has imposed a 50% tariff on the country that gave refuge to thousands of its citizens on the day of the worst terrorist attack in American history."

[Conventional Wisdom @dadinthe6]

@OrbitStudios It's what I keep thinking about - imagine someone as inexperienced, arrogant, petulant & maga-adjacent negotiating with the US. He would have caved at the first opportunity. We are beyond lucky to have Carney right now. He has brains, a spine, & an obviously deep love of country.

No velociraptors, just dirt.
What a wonderful article on Two Paddocks and Sam Neill.

Buy Canadian whenever possible.
Boycott American whenever possible.
Now more than ever is the time.

Donald Trump has declared economic war on...CANADA.

Not Russia.
Not North Korea.

Canada.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Canada to match new US tariffs dollar for dollar, Prime Minister Mark Carney says.

[Stephen King @StephenKing]

Fuck Trump and fuck his tariffs. You don't act like this to your friends.

Morning commute on a bike lane that Doug Ford wants to rip out. 21 bikes and 4 cars clearing an intersection in 23 seconds. Which mode fights congestion?

This is one of the most emotional national anthem performances I’ve heard. Happy Canada Day. 🇨🇦

@steffanwatkins A big FU finger to Ontario taxpayers. What an abhorrent, disgusting, dishonest piece of 💩 he is. Somewhere there is a criminal case to be made against this jerk and this party. Greenbelt report @RCMP ?? How’s that going…

[Steffan Watkins  @steffanwatkins]

🇨🇦 Doug Ford's $30M private jet, that he wasted $200k of Ontario tax revenue on, has been sold to Doug Ford's preferred private charter company, Chartright, who have previously provided planes for his luxurious travel tastes to Texas and Saskatchewan at ~$10k/hr. #GravyPlane

Doug Ford is going to hate this video. All of it. 🎵
A reggae song about Ford Fest, his 21% approval, and that's just the start.

FOR THE PEOPLE 👇

[Laura Babcock 🇨🇦 @LauraBabcock]

As I just said on radio Ford’s team posting AI doctored photos of the crowd trying to make protestors look like supporters is deceitful and trying to hide his unpopularity with a fake image is pathetic! No wonder he’s rate worst Premier in Canada! #Onpoli https://t.co/MBQrJeRR88
