It’s been my dream to write for Jacobin since I was a teenager.

I finally had that chance, arguing that Canadian leftists obsession with Mamdani falls flat if we aren’t willing to put in the work to build the institutions that let him succeed

Please give it a read

[Jacobin @jacobin]

Zohran Mamdani’s win in New York has inspired the Left far beyond the city. But in Canada, as elsewhere, trying to replicate his style without rebuilding the institutions and political cadre that made it possible is a dead end. https://t.co/HzRTejY6kD

Charlottetown MP Sean Casey says he was demoted because he supported an NDP arms export control bill. In an interview with CBC News, Casey said PMO told him yesterday that's why he was removed from his role as parliamentary secretary. https://t.co/FCRc0UA5nA

Socialist electeds have made real progress for working people, but some still opposing nuclear energy remains a baffling blind spot. You can't build a reliable, 100% clean, public grid without firm baseload power.

Nuclear is an objective good, not even a necessary evil.

highkey I think the euphemistic way we avoid naming suicides is bad and is the result of a general public unwillingness to contend with the widespread nature of suicidality and its structural causes

THE SEALED VICTORIAN ERA WASHROOM BENEATH SPARKS ST

One of the most enduring legends in Ottawa that is that beneath Sparks Street there is a concealed Victorian era public washroom.

This image taken from a photograph at the corner of Sparks and O’Connor in 1909 clearly shows the entrance structure to a subterranean washroom…

I’ve been told it still lies there, sealed up for decades.

@tyson_wilkins @CDN_Dimension I believe it is the first wholly owned team of this caliber

[James Adair @Jamesgadair]

There has been a pit in my stomach for months now. My hometown hockey team, the OHLs Owen Sound Attack, was purchased by a private equity firm, and we all know how that story goes.

I wrote about sports, community, and private equity for @CDN_Dimension

This is a fantastic read.

@GregCowanST Thank you Greg

[Greg Cowan @GregCowanST]

An interesting, personal and well-thought-out column on private equity taking an interest (and buying) the Owen Sound Attack, the Ontario Hockey League's smallest-market team.

@markramzyy This is insane, Carney needs to tear gas them immediately

[Julio @JulioHashem]

Remember when the Sens had generationally bad goaltending for half a season, survived 10,000 injuries to their D, had a passenger with both feet out the door as a "captain", and turned it around behind one of the best defensive teams in hockey to make the playoffs?

I remember.
