@nationalbank @NBOtoronto @TennisCanada do you really think it is appropriate to shows players smashing racquets in your current women’s tennis equality 👍promotions? A parent of a jr. sure don’t want $300 + racquets destroyed & coaches need to coach better.

[runmacride @runmacride]

@usopen @espn that was a terrible finalist/winner presentation. Just let the players speak, don’t try to manage the process.

@PierrePoilievre @fordnation are you for or against Canada becoming the 51st state of the USA? Simple question, the answer is yes or no.

@vixxjaney Do your homework Vic, who owns the restaurant and winery? Not Gretzky.

I drew this last November 26th knowing full well no self-respecting family newspaper in the country would be likely to print it. I was right. But given the events of this weekend, I’m gonna to let ‘er rip anyway.

#USA #Canada #tariffs @realDonaldTrump

A century ago, Germany’s democracy was hijacked by a bombastic and charismatic tyrant — and in this five-minute video, you’ll learn how he did it. Why did I produce this? Because I believe that history is speaking to us, and all too often, those who refuse to learn from it are doomed to repeat it.

As you watch, imagine filling out a Bingo card filled with Germany 1933/USA 2024 parallels: big rallies, rage-filled and hateful rhetoric, simple answers promising quick and easy solutions to complicated problems, empty promises of a great-again future, scapegoating outsiders, and political enemies silenced on day one. And notice the caring wisdom and concern from my German friends as they share these lessons from their dark history.

It’s hard to understand how Trump could, on the eve of a tight election, paint a picture of Liz Cheney before a firing squad by actually saying, “Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK? And let’s see how she feels about it when the guns are trained on her face.” You can’t get into the mind of a dictator with an insatiable appetite for power — but you can recognize the playbook they all seem to follow.

Just watch this clip. It’s excerpted from my hourlong public television special “The Story of Fascism in Europe,” which is streaming free (and ad-free) at https://t.co/YA10kVH0V8. If you care about our democracy and love our country, it’s hard to stop watching.

When I produced this in 2018, I hoped this day would never come in our country. But November 5th is upon us. Please share this with anyone in your life who might need a reminder that the stakes are high...and this is very real.

We're hearing from cycling community members across Ontario. We will be united in opposition to the Premier's ill informed attempts to paint safe infrastructure as the cause of congestion.

When the time is right, we will together make our voices heard! Strength in numbers 1/2

@globeandmail @globeandmail you might want to fix this with a Sabalenka picture 😂

[runmacride @runmacride]

@espn @usopen a little less talking by the talking heads would be good. when the point starts shut up, please.

I had no idea CBC was capable of actually producing a thoughtful and coherent segment.

But, Andrew Chang absolutely nails this piece on Canada’s productivity crisis.

[François Valentin @Valen10Francois]

Other the last few years D-Day seems to be increasingly understood as a mostly American enterprise in no small party thanks to Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers, etc...

But it's good te remember that there were more Anglo-Canadians than Americans on D-Day

if you are interested in understanding what i’d call the middle of the road palestinian perspective (most in the west aren’t, to be sure), fareed’s interview today is critical.

[runmacride @runmacride]

Every reporter should watch this and learn. Politicians never seem to hear the questions or are forced to stay on script. “That might be a great answer but not to this question, try again”

[Graeme Menzies @GraemeMenzies]

I wish more Canadian journalists would be as dogged (and polite) as this reporter is. All too often Canadian politicians respond to media questions with word salad and we just turn the page and move on unchallenged.

[runmacride @runmacride]

watching the tennis on @Sportsnet and the "via rail" promo on Canadians sounds like a promo on a triple A baseball radio broadcast🤣
