Eby is portraying the BC Conservatives as a sort of existential, Trump-toadying threat to B.C. This speech feels like such a heavy lift to get to "and so we absolutely need an election now"

Everyone else: "Oh my! Human trafficking! Good job whoever was alert on the airplane!" Black dads with daughters: Black moms with blended families: "🤦🏿‍♂️Oh no. Here we go again." There's a whole genre of cop story that is "Black dad flies with daughter and gets accused of trafficking her."🤡

Actual @washingtonpost.com, Canada has always been on a great European misadventure. But so has the USA, with its various "Manifest Destiny" doctrines. White supremacy is bound to nationalism. Always was and always will be.

The aluminum coated men's lungs and hid evidence of lesions in x-rays. Labour Day matters. Now more than ever

Hilroy hasn't been Canadian owned for decades. Currently owned by ACCO Brands, an American company with presence in over 100 countries. That's how a "Canadian" brand "forgets" that Newfoundland and Cape Breton Island exists. Add Hilroy to your #elbowsup boycott list.

I understand Google must follow the law of each jurisdiction. But appending Lake Ontario with "(Lake America)" to Maps searches from outside of the USA? @developers.google.com, you may want to fly the idea to your corporate overlords that the boot licking isn't necessary outside of the USA.

Screencap of "Lake Ontario" searched on Google Maps from Canada today. Same search from the USA offers no explanation or even a mention of the former "Lake Ontario" moniker. It's just "Lake America". Same search from other countries (VPN) shows "Lake Ontario (Lake America)". Really Google?

Every back to school season, I remind parents to not post their children's photos online. The downsides of doing so now include the reality that all photos are scraped by AI. Lots of parents get mad at me every year, but maybe this new ruling will smarten them up!

Cory Doctrow had an interesting piece on why Canada should discontinue alignment with US copyright laws. Apparently we did this under Harper in exchange for no tariffs, but Trump has broken this arrangement, so we aren’t obligated, and we should stop. #cdnpoli

The 2026 equivalent of planting a flag and claiming the territory in the name of some distant monarch. And no more valid than European/colonial claims on North America. "It's turtles all the way down!"
