Apparently October is Canadian Library Month. There's never been a better time to borrow my award-winning Canadian novel, THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, from your local Canadian library! And if your library doesn't carry it, there's never been a better time to request it. www.overdrive.com/media/128041...

eBook - The Middle of Nowhere
Everyone in Rupert, Ontario knows Bob Gillis as the quiet middle-aged man who runs the town's grocery store – and that's all. The first twenty years of Bob's life are a mystery even to his wife and ch...

Got a front row seat tonight to a number of high school freshman girls talking about what happened at Cornell and they. are. terrified. about what the future has in store for them, even as some of them have already been violated. “Nowhere is safe.” The world is so fucking unfair.

Ensoulment is a fundamentally religious question, and I have no idea why anyone wants to hear about it from a bunch of computer scientists in Berkeley I’ll accept if you ALSO dont want to hear about it from Rome, but it’s insane to trust the guys steeped in Stargate over the guys steeped in Aquinas

We are relying on the Catholic Church in particular to make a lot of important arguments because it turns out they were the only people who were actually dedicating a lot of brain power to these questions the last 30 years or so.

Earlier this week, I agreed to interviews with two USA Today journalists. They wrote fantastic articles about the Cornell case that I'm proud to have been a part of. What I did not know is that their employer considers interviews to proprietary and opens up recordings to be used by any journalist.

My pedestrians.ca collision tracker shows a cluster of 5 hit-and-runs in Ontario over the past week, the most I've seen yet. It is very frustrating to see the trend of blaming pedestrians continue unabated, while drivers who leave people dying on the street are handed excuses.

The manager was right — some longtime shoppers closed their accounts in protest — but Marcus stuck with his decision. At the time of the flagship's closure, the Main Street store had been open for 112 years.

Neiman Marcus closed its downtown Dallas flagship on Wednesday. The store played a notable role in the history of desegregation in Dallas. Previously, Black shoppers across the US could enter department stores, but they weren't allowed to try on clothes without adhering to certain conditions. 🧵

He promised to cut energy bills in half in 6 months and gas prices would be under $2. He never said he couldn’t do that because he’s “inheriting a mess.” He said he would do it & it would be easy. So he can try & blame Biden now all he wants, but he blatantly lied & is a buffoon.

Public backlash against ICE climaxed after the January 2026 fatal shootings of two US citizens in Minneapolis. Since then, stealthier arrest operations have fueled enforcement that is quieter but just as ruthless. The 24 hours between the mornings of July 13-14 stand out as exceptionally deadly. 🧵

Most of the word count in this op-ed was consumed by Harper re-hashing grievances with the Trudeau government and its supposedly nefarious intentions for the oil and gas industry -- and, as Jason says, completely misrepresenting the level of support for separatism when he was in office.

Stephen Harper has, as we've long awaited, weighed in against Alberta separatism. But man oh man, do I have to strongly quibble with him claiming sentiment was zero when he was PM. Here's a 2014 poll putting belief in separation at 23%, which is where it sits now. nationalpost.com/opinion/step...

The Kremlin wants the world to forget who started the war. On 24 February 2022, Putin ordered a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, launching the largest conflict on the European continent since the Second World War. The war was not ‘forced upon’ Russia. Russia chose to start it.

Charlie Angus: In just a year and a half, Canadian purchases of vehicles made on the American side of the border dropped 30%. If you take the American export auto economy, Canada’s number one. If you take the next 10 countries and put them together, it’s still less than Canada at number one.
