We'll see how many of these changes last a full year, after all of the complaints about it being dark until 10 AM in the middle of winter.

It would not be such a problem is we had a real parliament with a tradition of holding governments to account. But that went out of fashion long ago in Canada. Too bad.

Gotta ask, Heather. Is a 30-book award list honoring the writers in a serious way, or just promoting the award?

There is no trade deal to be had. The US is not interested in trade—they want subjugation. Danielle Smith is oblivious to this fact because she does not care to know it.

I should have known better than to read this, but I got curious, and that was a mistake. Now I'm angry and I'm probably going to have to write a scathing blog post about it. It shouldn't surprise me, and yet it does, about how many of our "elder statesman" pundits are so fucking ignorant.

True but Brit MPs hold their leaders accountable and remove/replace them easily. In Canada, you have to practically destroy your party, spend millions and wait months to make a change, so leaders always stay too long. We could use some to their quick turnover, no?

Happy birthday to Christine Sinclair, born on this day in 1983 in Burnaby, BC! She spent 20 seasons with Canada's national team and is the all-time leader in international goals among men and women with 190. She has a star on Canada's Walk of Fame. 📸 Jennifer Gauthier
Christine Sinclair runs on a soccer field wearing Canada’s red number 12 jersey, black shorts, and a white captain’s armband with a red maple leaf. The stadium crowd is blurred in the background, with a bright red field-level barrier across the lower part of the image.

Banning social media for kids - great idea from Olds. Costs little. Not really enforceable, if the Australian case study is any guide. The kids are generally using this tech as messaging. To talk to their peers. Olds are often suspicious of teenagers talking to each other. Don’t get me wrong…🧵

In light of everything going on with Alberta right now, may I recommend this slight volume. It’s very quick and readable, and essentially points out how referendums are just elite fuckery.

Canadian leaders have always stayed too long. Because the choice to stay or go is left entirely to them. Compare Mulroney to, eg, Thatcher.

Conestoga did plenty wrong. But most of it was approved by the provincial government on a nod and a wink. For the province to come in and put the college under administration now, on the basis of an audit it has not publicly released, is some serious bullshit.
