One thing I notice when the idea of the US taking over Canada is mentioned is that even Americans who are vehemently opposed to it assume that it's possible. My friends, it is not possible. The US could do a lot of damage to Canada, sure. But the US simply could not take it by force.

On our walk today we could hear some serious corvid activity. Usually this means there's something in the trees they don't like; bears, raccoons, cougars or, in this case a barred owl. Hope it got out of there in one piece. #Ucluelet #Tofino #VancouverIsland #Birds #Owls

Canada's Conservative movement has spent the last decade deliberately making its followers more angry, more conspiratorial, and way, way more online. The cost of that strategy could be higher than they ever imagined. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/09/09/o...

The Conservative civil war has only just begun
Pierre Poilievre practises a form of digital-first, anger-driven politics that nearly took him to the pinnacle of Canadian politics. Now it might be about to drag his entire political movement down.

It began as a conversation about motorcycle rides - with a suggestion that I try a route in Washington State. When I mentioned I'm not crossing the border right now, the response was, "Oh. You're one of THOSE." Yes, yes I am. I was then told that in Canada we've lived through a 4-year dictatorship.

Seems relevant: Canada is creating jobs at a rate that is roughly 4x that in the United States.
Line chart titled "The pace of job growth in Canada has outpaced job growth in the United States" showing cumulative percent change in employment since December 2024 for Canada and the United States. Canada's employment has grown 1.34% while US employment has increased just 0.34%, meaning Canadian job growth has outpaced the United States by nearly four to one. Canada's employment growth accelerated sharply from 0.98% in June 2026 to 1.34% in July 2026, the highest rate in the period shown, while US employment growth has remained relatively stable between 0.3% and 0.36% from April through July 2026.

Most Canadians understand that the game our PM is playing with Donald Trump, and the need to for some strategic deception (and debasement). But their patience for it depends on his willingness to be honest with them -- and it might be running out. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/07/24/o...

An open casting call was put out in Toronto and a bunch of 20-something young actors decided to audition. During auditions, Victor Garber, Eugene Levy, his friend Martin Short, Andrea Martin, Gilda Radner and Paul Shaffer sat in a room together. 📸 Dick Darrell 🧵3/12
