Ah, just clocked in to the live stream and you "were live". Another time.

I've lived there and I have family there, including a stepson and grandson. It is heartwrenching to see this type of violence and racism rising again.

The World Cup is a few days away and we've seen players, referees, team officials, media and fans who have been denied access to the United States over visa issues. Almost every nation is sensitive to how the world views them. The US seems to be a malevolent exception www.thestar.com/sports/socce...

Bruce Arthur: World Cup visa issues are mounting with likely more to come

It is almost a universal rule that no matter how despotic or corrupt or devilish a regime, hosting a World Cup or Olympics creates a sensitivity to the reputational damage

This is a wild story, and everyone in Toronto should read it. A major American bank is behind the push to expand Billy Bishop airport. It has nothing to do with what people in the city want. This should be a HUGE election issue

It’s publication day for Library of Brothel in Canada (US/UK will be Jan 12, 2027 by @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social) This novel is REALLY going to need your support. If you “tip it off a cliff“ in literature not everyone will be willing to go with you. So come out for the proletariat and buy a copy.

❤️ “Schofield’s latest requires hard work, but it remunerates at time-and-a-half.” In fairness, these days in this economy and housing crisis and 4 x an hour global lunacy …my novels are a vacation 😂

Behind the latest circus at 10 Downing Street, there's a darker reality: the British far-right's alliance with tech and crypto billionaires. A warning for all of us, which I wrote about in @thestar.com www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

🥚She searches for herself in the "Today's Child" column on children for adoption: "I realized that some of the language sounded familiar because it was used during the 18th and 19th centuries in both slave auction ads and fugitive slave ads to describe Black people who were enslaved in Canada."

Brown University is home to George Orwell's original manuscript of 1984. Most of it is marked up heavily in Orwell's hand-writing but this untouched page caught my eye.

That's commitment. I taught my daughter and my immigrant husband that it's Skydome. The people take back the power of naming.

Deborah Dundas @debdundas.bsky.social · 28/03/2026

They can never make me say R***** C*****. It is and will always be Skydome.

Deborah Dundas @debdundas.bsky.social · 28/03/2026

Tonight they were up 2-1 and then in the top of the 9th Oakland scored to tie it. Bottom of the 9th, two out ... Jays came back to win it without the need for extra innings. Gets the blood running...

Bonheur d'occasion (Secondhand Happiness), known as The Tin Flute in its English version, was one of the most important Canadian books of the 20th century. It helped lay the foundation of The Quiet Revolution and remains an important work to this day. This is the story. 🧵 1/8

Book cover for The Tin Flute: A Bitter Sweet Love Story by Gabrielle Roy. A large black rectangle sits in the centre with the title The Tin Flute and the author name Gabrielle Roy in white lettering. Around it are illustrated portraits of six characters arranged in pairs on the left and right sides. Their names appear beside them: Florentine, Jean, Emmanuel, Alphonse, Azarius, and Rose-Anna. The background shows stylized city scenes with buildings, streets, and a church tower. The colour palette is mainly muted reds, blues, and beige with a mid-century illustration style.

From @theathletic.com: "The U.S. men’s hockey team won Olympic gold for the first time since the 'Miracle on Ice' 46 years ago, and for a time, the joy belonged to everyone," our columnist writes. "By the next day, it didn’t." nyti.ms/4s1Csv8

Jerry Brewer, a senior columnist, on the U.S. men's Olympic hockey team: “Their triumph is now attached to Trump. His track record suggests it won’t be used to celebrate everyone. It is more likely to be framed as dominance than shared aspiration.”
