Here's the thing about this: It isn't a boycott really. On one level I'm not travelling to the US because of moral objections, sure. But the really powerful factor for me is just a basic risk assessment. The American administration is clearly aggressively hostile to foreigners, and people like me.

U.S. wine export markets have contracted substantially. In April, the year-over-year export value dropped by 41.4%, worsening the 28% decline recorded in March. The three main export destinations for U.S. wine—Canada (-93%), the UK (-29%), and China (-70%)—all reported significant decreases.

A dream.

I dream that one day drivers will have the same patience for me crossing the street that they do waiting for a parking spot 10 feet closer to the mall entrance.

Like the United States, Canada also has a Supreme Court. Unlike the United States, Canada's judges dress like Santa Claus. Also, the Supreme Court of Canada has an official owl mascot named Amicus.

Now would be a great time for the left in Canada to have a serious, coherent agenda that seeks a structural transformation of material life in service of workers, rather than, you know, keyboard warrior emoji shit and first-year undergrad epithets.

The real danger to Canada isn’t from the tariffs. It’s from the (unjustified, illegal) *threat* of tariffs. We can adjust to any tariff. But *uncertainty* undermines the entire relationship. Retaliation can’t fix that. Only minimizing exposure to the US can. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

Tariffs on Canada and Mexico coming Saturday, Trump says he’s deciding whether levy will hit oil

With a decision on oil imminent, the U.S. President repeated his three reasons for imposing tariffs: illegal migration, fentanyl smuggling across the border and imbalances on trade

The Doug Ford government paid experts $1.5M to tell them how to reach net-zero emissions. Experts came up with 18 scenarios; each one urged the government to phase out natural gas. The Ford government isn't doing that and hasn't released the report. An exclusive by me thenarwhal.ca/ontario-ener...

Ontario was advised to ease off gas. Doug Ford is doing the opposite | The Narwhal

Today's humanism lecture is @rimabasu.bsky.social on Sherlock Holmes and Moral Failure and Kelly Weirich on ChatGPT and Emotional Outsourcing. In short: the moral floor is to act like a human being and treat others like a human being. Cut out the humanity at either end and you're doing it wrong.

Today Doug Ford is using the traffic disruption caused by the Santa Claus Parade to rail against bike lanes. There is no good faith in this entire thing and no journalist, citizen or pundit should treat it as good faith.

For 15 years, Nestlé — and then BlueTriton — extracted and profited from millions of litres of water from the traditional lands of Six Nations, while they had no access to clean drinking water. This week, the company said it is leaving Ontario. Some members of Six Nations want its wells back.

“The Great Work Begins” is the proclamation Tony Kushner’s Angel makes in Angels in America upon arrival. Although people talk about and quote that line often, less discussed is Prior Walter’s initial response: “Go away.” That sends a message today.
