Premier Tim Houston calls yesterday's protest by Nova Scotia's arts community a "Raise your taxes" rally "organized by the NDP". From the man who says he listens. Doesn't seem to have heard much yesterday.

Tim Houston's campaign against the Morris Street bike lane has the glowing endorsement of former Halifax councillor Linda Mosher, who hit and injured a cyclist with her SUV in 2013 and left the scene without stopping

A screenshot of a LinkedIn reply by Linda Mosher to a post by Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston about his intention to cancel the Morris Street bike lane project. The reply simply says "I agree 100%"

The saga of the NYT's anti-Mamdani story taken from notorious white supremacist Jordan Lasker (they call him an "academic") gets even more amazing: Lasker's only impactful paper, which claimed white people are smarter, is infamous: it misused data so badly it got his tenured co-author fired. 2/

There is no such thing as an overreaction with what has now happened. This is the line in the sand. Every red hat who supports killing Americans is a traitor.

The road to fascism is lined with people telling you to stop over reacting

We asked Danielle Smith many times today to denounce separatism. She won't. Indigenous leaders are calling her out. Countless Albertans are calling her out. It's time the premier listened to all of you, and not a tiny fringe group of fanatics.

It’s very simple. Canadian Conservatives, like Premier Danielle Smith, begged him to STFU about annexing us until the election was over, as it was dragging down Polievre. Too late, so sad, too bad. The damage was done. #cdnpoli

this is where the analogy to Brexit is really useful. A similar attitude that the US is completely self-sufficient and needs nothing from anyone. Too bad a lot of innocent people are gonna find out the hard way that this isn’t true.
