America, spend some time watching Mark Carney dealing with Trump’s offensive and illegal trade war. It will remind you what a leader should be and make you deeply embarrassed at the face we currently show the world.

PHOTOS OF ANTIFA IN ACTION: My uncle Albert MacNeil (bottom second from right) with the Cape Breton Highlanders just before they busted through the impregnable "Hitler line." Canadians come from a long and proud line of fascist fighters.

BREAKING: Mark Carney Triggers A Geopolitical Earthquake in NY. "This Is Not a Transition. It’s a Rupture. And Canada Is Ready."
Mark Carney just redrew our map of the world—pro‑Canada, pro‑democracy, and unapologetically independent from Trump’s chaos.

The MAGA playbook being used here in Canada. Poilievre is stealing the worst from Trump to drive an agenda of rage and disinformation. At a time when our nation needs to come together he is lighting gasoline all over the place.

You can write this only if, by virtue of your income, identity, or both, you are utterly removed from the consequences of politics. To pretend that the racist, misogynistic, anti-gay vileness that Kirk spent his life spreading is secondary to the fact that he spread it "the right way" is appalling.

The racist extremists are on the move. Just like they did in Charlottesville. On Sept 13 they will try and take over Christie Pits where people fought the Nazi thugs in 1933. Show the world that Toronto will not put up with race-haters. Peaceful gathering:Christie Pits park 12:30 this Saturday.

Here is a great way to send a message to Ron DeSantis and his alligator prisons: Florida orange juice sucks. The Canadian market for American orange juice has tanked. Replace them with regional brands of lemonade, berry juice and anything that is not from Florida. #elbowsup

PRO TIP: Don't take moral advice from a nation that once allowed its citizens to own other human beings as property and is currently kidnapping human beings and trafficking them to foreign concentration camps to be tortured. Evil makes a rather unpersuasive scold.
