Five years after Kamloops, only about 17% of the TRC’s 94 Calls to Action are complete. After a white nationalist group showed up in Tk'emlúps with "Got bones?" signs, reconciliation must be judged on results, not promises. 🔽

When an elected official answers a policy question by branding a constituent as an enemy, he’s telling the room that something is permitted. And when he stays silent as insults fly at that constituent, he’s confirming it. 🔽

BC United voters were told to vote for the Conservative Party, and then they were called squishes. Now they’re being told to come home again as Milobar returns to the Tories. 🔽

Olivia Chow’s campaign launch proves her supporters see a mayor who shows up for tenants, newcomers, artists, and working-class families. Chow has real accomplishments; now she needs to fight harder and retreat less. 🔽

I left thinking she deserves another term." with a small inset portrait of editor Will Adams.

Filming in public is a Charter-protected right for journalists, citizens, and yes, even people you don’t like. Criminalizing the camera won’t solve homelessness. It’ll just make it invisible. 🔽

The Bank of Canada and the politicians who signed off on the new $20 design made a choice to put continuity over a Canadian who actually earned the respect of people across the country. 🔽

With Terry Fox's $5 still delayed and support for the monarchy fading, the Bank of Canada’s sleek new 20$ note raises awkward questions about who we put on our cash. 🔽

If Eric Lombardi won't draw bright lines around basic principles as Conservative MPs and far-right figures cheer him on, he's not expanding the Liberal tent. He's testing how much tolerance the party will show. 🔽

A prominent National Post columnist is arguing that Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s refusal to back a tentative Canada-U.S. trade agreement risks the collapse of the Canadian auto sector if President Donald Trump follows through on a threatened 50% tariff hike. 🔽

A growing number of low-quality, misleading, and stolen titles are cluttering the Nintendo Switch eShop, turning what was once a relatively curated digital storefront into a minefield for buyers, according to a detailed investigation published earlier this year. 🔽

Lake Ontario is shared, the border runs through it, and Canada has zero obligation to play along with Trump’s “Lake America” theatre. Call it what it’s been for centuries: Lake Ontario. The water doesn’t care about Oval Office stunts. 🔽

Jamil Jivani talks about kitchen-table struggles but never mentions the Trump tariffs that caused them. He blames Carney & Ford, skips Washington’s role, and freelances diplomacy while his community pays the price. 🔽

Prime Minister Carney has suspended U.S. trade talks hours before a midnight deadline, triggering 50% US tariffs on $28B in Canadian goods, citing "unfair" last-minute US demands. Both sides blame the other for the collapse. 🔽

NDP Leader Avi Lewis says he supports running existing nuclear plants until the end of their lives and would not block an Ontario NDP government from pursuing a nuclear-focused strategy. He remains critical of the Darlington SMR project and favours battery-electric trucks over green/blue hydrogen. 🔽

The Ontario PC Party spent donor + taxpayer money to send someone to spy on Bonnie Crombie at a Jamaican resort days after she won the Liberal leadership. Ford claims he just found out and shrugs it off as “politics.” 🔽

“No private business case” isn’t a serious argument against high-speed rail. Conservative voters mostly support it, and the party policy did too. Cancelling Alto mid-contract means taxpayers would pay more for nothing. 🔽

Progressives finally have a shot at stopping the self-inflicted wounds. Avi Lewis runs the NDP. Mike Morrice is the clear favourite for Green leader. Non-aggression in key ridings beats more Conservative seats from vote-splitting. Discipline over purity. Power over protest. 🔽

Betting on wildfire containment dates or election results creates a vile incentive: profit from chaos. Even a small motive for those who can influence our elections is a risk we cannot take. Canada must ban these predictive market apps federally, writes @thisiswilladams.bsky.social. 🔽

Tim Hortons launches Harry Potter menu & merch for Back to Hogwarts. Critics, including author Rowan Jetté Knox, slam it as “about as un-Canadian as it gets” over J.K. Rowling’s views on gender. Chain says it’s just celebrating an iconic story. 🔽

Some reviews have said The Loveliest Time lacks a clear personal stamp, that Jepsen stays a little too far from the emotional centre, and that you finish the record still unsure who she is. But that critique misses something important if you happened to need these songs when they arrived. 🔽

Jamil Jivani accuses Carney of playing U.S. Democratic politics. Meanwhile, he ran his own freelance trip to meet Trump & Vance. He’s not the Foreign Affairs Minister. Taxpayers deserve to know what was said & who paid. Open the books. 🔽
