I am a fun-loving guy trying to make sense of this wild world. I like computers, yoga, learning French, history, urban planning, and reading.

Yikes! 😳 People in the Yukon should fight this tooth and nail. Do government officials there want more homeless people?! @nolore.bsky.social Here is something for your Daily News podcast.

I’m sorry, but this wasn’t smart on the PQ’s part. With the US is constantly threatening Canada‘s sovereignty, this stunt will bring in a wave of hostility and distrust towards the PQ from the rest of Canada. It’ll be even worse if the PQ wins the next election. The PQ should have laid low.

As someone who disagrees with the sentiment, this was a difficult piece to write. But as a social scientist, the evidence is clear. Rather than debate which grievances are legitimate, we need to meet Albertans where they are emotionally. thetyee.ca/Opinion/2026...

The federal government’s decision to pause the Billy Bishop expansion means that people who often win lost for once — are taking it badly.

There is also strong opposition from rural communities between Peterborough and Ottawa, so choosing another route would be of interest to the Alto people.

Last year, someone spotted Singh at a Kendrick Lamar concert. Drake criticized him about it in the media. What did Singh do? He apologized for being there in the first place. No defence, nothing. That is an example of why people perceived Singh as a pushover. /End

Steve @stevemar1976.bsky.social · 09/05/2026
Singh’s problem is that he gave the impression of being a pushover. Where he really is one is debatable. The deal that he signed with the Liberals in 2022 undermined his credibility. He got out of the deal in late 2024, but the damage had been done. 1/
