I’m less concerned about the mummies at the Redpath Museum than I am about the questionable taxidermy #Montreal

#Canada’s a weird country Attending a carbon capture conference in Alberta, everyone stood for the national anthem No one sang But also, the anthem they played was only the tune, not a recording of someone singing When it concluded everyone burst into furious applause Oh Canada… #cdnpoli

This is #Toronto mayoral candidate Chris Alexander addressing the ABN The ABN was founded by antisemitic N*zi collaborators They spent decades whitewashing their reputations, particularly in #Canada I asked Alexander's campaign about this; no reply #cdnpoli www.noakesworthy.com/chris-alexan...

Noteworthy: #Toronto mayoral candidate Chris Alexander was photographed with MP James Bezan at an ABN conference, an org founded by virulent antisemites The same group worked for years to whitewash the legacies of Ukrainian WW2 collaborators #cdnpoli #TOpoli www.noakesworthy.com/chris-alexan...

I just accidentally discovered some Google Gemini AI racism! I asked Gemini to create an image: Stephen Blais at the Battle of the Plains of Abraham Naturally it used Benjamin West's famous painting But look at the bottom left corner Look who Google AI erased from our history #cdnpoli

More from Chris Alexander's master class in campaigning The title bar is definitive & declarative: why I'm running (!) But then it become rhetorical, uncertain Why *am* I running? Why indeed Chris #cdnpoli #Toronto

Chris Alexander's #Toronto mayoral campaign website is an absolute master class in why a candidate should hire publicists when running for office Here he's pictured boring some children, looking at his hands for some reason Perhaps he's telling them why they should settle for less #cdnpoli

Canadian elf impersonator Tobi Lutke should have to submit a full accounting of all the public money he’s received over the course of his life, to say nothing of what Shopify got in govt VC, grants, contracts (etc) before he starts demanding more votes for the rich #cdnpoli

A statement to stand the test of time From Piero Gleijeses’ Visions of Freedom, a book about how Cuba helped defeat Apartheid South Africa in Angola Certain Canadians have taken a lot of credit for ending Apartheid. This statement is as much a criticism of them as it is of LAC’s transparency

The #Montreal subreddit has been flooded with anti-STM screeds of late, as well as *a lot* of cheerleading for the new REM branch I suspect some of these posts are from an outsourced PR firm, perhaps one that's using Google translate Because no one calls Edouard Montpetit "Eduard Little Mountain"

“Just because he’s kidnapping people, separating families, apologizing for rapists, refusing SNAP benefits and holding the entire country hostage by not negotiating to end the shutdown doesn’t mean he’s a sociopath”

Politicians are often told by their handlers to not deviate off script from their prepared remarks, and to simply not say or do anything if they feel caught or cornered by an unexpected situation In that respect, Trump delivers

I asked Cdn Heritage & @stevenguilbeault.bsky.social if what Ezra Levant alleged - that Guilbeault launched an investigation into Cult MTL - is true "No comment" Typical gov't cowardice I doubt there's an investigation, but why not call out Levant's BS when you have a chance? #cdnpoli #cdnmedia

I suppose the Postmedia takeover of the Montreal Gazette is complete, the Gazette's URL is now redirecting to National Post's landing page Doesn't seem to be happening to other Postmedia papers The end is nigh I suppose #cdnmedia #cdnpoli @mtlgazette.bsky.social

When I was on “next prime minister” 20 years ago Brian Mulroney prefaced his question about Iran in much the same way, suggesting they were going to have a bomb within a year or less and were inclined to use it What would I do, he asked Pretty sure I said there’s no credible evidence. Still right

This is what happens when you criticize the 'dear leader' - the cult comes after you This is the part of Charlie Kirk's legacy the media isn't talking about: his followers send death threats to journalists And this is comparatively tame to what I know many women journalists have received

One thing I’ve always loved about #Montreal is that you can just look up, pretty much anywhere, and see beautiful buildings rising up, almost as if by magic, from the tree tops, or with a forest mountain looming behind. Nature in the city makes everything pop

One of the most beautiful Métro stations, if brutalism is your bag A subterranean temple for the commuting public Not one of the REM stations has any of this character There’s a reason for that: it’s reflective of what those funding the project think of the general public #Montreal
