Hey! Our own @steveburgess53.bsky.social was shouted out in the @nytimes.com in an Aug. 24 column by Frank Bruni! 🗞️ Read the full newsletter here: www.nytimes.com/2026/08/24/o...

A screenshot of a column from the NYT which reads: "And in The Tyee, Steve Burgess endorsed a petition, signed by hundreds of thousands of Canadians, for the expulsion of the Trump administration envoy Pete Hoekstra: 'Has there ever been a diplomat so utterly obtuse? It perfectly fits the Trump pattern — a crackpot in charge of health, a sycophant in charge of justice, a succession of professional liars in charge of media and, for ambassador to Canada, a man who combines the bark of a sea lion with the charm of a box jellyfish.' Burgess also imagined how Hoekstra’s actual removal might be accomplished. 'The obvious answer: an Air Canada catering cart.'"
