"...it is doing something that I think most Canadians are quietly looking for right now, which is reassurance that someone is paying attention, understands the risks, and has a plan to deal with them."

Watched @mark-carney.bsky.social' Forward Guidance video this morning.
It's hard to express just how reassuring it is to have someone with competence and conviction leading Canada at this time in history. #cdnpoli 🇨🇦

Evil personified.
How does replacing the Director of Education in each school board with TWO people—
a chief executive officer and a chief education officer—help children and teachers in the classroom?

Some good news!
Pete Buttigieg quote from Heather Cox Richardson's April 10, 2026 Letter to Americans. ⁶
@petebuttigieg.bsky.social is the first American I've heard articulate this reality with such clarity.
As a Canadian, I can report it is 100% true.
Thanks @hcrichardson.bsky.social for, once again, creating a clear and concise record of what is happening.

Tenderflake pie shell package with Prepared in Canada labeling.
Canadians have always preferred to buy Canadian products. But thanks to POTUS it has become an obsession for many of us when we shop. Our food processors are labeling their products in ways they never did before.
Do Americans know that and do they understand the repercussions for their economy?
Electing Trump the second time was your biggest humiliation. And we're paying the price all over the world.
Keep fighting the good fight. Canadians appreciate your voice.
I just wish I was as out of touch with US politics as JD Vance is
Contrasting is doing a LOT of heavy lifting in this sentence.

25:40 first segment
33:29 high-speed rail
And my take: Poilievre's return to ranting about tax cuts is only political opportunism, it's *not* good public policy.
Merci beaucoup @emilienicolas.bsky.social for persuasively making the case for high speed rail from Windsor to Quebec City tonight on CBC's Power and Politics...especially following a segment on fuel prices and people not being able to afford to drive! @ledevoir.com
"When he asked the officer why he was being turned away, Larson said he was told it was due to the nature of his planned activity, i.e., attending an anti-Trump protest."
At least one Canadian wasn't "allowed" to cross border to participate in #NoKings rally.

That time when you see a panagram word in the @nytimes.com Spelling Bee because @mark-carney.bsky.social used it in his speech at the WEF.
I agree with Katherine Spencer-Ross:
"Somebody needs to make a decision — and at this point just make the decision and we'll live with it."
Just DO something. The prime minister needs an appropriate official residence.

"...the feed isn’t a mirror of the world. It’s a distortion. Research consistently shows that engagement-based algorithms amplify emotionally charged content, particularly anger and outrage, over content that is neutral or resolution-focused."

In an ordinary world, the president would be removed using 25th amendment after 30 seconds of this question and "answer" session.
Senators Coons on CNN is asked: How do you understand his comments?
The answer should be: Eveything he said was batsh*t crazy.
Celeste Davis quote: Patriarchy holds both the explanation and the remedy for the Epstein scandals and yet is almost never brought up in Epstein discussions.
We all need to work to advance, and then protect, gender equality.

"Google is constantly interpreting you. It swaps in synonyms, personalizes results based on your history, and decides what you probably meant rather than returning what you typed. Most of the time that interpretation is invisible."
Excellent tips to override it.

JVL: Most Americans wanted their president to obey the law, even when it was burdensome.
"But we’re clearly past that as a society. The voters, the Congress, and the Supreme Court have all decided that the president should be a defined-term autocrat."

JVL: "The animating idea of liberal democracy is that you put up with a lot of inefficiency because it makes the overall system more robust, more able to absorb shocks, and more free. Up until this year, Americans preferred liberty to executive efficiency."

Writing is thinking.
It's not some marginal boring task you can skip. It's the heart of it.
We have to be vigilant in Canada to protect our belief that the government has "a role to play in regulating business, providing a basic social safety net, promoting infrastructure, and protecting civil rights."
We can't abandon those things like the US has.

For those Canadians still making the ill-informed choice to visit the US, here is something else the administration is doing to *further* discourage tourism and economic activity. This also hurts poor American families and undocumented migrants.

The $38.3 billion they are going to spend for interment camps could fund the annual budget of NASA, the EPA, and all clean energy R&D at the Department of Energy—combined.
A horrific tragedy happened in Canada. Our leaders respond with love and grace not politics. 🇨🇦💔

Same. For this 62 year old white woman.
Infectious music with lots of beautiful, happy, brown and black people dancing. It was a huge display of joy.
