I'm starting up a new podcast series...called Concerned Citizens of The World to come and talk about their thoughts on the world today!
Live now on Twitch for the VERY FIRST EPISODE: www.twitch.tv/thefrenchcan...
GODDAMN IT.
Now we’re never going to hear the end of this from the Tkachuk MAGAt brothers. 😭
A screenshot from TheFrenchCanuck's Poutine Village Discord server to his entire community highlighting his thoughts on celebrating 5 years on Twitch, shouting out the tremendous people he has met along the way, and the personal challenges that he has had to overcome as a content creator finding his way in a crowded space.
Today marks the 5th annivesary of my first ever stream on Twitch, and to celebrate the occasion, I shared my thoughts on how much I have grown, the people I've met (some of whom became some of my closest friends), and the adventures we've all shared together along the way.
I go to one fucking movie and come back online to the prime minister cuddling Hollander and joking with premiers about “topping”
Aaron Parnas writes: “BREAKING: Another ICE involved shooting just happened minutes ago in Minneapolis per someone I spoke to on the ground. Details are limited right now.”
Message to fellow journalists (and anyone claiming to be one): do not “police-involved shooting” executions in broad daylight.
Obfuscating language like that is completely journalistically unnecessary and, even worse, sanitizes reality.
Words have meaning. Use the right ones.
Also clearly someone is really really really butthurt about being very eloquently spoken about as a big ass bully that everyone needs to move away from

“I watched your prime minister yesterday. He wasn’t so grateful,” Trump said today.
“They should be grateful to us, Canada. Canada lives because of the United States. Remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements.”
That feels like a threat. Bully behaviour.
This is a dangerous and irresponsible response.
Cheering the illegal abduction of a foreign head of state and celebrating U.S. control over another country is wrong.
Canada cannot pick & choose when international law applies. If the rules only matter when it’s convenient, they don’t protect anyone
I should mention that I condemn the Maduro regime; the international community agrees that its legitimacy is dubious at best. But this kind of aggression in defiance of international law from the US should concern all of us.
Especially Alberta.
Because Canada will never be the 51st state.
Happy Holidays and very Happy New Year! May 2026 be…oh.
We’re going to have a lot to unpack this coming Friday on Politically Factual.

Carney: Hey, I know Alberta trans youth are getting their Charter rights absolutely pummelled, but you know what would fix this? Giving Danielle Smith the promise of just *one more pipeline*!
What in the actual fuck.

Vote these dumb fucks out
And if you’re interested in learning my assessment of the situation, come check out my live podcast series, Politically Factual, every Friday at 5 PM Pacific at www.twitch.tv/thefrenchcan...!
I said a couple of weeks ago that it was only a matter of time before Alberta tests the limits of the notwithstanding clause.
If you thought your rights were safe, they’re not. This government is more than happy to trample and smother them.

I AM LIVE RIGHT NOW!!! Sorry about the delay to stream Politically Factual, I was a concert on Friday 😅 Come say hi and listen as I work to down the Bad Kind of TACO!

So adorable! 😍 Definitely able to sniff out all the clues I imagine
Want to know more about why we’re going to talk about Mark Carney? Its because of a potentially worrying trend of how he and his entourage treats any form of criticism: macleans.ca/politics/mar...
This past week on Politically Factual, I talked about the history of the notwithstanding clause, how it came about, and its regular abuse by Conservative governments.
Next week, we’re going to dig deep on Mark Carney and discuss the two biggest candidates in the federal NDP leadership race.
All workers deserve fair wages, safe workplaces, and respect at the bargaining table.
@opseu workers keep our public services running. I’m proud to stand in solidarity with them on the line.
When working people stand together, we win.
Heather’s entry into the NDP leadership race is, in my honest opinion, extremely exciting. I’m excited to hear more about where she intends to take the party, and how she can take on the Liberals and the Conservatives.
I guess Disney really felt the pain of losing all of that sweet sweet Disney+ money 😈www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/jimmy...
Jimmy Kimmel is a symptom of a huge problem: a concentrated media ecosystem beholden to corporate whims.
Canadian media struggles with this too.
Consider Global News' management making Ben Mulroney a top political host.
It's a worryingly partisan decision, especially given what I just uncovered:
Over the past 24 hours, I’ve received many messages from constituents asking whether I stood for Monday’s ovation in the House of Commons connected to the murder of American podcaster Charlie Kirk. The answer is no, I did not stand. Neither did many of my Liberal colleagues. Let me be clear: I am strongly opposed to political violence in all its forms. I am also strongly opposed to hate speech and discrimination, which unfortunately permeated Mr. Kirk’s work. Furthermore, his violent death in the United States has only led to escalating violent rhetoric here in Canada. We have seen intensified hate speech and threats, harassment campaigns stoked by public officials, and organized mobs trying to destroy the careers of fellow Canadians. The injustice of what befell him last week should not be used to excuse or ignore any of this. Ignoring the harms that hate speech and harassment inflict on vulnerable communities means abandoning those who fear for their safety in the face of that rhetoric. I will not stand by while Canadians feel dehumanized by violent rhetoric, and threatened by the political movements and actors that wield it.
I've received many messages from concerned constituents over the past 24 hours, asking me about the standing ovation connected to Charlie Kirk in yesterday's session in the House of Commons. Please see my statement on the matter.
Oh trust me, we’re going to talk about this on tomorrow’s episode of Politically Factual. This is ludicrous because while we denounce political violence, it is unnecessary to give an ovation for someone who also spread hateful rhetoric.
“I am in you”…
@vadersorder.bsky.social Did you authorize this? 🤣
