Congrats!

Shitty people, do shitty things. Hegseth is a prick.

It is Jewish Heritage Month and throughout this month I am sharing stories of Canada's Jewish history.

Today, it is the tragic story of MS St. Louis, when Canada refused to allow Jewish refugees from Europe entry. Of those on board, 30% later died in The Holocaust.

🇨🇦 PM Carney has a way with words. #CanadaStrong 🍁

It was filmed here. An acquaintance worked in set dec on it.

My parents had Yard mushrooms in NS. The kind that made you taste the rainbow.

Yeah, we’d be hooped here in Vancouver.

Thank you, Canada.

Together, we’ll build #CanadaStrong

Mark Carney has a unique opportunity to remake Canada in ways his predecessors would’ve struggled to find the political capital to do.

I hope he takes advantage to build ambitious, nation-building projects to bring the country together again and get serious about reducing our dependence on the US.

What'd you do tonight? I went to a rally in Cloverdale to hear @mark-carney.bsky.social speak. It was a great event. Dan Mangan, singer/songwriter, said about Carney, that it is "comforting to have an adult in the room."

Going ahead of time is usually pretty chill, but not this time. A few polling sites have seen Maple MAGAts going up and down beside the line, waving "F*ck Carney" flags, and sporting support gear for tRump and Canada as the 51st State. This is the most critical election of my lifetime.

Yes. Exactly the same.

It's interesting how we're seeing similar, yet subdued, behaviour from PP. He's just as narcissistic, yet he doesn't appear as confident. We'll see a different version of him if he's elected.

Yeah, I am aware. It may not affect the outcome in the way I hope, but it's encouraging to see nonetheless.

This is an excellent number for advanced polling. Way to exercise your right to vote #Canada!

Twenty Lessons, read by John Lithgow Key selections from On Tyranny, for viewing and sharing

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

Thank you for writing the book. I am recommending it to everyone who will listen.

Thanks, Debra, for teaching me how to make your famous matzah ball soup today.

There’s a lesson there.

It’s a recalibration of economic control.

Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way.

When the dust finally settles, they will own more.

The rest of us will own less. A lot less.

"I cannot tell the truth" - Donald Trump/Pierre Poilievre
"I cannot tell the difference" - MAGA/Maple MAGA

The difference is that the nazis tried to hide their crimes against humanity. She’s flaunting those of the Turd Reich.

Our response is to fight, to protect, and to build.
