I like Richard but I think this is off. Bradford went from ~1% of the vote in 2023 to ~40% now. He gave the Chow campaign (which is a formidable machine) a real challenge, as evidenced by its hard turn negative in the 11th hour. I don't think there will be much, if any, regret
Will be a nail-biter for third between random guy and advantageously named Braeden Chow, and not-actually-running Chris Alexander
Bonnie Crombie and Carolyn Parrish backstage as Alvin Tedjo is announced as the new mayor of Mississauga.
McGill’s law school receives roughly 1,500 applications for just 180 spots.
It gave one of those spots to a convicted murderer in his mid-60s, who will never pass the good character requirements to practice, and who violated his parole multiple times.

Yes, I've also heard that Brad Bradford will sell off sunlight to corporate investors. We cannot let that happen

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith fed a stray cat, in hopes that it would go away. But stray cats don’t do that. Now she's in a world of trouble theglobeandmail.com/opinion/…

He also raised nearly $35,000 to help defend against this “politically-motivated” police investigation!
STORY, updates to come: Edmonton former journalist Duncan Kinney has admitted to spray painting a bust of Ukrainian World War II leader Roman Shukhevych with the words "actual Nazi," then writing about it, claiming he didn't know who did it. edmontonjournal.com/news/cri…
Classless. It goes without saying that few would tolerate pundits and lobbyists laughing about how “ugly” a female politician is.
Canada to the Palestinian Authority: Stop, before we say stop again theglobeandmail.com/opinion/…
Literally everything about euthanizing someone who resists at present, but consented in the past is hard. We shouldn’t pretend anything about this is straightforward. These are agonizing decisions, and we should acknowledge them as such
If my advance directive says "please give me MAiD when my dementia gets to the level that I'm a burden on my loved ones", them the answer is you give me MAiD, not respond to my delirious protests.
If you don't know how to "interrogate delirium or confusion", you shouldn't be a doctor.
There is NOTHING HARD about this scenario, except if you don't understand how brains work.
Only Hegseth and his merry band of idiots would think it a good idea to livestream the execution of a radical jihadi

This is the right decision. Canada is already struggling with proper guardrails for and assessment of Track 2 cases. It would be incredibly irresponsible to open up a brand new track
It’s like I always say: when your spouse tries to kill you, you should reflect on what you did to make him angry
When your pilots are trying to kill you, maybe you need to wake up to how the world sees the crimes facilitated by your society? And actually ... do something?

This is called "victim blaming". Nora Loreto has frequently criticised victim blaming, including saying: "Victim blaming is shameful".

David Eby is a shrewd, confident competitor.
He will challenge anyone currently suffering from a stomach virus to a hot-dog-eating contest. He will dare any chess champion to a tournament when they are sleeping.

Belleville's police chief says Const. Jeff Smith was shot before he could even exit his vehicle, and still got out to try to take down the synagogue shooter. What incredible bravery.

It is cruel and unusual to force victims’ families to endure parole hearings every two years theglobeandmail.com/opinion/…
This is a really great interview.
It’s also amusing to hear an American speak knowledgeably about Canada. It’s like watching a cat play the piano
Had the pleasure of interviewing @mattyglesias for @TheHubCanada. He's an American that knows a disturbing amount about Canada.
We discussed Trump’s conflict with our country and why the President might just be doing it for the "lol"s, why average Americans are not coming to Canada's aid, and why a Democratic President might keep the Cdn tariffs in place.
We get into the rise of Mark Carney and the Liberals. He says Carney is running "what seems to be clearly the most successful centre-left political party in the world right now." Yglesias examines how the Liberals have gone from the party of historical reckonings to one that has claimed the mantle of Canadian patriotism.
We also get into the struggles of the Democratic Party. Yglesias asserts left-wing parties need to embrace patriotism to win.
Finally, we talk about the rapid rise of the Democratic Socialists of America (now the largest socialist organization in U.S. history).
