Major Canadian grocery stores caught labelling American items as ‘made in Canada’ “Canada’s grocery oligopoly appears to be engaging in false advertising.”
Here are just some of the 200 (!) books set to be banned by Edmonton's Public Schools Board following a directive from the Government of Alberta. These are all books we have carried or currently carry on our shelves. No more banning books. 📚🚫
Owning one of these gets you accused of being an elitist who's imposing his lifestyle on other people.

With Modi now clearly in a triad with Putin and Xi, I have to wonder what percentage of Indian emigration is organic and what percentage is by design by Modi to usurp other countries through demographic force. It’s likely a small percentage but still… I’m sure it’s not 0%.
The beautiful white sand beaches on Lake Winnipeg feel like a missed opportunity. Like ocean beaches, with nothing similar for thousands of kilometers, they might be a destination from across the centre of the continent if developed with quality resorts and tourist amenities.

“Danielle Smith doesn’t care about Canadian sovereignty, and it shows whenever she speaks to the American far-right, which is unfortunately often. Her actions — always immature, often childish and completely unacceptable for any Canadian politician — have proven her unworthy of her office.”
If Canada and other high income countries are to help the world rebuild from the American destruction of science and public health, we need to first focus on protecting our democracies from the far-right. We need to get serious about the growing extremist movements inside our countries, now.
Sad to hear of Graham Greene's passing... Such a wonderful actor and a very nice man I got to meet him on a few occasions as we both lived here in Stratford and even got to sing for him once at his "Walk Of Fame" ceremony. Huge loss RS
Graham Greene has died. A Canadian acting icon, he earned an Oscar nomination for his role as Kicking Bird in Dances With Wolves. He also won a Grammy, Gemini and Canadian Screen Award, along with the Governor General's Performing Arts Award. He also earned a star on Canada's Walk of Fame.

Every bicycle on a sidewalk is a policy failure
Its clear why people believe the sidewalk is a safe haven but ignoring the legality and issues with pedestrians, it can also be dangerous especially at intersection. Add to that the many uncontrolled intersections and sometimes limited visibility, unless you are riding at slow speeds its an issue.
If you fear for your life in the street, ride your bike on the sidewalk. In 2025 given all we know about the threats from vehicular violence, these shouldn't be the only two choices available.
Pierre Poilievre must undergo a security clearance process now. It’s not an option. It’s absolutely fundamental to national security. #cdnpoli
😞 RIP Graham Greene ♥️
Pierre Poilievre needs to undergo a security check. Immediately. Harper is a cheerleader for Modi. India influenced Poilievre’s leadership. Canadians deserve to know he’s clean. #cdnpoli
“The vast majority of Quebecers (86%) say they’re proud to be Canadian.” ⚜️🇨🇦
Poilievre’s unwillingness to get a CSIS clearance now is a full on five alarm fire and beyond a curiosity at this point given Modi’s latest salvo. I wouldn’t even tell Poilievre the password to my Pokémon account now and trust him. #cdnpoli
Rest in peace, old chap. Whether its dances with Wolves or a cameo in Dudley The Dragon, you were legend. Https://deadline.com/2025/09/graham-greene-dead-dances-with-wolves-wind-river-1236502962/
Given the new revelations about Modi I don’t even think Poilievre should be allowed in the HoC minus a security clearance. We MUST know if there’s any ties. #cdnpoli
Saw this for sale at Canadian Tire this week… the bulky frame gives it a motorcycle look but it’s all electric and you know people will call it an ebike and ride it on city pathways and bike lanes. 🙄 Max speed is 45 km/h. 😬
RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.

While University of Waterloo has a great bike parking facility (62 bikes) conveniently located on campus, it also has large perimeter parking lots (5,500 cars) for those driving to the school. What’s the ratio of bike to car parking at your university? 🤔
Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

@supriya.bsky.social had a great take on this on Power and Politics Friday. The current rules on "reasonable force" were brought in by the Conservatives in 2013 so is PP saying that they were wrong. If so, say so.
If anyone knows of a councillor in #TOPoli that is up for prioritizing the safety of vulnerable road users (specifically children) over the convenience of driver’s car centric mindset, let us know. Thanks for this @taras-grescoe.com

All of these articles miss the mark - seem to think it’s the low dollar - nothing to do with the insulting sovereignty threats or the economic bullying but hey whatever floats your boat
I’m tired of Pierre Poilievre’s constant rage farming. Either work with the government to make real changes for Canadians or step aside. Not everything needs to be turned into a culture war for the cameras. #NeverPoilievre

Over here in the real world, parents are buying electric cargo bikes not because they are a status symbol. Instead, they're buying them because they've done the math on car ownership and decided owning more than one car is stupidly expensive. www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/fa...

"Analysis has found drivers in the tallest cars could not see children as old as nine when they were directly in front of the vehicle."
That pinkie finger hit looked and felt - from my couch - very bad
Make no mistake- Poilievre’s campaign to remove 34(2) of the criminal code which determines multiple conditions for “reasonable force” will allow you to murder anyone who enters your home unexpected. Lost senior? Confused child? Someone needing help? This would allow you to KILL them and say “oops”
Well Done

Ukraine is striking Russian oil refineries, the financial engine of their war machine that fueled war for years. Russia is bombing sleeping Ukrainian cities. Families, homes. Both are happening right now. One targets infrastructure. The other targets civilians.
Has Pierre Poilievre ever said one good thing about Canada? I don’t think so.
There is no _good_ reason* Toronto can’t have the same scale of transformation of its streets to make them far safer for biking that Paris has done, with huge increases in how many people bike *Politicians are not a good reason
Nicely done !
Nice to see a refreshed corner store in Winnipeg’s Elmwood neighbourhood. The world needs more corner stores. Cities need more neighbourhoods built to accept and support them.
The vast majority of Canadians support bans on handguns and assault rifles. A reminder that Pierre Poilievre has voted against every gun control measure in Parliament since 2004.
Enjoy the game
Likely a question that's been answered before: when will Manitoba start offering the updated COVID vaccines?

The Ontario facility, which bottles Crown Royal products, closes in Feb in a move to improve its North American supply chain. Bottling for the U.S. market moves stateside. When Canada is being attacked, you don’t move your plant to the US and leave a whole Canadian town unemployed. #cdnpoli
Alberta shame on you. You are becoming like the US and that’s nothing to be proud of. 🇨🇦 #canada www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...
Enjoy your evening
Until Pierre Poilievre applies for and goes through the process for a security clearance I’m assuming he’s compromised. His excuse is BS. Even if he obtained a clearance he could refuse to view any intel he wants to criticize the government on. They don’t force you to read. #cdnpoli
