If you want to understand why the support for the Conservative party is slipping, it is because not only has the party gotten too comfortable with this type of behaviour, it even celebrates it! Canadians have a low tolerance for disrespect.

Will Trump 2.0 push more Canadian shipping through the Arctic? In April I went to #Churchill -- the site of Canada's only deep sea #Arctic port connected to North America by rail, to find out. (It's free to read if you register) Canada's National Observer nationalobserver.com/2025/06/04/ana…

There's so much hype about #CriticalMinerals -- but how can Canada avoid making taxpayers (and the biosphere) pay for more toxic cleanups? I co-authored this report for the Canadian Climate Institute #Mining climateinstitute.ca/wp-content/upl…

96 private jets full of corrupt elites and celebs flying into Venice, a city destroyed by tourism, to celebrate the wedding of the world’s most shameless tax dodger: Jeff Bezos. Well, it's the perfect anecdote for future historians writing about this Second Gilded Age --> 🧵
