95% of the plastics polluting our planet's oceans comes from these 10 rivers. Canada is not the problem.

Nurses are actively encouraged by the colleges and health authorities to be activists—for approved, lefty causes. Many nurses out there are directly connecting their advocacy to the profession (something I never did), including when shilling for Hamas. They won’t be punished.

Outrageous. The “fine” is bloated costs for their kangaroo court.

Plenty of Bick’s at Loblaw this week. Prices, however, are 20–30% higher than private-label pickles. And let’s not forget—Ottawa slaps tariffs on Canadian pickles coming back from the U.S., even though the lids on those jars were made in Canada. Great policy.

Tucked into Islamic Relief Canada’s 2024 donees is a gift for $458,440 to The Canadian Muslim Vote - a non-profit that’s supposed to be “non-partisan” which is run by NDP donor Umair Ashraf. Islamic Relief then received a grant of $14 million in 2025 - right before the election.

The Canadian political prediction I’m most confident about is that Avi Lewis will run for NDP leader on a strident anti-Israel platform, which will delight young left-wingers and create a movement. The press will call him “Canada’s AOC” etc, and make the NDP seem relevant again.

World Leaders are meeting to try and get peace and Mark Carney well he’s meeting with Dougie Ford 🤷‍♀️

Unanimous. As always.

FACT: In the World Bank’s 2023 Container Port Performance Index Port of Vancouver placed 347th out of 348 in global performance efficiency. "Happy talk" is enough for some Cdns but it isn't enough for economic growth.

Ports. Important. Hand gestures.

now I realize that a lot of bad faith right-wing commentators jumped on many of these threads and said nasty things, but the underlying argument was correct. We need to fix our programs so low-income families aren't trapped in poverty and can lift themselves up with hard work.

“For the past several weeks, critics have fumed at The New York Times over a misleading photo of an 18-month-old boy in Gaza on its front page. It turns out that Muhammad Zakariya Ayyoub al-Matouq, who was a symbol for a story about widespread hunger in Gaza, wasn’t simply
