@moebius_strip All the equity in the world and somehow the son and grandson of party leader is the most fit to lead.

That was a good way to end LOVE STORY, with poetry - and apparently her mother did read that at their funeral. "Death Is Nothing at All" by Henry Scott-Holland

Canada is not a serious country
iPolitics@iPoliticsCA
An MP who left the Conservatives to join the Liberals is casting doubt on reports of human rights abuses in China's Xinjiang region, asking an expert during a parliamentary committee today whether she'd seen forced labour with her own eyes #cdnpoli #ParlCA ipolitics.ca/2026/03/26/flo…

Career civil servant and China expert aggressively cross examined by Liberal MP who seemingly believes if you haven’t witnessed the labour camps in Xinjiang, they simply don’t exist.
For those doubting @M_Johnston1’s credentials, here they are:
“Board director at the China Strategic Risks Institute. Spent nearly 40 years in the public service, including as the executive vice president of the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), and sat on the Canada-China Joint Committee on Science and Technology. She also served as an assistant deputy minister who oversaw three federal government labs and can speak basic Mandarin.”
Shameful.

WATCH: Hong Kong-born Canadian MP Michael Ma tells a career civil servant that claims of forced labour in Xinjiang, China, are "hearsay" and blatantly defends the CCP. Ma: Have you witnessed forced labour in Xinjiang? Yes or no? Witness: I work closely with Human Rights Watch, where researchers did witness it.

24 hours after this tragedy, Mike Rousseau is focused on the welfare of the crew and customers impacted and their families. The federal transport minister, meanwhile, is fixated on the Official Languages Act.

@helenlewis great meditation. A lot of former "most successful Millennial feminists": Daniel MO Lavery, Nicole Cliffe, Lena Dunham, Anne Helen Peterson.
Glad tho that Anna Holmes now writes for the Atlantic; she's always interesting. Wonder if she commented on the LW promo hurricane.

I’ve written about the backlash to Adult Braces: “I do feel great sympathy for Lindy West. How was she to know that the great omertà of Millennial Feminism—that we had to take whatever people said about their life stories at face value—had broken?”

@KeldenFormosa just listened to the gambling episode on @DKThomp's Plain English... I had no idea how ubiquitous online betting has become. Members of the Trump administration betting on foreign affairs decisions hours before they make them is unreal x.com/mckaycoppins/s…

Loved this conversation with @DKThomp, one of the best in the business. Even if you've already read my gambling piece or heard me talk about it in other interviews, I think you'll find this one interesting.

When she's right, she's right.

This is sad. I know as a politician these companies are going to spend a billion dollars against me for saying it but 🤷🏽♀️ Pervasive gambling is not good for society. It turns life into a casino, traps people in addiction & debt, surges domestic violence, and fosters manipulation.

This, from the brilliant LESSONS, tells me that Ian McEwan kept very much abreast of the Terf Wars

It's funny how Canada influencing the Scottish euthanasia vote hasn't made more press here. Usually we love being noticed!

While advocating for more homes, I've been told many times that young Canadians need to get used to renting apartments. That it's the norm in Europe.
But our apartments are nothing like European family-sized apartments. We explain why on this week's DemograFix.

Was only a matter of time before the Carol Shields Prize nom went to a guy who IDs as she/her. Surprised actually that it took them this long.

@RosieBarton might be a fun, worthwhile angle for your coverage this evening 🙂

I think it's bad for Members of Parliament to earn half a million dollars selling sensitivity training services to the government, especially when they are already paid about $200,000/year.
Jonathan Kay@jonkay
Lori Idlout, the floor-crossing NDP caucus member, has been a prominent supporter of mandatory indigenous sensitivity training for the Cdn civil service In 2023, it was disclosed that she was a sole-source government contractor selling ….

@harrisonlowman @TheRestHistory @dcsandbrook @holland_tom he clubbed the rabbit AND THEN APOLOGIZED FOR IT. One of the many bad moves of poor Prez Carter.

Do yourself a favour and get the context for this war by listening to @TheRestHistory: @dcsandbrook and @holland_tom’s four
