In all my professional contact with John Horgan, when he was Premier of British Columbia, I was struck by his kindness and humility. I am saddened by his passing, comforted by all of condolences I'm seeing, thinking about his family and hoping he inspires civility in politics.

This is absolutely hilarious Wonder what @JohnKingCNN thinks about @TheOnion giving him a run for his money on the magic wall 🤷‍♂️🤣

On this day in 1939, the National Research Council Time Signal was broadcast for the first time. It was broadcasted every day for 84 years, technically making it the longest-running radio program in Canadian history. It ended abruptly on Oct. 9, 2023.

During the Renaissance, people in Venice would vote by dropping little balls into an urn. The Italian word for “little ball” is ‘ballotta.’ Now any kind of secret voting, by ball, piece of paper, or voting machine, is called a ‘ballot.’

Today, we honor the life and legacy of Murray Sinclair, Anishinaabe leader, former senator, and Truth and Reconciliation Commission commissioner. His vision for a reconciled Canada had a lasting impact. May his legacy inspire us forward. #cdnpoli theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

How do fascists derail democracy? If you study history (or read Project 2025), it’s almost like there’s a recipe book: goose the economy, abolish unions, privatize what’s public, win the support of tycoons. But at what cost? Mesmerize your base so they don’t care. Blind them with your fear-mongering, lies, and promises. Fascism needs a bold leader…the only one who can fix things…a dictator who has the vision and expects others to follow (including women…whether they like it or not). I believe that history is indeed speaking to us — and those who refuse to learn from it are doomed to repeat it. To learn how fascism hijacked Germany a century ago, just watch this five-minute clip. If you care about our democracy and love our country, it’s hard to stop watching. This is an excerpt from my hourlong public television special “The Story of Fascism in Europe,” which is streaming free (and ad-free) at ricksteves.com/fascism. When I produced it back in 2018, I hoped this day would never come in our country. But November 5th is upon us. Please share this with anyone in your life who might need a reminder that the stakes are high…and this is very real.
