As the first Indigenous judge appointed to an appellate court in Canada, LaForme’s life and legal career have been shaped by “the shadow of settler colonialism,” which he says contributed to the deep kinship that he feels to Jewish people and their “ancestral homeland.”

Oh, Canada! Proud to learn about Harry LaForme combating false narratives about indigenous peoples in the land of Israel.

"A new social-media platform built by Canadians, for Canadians, and operated in Canada, will publicly launch in October with support from some of the most prominent names in the Canadian innovation sector."

It’s not lost on us that a new social platform isn’t exactly top of mind. Tech execs joining the U.S. military. More war. And here we are, grateful for everyone with us in this moment. A social platform isn’t all that social without good people supporting it.

From this morning's Globe & Mail: The tariffs will cut U.S. gross domestic product by 0.6 per cent over the next decade, the analysis found. It will raise the price of goods purchased in the country 0.9 per cent by 2026. ... inefficient policy, a strategy heavily weighted with negative tradeoffs,

According to the 2024 Ipsos World Affairs Report, Canada is the most positively viewed global leader, 79% of people across 30 countries believe we’re a force for good. Stability, respect, kindness. That’s the reputation on the line every time we vote. Leading ahead of Germany and France.

On Red Dress Day, across Courtenay-Alberni, many formal & informal ceremonies and observances are taking place, each a powerful act of remembrance, solidarity, & a call for justice. I will never stop pushing for the full implementation of the Nat'l Inquiry's Calls for Justice. Today, and every day.

Cons ex-MP: The party uses the same recipes as Trump: The anger, the rage that people have against the system, it feeds it and uses intellectual shortcuts .. The attacks on social media, the half-truths.. the 30-second extract that will go viral, to feed the base. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

A fascinating deep dive by the former Clerk of the Privy Council on what it would really mean for the country if PP tried to do away with "wokism". Sounds like his government would have time for little else. secteur-public-sector.ca/en/eliminati...

There’s something scary happening in the Canadian federal election. In Quebec, the Bloc leader is now telling voters “Carney WILL WIN” so people can vote to give the Bloc more seats. Singh is now saying Carney will get a “super majority” so voters can elect NDP candidates. Do you see the problem?

No matter what polls say, this Canadian election could be VERY close. Don’t be overconfident, apathetic, or unstrategic, like too many were in the United States. Look how that turned out for them. And for the world. TURNOUT WINS ELECTIONS. 2 more advance voting days. Make Mark Carney our PM.

Current polls suggest support for the conservatives and liberals when combined, is likely to breach 80% of the vote in what many consider the most consequential election of their lifetime.” #VOTE

“I’m proud to be Canadian, because when they go low, we get high – we go high.” – Michael Bublé in his opening remarks. It was unclear if this was quip about hosting in a city known for its stoners, or a genuine stumble.

"Senator Tim Kaine is leading a challenge to the White House’s justification for imposing tariffs on goods from Canada, arguing that the Trump administration created a “fake emergency” over Canadian fentanyl as a means to bypass congressional oversight." www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

U.S. senators push back against ‘fake emergency’ Trump relied on to justify Canadian tariffs

The April 1 vote will force senators to make clear to the White House – and to Americans – where they stand
