It’s hard to explain but tv was better when you couldn’t watch the show you wanted whenever you wanted to watch it and most of the shows were worse and the TVs were worse and the entire experience was worse, that’s when it was better

I wasn’t planning on doing 100 lengths in the pool today but then the woman in the lane next to me asked if I was going to do 100 lengths so I had to do 100 lengths.

You can't generate leverage by telling everyone it's all for leverage. It's like signing a ransom note. 🤦‍♂️

I will reiterate: Christians in the West evangelize in public for the same reason men catcall. Neither is trying to persuade you; both are reminding you that the public sphere belongs to them and you exist in it at their sufferance.

I recently wrote a profile of a West African kid who tried to storm Cueta, right before the last big massacre of migrants there. As I observed, much of this could be prevented (and has been before) with a return to pre-2000s visa policies www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Danielle Smith is no stranger to using leverage to achieve her political goals — except when it comes to Donald Trump. It’s almost like those goals don’t include standing up for the rest of Canada. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/07/31/o...

Danielle Smith wants Canada to surrender

Alberta's premier is no stranger to creating, and using, political leverage — even if it creates the risk of blowback. So why is she so unwilling to do the same thing when it comes to Donald Trump and...

If you don't believe that there is a strong correlation between opposing covid public health restrictions and support for Alberta Separatism, spend some time on Twitter today.

When someone asks how you liked the Odyssey describe the plot of The Invite and see how long it takes them to notice.

I spent an afternoon in a parking lot off 16th avenue with a man who told me that if Alberta doesn't separate he will be happy to drift off and die. He is a leading fundraiser for independence. He also has a hidden history. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

Richard Warnica: He’s one of the leading fundraisers for the Alberta independence movement. He also has a hidden past

Robert Deer has pledged his life to Alberta independence, but also has a past many would find surprising.

Saw The Invite last night. Loved it, even the parts that cut a little too close. Wilde and Rogan are excellent.

Back in January, I listened to the turnips at an independence rally claim that they would get a million signatures. Rath blurted he wanted 1.8-million. They got 222,000, less than what they needed to trigger a referendum before Smith obediently lowered the number. How embarrassing.

Yup, @rwarnica.bsky.social nailed it. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

Richard Warnica: I went back to Alberta to see who is winning the independence debate. It isn’t who you think

In Alberta, the independence movement is a significant force. But at the Calgary Stampede, few prominent Albertans wanted to talk about it.

Enten on the 67 point swing (!!!) against Israel among Americans: "We're not just talking about the Democratic base anymore. The general electorate has turned against Israel. This is not just a left issue. It's an American issue. The trend line is unbelievable."

Alberta hasn't banned US alcohol imports. People here aren't buying it anyways. The debate over whether provincial governments should be banning it misses the actual point, which is that Canadians don't want to buy it in the first place. #cdnpoli

People act like it’s impossible to do the right thing and succeed but its actually pretty easy to do it and have everyone love you and you can even be a goofy silly guy and do it

Smith has the intelligence of a box of rocks, and while I think Carney is twice as intelligent as her, I'd rather have a PM who's smarter than two boxes of rocks.

My favourite thing about Haaland is that he spent 1.3 million ​Norwegian kroner of his football money on a rare 1594 edition of Viking chronicles - a record book sale for Norway - and then donated it to his regional library. www.reuters.com/lifestyle/ha...
