🔳 REPORTER: Mr. Poilievre, you're currently polling at 15% for preferred Prime Minister. The lowest approval of any Canadian opposition leader, EVER. A growing number of your Conservative colleagues are calling on you to resign as party leader. Isn't it time to step aside?? 🔳 LEADER POILIEVRE:

Top story in this morning’s Dresdner Morgenpost: German social democrats (with support from greens and the association representing German cities) are calling for constitutional changes to legally guarantee citizens (and workers) protections against the impacts of climate change and heat waves

I’ve been in Germany for the last week, the temperature has oscillated between 35°-38°C every single day I asked someone if it’s normal for the grass to be yellow and leaves change colour and fall from the trees in mid-August They told me this has been normal for only “the last few years”

Jespo made me sound more potty-mouthed than usual in this clip, but...if there was ever a situation that merits an f-bomb, I suppose FIRE EVERYWHERE is it. And what a delight to chat with Alberta's funnest host. We covered a lot of ground -- wildfires, land claims, and of course fireflies.

Canada is burning. Mark Carney wants to build a new oil pipeline. Journalist @arnokopecky.bsky.social explains the dilemma and asks what Canada should do next. What do you think? 👀 FULL: rtrj.info/081126Arno 🎧 FULL: rtrj.info/081126 #cdnpoli #RealTalkRJ

They're exactly who we thought they were. To those considering voting with these goons to "send a message to Ottawa" -- consider the message you're sending about your own values.

Remember when the separatists got all upset that it was implied they were racist? Tonight at Mitch Sylvestre's new constitution release they were clear who rights belonged to... "Not some flip flop towel headed police officer who doesn't even speak Canadian". #abpoli

📣 Hey Alberta Separatists, Enough with the conspiracy-theory-fuelled rage! Alberta’s separatists are NOT channelling the authentic voice of the province. They are projecting a vision of Alberta that reflects their own anxieties and ideological bile... My take: thewalrus.ca/albertas-sep...

Alberta’s Separatists Are Chasing a Total Cowboy Fantasy | The Walrus

The province they describe—rural, homogeneous, under siege—bears little resemblance to reality

Doug Ford: I'll leave it to the municipalities to decide on regulations around e-scooters. Also Doug Ford: Municipalities can't manage their schools, so we'll oversee that and remove power from elected school trustees. Municipalities don't have the right to decide on bike lanes. We'll rip them out.

August 10, Ottawans receive a tornado alert. August 11, CBC Radio mentions that no tornados hit Ottawa but one was finally seen in the Laurentians. Where are the news reports about this sighting? Where in the Laurentians? Did it touch down? I guess we might never know.

Sky News Reporter: “Donald Trump says you’re a gift to the Republican Party.” Abdul El-Sayed: “I’m a gift to the state of Michigan, God-willing.” Reporter: “He says you’re full of shit.” El-Sayed: “At least I don’t let mine go in the middle of the Oval Office.” ~ This is the energy I want to see.

Is the Extra Protein RFK Jr. Recommends Really Good for Us? conscienhealth.org/2026/08/04/i... @conscienhealth.bsky.social "The evidence does not support protein evangelism any more than it supported fat phobia or carb panic. Yet our public conversation has once again raced ahead of the evidence."
