Not to mention Librarian Carla Hayden and the harassment of your Federal Reserve governor, Lisa Cook. It seems like more than a coincidence that four of the officials targeted are Black women.

@gtconway.bsky.social Weird coincidence. He's also the stepson of Bunny Mellon, who designed The Rose Garden for Jackie Kennedy. And the same Bunny who supported John Edwards.

It's a great supplement! I'm sure your friends will appreciate the help. Protein shakes are good too, in a pinch. Most have about 20 g per serving (close to half of what most of us need daily).

Trudeau is the only prime minister in decades to successfully get a pipeline built in Canada.

Pasta will be your best bet (most are vegan). I'm a veg head and can verify that it takes a lot of extra work and planning. This recipe from Canadian Living is fab, a total go-to. In fact, the mag often has lots of great vegetarian and vegan options.

Nutritional yeast is the secret ingredient in this dish. It's a good vegan source of protein and vitamin B with a rich cheese flavour reminiscent of Parmesan.

That seems 'light.' Didn't Lich breach conditions once already?

There are five elementary schools within walking distance of Bank and Wellington. Was the convoy's impact on nearby school children considered? I suspect not.

Yep. The only surprise is that anyone is surprised.

A professional, modern military force is not supposed to function like a group of hitmen.
Just a thought. Although, possibly related to current events. Maybe.

Ha. We're still paying attention, very close attention.
Maybe a one-on-one between the CDS, General Jennie Carignan, and Sec. Hegseth is all that's needed to clear up all outstanding issues? I bet that's a good working relationship.

Every Child Matters. Chaque Enfant Compte.
A design feature two First Nations children seated beside a tree with the words Every Child Matters. The drawing is black ink on an orange background in honour of Orange Shirt Day, Canada's National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

Both your pieces in today's NYT are quite interesting, Ian! Wolfe Island is a special place.

Full respect 🙏 for your unwavering courage and commitment.

I recall very well the day that David Beers introduced The
Tyee and thinking, "this model is the future if journalism is to survive." He deserves much credit for his contributions to journalism and civil discourse.

We're paying close attention in Canada to this administration's willingness to commit war crimes justified by trump'd up accusations of drug trafficking and threats to US national security. Same arguments used to impose illegal tariffs while making annexation threats. What fresh hell is this?

Magazine deadlines being what they are, I wrote this in June, before the Alberta Firsters began their vile campaign against immigrant of all sorts. This column hasn’t gone stale. Instead, it’s more urgent and necessary. What are we doing to ourselves?! #Alberta #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

Without international students and their tuition dollars, some Alberta campuses will cut staff and offer fewer courses.

It's unintentionally funny that the Ministerial Order features much of the content and words that it bans.

Good work, IJF. Very handy to have this list of banned titles in a searchable database.
theijf.org
We’re making Edmonton’s full list of banned books completely searchable. Now, you can find all 221 books, including titles from Margaret Atwood, Aldous Huxley and more in one place. See which books will be removed from Edmonton school libraries this fall.
