#Netflix has uploaded "Best in Show" in honour of Catherine O'Hara. I had forgotten that there were so many comic stars in it. Classic.

The article is paywalled, but bits like this are always interesting to me when teaching students to read beyond the headlines and numbers, because both can be used to manipulate public perception: #cdnpoli

(I have no skin in this game. I don't vote for either party)

Does running that gauntlet of supporters, kissing and hugging and shaking hands, still work? I just find it so cringey.

The Republicans would like to divide and conquer Canada, using numbnut Alberta separatists as the wedge. Independent? It's not even possible under the Canadian constitution. However, Rath's grifting ways allow him to hold forth at a premium bar/restaurant. #cdnpoli #abpoli thetyee.ca/News/2026/01...

Who helped kill the Mackenzie Valley pipeline? Alberta separatist Jeffrey Rath did! He's the guy in talks with Trump's team to help AB separate, claims it will get pipelines built. Also US organizations went to court to try to stop TMX & did stop KXL in the US.
