I never met Catherine O’Hara. I have no charming Catherine O’Hara anecdote. I can’t even explain why the news of her death hit me so hard. But I know her memory will be a blessing to all who knew and loved her work, and the joy she brought to Canada and the world.

Alt: A Gif from Schitt’s Creek of Catherine O’Hara as Moira, dressed in black and blowing us a kiss. May her memory be for a blessing.

Trump has had a bee in his bonnet about NATO since he got back from Moscow in 1987.
Invading Greenland would break apart the Alliance—Putin’s biggest goal.
A lot of people didn’t want to believe Trump is a Kremlin asset in 2018, or even last year, but it’s time to (figuratively) come to Jesus.

Putin's Razor: Yet More Evidence That Trump is a Kremlin Asset
Donald has aligned himself, and by extension the United States of America, with a petty, cruel, genocidal tyrant.

Trump's EU threat raises a simple question that Canadians must answer: what are we willing to pay to remain free?
This is not a question for the business class it a question for citizens.
My Mom has lessons about remaining true, north, strong, free.

It's Time to Count the Cost of Freedom
In 2026, Canadians will be asked to make a nation-defining decision: How much are we willing to pay for our freedom and democracy?

Canada has the opportunity to help create a global tech landscape that isn’t dominated by US oligarchs.

Twitter is a litmus test for Canada
With Twitter, the medium really is the message — one that should be clearly unacceptable for our elected officials and political leaders.

36 years ago, 14 young Montreal women were murdered for one reason: They were women.
Misogyny & violence against women remain deeply rooted in our society. In the past year, there have been horrific attacks in BC that remind us how urgently we need to address this issue.
