Every. Damn. Time.
Have you heard of “The Populist Playbook?”

A few years ago, I posted what I still consider one of my most important messages.

It was about “The Populist Playbook” that I’ve watched play out often over my 33+ years of city planning.

Since then, it’s only gotten worse.

Do the steps sound familiar?

Despite Conservatives’ best efforts, the vast majority of Canadians remain united against Trump.

The trial of the sandwich thrower in DC is underway. A key point in the prosecution seems to be that it was hurled with enough force to come unwrapped. JFC.

Everyone thinks this music is spooky, but I think it’s fun. It’s called “Funeral March for a Marionette” by Charles Gounod. You may remember a version that was used as the theme music for Alfred Hitchcock Presents on tv.
Fiery, fiendish fun! 🔥😈 That's HELL'S BELLS (1929), where devils & demons dance & frolic in a chaotic underworld in classic Silly Symphonies style. 🎶

A primer on how so-called free trade policies of the 80’s got us to the here and now.
So Donald Trump lost his shit hearing the words of Ronald Reagan at the World Series. Seriously?
Trump is the spawn of the toxic economic and political revolution launched by the Gipper.
And they are still gaslighting us.
My latest.

Don’t mess with a moose! 🫎
Moose are the #1 deadliest animal in Canada! Polar Bears are #2.

For tourists that come to #Canada, they are NOT friendly, leave them be!

It’s time to make Canada Post a more vital part of federal government services, not less. @mark-carney.bsky.social
Who stands to benefit from the gutting of Canada Post?

The billionaire class.

If Mark Carney were really serious about nation-building, Dru OJa Jay writes how the post office could become an engine for green energy, public banking, and better services. breachmedia.ca/canada-post-...
