@thisiswilladams.bsky.social attended Jamil Jivani’s “Restore the North” event expecting partisan theatre and finds something more complicated. His op-ed examines the Conservatives’ free speech rhetoric, the limits of real dialogue, and what genuine debate should look like.
Just published my new piece on Restore the North. What I witnessed at TMU, the good, the bad, and the truth behind the “dialogue” Conservatives claim to champion. If we want real debate in Canada, we must demand better than scripted talking points. 👇

Left Lane Media Group founder @thisiswilladams.bsky.social reports that Dominion Society co-founder Daniel Tyrie blocked him on X after being asked to clarify past comments on immigration and “heritage.” Adams shared screenshots of his follow-up exchange with Tyrie on Instagram. 🔽
Daniel Tyrie is the perfect example of why I can't take modern “anti-woke” conservatism seriously. It's people paying actual money to be told their heritage somehow makes them more legitimate than their neighbours. It's arrogance dressed up as patriotism, and it's pathetic. 🔽
“For all of Daniel Tyrie's outrage against immigrants and legal newcomers, going so far as to advocate for what his group calls “remigration,” it's more than a little ironic that his own father is an immigrant himself.”

ADAMS: Daniel Tyrie The Heritage Huckster
The Dominion Society leader talks about defending Canadian tradition, but his own history, contradictions, and double standards tell a very different story.

In about three hours, I'll be at Jamil Jivani's Restore the North event at TMU. I've got one major policy disagreement with him, and I plan to bring it up directly. Let's just say… Ryerson has no idea what kind of debate they're about to witness.
Gavin Newsom isn't transphobic; he's just not a good ally. He's ignorant, not malicious. But “ignorant” isn't an excuse when you have power. And acting like we can't call that out because “Trump is worse” is the dumbest political logic imaginable.
Michelle Rempel Garner's recent attacks on jus soli misses the mark. Birthright citizenship is part of what makes Canada what it is today, and we should not punish children for their parents' choices. We should strengthen inclusion, not weaken it. ⬇️

Wishing a very happy “long weekend holiday” to all who celebrate.
@DanielTyrie built a movement glorifying old stock Canada while his own family story is one of immigration and opportunity. Read my full piece on the Dominion Society and the man behind it 🔽
Do NOT lend credibility to far-right narratives by arguing on their terms. That's exactly what they want: to drag you into a bad-faith debate so they can twist your words and control the narrative. Instead, stand your ground. Everyone has the right to bodily autonomy.
Bonnie Crombie was more conservative than Doug Ford. The difference? Ford never faked it.
On #Oct7th, I condemn terrorism and the killing of civilians by both Hamas & the Israeli military. We cannot solve this problem by continuing to silence people. Let us start over, rebuild from compassion, and finally end this endless cycle of violence. 🇨🇦🇮🇱🇵🇸
For two years, leaders across 🇨🇦 have ignored the suppression of legal speech critical of Israel. This is no accident and CDNs have had enough. In my latest for The Provincial Times, I defend the right to controversial speech and affirm: criticizing a foreign gov't isn't hate. 🔽
On Thursday, I had the honour of meeting @beynate.bsky.social and watching a live episode of Uncommons, one of my favourite podcasts. It was a great experience. Nate's a genuinely thoughtful, down-to-earth guy.

Always nice when someone you respect actually lives up to it.
Just rewatched The Lorax after many years. I'd forgotten about Cy, the O'Hare delivery guy who says trees are “worth a try.” Think about it: he basically spoke out against his own employer & lost his job for a better world. That's courage. That's public service.

Bravo, Cy! 🌳

So I just opened Instagram and apparently it's National Boyfriend Day. Cool. Great. Love that. And then it hit me: I'm not a boyfriend. Like… at all. 😔😔
