I wrote this piece about Quebec nationalism, western alienation, and the nature of Canadian identity

for all people mock it wikipedia is genuinely one of the wonders of the modern world

There are so many areas where Canada could go on the offensive and strengthen our economy and society by taking advantage of US self-immolation. This is one. Poaching all of US academia/R&D is another.
But they all require an activist, high-capacity state, not an austerity-obsessed government.

Banning arms shipments to a state committing genocide: ⛔️⛔️⛔️

Banning a hip hop group for speaking out against that genocide and slandering them as antisemitic: ✅️✅️✅️

countries outside the US should start seeing social media companies like they see propagandistic state media.

the fact average people can post doesn’t negate how the platform owner shapes what information we see, the power that gives them, and how little regard they have for social consequences.

Vance, Trump, and Bondi each said things yesterday that were horrifying on their own. Taken together, a very clear roadmap for the future emerges

Trump is actively preparing a large-scale crackdown on left-wing dissent. The threat of widescale repression is no longer abstract; it is imminent

We live in a time where the sane are losing the battle against the insane because the media keeps plaforming the insane over the sane because insane leads
to more clicks

Finally some good news

Liberals are doing the right’s job for it.

By lionizing Charlie Kirk and refusing to acknowledge his real political project, they’re giving power to the right’s completely predictable effort to use his death to forward their goal of an authoritarian, fascist state.

I do think it’s worth noting that few people in this country contributed to the culture of political violence quite as much as Charlie Kirk.

It's simple. They see themselves in him. They do not see themselves in his targets.

One of the defining experiences of my life, and I think yours, is gradually witnessing the internet degrade from the most sophisticated tool for information distribution in history into a cesspit of misinformation and falsehoods.

It's a world-historical tragedy, what's happening to us.

it’s a beautiful day to shut the fuck up

A functioning society would lock these people up for the rest of their lives.

Exactly, should be investigated the same way they went after Canadians involved with ISIS. Accountability needs to come from the countries who claim to stand for human rights.

Daniel Raab is an American from the Chicago suburbs. Here, he remorselessly describes murdering a family of unarmed civilians in Gaza as they try to retrieve the bodies of their dead family members.

Every person who has served in the IDF should be criminally investigated in their country of origin.

we’re going to have to throw a lot of people in jail after all this is over

Happy Labour Day! I wrote about how the Canadian government has been addicted to strikebreaking for decades

I co-wrote this piece about why the Canadian government should nationalize shuttered auto plants and use them to manufacture vehicles for public use

My latest for @therovermedia.bsky.social. It's on Gaza, and Canada, and somehow the Expos come up twice. It's long. Find a comfy chair.

dont post abt your guns. dont post abt doing violence to feds. dont post abt doing violence to the administration. if you absolutely MUST ramble on belligerently abt these things do it the old fashioned way: at a loud bar with people you know and trust

Another bombshell investigation from @972mag.com: The Israeli army literally has a squad whose job is to find or fabricate justifications for the murder of journalists. It is called the "Legitimization Cell."

Israel targeted and assassinated the entire crew of Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza—bringing the number of journalists killed to 270, more than both world wars, vietnam, and afghanistan combined.

This is how one of Canada's largest newspapers reported the news. The National Post should be shut down.
