Born in Chicago, raised in Toronto, 40-year resident of Ottawa. I voted for Harris in '24, Biden in '20, HRC in '16 and Libs in '15, ‘19, ‘21 and ‘25. I mute idiots/trolls.
- “The Supreme Court debates the legal equivalent of how many angels can fit on the head of a pin, while the legal order that has held the country together for 250 years sputters toward an ignominious end.” Gift article. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/o...
- Hell, yes! Fight the ICE assholes!
- Well, well, well. 🧐
- Ooh! Harsh! But factual.
- Bezo has shown himself to be unworthy of owning The Washington Post. Someone with integrity and business sense needs to step in and buy it from him. Someone like MacKenzie Scott. @washingtonpost.com
- Winner winner, chicken dinner! The new Republican party slogan for 2026!
- de Adder. He’s Canadian, eh?
- Republicans: “It’s not a crime to party with Mr. Epstein”. Great slogan going into 2026 midterms, dudes. 🙄
- In a way - a very small way - I feel sorry for these guys. Two Latinos brainwashed into arresting others who yearn to be free. If they *are* the ones who shot Pretti they deserve to go to jail for their crimes. But you have to ask yourself: what did America do to make them into monsters?
- NEW: This isn't about "training." The two agents who murdered Alex Pretti - Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez - have been with Border Patrol for 8 and 12 years respectively. You can't reform CBP. Abolish ICE/CBP. www.propublica.org/article/alex...
- Not only did the Conservatives lose the general election, but Mr. Poilievre lost the district he had represented for more than two decades.” I guess calling the “district” Poilievre represented a “riding” would be too confusing for @nytimes.com readers. 🙄 www.nytimes.com/2026/01/31/w...
- “Canada’s main opposition leader, Pierre Poilievre, a populist sometimes compared to President Trump” In the print edition, it reads: “Canada’s main opposition leader, Pierre Poilievre, a populist inspired by President Trump” No, PP is his own shit weasel. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/31/w...
- “Putin won 87.8% of the vote, the highest ever result in Russia's post-Soviet history, according to an exit poll by pollster (FOM).” Poilievre only got 87.4% of the conservative members votes. PP still has a lot to learn about being an autocrat. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

- As usual, Trump gets it wrong. 🙄
- “Gulfstream has changed the electronics and navigation system of some of its models to extend their flying range and payload … the Canadian aviation regulator is reviewing the changes … ‘We haven’t decertified the Gulfstream; we are looking at the paperwork’” www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

- Remember this? You know who is losing? The U.S. is losing. www.reuters.com/article/busi...

- For all those who continue to whine “Why don’t former Presidents doooo something!!!”
- This is North America. We are the frogs in the boiling pot. We don’t realize how quickly our society is deteriorating because the deterioration, like the temperature of the water, has been gradual. One only has to get out of the pot and visit other countries to realize how bad it’s become.
- Amazing how everyone who has been paying attention will immediately get this.
- This is bad news. A growing population creates jobs, as new migrants buy consumer goods, buy homes, pay taxes. Low population growth means low economic growth and stagnation.
- The [U.S,] population grew last year at one of the slowest rates in its history, according to … the Census Bureau. The immigration numbers plunged by more than 50 percent from the previous year, under the aggressive anti-immigration policies of President Trump.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/u...

- “U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents will have a security role during the upcoming Milan Cortina Winter Games, according to information shared with local media by sources at the U.S. Embassy in Rome.” I did not believe this until I saw this report. Absurd.🙄 www.cbc.ca/sports/olymp...
- Greg Bovino is reported to have become a border patrol officer after seeing the movie “The Border” at the tender age of twelve. Question is: did he most admire the evil character played by Harvey Keitel, or the character who discovers his morality, played by Jack Nicholson?
- This is how it’s going, right?
- The Michigan UP references may be lost on many, but I find this funny as hell. Or as a frozen wasteland.
- Ooh! How brave of the @nytimes.com Editorial Board! After years of vilifying Democrats and normalizing Trump’s behaviour, it decides to speak out!🙄 www.nytimes.com/2026/01/25/o...
- How absurd is this? A man accused of participating in a $100M jewelry theft is on bail and, before he can be prosecuted, ICE deports him to Ecuador where, presumably, he gets off scot-free. Well done, DHS! 🙄 Gift article for y’all. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/u...
- Tracee Mergen is a hero for opposing the cover-up. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/23/u...
- Jee-SUS! This is an inappropriate headline. Calling this a “win” for a man killed 70 years ago is pretty fucked, TBH.
- Notice how the @nytimes.com subtly normalizes the crazy ideas Trump has? No, the U.S. has *not* had a “fixation” on Greenland since the 1940s. This is bullshit.
- What do you notice about this list of the more reprehensible members of Trump Administration v2.0? Hmmm? Bondi - 1965 - Gen-X Patel - 1980 - Gen-X Lutnick - 1961 - Boomer Bessent - 1962 - Boomer Noem - 1971 - Gen-X Miller - 1985 - Gen-X RFK Jr. - 1954 - Boomer Vance - 1984 - Gen-X
- At this very moment there are hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people with terminal illnesses who are clinging to life long enough so they can see these miserable fuckers (you know who I mean) arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced to long jail terms.
- Posts we don’t want to see: - posts asking why former Dem presidents and candidates don’t speak out: Y’all didn’t fucking listen in 2024, why should they bother now? - posts saying Dems “need a leader!!!”. See above. - posts whining “what do we doooo!!!”: listen to people when they fucking warn you.
- From Threads.
- @theglobeandmail.com why do you publish this crap? Ms. Urback, as far as we have been able to determine, is not a psychologist, psychiatrist or gerontologist, and therefore not able to assess President Biden’s mental acuity. And yet you persist in publishing this woman’s idiotic opinions.
- Thank you, @robynurback.bsky.social, noted gerontologist, for your assessment of President Biden’s cognitive abilities in the first paragraph. Yes, I stopped reading at that point, recognizing that you were on another one of your many patented Bad Takes™️. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...
