UBC Lind Initiative 2026: Rachel Maddow YouTube video by UBC School of Public Policy and Global Affairs

Rachel Maddow spoke at UBC this week.

She holds no punches back during the question period. US is in trouble and she has advice for how Canadians can help. One of her suggestions was to let Carney lead as the US just isn't capable at the moment.

America is inflicting globabl damage. This will only increase universal animosity towards the US. The only people who can change this are the Americans themselves. So, you didn' tvote for him? Well, guess what, the majority of your country did. That tells the rest of the world everything.

Good! They should be embarrassed and ashamed. And yes, I do hope this hurts their future employment. Actions have consequences and the decisions that you make today can and will haunt you tomorrow.

Transparency watchdog blasts ‘shocking’ Ontario plan to hide premier cellphone records | Globalnews.ca New policy will retroactively block the release of communications from the premier, ministers, parliamentary assistants or their staff through access to information requests.

Doug Ford says he needs to keep his cell phone records private to protect the privacy of his constituents calling to ask him to install a stop sign on their street or ask him to sell them a Conservation Area cheap.

It was true in 2018 and it's true in 2026. Only worse.

The only risk in playing Russian Roulette is that you pull the trigger when a bullet's in the chamber. Otherwise it's perfectly safe.

THAT'S NOT A BICYCLE! "E-Bike" Safety, Laws, and Definitions That Cyclists (and Parents) Should Know YouTube video by Phil Gaimon

Phil Gaimon has some great thoughts on illegal #emotos and #ebike policy - but also about redirecting safety discussions back toward the real problem, which is cars www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4vr...

"vibes" = "gut feeling"

And Doug Ford governs from his gut. Always has, always will.

Vibes? Ford is basing this decision on vibes? You know who else makes even bigger decisions based on vibes? Trump, who has said he is going to decide when to end the Iran war based on the "feelings in my bones".

Go #Canada!

Yes he is !

I've also seen these used for seniors. Wonderful the adaptions that can and are being made for many different types of uses and users.

Defending street parking for commerce ignores that a 2-meter tall SUV completely hides the business behind it.

Car bloat creates physical barriers. Human-scale transit keeps sightlines clear and storefronts inviting.

Portrait of a corrupt coward. He’s drawing from Trump’s playbook with this latest move. #DougFordIsCorrupt #onpoli

Doug Ford and his sycophants have so much to hide!!!!

This move will also increase the strain on hospitals, while creating more deaths. #Ford is an absolute disgace.

"The government insists the move is not about changing the rules after losing two legal challenges to release Ford’s phone records."

Just what would Ford's cellphone records show? And it's very troubling, too, that Ford is attempting a legislative end run around a judicial decision.

What does Doug have to hide? He has to go Ontario. This is Trump behaviour. 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Please consider calling Ford to say, "NO!" to this most recent, brazen move to avoid accountability. I did and got right thru.

Efficiencies won't solve hospital financial crisis, Ontario Hospital Association says There's a billion-dollar structural deficit that is growing rapidly, said Anthony Dale, CEO of the Ontario Hospital Association.

The only efficiencies that will fix our hospitals is if Ford is more efficient in giving hospitals the health care money he’s sitting on:

“Ontario, the most populous province in Canada, spends the least per capita on acute care, hospital beds and staff.”

We could really use a version of "Which Side Are You On" to inspire the World to choose between the #TrumpRegime slide into fascism & a return to multinational cooperation to find Peace, Love, Empathy.
