Doug Ford sounds more like his one time hero down south every day and his expropriations sound a lot like Cheetos beloved executive orders. Ford sounds more like Trump every day right down to his attacking students as basket weaving bums who don’t pay their share. Just more likable for some reason.
@torontostar-rss.bsky.social managed to send actual reporter to @torontosceptres.bsky.social packed home game Sunday. Women’s Day after all. But the story was buried at bottom of an inside page and Star still cheaped out. Sent no photographer, used wire service pic. Women’s sports deserve better.
Nepo baby Doug Ford wants a generation of working class kids who manage to get into university to graduate carrying massive debt while his and his pals kids are launched debt free into a life of privilege.
After covering women’s sports somewhat diligently during the Olympics @torontostar-rss.bsky.social scores own goal by NOT sending a reporter to cover Toronto Sceptres first post-Olympic home game packed with Olympic stars. They used CP wire copy instead— for local game. No wonder readership is down.
If you’re just getting your news on Israeli-US attack on Iran from western news channels you need to add Al Jazeera to the mix to get important perspective. You can add it to your cable or watch live for free www.aljazeera.com/video/live
You disgraced yourself and have destroyed all the goodwill that you generated in Davos. Why are you defaulting to being a Trump stooge after saying you would fight back?
201 Iranians already dead including schoolchildren in Trump’s war to distract from Trump-Epstein Files. And Carney supports this cynical brutality.
Shameful support of imperialism
Shameful! You are disgracing Canada by supporting this aggression. All of your recent goodwill squandered. Turning into Tony Blair
@mark-carney.bsky.social’s “winning streak “ officially over as he falls in line with war mongers in supporting US and Israel’s unjustifiable attacks on Iran.
The stink of Danielle Smith’s immigrant blaming forcthe mess that is Alberta is shameful and has no place in Canadian politics. Alberta screwed up betting everything on oil and Tory governments routinely squandered the cash from oil’s glory days. Alberta’s challenges are home grown not imported.
Director @bazluhrmann has created a characteristically gorgeous, surprisingly intimate performance-based celebration of the King of Rock ‘n’ Rock in his latest film @epic.themovie that deserves to be seen on the biggest screen. Check out our 5-N review here: nextmag.ca/review-baz-l...
Post-secondary students are an asset to any country and creating financial barriers is short sighted as well as unfair. Shameful backsliding in Ontario with tuition hikes and grant cutbacks. Why do we continue to let Doug Ford deconstruct Ontario? Tuition free in smart countries.
Blown away by legendary songwriter Jimmy Webb @hughsroomlive.bsky.social Tuesday night. Mesmerizing master class in songwriting. He’s back there Thursday but sold out.
Matt Johnson’s and Jay McCarrol's hilarious new film, “Nirvanna the Band, the Show, the Movie” is the best comedy of the year and one of 2026’s best films. I can’t recommend it enough! I speak with the talented filmmakers for @nextmagcanada here: nextmag.ca/interview-ni...
What a crazy country.
Only two seats total sold for four screenings today in Toronto. Smart film goers in this town not taking the bait.
“Melania” is even worse than expected— and I expected it to be horrible. This appalling infomercial for fascist royalty feels like it could have been made by Marie Antoinette in last days of Louis XVI’s despotic regime. Our first zero N review @nextmagazine.bsky.social: nextmag.ca/review-melan...
Toronto’s @thepwhl.com team @torontosceptres.bsky.social play a rare game Scotiabank Arena, a major event and @torontostar-rss.bsky.social doesn’t even send a reporter, they use Canadian Press coverage instead. Pathetic! And then they wonder why readership in decline. Do the work!
Time for @maritstilesndp.bsky.social to seize the moment. Liberals leaderless, adrift and will be for a while and Ford fatigue is inevitable especially as his possibly criminal actions become clearer. Stop playing it safe. Present a real progressive choice and shoot from the hip. People are ready.
Yes but shameful number approve
Handsome Ned was King of Queen Street in the 1980s until his death from a heroin overdose, 39 years ago on January 10. “You Left Me Blue: The Handsome Ned Story” screens at the Paradise on the anniversary of his death. My feature on brilliant artist, gone too soon here: nextmag.ca/preview-musi...
Meeting with the @northby.bsky.social programming team as we begin booking bands for our 31st festival this June. I love this part of the job. Still find it thrilling to hear undiscovered gems among thousands of applications. So much talent. Can’t wait to share these acts with the world June 10-14.
The definition of genocide.
A new year is like a fresh sheet of ice, full of amazing potential. Wishing you all a spectacular 2026.
CBC’s Here and Now were stooges for last mayoralty election’s joke candidate Brad Bradford getting quotes from him on today’s newscast like he’s voice of civic opposition. He’s not, he’s a shape shifting opportunist who’s stopped working for his constituents while he jumps gun on election campaign.
Hadn’t opened my X account in months. What a cesspool, wont be going back any time soon.
Doug Ford likes to engage in shadow boxing with Trump but at heart he’s a Trumper and shares his comfort with lying, creating false “enemies” as well as commitment to serving his One Percent buddies while pretending to serve “Common Man”. “Hates” drunk drivers but endangers school kids, cyclists.
Great to see @maritstilesndp.bsky.social finally dropping the gloves and going on attack against corrupt Doug Ford. Voters will respond to someone ready to fight for them as Premier deconstructs the province.
Neil Young 80th birthday celebration @masseyhall.bsky.social saw some of Canada’s best musicians showcase all sides of their hero’s songbook. Check out my 5-N @nextmagazine here: nextmag.ca/live-review-...
