Once Doug builds the private spa no one asked for, I’m sure people will be keen to book conventions at the new convention centre no one asked for.

By the way, Trump still has not publicly congratulated the U.S. women's hockey team. That seems to be lost in all this. No statement. No social media post. No call to them. Nothing.

congrats to the mens hockey team for letting a demented 80 year old sex criminal steal your shine and make himself the center of your accomplishment

β€œIt is time to acknowledge what has become tragically obvious: the Trump administration is operating as a massive criminal enterprise.”

This absolutely captures it. Instead of "Trump Administration," we should say "Trump Syndicate."

An independent Alberta would have nothing in common with Norway Norway is a country defined by aggressive climate policy, high taxes and public ownership of oil and gas operations. So why do Alberta's separatists keep pretending it's a useful comparison to their f...

My latest: Alberta's separatist leaders keep using Norway as an example of why an independent Alberta would work.

Let's put that to the test, shall we? #cdnpoli #abpoli

"Here are some other things Norway has: a 78 per cent effective tax rate on upstream oil and gas operations, substantial public ownership in the sector (including its largest company, Equinor), massive electric vehicle subsidies, and a consumption tax of 25 per cent."

The Winter Olympics start today, and we will feel pride and honor for our country.

But when we see our criminal, delusional President, we feel none of those things.

I’ve faced off with him before, and now I’m ready to take him on in Congress.

Message from the Governor General of Canada on the passing of Catherine O’Hara

January 30, 2026

It is with profound sadness that my husband, Whit, and I learned of the passing of Catherine O’Hara, a cultural trailblazer and acting legend whose creative genius helped define the Canadian artistic consciousness.

Ms. O’Hara was a sparkling inspiration who pushed boundaries and shone a spotlight on Canadian comedy. From her hometown debut with The Second City comedy troupe in Toronto, to her celebrated characters in SCTV, she could embody characters like few other actors. Her unforgettable roles in Beetlejuice, Home Alone, Best in Show and Schitt’s Creek cemented her legacy as an icon of pop culture.

A recipient of the 2021 Governor General’s Performing Arts Award for Lifetime Artistic Achievement, Ms. O’Hara was widely recognized for her warmth and brilliance. In 2018, her immense contributions were further honored when she was invested as an Officer of the Order of Canada.

Whit and I extend our deepest condolences to her family, friends, and all those whose lives she touched through her work.

Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve. The multiracial community in Minneapolis was supposed to shatter. It did not. It held until Bovino was forced out of the Twin Cities with his long coat between his legs.

The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesiveβ€”because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about β€œWestern civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significantβ€”though not finalβ€”victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong.

Just a quick note about Bovino being moved and the other aesthetic politicoplasty the Trump administration is undertaking:

Don't be fooled. Don't get all Susan Collins-y about it. Trump hasn't learned his lesson. He never will.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.

His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

I think you are underestimating the distrust against the US. Not only did you elect a madman twice, even after he was convicted of felonies, but your system has been utterly incapable of addressing the insanity, grift, and horror of his regime.
As Carney said the world order has been ruptured.

High maternal and infant mortality? Lower lifespan? No parental leave? Zero required vacation days? Larger gap between the haves and the have nots? Less upward mobility? Lower education?
