Donovan Woods music is like a great book, the kind where you re-read the same page twice because writing is that good. Like if Steinbeck had an acoustic guitar.

This photo reminded me that, for a short time, 11 years ago 6/13 of Canada's Premiers were women.

The people in front of me on the plane have pressed the flight attendant call button 3 times this flight. I haven’t pressed that button once in my life. Do you use the call button?

Hell yeah! Canadian fencing medal. The first ever for our country!!

Blown away at the athleticism is rugby 7s. What a game

1,000 of the 10,000 Olympic Athletes are incoming, current, or alumni NCAA athletes. For all the shit US college sports takes, given all the money involved, pumping out 10% of the world’s best athletes is pretty remarkable especially considering football isn’t in the Olympics.

18 year olds on Tik tok are about to uncover more about Isis than the pentagon ever has

File this under the "yikes" category. I guess you don't need to worry about saving for a house if you can't even get a job. Every government across Canada should be worried about this.

I’m not sure if break dancing is long for the Olympics BUT I would propose synchronized swimming adopts the battle format

Finally Canada takes its rightful place at the height of breakdancing.

One of the really challenging things about campaigning as an incumbent is that if you claim victory for something then you will also take blame for the opposite.

Interesting chart from Business Council of Alberta

I've drafted then deleted so many tweets this morning. Developing an interest in politics was such a curse.

Reupping this thread because people keep being surprised when this century and a half old model of sorting French parliamentarians doesn’t adequately explain contemporary politics

I feel like the federal NDP has ceded so much ground on class politics to Poilievre's CPC that this messaging reads so inauthentically to me. If I was an NDP staffer I'd be focusing my attention provincially.

This messaging is so weird. Like someone ChatGPT'd it. Using "it's time" messaging while refusing to push for an election is odd. Also must be a slight to David Eby (or Horgan for that matter) that they didn't make the cut of the highlighted prov leaders
