I live in Victoria BC. Former educator. I love live music and pets, I follow politics (but probably shouldn’t) and have been called “a buzzkill” by even my most liberal friends. I’m not a buzzkill. He/him.

Something I was struck by while reading Keegan Matheson's "The Franchise" is Carlos Delgado's recognition that, as a famous athlete, he had a large platform that he felt compelled to use to advocate for social justice issues. I truly wish more athletes felt this way. What a guy.

"When it happens, Republicans will object (and you can only imagine the meltdown Trump himself will have on Truth Social). The response Dems give should be simple: *Too bad. We have the power now.* A strong message must be sent to the country and future generations that Trump will not be honored."

According to Trump, I’m radical left scum. If you’re also radical left scum, then let’s follow each other and fight this regime together.

Crockett: Why don't you at least try to look like you're serious about your job and look like you are doing the work of the people and not look like a petulant child and swear her in.

Not being even vaguely sarcastic: At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.

I’ve seen this reported in a few publications though admittedly not any American ones. I know given FIFA’s history it’s not likely, but maybe with enough pressure they would consider it? I strongly urge the Olympics to consider moving the games as well. www.moroccoworldnews.com/2025/07/2298...

2.2M Canadians still travelled to the USA by passenger vehicle in February. Unless you need to visit a dying relative or are ordered to by your employer, there NO EXCUSES for visiting America anymore. Stop giving money to the dictatorship trying to annex us. Stop risking travel to a lawless regime.

Hey CBC, don’t do this. It’s not a “proposal.” Having different wording on your website won’t diminish the harm done by having Canada’s national broadcaster treat this as a serious conversation (see below for how it’s being portrayed on the relatively sane CPAC…). Pull out of this disaster now.
