I want to talk about the subtle ways people online can influence how you and others around you think. Because I’ve noticed a trend. Not only is actually pretty smart, but it seems to help accounts gain influence over online conversations — for better or for worse worse:

A CANADIAN Trump critic is suing the U.S. administration to stop them from getting his personal data from Google. After the user posted criticism about federal agents killing protesters, DHS asked Google for his associated names, addresses, phone numbers, credit card and bank information. Yikes:
Return of the Left? The NDP crown their leader this weekend! What’ll it mean for the future of progressive politics in Canada? Plus: Poilievre went on Rogan, Canada’s top cop said something wild and big tech is having some big troubles. @parismarx.com and @supriya.bsky.social discuss: Sneak peek:
I thought I was going to report on Carney’s office being caught in a lie. But it’s turned into a story of a potentially hallucinated claim that led to a politician getting widely dunked on. Oh, and a female columnist who called out the error before it was corrected? She had *her* piece pulled:
I’m finding myself increasingly horrified at how low some politicians go. They’re willing to lie despite being fact-checked, they’re willing to downplay horrors, and they’re willing to legitimize icky influencers. It's also, awkwardly, a disproportionate problem within the Conservative Party:
Is Alberta…okay? Danielle Smith’s UCP government has been neglecting cost of living issues so she can gerrymander elections, bully trans kids, privatize healthcare, enact don’t say gay laws and more! @colenotcole.bsky.social joined me on today’s episode to break it all down. Here’s a sneak peek:
It’s not often I get to report good news, so we’re going to take some time to do that today — because @theonion.com officially has a deal to take over Alex Jones’ InfoWars. Their plan? To turn it into a parody of itself. It’s going to be so good:
Do you get health and wellness info from social media? Well, according to a new report from Pew Research Centre, you’re not alone. But who are these influencers, and what are their credentials? Who is turning to influencers, and why? What Pew found was really interesting — and a bit worrying:
Someone should probably find out if there was a gas leak at the Globe and Mail. Short of that, it’s hard to fathom why their editorial board thought it was a good idea to publish their piece on potential unmarked graves at residential schools. This navel-gazing, both-sides bullshit hurts people:
Today in the mainstreaming of far-right bullshit, let’s check in on the National Post and former Alberta Premier Jason Kenney. Because they are both going out of their way to defend and arguably boost an infamously racist book, The Camp of the Saints. Here’s what’s going on:
Chilling details emerged today about the Canadian government’s inaction as Israel kidnapped and abused Canadians bringing aid to Gaza. Israel shot at them, beat them, stabbed them, and left them for dead. One activist called the Canadian consulate between Israel's attacks -- but no help came:
⭕Les colons #Israéliens coloniaux ont incendié les terres agricoles #Palestiniennes dans les plaines du village #-Mughayyir. #PALESTINE-ONLINE
David French: [Trump's] version of a deal is that somebody maybe, possibly says something positive, and then he announces a deal, or he just makes it up entirely. It's the Baghdad Bob administration here... Trump is constantly promoting deals that don't exist. Victories that never happened.
