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:

The rise of far-right authoritarianism just got kicked in the nads. Hard. Viktor Orbán, a puppet master of the rise of the far-right, just lost the election in Hungary. Everyone who cares about the rise of the far right should care about this — but shouldn’t get complacent. Here’s why:
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:
Carney has announced a new AI strategy to ramp up adoption of the tech-bro-touted technology in a way that he says “serves all Canadians.” But BIG questions are lingering about how this aggressive ramp up will play out in a world where data centres guzzle water and destroy the environment:
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:
Almost a year after the federal election, Mark Carney’s Liberals have secured a majority government. But what does that actually mean for average Canadians? And uh, is it…okay that he did this, primarily through floor crossings, a year after the election? I have thoughts:
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:
Lewis: “The prime minister is very popular at the moment. He’s a smart guy, and many Canadians still want to give him the benefit of the doubt. That’s fair.” “But I think when you connect the dots, his moves do not add up to the vision that Canadians truly want and deserve in this perilous moment.”
Lewis: “Our NDP has a different offer for this country. Our plan is to Trump-proof the economy by investing massively in Canadian economic independence using the unmatched power of public ownership.” “A network of public providers for food, phones, and internet. A public housing developer.”
In today’s video, I’m going to show you a clip. In it, Israel’s national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir can be seen toasting champagne to celebrate a apartheid law enacting a death penalty for Palestinians. I reached out to our foreign affairs minister to ask about it. Here’s what happened:
The school funding formula needed an update and I’m glad the legislature made a change. We need to pay our teachers more and fully fund our schools.

That's all it takes: 1 kg of oil, 1 kg of sugar, 1 kg of salt, 1 kg of beans, 1 kg of rice, four cans of SPAM, and empty promises for €30-50. This is how much the #Serbian vote is worth to our government. What a sad #world we live in. #Serbia #Election #Protest
Healthy cities have people continuously coming and going from near and far. Cities without immigration decay and suffer economically. Immigration policies should reflect these demographic realities. For more, see my new book "Immigration and Urban Vitality: How Newcomers Make Cities Strong."

🌴Good Evening Passed Aways🌴 It's the start of my work weekend and it has been a rollercoaster today! BUT! It hasn't been bad. Honestly? It was more manageable than I am accustomed to. But I am going to try and find purchase in some personal luxuries. Maybe play a game or get in a VC with friends 💀🧡

Ed Davey is right to boycott Trump’s state banquet. The suffering in Gaza cannot be ignored. Trump has the leverage to bring peace - and Keir Starmer must urge him to act.
