Some professional news: My Massey fellowship is done (best experience ever). I'm back at the Star, but am hanging up my columnist boots after almost 9 years to now be an investigative reporter. Want to take different approach to topics of importance and in the public interest. 🧵

If you're wondering who is behind those Jagmeet Singh duffel bag ads on here, know that it's part of a multi-billion dollar scam empire being run out of Eastern European call centers. It's an absolutely massive problem and Canada is a priority target.

Someone will have to explain to me why a Palestinian wearing a Palestinian scarf is actually Antisemitism.

I hate Canadian Halloween, what do you mean you’re Jagmeet Singh’s suspicious red duffle bag

Good grief. Imagine having a problem with a woman FEEDING her baby like this. Sorry but if your husband is incapable of not staring at a woman's breasts while she feeds, that's that's husband issue not a mother issue. What a pair of arseholes

Internal docs show MTO staff warned against Ford govt’s bike lane removal: “No empirical evidence that ties bike lanes as the sole source of congestion, nor is there data that shows removing bike lanes help with better traffic flow” thestar.com/news/gta/doug-fo… #onpoli #bikeTO #TOpoli

You’ve heard a lot about Umar Khalid through the media. But amid the media witch-hunt against him, there has been very little space for him to speak for himself, especially since he’s spent the last six years in jail.
So I want to tell you a little about my friend Umar, in his own words, as shared with his family and friends.
We’ve got a Thanos vs Sauron thing going on here
Dear Prime Minister Ambani,
Please accept my humble apologies for not realizing that you are the real boss of India.
Naturally, you would prefer to maintain your monopolistic exploitation of the great people of India, but would you nonetheless consider allowing Starlink to compete?
There are many areas of India, as there are in all countries, with no Internet access, which denies children the opportunity for education and for small businesses the opportunity to sell their goods to a global market. Starlink would change their lives for the better.
Thank you 🙏
Navi Pillay winning the Nobel Peace Prize is a moment of hope for humanity. Under this South African judge, the UN Independent Commission of inquiry on OPT determined that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza. “Why does one need courage to speak the truth?” she said.

Intelligence must draw on memory. The mind must not simply compile data — as an algorithm now does more quickly than we can — but recall lived experiences, which contain depths of meaning that only the human soul can recognize, and connect more deeply with the goodness of these experiences. Everything that is good begins “with the Spirit” and thus possesses a breath, a dynamism and a sense of communion that, once experienced, are engraved upon the heart. vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…
How TMU is training journalists who can challenge the industry to uphold its standards on Israel Palestine. Among changes, they brought in 2 journalists from Palestine, reversing the usual Western training machine of ‘let us teach you how to do the thing.’ theeyeopener.com/2026/10/tea…
One of them is Walid Batrawi, who in May 2023, visited the Gaza Strip to conduct a “hostile environment training.” He now feels sick: “many of those who I have trained have been targeted and killed, and one of them is still missing,” he says.

Jason Kenney has this cool trick where he positions himself as a moderate, reasonable defender of federalism one minute, only to drop the most insanely racist rhetoric the next

Almost nothing produces comedy this sublime the way crude identity politics does:

Not a shred of evidence that journalists partook in military activities. Zero
But as Western media starts its due diligence, Apartheid Israel escalates disinformation. The army has even a "legitimization cell" fabricating stories to justify genocide. My next report exposes it all
“Canada's refusal to discharge its clear and unambiguous obligations to execute the arrest and surrender of Netanyahu demonstrates a commitment to lawlessness."
Netanyahu is flying freely over Canada as his international arrest warrant remains in place.
There are shifting explanations as to why from the Carney government.

Zohran Mamdani on the Gaza genocide: “There’s a book by writer Omar El Akkad: One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This. The reason that stays in my head is it’s such a succinct way of describing the fact that the more years pass, the most people will feel comfortable coming forward and saying that was horrible. And we’ll eventually get to a point where some of the people responsible will start to say that was horrible”
Protect Avi Lewis, please.
