@brigittepellerin.bsky.socialCynical goodies and empty promises make me angry and Evan explain why they work on so many people. I’m still angry.
@brigittepellerin.bsky.socialThe most beautiful tree in my neighborhood.
@brigittepellerin.bsky.socialThis light. These colours.
@brigittepellerin.bsky.socialIt was a well-run and informative event. I’m glad I went.
@brigittepellerin.bsky.socialThe next No Kings rally is next week. I discuss the last one I attended in Huntsville, Alabama. And add that not only is Texas in play now (with James Talarico looking to trounce Ken Paxton for the Senate) but so is… Kansas? The people, they are pissed. brigittepellerin.substack.com/p/a-day-fit-...
@brigittepellerin.bsky.socialIf the Nanos numbers from yesterday carry to election day, that’s a big problem for Jeff Leiper.
@brigittepellerin.bsky.socialThis week’s pod was recorded before the Nanos poll came out — we’ll chew on those numbers next week, along with a flurry of promises and announcements that are coming. For now, we have the flood delay, 27,533 early voters and a Big Beautiful Idea. randomactsofurbanism.substack.com/p/the-eight-...
@brigittepellerin.bsky.socialWell, that’s interesting. I note a high proportion of undecideds still. www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/artic...
@brigittepellerin.bsky.socialComing up on the pod with Evan Potter: whither the undecideds?

@brigittepellerin.bsky.socialFriday, 7pm — I'm on Rogers TV Ottawa, interviewing Coun. Glenn Gower as he prepares for the next chapter in his life. Hope you’ll tune in! 📺
@brigittepellerin.bsky.socialCatching you up on MAGA deciding Americans needed a live execution for the holidays, Sutcliffe's suspiciously well-timed interest in swimming lessons, the feds' MAID cowardice, my midterms red-wall rundown, the PQ's return, and Alex Lawson's tax freeze. brigittepellerin.com/campaigns/vi...
@brigittepellerin.bsky.socialA year ago I said Poilievre was covered in loser dust. This week he's in Question Period fighting over diesel and the price of Thanksgiving dinner — so, has he shaken it off?
(Hint: Nope.)

@brigittepellerin.bsky.socialThe first time I met Danielle Smith, in 2025, she was already complaining about how unfair it was that separatists in Quebec were getting what she saw as favourable treatment. It’s not surprising she’d be the one to facilitate separation in Alberta. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
@brigittepellerin.bsky.socialOttawa municipal politics nerds — totally last minute but if you’re going to the debate tonight at the Mlacak Center in Kanata and want to have a beer with me beforehand, I’ll be chilling at the Royal Oak on March Road from 5:30ish until 6:45.
@brigittepellerin.bsky.socialA new take on a classic ad, a live execution for the holidays, and more nonsense. brigittepellerin.substack.com/p/bricks-n-b...
@brigittepellerin.bsky.socialThe Christmas spirit, MAGA style. The Trump administration wants to livestream a firing squad execution for this holiday season www.lawdork.com/p/the-trump-...
@brigittepellerin.bsky.socialNope. Hate this. Anti-community. Anti-poster lampposts appear in Ottawa's downtown www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
@brigittepellerin.bsky.socialWhat fresh hell is this, OC Transpo?
@brigittepellerin.bsky.socialThat's a fun piece. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
