Tuesday evening, I appeared on CTV’s political talk show, Alberta Prime Time, to discuss some of the “reasoning” - if it can be called that - behind Alberta’s referendum(s). Here’s that conversation. https://youtu.be/tu96ZynJE0c?si=WHD6FlylY0fJd-8p #ableg #abpoli #Alberta #notothenine #cdnpoli

My final pre-referendum podcast - a powerful and poignant conversation with leaders from Alberta’s Chinese, Filipino and Vietnamese communities about their love for Canada, their love for Alberta, and their extraordinary, creative efforts to motivate and educate voters, to prepare them to vote on these poisonous, convoluted, questions. I was moved to tears by their passion and they frustration. If you need a little inspiration to vote yourself, or hope to get through these tough few days, please...

As war rages on in Ethiopia, Ethiopia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs announces today that it ordered the closure of its embassy in Asmara, Eritrea. It also expelled ten Eritrean diplomats based in Ethiopia, days after accusing the country of assisting the rebel alliance in its war against the federal government. Largely ceremonial, as diplomatic relations between the two countries have been largely severed since 2023, when Ethiopia began openly threatening to attack its neighbour.

BREAKING: Eritrea has responded to Ethiopia's expulsion of ten diplomats from its embassy by announcing that it is officially severing all ties with Ethiopia, who it accuses of arming elements of the Eritrean opposition. It also denied accusations made by Ethiopia. With this, all the gains made by the groundbreaking peace treaty of 2018 that eventually secured Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed the Nobel Peace Prize a year later, are reversed. Back to square one with all out war brewing on the h...

🇪🇹🇪🇬 Yet another diplomatic expulsion: Ethiopia has declared Ahmed Moharam Ahmed Soliman, an Egyptian diplomat based at the Egyptian Embassy in Addis Ababa, persona non grata. He has 48 hours to leave the country. Ethiopia has repeatedly accused Egypt of supporting the Ethiopian armed rebel alliance currently at war with Ethiopia's army. Regional tensions continue to rise.

Hilarity last night. I've been on well over a dozen or maybe even two dozen Al Jazeera TV segments. So, when I got up to appear on a new show yesterday I thought nothing of it. Another day at the office I thought. Until I found out with minutes to go to air time, that I was actually being prepped for a segment on...wait for it....AJ Arabic. N.B Your boy only knows how to curse in Arabic😬

After the Ethiopian army's push into Tigray and capture of Mekele, Eritrean soldiers have now unsurprisingly intervened on behalf of the Ethiopian rebel alliance. This dangerous new plot twist threatens to exacerbate an already dire situation on the ground. Ethiopia responded by attacking arriving Eritrean units with drones, near the border town of Zalambessa. Reporting by my good friend Yemane Nagish of the BBC. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ckvgd63rj92lo

After Ethiopian soldiers made gains and captured a slew of towns, Eritrean soldiers intervened & are fighting on behalf of the rebel alliance. What possible role could an alliance between Egypt, Eritrea, Sudan & Somalia play?

I've been noticing long-time subscribers switch to the lifetime plan which is fine, but to keep the app growing I need a better balance between subscription and lifetime customers. So to keep Kinopio sustainable I'm thinking of increasing the lifetime plan price from $250 to $300 next month.
