  • Clause for Concern
    The Notwithstanding Clause was Canada's constitutional compromise: intended as a rare exception, it's becoming dangerously routine. Pierre Poilievre's promise to invoke it raises troubling questions. Can fundamental rights be genuinely protected if politicians hold a permanent veto? 📰 Get my newsletter — https://farandwide.news🦋 Follow me on Bluesky — https://bsky.app/profile/todmaffin.com☕ Like my stuff?

  • The Left Keeps Losing. And I Know Why.
    I’m tired of pretending strategic voting is normal. In this video, I break down how vote splitting under first-past-the-post keeps wrecking elections—especially in Canada—and why picking the “lesser evil” candidate isn’t democracy. I explain how ranked choice voting, approval voting, and other reforms can stop this madness and finally let us vote for what we believe in without handing power to the party we hate.📰 Get my newsletter — https://farandwide.news🦋 Follow me on Bluesky — https://bsky.app/profile/todmaffin.com☕ Like my stuff?

  • News is Not Neutral. And That's Okay.
    Journalists have opinions and leanings. Bias is not betrayal. Pretending otherwise only fuels polarization. And makes you look dumb.

  • When Democracy Drowns in Decibels
    Sometimes, silence changes everything. This video explores two Canadian protests that used quiet, not chaos, to challenge power. From a lone Senate page with a stop sign to a Cree politician who said "No" with an eagle feather, we examine how stillness can shake institutions—and what Americans might learn from it.📰 Get my newsletter — https://farandwide.news🦋 Follow me on Bluesky — https://bsky.app/profile/todmaffin.com☕ Like my stuff?

  • Vimy Ridge: Where a Nation Was Revealed
    108 years ago, Canadian soldiers climbed a fortified ridge in France and changed the course of a nation. They weren’t trained warriors — they were farmhands, miners, teenagers. At Vimy Ridge, they faced machine guns, barbed wire, and impossible odds. What happened next forged Canada's identity in blood and fire. 📰 Get my newsletter — https://farandwide.news🦋 Follow me on Bluesky — https://bsky.app/profile/todmaffin.com☕ Like my stuff?
