Thinking of moving to Canada? Let me help you decode the wild world of Canadianisms—because trust me, “yeah, no” doesn’t mean what you think it means. In this video, I’ll explain a sentence so Canadian it might as well come with a double-double and a hockey fight. From “chirping” to “skookum,” learn how to talk like a true Canuck without embarrassing yourself at the rink.📰 Get my newsletter — https://farandwide.news🦋 Follow me on Bluesky — https://bsky.app/profile/todmaffin.com☕ Like my stuff?

Littlest Hobo: When Doing Good Is Enough
I grew up with The Littlest Hobo—a show every Canadian over 35 remembers. No big budget, no explosions—just relentless decency. In this video, I explore how this simple show about a dog became a blueprint for Canadian values: humility, kindness, and quiet strength. 📰 Get my newsletter — https://farandwide.news🦋 Follow me on Bluesky — https://bsky.app/profile/todmaffin.com☕ Like my stuff?

When Compassion Libertates
Donald Trump keeps calling Canada’s military weak. I’m here to set the record straight—with the story of how Canadian troops liberated the Netherlands in WWII, and earned a nation’s eternal gratitude. From Princess Margriet’s birth on Canadian soil to the tulips blooming in Ottawa, this isn’t just history—it’s proof that strength isn’t measured by volume, but by values. 📰 Get my newsletter — https://farandwide.news🦋 Follow me on Bluesky — https://bsky.app/profile/todmaffin.com☕ Like my stuff?

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?
