“We understand that you are scared because the future is so uncertain right now,” said Cedar Iahtail from the Assembly of Seven Generations. “But pushing unethical bills forward without proper due diligence is not the answer. Uncertainty breeds fear, and fear breeds hatred. Hatred breeds fascism.”

Here’s Chief Na’Moks of the Wet’suwet’en Nation: “To Prime Minister Carney and the politicians studying Bill C-39, I have a message for you: our rights are not yours to bargain away.”

“Katie Johnson, who gave FBI a detailed account of her repeated rape at the hands of Trump and Epstein in 1994 in New York City when she was a minor.”

"The 50-page report [...] contains testimony from 11 women who either accuse Trump of rape or sexual assault or say that they had been offered to Trump for sex by Epstein or Ghislaine." "Five women said that Trump raped or assaulted them while Epstein was present." #USA #Trafficking #SexualViolence

In January, ActiveHistory.ca launched a special series examining the Indian Act and it history. I wrote a short piece, as an introduction, that lays out some of the basics and included a selected reference list: activehistory.ca/blog/2026/01...

Beatrice Keul, testified that she was introduced by Jeffrey Epstein to Donald J Trump, who then brutally raped her in a hotel room in Atlantic City, NJ, and her claims were deemed credible by a panel of the House Judiciary Committee today. The NYT has decided that this is not reportable news.

Staggering levels of racism combined with stunning levels of stupidity 👇🏾

Anthropic posted an $80-billion loss in the first half of '26. EverWind Fuels - the company planning the $10-bn AI Data Centre in NS - is in a dispute over the money it owes to NL. We can't trust these 🇺🇸 entities! November 7th protest in Port Hawkesbury! What sign will you carry?

@mark-carney.bsky.social Instead of austerity budgets and cutting services, impose a wealth tax. Government is not a business.

At least $50 billion for another pipeline. $82 billion in new military spending in 5 years. $300 billion in corporate welfare and mega incentives at an investment summit. But the cupboard is bare for Parks Canada.

Lisa Blackburn on NS AI data centre: “A $10 billion investment deserves more than a photo op & a headline about jobs. It demands public scrutiny, independent reporting, & straight answers about the costs. If this project is as good for N.S. as we’re being told, transparency shouldn't be a problem.”

@mark-carney.bsky.social, @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social Every day Canada does not sanction Israel, we are complicit in this genocide. Every day Canada indirectly supplies arms, we are active participants.

The safety of vaccines.

It is very distressing to learn that the BC government is cutting support for essential virtual services for long COVID. For the more than 300,000 British Colombians this is a poorly considered and devastating set back. More funding, not less is needed for long COVID care! @covidsociety.ca

So, I got this DM from an evangelical Christian. I’m going to share my answer in a thread because I actually get this question fairly regularly and I think it’s worth discussing. 🧵

If you have to legislate faith through political force, or compel people with guilt, shame, or fear—are you not admitting that Christ and his Gospel are not compelling enough on their own? The drive for dominance turned the Great Commission into colonialism and God’s kingdom into a human empire.

So this is Build Canada Strong? Yet another sign that Canada is being hollowed out from within

Alberta is restricting when the Treaty 6 and Métis Nation flags are flown at schools to the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Pride flags will NEVER be allowed to fly. But you can fly the Vatican City flag. www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

Avi Lewis: "The right has not been afraid of rage. And what they've done is redirected it to immigrants, to trans kids, to people living on the street. Instead of directing that rage upward to the people who are amassing vast fortunes on our economic misery."

A timely reminder I got my flu shot today globalnews.ca/news/1211883...

‼️ Yet another study deflates supplement hype...👇 Millions take fish oil for brain health. A two-year study found no benefit www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202... "...even when high doses of omega-3s successfully reached the brain, they did not produce measurable improvements..."

/2 Premier Houston and his band of anti-environment and anti-climate rogues have made it even worse. In Nova Scotia; we’re now doing “One project, NO review.” And there will be no environmental assessment at all for the hyperscale data centre EverWind is proposing to build in the province.

First, NS Premier Tim Houston signed a “one project, one review” agreement with Ottawa, claiming provincial environmental assessments were “world class,” so federal impact assessments were not needed. Which is garbage and a giant leap backwards. And now … www.halifaxexaminer.ca/dismantling-...

#Gaza: "...critical shortage of lubricating oil risks breaking down remaining power generators & cutting off electricity to life-saving hospital departments. ...hospitals require more than 2500 liters of lubricating oil each month..." english.palinfo.com/news/2026/10... #GazaNews #Israel #Zionism

Highly recommend you read this survey report. Majority of Canadians want Canada to be a GREEN “energy superpower”! @mark-carney.bsky.social are you listening?!?!

When we do not understand an abuser's capacity for deceit, we make it easy for the offender to continue in deception and, sadly, often call it “grace.” If it lacks truth, then it is not grace.

A united Canada must mean more than just rejecting separation. It must mean actually standing up for all of us — building a movement across our differences to make this a country where everyone can live a life of dignity, equality and belonging.

Albertans deserve real solutions to the crises they face, not scapegoating that divides us and fuels prejudice. Right now, all Canadians have an opportunity to reject this and say: we stand with migrants facing the brunt of this cynical, negative politics.

Navi Pillay on #C4News: "The Genocide convention, which was passed in 1948, places a peremptory obligation on every state.. they are obliged to take action to prevent genocide wherever it is occurring or is about to happen.. its time now that they carry out these obligations"

Absolutely heartbreaking to see so many Albertans embrace lies and cruel nonsense about immigrants. 💔

Poverty is a policy decision. Concentrated wealth is a policy decision. Inequality is a policy decision. Economic inequality is not some naturally occurring phenomenon. It is the consequence of choices. One question I always urge my students to ask: who is the market organized for — and why?

Alberta goes to the polls today, to decide whether the province should separate from Canada. The fact that it's even happening is nothing less than psychological warfare, waged by damn liars. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

What ‘procedures’ weren’t followed at EverWind’s data centre announcement?: The ejected reporters respond to MPs Blois and Kelloway by Joan Baxter @joanbaxter.bsky.social and Jennifer Henderson @dartjenhen.bsky.social

"And Nova Scotian politicians have a long history of believing them, feting them, rolling out the red carpet and handing out tax breaks and subsidies, and more recently, also rolling back regulations (they like to diss these as “red tape”) meant to protect the environment."

Data centres that can drive up power bills and risk our environment are not what Nova Scotians asked for. We're calling on Premier Tim Houston to convene an emergency session of the Legislature immediately.

You folks asked for it, so here it is... How to switch to Canadian companies: The HOUSEHOLD edition! 🙂

This is NOT normal. I cannot think of anything like it in the 40 years I reported. (Including 30 covering NS politics). No Nova Scotia should be ok with this.
