It would be grand, then, if the Government of Canada would terminate any use of X/Twitter. And don't say, "Oh, we need it to get our messages out," because then you are "caught in a situation where we are reliant on one provider."

Mark Carney on what Elon Musk's throttling of Starlink means for Canada: "We do not want to be caught in a situation where we are reliant on one provider that puts Canadians at risk or compromises our sovereignty, our ability to express our values and live our values."

Last night people on bikes stood up against the destruction of safe infrastructure. Tonight, we will return to bear witness and protest decisions that put the public at risk. They will try to take out the last intact lane markings tonight 1/2

#alberta What's the issue here? I heard last night in the coverage that you aren't represented well - sorry, but it's pretty fair; you want more than your fair share of the pie. Ask yourself why the rest of the country has different ideas than you - (I know its not the majority, but it's a lot)

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

NEW: It’s been three years since the RCMP launched a criminal investigation into Premier Doug Ford’s Greenbelt land swap. A former Ontario attorney general says the Mounties should properly update the public on the status of the probe. www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

The IDF came into my Twitter replies to try & boost their fake report accusing Palestinian journalists they murdered of being Hamas. But when Piers Morgan invited them to debate the so-called evidence with me, they didn't show up so... he empty-chaired them. And then I debunked their 'study':

Liberal MP Sean Casey was demoted by Mark Carney last week after voting in favour of Jenny Kwan’s Bill C-233, the No More Loopholes Act. When will the Liberals stop punishing MPs for doing their job—and finally act to close this loophole?

Israeli attacks on Gaza since 2023 killed at least 73,795 people, wounded more than 174,800. More than 20,000 children killed, 44,000 injured. Thousands of children have lost limbs, while roughly 17,000 have been left unaccompanied or orphaned. The US is directly complicit in this atrocity.

Gaza, 2023 and now... I saw this over on Threads; thought it was fake AI, nope - really didn't appreciate the level of devastation - how this isn't genocide and how Israel is still allowed to be part of the international community is shameful.

I predicted a month ago that Trump was going to say exactly this. I said he was going to try and blame Ukraine for diesel prices and tell Zelenskyy to stop. And here it is. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump: "Zelenskyy has to do one thing -- he has to stop knocking out diesel fuel in Russia. He's causing a shortage of diesel fuel. This isn't done by the Middle East, this is done by what's happening with Russia and Ukraine."

My name is Captain Dylan Blaha. Last year, I made several videos reminding US service members to disobey unlawful orders. The military suspended my security clearance and launched a full investigation. Nearly a year later, I now know the outcome.

We (Canada) should tariff all energy exports to US Republican states at 50%! Maybe we can help mend a divided country by bringing them together, by all hating Trump equally. #Tarriffs #Canada #tradewar

As millions of Americans prepare for another brutal heatwave, it’s now harder to find information about ways to stay cool while saving energy and keeping utility costs down. At least 1,662 Department of Energy webpages with guidance on protecting the electrical grid during heatwaves have gone dark.

We have no money. You know this. Why do you keep asking why we’re not doing things we used to do? It’s because we have no money. We. Have. No. Money. We have no money. There is no money left. It’s all gone. None of us have it. No money. Nope. Money gone. We don’t have it. No.

This is a topic that's frequently top-of-mind, and one that I'm keen to address at the municipal level, though it requires all levels of gov't to solve the risks posed by the phenomenon known as "car bloat". This NY Times investigation is a good primer. 1/ www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Unearthed footage shows Elias Irizarry joining a mob to breach the US Capitol. Now, he’s been rewarded with a top counterterrorism job at the Pentagon. You literally cannot make this up. Apparently, invading a government building is great resume building for national security now. 🙄
