Young people are taking the feds to court, arguing Canada’s climate law fails to protect their Charter rights. Ottawa says its control over climate change is limited. The trial could reshape climate accountability. @stefanlabbe.bsky.social's first for The Narwhal: thenarwhal.ca/canada-youth...

This owl was getting banded and tagged by the Rocky Point Bird Observatory. For the owl’s safety, he/she was wrapped up. These photos…🤣🦉. So cute.

This is what the Rocky Point Bird Observatory added to their post of these photos and it makes the photos even funnier, 🤣.

It's been a bad week for the MAGASTAN embassy in Ottawa. Their efforts to break apart our nation in the referendum went down in flames. So now lying Pete Hoekstra is setting the stage to target us when MAGA gets trashed in the mid-terms. ~Charlie Angus 🇨🇦

Albertans should be furious about this. Danielle Smith: 1) Lowered the threshold for signatures on a petition 2) Extended the duration in which they could be collected 3) Continues to pretend the people who signed the Forever Canada petition wanted a referendum Shameless.

It's 2038. The first production Roadster to appear in Calgary crashed through my roof last night. The driver, a mid-level oil exec who despite the optics bought it "for the lols," passed out drunk while heading home from a fracking conference afterparty in GrokDrive mode.

An individual in Canada used ChatGPT for eight months to plan one of the country’s worst mass shootings. Yet, if you listen to politicians and media, the real threat of AI is a fantastical scenario where it might wipe out humans in ten years. They need to stop getting fooled by tech deceivers.

disconnect.blogThe media has the AI threat all wrongGenerative AI is harming people today. We don’t need to waste time fantasizing about science fictional scenarios.

Not a good look: arresting seniors calling on Mark Carney to not walk back our climate obligations. In my last 2 years as MP I ran a gauntlet of threat, swarming and harassment everyday from conspiracy ragers. House security and Ottawa police just watched. Seems instructions have been issued.

Funny, because the Truckers got three weeks to hang out before police lifted a finger. Interesting.

Seniors who were protesting Mark Carney’s Bill c39 and fast tracking of environmental reviews arrested and charged with trespassing on Parliament Hill.

Yeah given everything else you've done to help the 1% (including the U.S. 1%), remove democratic accountability, and put the rest of us at risk from impacts this should concern people. For instance: the privatization of airports (it IS privatization): canadiandimension.com/articles/vie... And this

A reporter asked the government about the Trumpian tactic of flooding the zone with this bill (it’s an omnibus!) and the ministers appear outraged. They balk at a question that…accurately characterizes what they’re doing. If you don’t like it, don’t do it!

The new federal legislation tabled today is a direct attack on Canadians’ Charter rights and freedoms, and we are calling on the federal government to halt the legislation in its tracks.

Canada is a laboratory for Carney's double down on his neoliberal experiment. I hope Canadians are ready for a 407 of everything.

Canada is for sale to .... BlackRock, Saudi Arabia, .. Brookfield? Carney's colors shine through. As @sarahkendzior.bsky.social has said for years, the goal of our current oligarchy is to dismantle a country and sell it for parts.

Fascism was first called corporatism, the merger of corporations and the state. How much power over governance will these "investors" demand in exchange for buying parts of Canada? Fascism is not a destination, it's a spectrum, and we are on it.

In an incredible move, Saddle Lake Cree Nation in Alberta, Canada has announced a gender-affirming care clinic for trans youth, asserting tribal sovereignty and defying the region's ban. It is one of the biggest cross-movement solidarity moments in Canada. Subscribe to support our journalism.

In a similar vein, I’m freaked out at how little outrage the Moneris sale is generating. Canadians get all nationalist about a map name change (right so) but not about all our financial transaction data being sold off to American tech firms?

Ontarians are more mad about “Lake America” nonsense…which isn’t a thing here, our maps haven’t changed yet, and will go back when he’s gone…but things like this that affect us, our money, our kids, it will barely blip.

Mr Ambassador when doing media about 911 don’t chastise Canadians when 24 🇨🇦 died on that day, we took in 7,000 stranded Americans in Gander, 40,000 of our military served in your war in Afghanistan where 158 died as well as a diplomat, journalist and 2 aid workers. Shame on you.
