The behaviour of the Israeli government = that of the German government during the years Hitler was in power. The behaviour of the Israeli Jews = that of the German people during the years Hitler was in power. And deep inside these Israeli Jews know. #PalestineHolocaust

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

If you’re thinking that the extremist BC Conservative Party “deserves credit” because they “dropped” a few of their racist and extremist candidates, remember that they knew who they were/are, only dropped them when they were publicized, and ONLY dropped the ones in ridings they couldn’t win anyway.

BC conservatives: 1. "Jews died because there were LOTS in Europe, NOT because he hated them specifically" of Hitler, then reposted (the N word) more than 40x. 2. "Make the West Great Again" image of Trump, Musk and several European far-right leaders. #cdnpoli #BCpoli

The Liberal government is rushing Bill C-39 through Parliament without proper scrutiny. On their special committee, they’ve limited testimonies from dissenting voices to just eight hours. It’s clear that this government doesn’t care what Canadians have to say.

You rejected a citizens' assembly on electoral reform less than a year ago and told Greens to "go out and campaign for it." Now that they are, you're begging them to stop. Fix our distorted voting system instead of asking voters to abandon their values.

David Eby@davidebybc.bsky.social

If you’ve voted Green in the past, I’m asking for your support in this election. In 11 seats last time, the Green vote was the difference between electing a Conservative and electing a New Democrat.

"[the attack] took place around 4am.. while people were asleep.. targeted a residential apartment.. killed a 33yo woman while her daughter was caught in the flames watching her mother burn" Meanwhile the UK media pretends a motion declaring zionism is racism is the problem

Conservatives are seldom about conserving other than the attitude they acquired when they were about 18 - 19 years old. It's remarkable when Facebook became popular and I "reconnected" with people I hadn't seen for 25 years, how the conservative ones then still were just like when they were 18.

Carney talks like an investor , not like a leader who would've put an end to the separatist BS out of Alberta. Would have charged Smith and UCP with treason. We don't see that, instead he is making MOUs with Smith, and allows a referendum that should never been allowed as they're deeply divisive.

Max Fawcett@maxfawcett.bsky.social

The separatists are going to lose today’s vote. But if Alberta’s political class doesn’t stop feeding and inflaming their bottomless sense of grievance and victimhood, we’ll all end up losing in the end. #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/10/19/o...

Watched Digger - a wild & visionary satire about the fossil fuel industry and politics. Great dialogues, often laughing-out-loud funny and disturbingly true. It won't be popular in the US but may well become a classic. Tom Cruise deserves an Oscar for his portrayal of oil company boss Digger.

Just watched "Digger" this afternoon with my son. So the Doomsday Glacier story is all to familiar. Go see it, an excellent and captivating movie. You are slowly taken to end but still don't expect what's to happen when you get there. #GoSeeDigger

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com

Yikes! The “doomsday glacier” is melting faster than scientists expected. NOAA projects another 10 - 12 inches of sea level rise along US coastlines by 2050. Think on what that means… 💦 Miami: Streets & neighborhoods underwater 💦 NYC: Greater flooding risks for homes, businesses, subways

Centrism is for people who cannot make up their minds. Understand climate change, but don't want to give up any of the privileges, big house, big gas guzzling cars, long distance flights, meat every night. They cannot up give up what is bad so there children will have a good future. #KillCentrism

Sonia Théroux@soniatheroux.bsky.social

In asking people not to elect Greens, Eby is hoping to remove the only incentive he has to stop moving to the right. History teaches us centrism opens the door to fascism. The systemic change we desperately need will never come while leaders hold voters hostage under first past the post.

Excellent news! Vancouver has come to its senses! Peter Fry - GREEN PARTY - is Mayor elect Green and progressive sweep of City Council. Take this mandate all the way! Do what the Mayor of Paris did with Paris. Do not hesitate one moment. Leave a lasting legacy for future generations!

Understand political and corporate public relations. When they make comparisons between their favoured project and the bad alternative it will replace, ask yourself: "What is it they don't want me to compare their project or product with?" #DecodingPoliticalTalk

Anton van Walraven@avwraven.bsky.social

IF they don't ignore it, their plans will pale and look unserious in comparison by what the BC Greens are proposing. We see the same trick with LNG. In Canada and BC, political and business proponents always compare it to coal, because they know if you compare it to renewables LNG won't hold up.

The go to strategies are: Confuse, intimidate, blackmail, distract all in an effort to delay change that would effect their projects and their bottom line and power.

Someone who runs as a candidate for the BC Conservatives clearly has a blind spot, which gives insight into their character, and willingness to enter into alliances with very dubious people. #ElectionBC

Een uitstekende Keuringsdienst van Waarde over de hoge prijzen van biologisch voedsel. Te veel om op te schrijven, maar in ieder geval maken de supermarkten misbruik van de wil om duurzaam te eten. Ze houden bewust de prijzen hoog. Met medewerking van de regering met hun BTW en subsidie beleid.

Canada has denounced Palestine for failing to hold elections. How many eligible "voters" are still buried under the rubble isn't known. But the UN reports that Israel kills a child a day. This week this 8-year-old child was murdered by an Israeli drone copter. She deserved better.
