Mike Bloxam 🇨🇦🍉

If the Parti Québécois can be useful for one thing, let it be the end of "Daylight Saving Time" - and hopefully Ontario will follow suit. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #EndDaylightSavingTime #EndDST #SaveStandardTime #StandardTime #DaylightSavingTime #QCpoli #CANpoli #CDNpoli

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

#PermanentStandardTime is what we really need! It's not too late to correct this. "...it’s a mistake ...researchers [are] warning of potential risks to health, the economy and students’ well-being with the darker mornings on the way." www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic... #EndDaylightSavingTime #EndDST

Canada could absolutely do this. Instead, we get Carney and Ford pushing pipelines.

Advance polls are open today in #LdnOnt! As a Trustee candidate I hope to have your support. If you live in wards 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, you can mark your ballot for Bloxam from 10 AM to 8 PM. Link below to advance polling locations: www.bloxam.ca/vote-for-mike/ #LdnOntVotes #TVDSB #SchoolBoard

A nation cannot build a prosperous future on the exhaustion of its people. When workers are beleaguered, productivity falls—not simply because people work less, but because they have less of themselves left to give. It's why more of those who work are coming to food banks. #LdnOnt

I’ve spoken to many reporters who are frustrated that even though they sometimes mention that the extreme events they’re reporting on are due to climate change and make the link to fossil fuels, people get upset when they don’t. The solution is to mention it every time, even if it seems repetitive.

The first #pawpaw of the season was enjoyed in our household tonight! 🥰 It's such an amazing seasonal treat. #NorthAmericanPawpaw #CarolinianCanada #CarolinianForest #CarolinianLifeZone

So everyone gets it now, right?: You get: That the PM is misleading the Canadian people on behalf of wealthy interests and corporations. Not the other way around. That the only game of chess being played here... is against you. #CDNpoli #ONpoli

Nobody disputes that having access to a car in a car-dominated society is good. It gives one access to jobs, healthcare, food, education, social opportunities and more. All we're asking is for people to go one step deeper and ask why access to such basic rights requires buying and operating a car.

There's a certain fix for wildfire smoke. Work towards limited dependence on fossil fuels while investing in renewable energy sources. cbc.ca/news/science/wildfire-climate-emissions-smoke-9.7274862

There is a way of thinking taking hold in this country — that building a stronger Canada means walking away from our climate commitments. Abandoning our climate commitments will not make Canada stronger. You cannot build a stronger country on the ashes of its communities.

Northern Ontario is burning. Today, I’m calling for immediate action: ✅ Declare a provincial state of emergency ✅ Remove barriers between jurisdictions so emergency assistance can be provided quickly ✅ Show up: house every evacuee, resource every fire crew, and rebuild every affected community

Incredibly brazen for the Prime Minister to boast about the “lasting benefits” of expanding fossil fuel production on a day like today. Record-breaking heatwaves. Toxic smoke engulfing cities and towns. Out of control wildfires forcing entire communities to evacuate. /1

Mark Carney's made deep cuts to Natural Resources Canada that strip away science-based expertise on forest fires, "decimating capacity" to track wildfire activity. Only one forest pathologist now monitors the entire forestry system east of the Rockies. 5/ www.nationalobserver.com/2025/12/05/n...

Taiwan recorded 2,811 COVID-19 ER visits last week, up 34% from the week before. 🔹Weekly ER cases are expected to reach 5,000 within 3 weeks. 🔹The wave is expected to peak in 1–2 months, with weekly hospitalisations forecast to stay below 50,000. 🔹Similar surges are being reported across Asia.

My world's on fire. How 'bout yours? 🔥🌎 📷 The Sun obscured in #LdnOnt by wildfire smoke from northern Ontario, today at 14:21 EDT. The air is heavy with the scent of smoke, too. #Wildfires #WildfireSmoke #ClimateCrisis #ClimateEmergency

COP31 electrification push a welcome first step, but insufficient without ending fossil fuels PRESS RELEASE

I love having a prime minister who completely buys into the tech industry’s framing of AI, such that he’s throwing billions of dollars at AI companies and pushing more Canadians into relying on their shitty products. To him, the core issue is “engagement and adoption,” regardless of the drawbacks.

Carney has announced a new AI strategy to ramp up adoption of the tech-bro-touted technology in a way that he says “serves all Canadians.” But BIG questions are lingering about how this aggressive ramp up will play out in a world where data centres guzzle water and destroy the environment:

The thing is, Mark Carney has shown his political opponents how to beat him: just *embrace Carneyism*. The things Carney *says* are incredibly popular. Now we just need to elect someone who'll *do* them. eof/

We can*not* afford this. Austerity is how we lose the country. Austerity - more than any other force - drives working people into the arms of fascists: pluralistic.net/2026/04/12/a... 32/

It's not just that chatbots are *terrible* substitutes for skilled public officials, they're also controlled by US corporations that are entirely beholden to the Trump regime: www.cbc.ca/news/politic... 29/

Unfortunately, Mark Carney didn't get the memo from (checks notes) Mark Carney, and the very instant Trump arranged his face into his trademarked confused scowl, Carney dropped the tax, apologising profusely: www.canada.ca/en/departmen... 12/

"Third Way" liberal politics involves *saying* things that working people love, but *doing* things that sociopathic plutocrats love. It works ...right up until voters notice that you're not *doing* the things. That realisation breeds cynicism and fury and paves the way for fascist strongmen. 2/

Mark Carney's government is extending tax breaks to companies that capture carbon and then use it to produce more oil. Critics warn the plan runs counter to Canada's goal of reducing emissions. Here's what you need to know: thenarwhal.ca/enhanced-oil...
