Carney and Smith will be thrilled.

Look, I'll take it. But I don't get why Carney and Kamala partisans are cheering on Lula Bolsonaro is objectively closer to your ideological worldview

I know the contexts are different, but Eby-ism failed, while Lula stormed to a comeback win tonight Lessons for the NDP going forward. In my humble view, Avi Lewis' vision for the party is far more Lula than Eby. That's a good thing.

One important factor in the BC Election was that the Conservatives did NOT win because voters surged towards them There was no BC CON wave. They got a very similar amount of voters as they did last time They won because Dave Eby failed to turn out the people who voted for him last election

Today broke grey and raw for New Democrats here in BC: last night was a body blow. This morning I’m sending solidarity and care to all the progressive organizers - within and beyond electoral politics - who have worked tirelessly over so many years in this province.

Under the CPBC, I expect BC will follow AB, QC, ON by aggressively privatizing surgeries, diagnostics, long-term care CPBC platform calls for publicly funded vouchers for surgeries and long-term care. This will expand the private for-profit health care industry #bcpoli

Two of the biggest fuckups in Canadian political history all in the last few weeks First the CAQ gets wiped out after breaking an electoral reform promise that would have saved their party Then Dave Eby called an unnecessary election that pissed off an entire province instantly

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

A real pleasure to join Thomas Lukaszuk in celebrating my dear friend and mentor, Doug Roche at the launch of his latest book - Values | Chaos: Discovering Mark Carney and Canada’s Role in a Ruptured World. You can purchase a copy of Doug’s thoughtful reflections on Mark Carney at Audreys Books.

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.

Liberals and Conservatives are rushing to pass Bill C-39 with little time to hear from Canadians and pass amendments. The bill gives cabinet ministers the power to declare entire regions of the country in which major projects can ignore virtually every environmental protection.

The right knows how to channel the legitimate rage of working class people. The problem is where they direct that rage. It’s not immigrants and trans kids making your life impossible. It’s the bankers and the billionaires with all the wealth and power. It’s time to put the blame where it belongs.

Bill C-39 puts foreign investors’ profits ahead of workers’ rights, environmental protections and Indigenous rights. Canada’s top scientists warn it will cause irreversible harm. So why are the Liberals limiting scrutiny instead of giving this bill the thorough review it demands?

Why is this government allowing Israeli companies blacklisted for genocide to acquire Canadian companies - contrary to our own laws and policies? The government's response is what exactly?

Canadians can’t afford rent. Food bank use is at a record high. Wages are stagnant while the rich are getting richer than ever before. Of all the people who could use this kind of federal support right now, venture capitalists are at the bottom of that list. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

As hundreds of Stelco workers face layoffs, the Canadian gov’t must do more to protect Canadian jobs & our steel industry. Workers need action, not just headlines. Enforce commitments, put conditions on public money, and protect good jobs. Public money must protect workers, not corporate profits.

EA done got Avi Lewis mad.

1/ TORONTO: There are still a few tickets left to see Avi discuss the future of the NDP at TMU! When: 12 PM (EST) Thursday October 22 Where: TMU Get your ticket here: www.eventbrite.ca/e/ndp-leader...

OUCH. Bloc Québécois MP @patbonin.bsky.social absolutely clears the environment minister in this clip on Bill C-39. My translation: “It’s sad to see the minister who is giving the impression of wanting to convince herself that the bill that’s directly under her purview isn’t a disaster.

I'll say this: Nenshi should recognize that many of the people he represents in the Alberta Legislature overlap with NDP MP Heather McPherson's riding He should respect them, and not call them irrelevant

two conservatives flirting on camera

Gamer-Canadians finally have a voice

As an entirely serious comment, the NDP speaks to the issues the other major parties will not

This is private equity, this is what it does. Buy up businesses, run them into the ground, and rip them apart for short-term profit. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

Tommy Douglas knew then what New Democrats still know today. If we could mobilize the resources of this country to defeat Nazi tyranny, there is no reason we cannot do the same to make sure that each and every person has what they need to live a dignified life. Happy Birthday, Tommy.

Avi Lewis on 25% voting for a separation referendum: "If you had a referendum on whether people wanted to send a message to Ottawa that they're not happy with a very difficult life in Canada these days, you'd get at least that number or more in every single province. It's understandable."

Avi Lewis on C-39: "It's unnecessary, it's damaging, it attacks the rights of so many Canadians. I don't want to believe that the PM launched Bill C-39 just to achieve political peace with Danielle Smith. But if that was his motivation, then, oh, my goodness."

Avi Lewis: "The entire process was unnecessary. Nobody asked for it. Danielle Smith's career has been defined by a slow walk towards separation. All of the questions are designed to stoke division in Alberta, and she is the one who is responsible for that."

Conservatives and Liberals are working together to ram Bill C-39 through Parliament. They don’t want to hear from Canadians, and they are afraid to have their legislation scrutinized. New Democrats are standing up for Canadians whose voices are being ignored.

It should be illegal for Israel’s top arms producer to purchase a Canadian company. Elbit Systems is complicit in the genocide of Palestinians. Cancel the Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement, enact sanctions and a two-way arms embargo now. www.calcalistech.com/ctechnews/ar...

At a time when our country is under threat, it’s heartening to see well over a million Albertans come together to reject separation and choose Canada.

Things ebb and flow through history. There was a time when eastern Canada heavily subsidized the west, when the Maritimes were more developed. Now with some resources the west is richer But there's no guarantee Alberta will be a 'have' province in the future.

I’m levitating today in the warm afterglow of a left-wing surge in my home city of Vancouver! Democratic socialists and progressives united to take on the power of big money and the politics of fear and division. dailyhive.com/vancouver/va...

There is so much bait-and-switch in Canada’s “digital sovereignty“ (heh) strategy. Bottom line is that building out massive polluting AI data centres to host US tech companies is a form of digital colonialism: they control the tech & the profits, and export the dirtiest, lowest-value part abroad.

The third largest city in Canada just rejected the cryptocurrency clown and his billionaire pro cop council and swung hard left. You're looking at a mix of communists, socialists, soc dems, progressives, and a liberal or two here

Our thoughts tonight are with the Canadian Forces members at CFB Wainwright, their families, and everyone else affected by this terrible incident. Thank you to the first responders who are on the scene working hard to save lives and provide support at this tragic time.

Yes, this is very true. Centralization of executive power? ✅ Curtailing labour rights? ✅ Deregulation of energy? ✅ Elimination of environmental reviews? ✅ Congratulations LPC supporters you basically enacted project 2025 #cdnpoli

A great article explaining why Carney's Bill C-39 is dangerous and deceptive. www.thestar.com/politics/pol...

Carney and Ford both talk elbows up But they always put them down www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The people in France aren't just fighting their own right-wing government They're standing up for working-class people in other nations under attack This includes a resistance to Trump, Carney, and other right-wing leaders taking away fundamental human rights.

When you think about it, there's some overlap between Project 2025 and Carney's Bill C-39 MAGA Mark is at it again

Bill C-39 only divides people now by taking away workers rights, indigenous rights & environmental regulations. This is not what we need now at a time when we want a united Canada. We need to protect everyone!! 🇨🇦 No to Bill C-39!

The right to strike gives workers power to stand up to big corporations and demand better wages. The federal government shouldn’t take that power away. share.canadianlabour.ca/s/wOrZHpaX

Canadians are uniting to oppose Carney's MAGA-style attacks on workers www.hilltimes.com/2026/10/15/r...
