my vet was taken over by a private equity group, cost of procedures now 3-4x higher. It's so successful for the vultures, they are now buying up opticians, care homes, & every type of health service. Public is in for a rude awakening of who our Govts serve #cdnpoli #onpoli

EU spy agencies track everything Russian, which will pick up dealings by the #trump inner circle. Now that Trump is an openly hostile actor towards the EU, I'm predicting the 2026 #octobersurprise will a flood of leaks to US media. #uspoli #cdnpoli #trumpcrimefamily #kushner

pay attention to how traditional media applies the label "moderate" and "centrist" to policies & politicians backing a status quo that is literally making the Earth uninhabitable & killer AI. Challenging extinction is "radical" #cbc #cdnpoli #uspoli #climatechange

Omitted from the #Carney govt endorsement of the new pipeline, we have to pay the oil companies to use the one tax $ just built. What a F-ing clown show. #cdnpoli #climatechange

notice how govts that have lead us to an unaffordability crisis, unregulated social media & AI, and a soon to be unliveable biosphere, are firmly branded as "mainstream". they have us in a death spiral #cdnoi

UK's new PM on the 40 yrs of privatization since Thatcher “We built the common good,” he said, but “the common wealth … created for the many was seen as an opportunity for the few.” That's what #carney is turbocharging in Canada #cdnpoli

to deal with over crowded prisons, UK is freeing prison population after 30% of their time, including domestic abusers. Decriminalize cannabis? That's unthinkable but abuse of women is not. #ukpoli

the #carney regimes benefits of another tar sands #pipeline sites xxB by 2060. By 2060 climate change impacts may have your remaining children hunting and gathering for their next meal. It's just such an evil load of sh*t as they benefit from our collapse #cdnpoli

in the UK, Tony Blair (Labour) continued Thatchers neoliberal policies of privatization. Their societal decline is stark and the far right has exploited this. I lived there, frequently return, and i'm shocked at the state of it. This is Canada's future under #carney. #cdnpoli

Canada’s far right populism is milder because the billionaire class was focused on larger prizes. Now #carney put up the 4sale sign & his conservative policies will make affordability & the climate worse, setting the stage for version of Trump #cdnpoli thewalrusca.substack.com/p/canadas-mo...

thewalrusca.substack.comCanada’s Most Popular Conservative Is Mark CarneyHis economic agenda has scrambled the political map. The question is how long it can last

In Spain (like here) private equity is buying up apartments. They used police to evict a 87yr old disabled woman who had lived there for 70yrs but could not pay their 230% rent increase. Tens of thousands protested. Happens here, but we shrug & go back to our double-double. #cdnpoli

#CBC asks the #Carney govt about trading with Vietnam when they don't share our "values"... like ending the right to strike, accelerating climate change, supporting genocide, treatment of 1st Nations, etc and so on... #cdnpoli

perhaps #ai will end wars? a well funded govt can use AI & gene editing tools to create a human species ending bio weapon. If their civilization is threatened, they end everyone's. #iran #cdnpoli #uspoli

from ape times we lived in communal societies, until industrial revolution's need for worker-bots that new myths were created, the "self made man", to divide and conquer us. You're unhappy and insecure by design. It doesn't have to be this way. #cdnpoli #uspoli #socialism #leftist #antifa

As the Star is paywalled, her final statement sums it up perfectly “This isn't really about standing up to Trump. Carney is taking advantage of the fear and loathing Canadians feel toward Trump to justify remaking the country in a way that primarily benefits business interests, not the rest of us.”

Linda McQuaig@lindamcquaig.bsky.social

This has nothing to do with standing up to Trump. Carney is exploiting our loathing of Trump to remake Canada in interests of corporate elite. #cdnpoli www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

before the AI, hacking of #HuggingFace the agents reminded each other that what ever they said was logged, so they developed a coded language researchers still can't understand. Write your elected representative and tell them to STOP #AI development until safeguards are in place #cdnpoli

David Suzuki: “We need to declare an emergency that changes everything” “We’re on a path to extinction. When there’s an emergency, like a war, economics are set aside. That’s how we need to treat this: by using every technique available to win this war.”

our govt knows all the details of the impending climate catastrophe, releases the details exactly timed to ensure they are ignored, and enacts plans for the 1% to benefit from the collapse rather than stop it. This is our democracy now. #cdnpoli #climatechange

Climate Justice Victoria@climatejusticeyyj.bsky.social

Media Release: "Given that Prime Minister Carney’s government has dismantled much of Canada’s climate progress, it is of little surprise that the government tried to bury its own report by quietly releasing it right before a long weekend." @environmentaldefence.ca #cdnpoli

automaker execs focused on their bonuses: high profit luxury cars & China expansion (they were just training the Chinese & building the supply chains). Now #VW is cutting 100,000 workers, far right wing gaining support & calls for bailouts. Unregulated capitalism is the problem #cdnpoli #usapoli

tipping point coming for #USA democracy, #ICE is buying Boston Dynamics robot dogs. Videos of robots being used against Americans will either horrify the public to the point big tech is curtailed, or, it's normalized & robots will crush political dissent in future. #usapoli #cdnpoli #fascism #AI

We keep subsidizing the auto industry for their “good jobs” while that same industry is rapidly automating to get rid humans. I know of a similar project underway in the Oshawa area. #cdnpoli #ontpoli

more evidence our "representative democracy " is referring to corporate capitalists. No sane leader representing us would spend more on the #F35 but here we are. #Carney recently paid for more F35 parts. #cdnpoli We need an arctic gulag

This post is unavailable.

i'm glad #nafta is dead. #carney called for "fortress NA" and still bought more F35s. His nationalism was gaslighting. But Trumps clown show snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Act 2 is neocon banker-daddy PM will invite global capitalists to pillage Canada #cdnpoli #cusma

And you definitely don't want to use a high-powered 532nm green laser, because it can permanently burn and disable digital camera CMOS or CCD sensors. Green light is absorbed at a very high efficiency by these electronic sensors, meaning concentrated beams easily melt or overload the pixel array.

newish car owners, in the car system settings and on the mobile app turn off tracking & set privacy to max. The car companies sell your driving & location data to brokers which can impact how much you pay for things. #privacy #ai #digitalsoverienty #audi #honda #toyota #ford #gm

And don’t have an insurance company app on your phone. In a meeting with one of their innovation teams, they told me their app listens while driving: music, how loud it is, conversation, etc all to detail profile you.

our dominant cashless payment system is now US owned, a massive national security risk. Meanwhile in Brazil, the govt creates PIC their own for digital sovereignty & stops the rip off from financial institutions #cdnpoli #moneris

since 2020, PIX enables free, real-time transfers 24/7/365, allowing users to send money using identifiers like phone numbers, email addresses, or QR codes. Pix has over 175 million users (80% of the population) and processing 57 billion transactions in 2024.

i assumed that the rich & powerful would eventually address climate change so as not to damn their own children, but #carney has proven me wrong. They're trying to manage the collapse, ensuring their kids are on top & safe (but yours are not). #cdnpoli #climatechange #wildfires

Trump exec orders are reorienting the state anti terror apparatus from jihadist groups to domestic “left” & “communists”. Canada attended their conference on this for their international security partners. Any word from the #carney govt? Are we helping this? #cdnpoli #ndp

the feds are accepting public input on the #westcoastpipeline . if you have children or care about a liveable planet, respond. they're ignoring evidence so tell them you'll quit the #lpc & vote them out of power #bc #climatechange #cdnpoli #climatechange #ndp WCOPComment-CommentaireOCO@mpo-bgp.gc.ca

so #Trump regime has dropped an oil drilling rig in #Greenland without permission. If he decides to secure our essential potash supplies what will #Carney do? suck harder? buy more f35? call it fortress NA? we need Carney to have a minority govt to keep our sovereignty cdnpoli

applying for a job at a big company? they now can use AI to predict the lowest salary you will except based upon the wealth of info the data brokers have on you. The same #AI the public is subsidizing, using up drinking water, causing pollution, and increasing hydro costs #cdnpoli #datacenters

related AI examples are Uber, which continually lowers what it pays individual drivers to find your bottom price, and contract nurses who's price offered per shift is based upon desparation analysis of financial and purchase history. isn't capitalism fun?

Canada’s biggest threat is climate change, but the status quo privilege & power is dragging out the ´rooski’ red menace to distract us & divert $ to arms manufacturers. Wake the F up and vote next time like your children’s lives depend on it. Or teach them hunting, gathering & survival #cdnpoli
