Don't vote for leaders who exhibit Adult Oppositional Defiant Disorder: Angry, irritable Aggressive (i.e. road rage) Contempt for authority Feels restrained Vengeful, hostile Thinks rules are unfair Needs to win arguments Feels like a rebel Vindictive Won't take criticism Always blames others

Canada hasn't allowed corporate donations to political parties for years. Personal donations are limited to $1,750 a year to each political party. Candidates can only spend up to $115,000 in a campaign. 3rd parties are limited to $150K during an election. thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/p...

Fancy that. People seem to like it when their leaders show compassion, solve problems, and act with integrity. www.ctvnews.ca/winnipeg/art...

"It's too important to give away to private profit, especially a foreign coal company. That's where hope lies: not in pretending these fights are easy but in recognizing that ordinary people, when they pay attention, speak up, organize & refuse to back down can still shape the future of this place"

Canada's fossil fuels aren't clean, although oil shills lie to us that it is. Peer reviewed research: 46 countries produce oil with a lower per barrel carbon footprint than Canada. Only 3 are worse. We're 47th cleanest out of the top 50 producers. 2/ www.researchgate.net/publication/...

"Six in 10 Albertans don’t want taxpayer money to support a new oil pipeline, and two-thirds say their province’s economy is too dependent on oil and gas, according to new polling released this morning by the Pembina Institute." www.theenergymix.com/breaking-61-... @theenergymix.com #ABLeg #CDNPoli

"I do not think the goal of the Trump administration is for the US to win a war. The goal is for corrupt elites to profit from the wreckage of multiple countries." - @sarahkendzior.bsky.social in her new Q&A. (Think Jared & Witkoff, Vance & Thiel, any Trump...) @votersoftomorrow.org @votevets.org

The Epstein files are not going away, but Trump will continue this rampage to keep the masses distracted from his egregious sins. It’s not a coincidence he ramped up this war the very day the NYT dropped a truth bomb. He is just gonna keep war crime-ing.

CANADA COMES TO THE RESCUE OF SOMALIAN REFEREE OMAR ARTAN! 🇨🇦🇸🇴 David Eby, Premier of British Columbia, has announced that his province would welcome Omar Artan. He stated that Artan should be allowed to referee World Cup matches within his jurisdiction, specifically in the host city of Vancouver.

Alberta's UCP manufactures one crisis after another, wasting BILLIONS w/ nothing but rage to show for it. We forget that the sole purpose of government is to take care of people, now & into the future. A successful government is a boring one, delivering services seamlessly. They fail on every count.

Carbon Capture and Storage is NOT a credible climate solution. It's a really expensive way to make big oil look a lot cleaner than it is to dishonestly manufacture support for expanding instead of reducing fossil fuel dependency. @mark-carney.bsky.social is gaslighting the country about it. 🧵1/

The 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup was supposed to be the first-ever World Cup with a human rights framework. Instead, the US administration’s brutal immigration crackdown, discriminatory policies, and threats to press freedom mean the tournament risks being defined by exclusion and fear.

“Poilievre did same thing as Danielle Smith: They’re arsonists who created the fire of separation and now they’re trying to convince us they’re the ones arriving to put it out. Nothing could be further from the truth! This speech was just adding more fuel to the fire!”🔥 🇨🇦 youtu.be/FnXGGS51tvw?si…

“Daniel Smith is engaging with Albertans every single day on their grievances.” I think teachers, healthcare workers, municipal leaders, universities, people waiting in Emergency, & the people who signed the #ForeverCanadian petition would disagree. She listened to none of them. #ABpoli #CDNpoli

Mr. Andrew Coyne is unimpressed with politicians – of many stripes, but in this case specifically the various conservative leaders – using unity to push their personal, partisan political agendas. We're also unimpressed. #ableg #cdnpoli #ForeverCanadian #UnitedForCanada

My feelings toward the USA is like the stages of grief, starting with shock and disbelief and ending with revulsion and disgust.

My new book, The Common Good Economy, asks a simple question: what is the economy for, and how should people relate to one another inside it? Read the @newstatesman1913.bsky.social profile by Oli Dugmore ➡️ www.newstatesman.com/ns-interview... Order the book ➡️ marianamazzucato.com/books/the-co...

Canada thrived before NAFTA. We will thrive post CUSMA.

Has the federal government made any comment about this? Is the grand bargain conditional on just any old thing being built by Pathways, or an actual functioning one as originally proposed?

Whoa! Optimized Solar-plus-storage systems can now provide 24/7 electricity at lower costs than fossil energy. Is this the end of intermittent solar power? www.irena.org/-/media/File...

With Stephen Guilbeault's departure from the LPC, cult-of-Carney supporters have chosen a climate narrative to gaslight us with: "You don't get it: we need to make the money to transition away from oil before we can start to do it. This is a vital first step!" Here's why that's total bullshit. 🧵1/

Forget about the green premium for renewables. Thanks to the falling cost of batteries we have officially turned the corner and there is now a GREY premium for using fossil fuels for nearly all end uses of energy. This article tells the story about space heating with three new charts.

The bike ride and “die-in” in memory of fallen Complete Streets Planner Riley O’Neil was a life-affirming event. "No more people should die in the streets because their lives are not valued as much as driver convenience," said one organizer. @bikegridnow.org @chicritmass.bsky.social
