B.C.'s new premier wants to talk to Ottawa about opening $10-a-day child care to private facilities. Before that conversation: what happens to quality, wages and fees when public money flows to for-profit care? Parents deserve those answers first.

1/ Three weeks ago Lula trailed by 2.2 million votes. Yesterday he won Brazil's presidency, the first runoff comeback in its history. Part of why: 10 million everyday supporters on one WhatsApp channel, each handed a job to do. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Bolsonaro had corrupt media on his side, Meta interference on his side, US propaganda operations, and his party's officials actively sabotaging public transport in Lula strongholds to prevent turnout. Yet he was still beaten by the power of voter turnout.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Watching the rest of the world wake up and fight for a better future while Canada keeps electing the conservatives who work for the four price-fixing families who own everything in this country is a bittersweet thing 😐

It would be wonderful if people adopted this kind of long-term framing to evaluate all governments' climate and energy policies.

Lula’s win is the first good news for the planet in a while! I bet it shaves a tenth of a degree off how hot our earth eventually gets, which will save millions of lives Thank you Brazil!

🇨🇦 CBC reports Alberta narrowly approved 5 immigration-related referendum questions while rejecting all 4 constitutional proposals. Some measures could restrict temporary residents' access to services. Are newcomers being blamed for infrastructure and funding problems?

Let's be super clear: this is not only an obvious lie, but an outright Trump-level lie. While not technically changing Canada's environmental standards on paper, multiple pieces of Carney legislation allow cabinet ministers to simply declare at will that those standards don't apply to new projects.

If Brads Fords wins then Toronto will have ignorant, ableist, corrupt, gutless, power hungry, pompous on steroids, hate mongering, staged stages galore, attacking marginalized & vulnerable x 2. A Ford & Bradford tandem ad nauseam. Absolute living hell, except those invited to the Riches playground.

"He actually has no principles" Nick Kouvalis (political strategist) on how Brad Bradford is a right-wing fringe Pierre Polievre figure www.facebook.com/watch/?v=474...

facebook.com34K views · 521 reactions | Brad Bradford can’t be trusted. Even senior conservative strategists say there are no lines Brad won’t cross. With just 4 days left until election day on October 26, it is becoming increasingly clear that Brad is running to be mayor for himself, not you. He has no principles, flips-flops on issues to chase votes, and even conservatives don’t trust him. If people who know him can’t trust him, why should you? We can’t count on Brad to lead Toronto. Olivia Chow (ballot #9) is moving our city forward. She has been delivering for renters, transit riders, and every neighbourhood in Toronto. And most of all, you know where she stands. We deserve a mayor who wants to be mayor because they care about Toronto, not because they want power. 4 days left. Let’s keep our city moving forward with Olivia Chow (ballot #9) and stop Brad from dragging our city backwards: link in bio or progresstoronto.ca/stop-brad | Progress TorontoBrad Bradford can’t be trusted.

Paul Calandra has put 8 Ontario school boards under supervision for financial mismanagement so having Stan Cho - who spent thousands of dollars on Toronto hotel rooms despite living in the city - as his parliamentary assistant makes perfect sense in Doug Ford’s Ontario. 🙃

Voter suppression is about encouraging anyone who might vote for another candidate to stay home, so you need fewer votes for your own candidate to win. Publishing fake polls indicating a lead for BradBrad in the final days is classic voter suppression. Worked for Ford X3.

To the people who are still talking about how Canada is "not taking Alberta seriously" -- what on earth are you talking about? The PM is an Albertan. The leader of the opposition is an Albertan. Our national politics revolve around Alberta's interests and concerns. What else do you want?

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.
