We’ve been over this before: Every Global 7500 that Bombardier builds in 🇨🇦 has 2 GE engines built in Indiana, 🇺🇸. Every Challenger that Bombardier builds in 🇨🇦 has 2 Honeywell engines built in Arizona. 🇺🇸. Bombardier employs 3,000+ 🇺🇸s & has 2,800 🇺🇸 suppliers. Not so smart.

let's do UBI for her, she'd want us to

Doug Ford earned the nickname “Teflon premier,” for the way his many scandals never seem to stick to him. But his non-stick veneer may be evaporating. @blivesey.bsky.social examines eight years of Ford in power—and the corruption that might finally take him down. breachmedia.ca/the-rise-and...

But the wagons have already circled. If people you don’t like or politically agree with think you’re doing something wrong, you must be doing something right.

I support high speed rail.

We exist within an attention economy. What gets attention is what matters. If you support Universal Basic Income, then help it get more attention. That's why I post about and boost the UBI posts of others every day. That's why I write articles about it. Use my work to help. Make noise. Get loud. 📢

Exhibit N°128482016492 that UBI works and _makes money back_ For those in the back: UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME HAS ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE BETTER RETURN ON INVESTMENT THAN ARTIFICIAL INTELIGENCE

Basic Income Guarantee is not just an economic policy, but a way to recognise and support the essential work of caregiving. Many people leave or reduce paid employment to care for children, older adults, or loved ones with disabilities, work that goes unpaidhttps://zurl.co/6Myt1

The life of Palestinian physician Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, detained by Israel without charge for 18+ months, is reportedly under imminent threat. Israel should immediately and unconditionally release Dr. Abu Safiya and other arbitrarily detained Palestinians.

Waterfront activities attract 17 million visits per year. An expanded Island Airport with jets will change all this, turning the Waterfront into Pearson-by-the-Lake. Sign now and tell your elected representatives that this is the wrong plan for our waterfront!</div> share.nwmd.social/s/wusQfN2E

Reminder that per capita, Ontario spends less on public schools, universities, and healthcare than most other provinces. But our Premier does have his own jet now.

If you cannot hold a government accountable in any way... If there is no remedy to obvious and overt corruption... If you are not allowed to know what is being done in your name, with your money... You don't live in a democracy. Ontario has been post-democracy for quite some time now.

NEW: Here’s a gift link to the @TorontoStar exclusive revealing the government’s purchase of a private jet for Premier Doug Ford’s use. www.thestar.com/gift-redeem?...

Trump sent JD Vance to spend 21 hours to negotiate a deal with Iran 8 years after he tore up the JCPOA Obama forged with Iran after 21 months of negotiations.

Unpaid carers provide care that is worth £184 billion a year in the UK, equivalent to the entire NHS budget.

"U.S. officials called London insurers and brokers, trying to figure out how the market operates, industry insiders said." When applied to the current administration, I urge caution in using terms like "plans," "strategy," "policy," or "doctrine." www.wsj.com/finance/u-s-...

Threats to water supply and food inflation stalk Gulf states - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/threats-water-supply-and-food-inflation-stalk-gulf-states

Solutions like UBI make Canada more resilient to US economic warfare. They dampen the effect of tariffs and businesses pulling out of Canada. We will not beat the US by playing their games, we beat them by rebuilding our society into one that cares for people.

The High Court has confirmed what we all knew: proscribing Palestine Action was unlawful. The state must stop using “counter-terror” powers to criminalise solidarity and intimidate working-class people out of protest. The Labour government must lift the proscription now and drop every case NOW.

Liberal MP Bruce Fanjoy from the Ottawa-area riding or Carleton is breaking ranks with the Carney government on its Return to Office policy for public servants: “There is little to no evidence that a one-size-fits-all RTO policy will improve productivity or service to Canadians”

Chances are, you’re paying too much for groceries. 💸 Let’s take a look at why— and why it doesn’t have to be this way. Watch to the end for just one of the ways the Ontario NDP will rein in these outrageous prices.

Turns out the real threat isn’t immigrants - it’s blue zip codes.

Why is @mark-carney.bsky.social even considering participating in this??? FFS.

Canada's century of humiliation is over! *Carney joins Trump's "board of peace" 24 hours later*

Seeing a wave of new Twitter refugees landing on Bluesky again. Raptors/NBA talk should finally get a nice bump. If you’re new: here’s a starter pack of Raptors + NBA follows. And welcome to everyone who decided they’d had enough of Elon’s “X” also know as Truth Social 2.0. 🖕🏻 go.bsky.app/7ckWNqy

An incredible human - please read this obituary

Everyone must listen to these audio files. Unbelievably disturbing info about Trump.

The @ndp.ca (or other parties) could do more than delete X They could push for rules requiring government accounts only operate on platforms that meet higher standards around moderation, security and transparency Lead by example. Governments implicitly endorse these platforms with their presence

The CBC has just posted a transcript of my recent As it Happens interview about X and Grok. I’m posting a couple of screen shots here - since they are a bit too long for alt text, I’ll post the link to the full transcript below. #cdnpoli #X #Grok #yeg #CSAM

Every day, thousands of women and children are victimized by people on X using the Grok chatbot to generate scantily clad and naked photos of them. It’s time for governments to take action. Elon Musk’s X should have been banned long ago. They don’t have an excuse to delay any longer.

I just signed a petition demanding the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry Ban X/Twitter in Canada. Join me in signing here: you.leadnow.ca/petitions/ba... you.leadnow.ca/petitions/ba...

There are many, many people still viewing world events like today's through an ideological prism, as if the Trump regime has coherent or principled worldviews. The sane among us realize Trump could just as easily "capture" the Canadian Prime Minister next month, on a whim.

Abysmal statement from Canada on the illegal US action in Venezuela. It doesn’t matter how much you dislike Maduro, that doesn’t justify a violation of international law and the UN Charter. You can’t call on “all parties” to respect international law and not call out US lawlessness.

There's no legal difference between kidnapping Maduro and kidnapping Mark Carney.

Here is the translated official statement from the Government of Mexico Presuming he is not currently being held in a dungeon in upstate New York, it will be interesting to see whether Mark Carney explicitly condemns this as our neighbour Mexico has www.gob.mx/sre/prensa/m...

Long before the Toronto Blue Jays reached the World Series in 2025, or even won the title in 1992 and 1993, Canada had another world champion team. Back in 1877, the London Tecumsehs became Canada's first international interleague baseball champions. This is their story. 🧵 1/10

It is said that baseball is America's Pastime, but the first recorded baseball game in North American history happened north of their border. It was way back in 1838 when two teams came together in a cow pasture near present-day Beachville, Ontario. This is the story. 🧵 1/7

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

Anyone in #HamOnt please share!

Zack Polanski’s response to the Manchester terror attack has been a masterclass in mature statesmanship. Soulful, human, eloquent, empathetic, nuanced, confident and focused on healing. And bold. It has shone in contrast to so much weaponising or ill thought through commentary. Thank you Zack. 💪

@carolecadwalla.bsky.social does it again. Excellent and terrifying - a must read.

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.
