It would be grand, then, if the Government of Canada would terminate any use of X/Twitter. And don't say, "Oh, we need it to get our messages out," because then you are "caught in a situation where we are reliant on one provider."

It doesn’t matter how many health organizations beg Carney to keep his election promise to defend Canadians’ right to health care under the Canada Health Act. Those just aren’t Canadian rights that Carney shows interest in defending either. 9/ www.healthcoalition.ca/open-letter-...

In Mark Carney’s vision for Canada, finance trumps human rights every single time. For all his talk of values, contempt for human rights runs consistently throughout his actual policy decisions. This is not pragmatism. It is a conscious betrayal of fundamental ethics that diminishes Canada. 🧵1/

Carney says his job is to safeguard rights within Canada, while doing nothing when provinces repeatedly violate rights within Canada, and while personally dismantling indigenous rights, labour rights, immigrant rights, privacy rights, & environmental rights within Canada.

Albertans deserve real solutions to the crises they face, not scapegoating that divides us and fuels prejudice. Right now, all Canadians have an opportunity to reject this and say: we stand with migrants facing the brunt of this cynical, negative politics.

But no amount of punching down by Danielle Smith will fix Alberta’s health care, public education or cost-of-living crises. These are the consequences of years of underfunding, not of newcomers trying to build a life in that beautiful province.

Please not to Canada tho

For decades, climate science which has consistently undersold the risks has defined +2ºC of warming as the boundary between dangerous & catastrophic. The legacy Mark Carney's chosen to strive for is a brutal +4ºC death knell for human civilization. climateactiontracker.org/countries/ca...

(b) It allows the Minister to unilaterally "add, remove, or amend any condition" in respect of a project’s authorization. One person, not expert opinion, not evidence, just one person, gets to decide what conditions will be required or not required for those projects. 2/

You can read the text of the Mark Carney's bill C-39 online at www.parl.ca/DocumentView... Anyone doing so will notice, even if digging no deeper than the summary, that the bill gives specific officials unilateral power over project approvals instead of a credible impact assessment process. 🧵1/

The UK’s $20 billion warm homes plan, now under threat, is designed to help millions save money and create tens of thousands of new jobs. The other plan would enrich a handful of corporations and hire 97% fewer people. We need to stop helping the obscenely rich continue to get more obscenely rich.

you can't be serious. This reads Meta/Facebook/Insta is looking to grant itself the rights to scrape websites across the open web - and train Meta's AI - if a company after Oct 30, 2026 uses Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp or other Meta services. So every biz. Read that again. Outrageous. 1/5

Well worth watching. And taking action. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuXy...

Weird how you didn’t use the word “pipelines.”

So, Conservatives think public ownership is good when it’s gifting the highly profitable oil industry another pipeline, but not when it means saving Canadian jobs and our domestic steel industry? Interesting. Anyway. Nationalize Stelco.

Natural gas is not clean.

"The #EcoPlug provides 9 operating modes as a load controller. Depending on the mode, it can respond to a timer, temperature, light or a combination of conditions. In its combined timer-and-thermostat mode, both the scheduled time & temperature threshold must be... yukon-news.com/2026/10/09/y...

A national strategy to end energy poverty is being proposed, while $2 billion was announced for heat pumps – though they remain "challenging" to use in the NWT....

3 out of 10 Canada Pension Plan board members also serve on boards of oil and gas companies, which Chief Public Affairs Officer Michel Leduc says is “not a conflict of interest.” Last year it made at least $6 billion in new fossil fuel investments and dropped its net zero target.

Sure puts today’s $2 billion (over 8 years!) heat pump announcement in perspective.

We may be underestimating the Pope’s influence on these playoffs.

Everyday Canadians keep rolling their eyes at the NDP but after they pushed Justin Trudeau into dentalcare, my dentist gave me a free cleaning and excitedly said she could get me a discount on a crown. But then in came Carney, her claims have been repeatedly rejected and it hurts when I chew 🫤

Naomi Klein Is Spot On.......

We gotta start referring to data centers by both their mother and father's last names, Spain style. The Microsoft-Chevron data center, the Meta-ExxonMobil data center, and so forth. Absolutely no reason just the tech bros should be taking the heat on this shit

Meta and Tik Tok refusing to allow the trailer for Musk to run as a paid ad on their site—just like any other movie trailer—means users should fight tech oligarch solidarity and share it widely youtu.be/FFTf1lzcs28?...

Over the ten years, Premier Smith claims Alberta faced a hostile federal government, oil and gas production doubled, and Ottawa poured tens of billions into energy infrastructure. The tolerance of her big lie is almost as remarkable as the lie itself. https://ow.ly/Fl7950ZRRaq

1/A Parl Secretary should be able to vote according to their conscience. Sean Casey supported my C-233, which sought to close a loophole in Canada’s arms export controls. If MPs face consequences for exercising independent judgment, what does a “free vote” actually mean? www.cbc.ca/lite/story/9...

We just dropped a bombshell investigation into ChatGPT's role in the Tumbler Ridge mass shooting. Incredible reporting from @markfollman.bsky.social that will have far-reaching effects...hopefully: www.motherjones.com/media/2026/0...

we have control mechanisms for this. it's called The Law. these guys should be held personally liable for these harms. the suicides, the thefts, the intrusions into computer systems. they should be sued and prosecuted as appropriate. problem immediately solved

Carney: The rules-based international order is crumbling. International Criminal Court: As a participating member you are required by the rules to arrest those with a warrant if they pass through your territory. Carney: Fuck you.

A new PBO report confirms adding new tax brackets for the wealthiest 0.3% would raise over $1 billion a year. Instead of selling off Canada’s strategic public assets like airports, we should be asking those who have benefited most from our society to contribute their fair share.

This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it. It was effectively banned as it never aired again. I wonder why. MEDIA-OPOLY

You misspelled corporate welfare.

Ravens' Chorus Kenojuak Ashevak ~ Inuk 2002

There's a reason previous Liberal governments looked at privatizing airports and didn't go through with it. Private investors don't want a stake in our public assets to make them better. They’re in it to make as much money as possible for themselves - while workers and passengers pay the price.
