The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs donโ€™t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And thatโ€™s cowardly as shit.

Torontoโ€™s mayoral race between Olivia Chowโ€™s cautious progressivism and Brad Bradfordโ€™s right scapegoating politics is close. As @desmondcole.bsky.social argues, even if Chow pulls it off, sheโ€™ll need left-wing councillors at city hall like Chiara Padovani to push her. youtube.com/shorts/KGUNQ...

Plains Cree musician says routine traffic stop with RCMP turned into violent encounter. Q: What percentage of RCMP and Cops are racist? Less than 100%? Canadians rightfully view the police in derogatory terms because they are systemically corrupt. #saskpoli #cdnpoli #canada shorturl.at/NKdnT

Some ground rules that have helped us: - Go outside your bubble, try new social media channels - Donโ€™t underestimate the power of WhatsApp (although less so in the U.S.) - Post on the Instagram grid, not just stories - Watch every Instagram video until the end before sharing - IGNORE THEM

Iโ€™m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Donโ€™t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epsteinโ€™s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

I understand metaphor. When I call you a stupid baby, I'm comparing you to a child who hasn't yet learned what words mean. Because you have compared a man losing his job to being attacked by a mob who strings him up in a tree until he is dead. I think only a metaphorical stupid baby would do that.

So BC, one of MANY problems with voting for an interim leader who youโ€™re thinking seems โ€œmore reasonableโ€ than the rest of their obviously extremist party, is that the extremist party WILL pick a REAL leader AFTER youโ€™ve given them power and can pick their worst extremist option anytime they want.

bcelection.bsky.social@bcelection.bsky.social

Reminder: even though the election is tomorrow, the BC Conservatives do not have a permanent leader. The Cons never voted for Doerkson, and now they want BC to. Doerkson may appear moderate, but don't forget the party voted for Kerry Lynn-Findley, not him. #bcpoli #bcelection

Ossoff: "I encourage all of you to reach out to the Collins campaign to ask him how explains the continued production & dissemination of white nationalist and antisemitic propaganda from his property while he runs for the Senate. It's one of the most shocking developments in GA's political history"

The Alberta NDP spent the summer talking to hundreds of thousands of Albertans, and what we've heard over and over is that they are concerned about the state of health care, education, and the rising cost of living. The UCP has no plan to address these issues, so we will offer real solutions.

Olivia Chow is likely going to win the Toronto mayoral election on Monday, but the fact that Brad Bradford is even close to her in the polls says so many things about where we are as a province and a city, and none of them are great

About 2 million kids have lost SNAP since deep cuts were enacted last year. The ripple effects: Kids losing SNAP also lose automatic enrollment for free meals at school. And as more kids lose SNAP, their schools may be forced to drop Community Eligibility.
