This is fascinating given the 1969 White Paper and Indigenous opposition to eliminating the Act

The Jewish Labour Bund (for which his great grandfather was a chairman) always opposed Zionism (all will be revealed in my forthcoming book!!)

Canadians can’t afford rent. Food bank use is at a record high. Wages are stagnant while the rich are getting richer than ever before. Of all the people who could use this kind of federal support right now, venture capitalists are at the bottom of that list. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

Do I know anyone in Hamilton who could pop by McMaster archives for me??

It’s not enough to go vote in the referendum. We need every Canadian to also pick up the phone and call 10 people to get them to do the same. And then do the same and this is how we create a wave. You can just do it. You can just call 10 people you know. Right now. And tell them to vote 🇨🇦

I have spent a lot of time speaking with Alberta separatist leaders, more than most Alberta separatists, I'd wager. My latest. pressprogress.ca/who-are-the-...

The Trump-aligned CEO of an American corporation is dismantling one of Canada’s most important industries and 500 Canadian workers could lose their jobs. If we’re serious about making Canada strong, it’s time to take back control of our economy and nationalize Stelco.

Canadians want to build big things, but you can’t build those things without steel. To save the Canadian steel industry and take back control of our economy, Canada must nationalize Stelco.

This fucker helped the US lie their way into the Iraq war and needs to disappear (even if he might be on the right side of this particular one)

I'm working on a scan of the state of anti-trans hate in Canada, and am hoping to connect with other researchers/advocates working in this space. If that's you or someone you know, please reach out—I'd love to chat! And please share this amongst your networks! My email is mel@antihate.ca.

Media was all over Avi Lewis for his reflections on the genocide. But after a major newspaper appeared to threaten him — a major party leader —and his family as a result, the media fell all but silent.

Stelco’s American owners have broken their commitments. Their CEO supports Trump’s tariffs, which are designed to deindustrialize our economy and destroy our manufacturing base. If we’re serious about saving the Canadian steel industry, Canada must nationalize Stelco. www.ndp.ca/news/ndp-lea...

While the separation question is likely to lose, the other nine ballots portend bad things to come from the UCP, regardless of outcome.

NEW EP: Is voting on doing racism and xenophobia a good idea? Could it maybe be a bad idea? @readtheorchard.org weighs in: albertaadvantagepod.com/2026/10/13/r...

We won’t stand by while Mark Carney launches the biggest attack on workers’ rights, Indigenous rights, and the environment that we've seen since the Harper era. Join our emergency town hall on October 14th, and let’s build the power to stop Bill C-39 together. RSVP here: www.ndp.ca/stop-bill-c39

Yes, I’m going to celebrate my 50th year by seeing the Backstreet Boys. What’s it to you?

BREAKING: Settlers fear other settlers will steal stolen land

I would repost your posts if you included alt text

Trump admin demands Canada not meddle in midterms so they can meddle in separatist referendums

The Exorcist on my 12th birthday. Didn’t sleep for months. Still hate devil voices

The Chop makes me murderous. Get fucked Atlanta.

This is how you lost 2019. This is how you lost 2023. This is how you lose 2027. Absolute disgrace. Weak. Idealess. Backwards thinking. A joke.

"The writer in this article appeared to suggest that under Jewish law, [Avi] Lewis would be considered either a 'mosar' or a 'rodef' - both terms to describe traitors. The killer of former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin used the same language to justify Rabin's assassination..."

Throwing billions in public money behind a pipeline at a time of climate breakdown – while sweeping aside environmental protections, meaningful Indigenous consultation and workers’ right to strike – is absolutely not in the national interest.

Good lord, could you have a worse position on this?

As a historian, can I just say how much I love this?? Let’s go!

The National Post is using language that seems wildly irresponsible and dangerous here Citing ancient “Jewish law,” it labels Avi Lewis as a “rodef” The ultranationalist extremist who assassinated Yitzhak Rabin rationalized his killing on the same basis: www.theguardian.com/world/2020/o...

This is legitimately terrifying. Threats like this should not be tolerated, especially in one of our major news outlets. Do not let this pass unchallenged. nationalpost.com/opinion/yoni...

So much crying in baseball

Get your shingles vaccine asap

Covid and flu vaccines available the same day as the horrible AB referendum is very hilarious to me for some reason

“Hajdu says there are times in negotiations when employers or unions refuse to bargain in good faith and instead wait for the government to intervene.” Pretty much every time the government has intervened it has been because the employers are doing this. Both sidesing it is so fucking dishonest.

This crisis moment is a chance to reimagine what kind of Canada we want to build – and Canadians are ready to build big things together.

Bad day for Canadian politics but sending a message to my politician friend complimenting his suit 😂😂

It's Monday! did you miss Dr. Roberta Lexier and I's op/ed published on Saturday? Now's your chance to read it, only a little bit late. edmontonjournal.com/opinion/colu...

We either all have rights or none of us do. It’s that simple.

by Myself and Dr. Roberta Lexier "We call on Premier Smith to do the right thing: Cancel the referendum until we fully understand the accusations surrounding EA. Start an investigation into what happened. And fully resource the organization entrusted with ensuring Alberta’s democracy."

So… the Charter *does* apply to university campuses? For pro-Palestinian protesters too? Or just these awful people?
