Canada is uniquely positioned to break the siege of Cuba—we should be leading a regional coalition to ship oil and aid to Cuba, and prevent the humanitarian crisis that U.S. regime is attempting to deliberately trigger. I wrote about it, and the history of the blockade, for @policyalternatives.ca

Flavio Bolsonaro holding a monkey's paw: I want to be able to spend time with my dad again

The rival blocs contesting Israel’s general election differ over many questions, but they converge in their opposition to a Palestinian state. Even if Benjamin Netanyahu loses power, the occupation will continue.

Brazilians: elect a long-time, stable, centre-left president rather than the extremist son of a jailed coup-plotter affiliated with paramilitary gangs The capitalist press:

US military nearly attacked a Chinese ship because of false, hallucinated AI claim that the ship had nuclear weapons components on it. Planes were "in the air" and the attacks was halted "only just before" they were set to begin.

Thought you would be getting cheap efficient BYD's in North America? Well how about instead we get more Tesla's! www.electrive.com/2026/09/08/c...

Awful new frontiers in authoritarian democracy-destabilizing disinformation, in this case leading to the deaths of >100 would-be migrants. And It's easy to imagine a similar political-disinformation-fuelled event happening at Canada's borders.

For our finale, Gemini will lead mr beast on a submarine trip to visit the sunken ruins of the titanic

Two weeks after a government-commissioned report on campus antisemitism was published, its authors revealed new information showing that 92 per cent of anti-Zionist Jewish respondents actually found campuses safe and inclusive. Professor Joshua Sealy-Harrington digs in.

techno-optimists befuddled by declining popular support for “the robot that tells you to kill yourself”, “the pervert glasses“, and “the camera network that stalks you”

Canadians want justice for Gaza. Mark Carney's government is giving Benjamin Netanyahu access to Canadian airspace despite an ICC arrest warrant. So much for Canada's commitment to international law. The rule of law isn't a slogan—it's either universal or it's hypocrisy. #cdnpoli

Mark Carney just allowed war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu to fly through Canada despite a warrant for his arrest and the country being a signatory to the Rome Statute. We have aided and embedded one of history's greatest monsters

The DSA platform, I'm told, would also abolish the tooth fairy

The Gaza world order: Israel’s ongoing genocide is the fascists’ blueprint for the world they seek to construct by Nashwa Lina Khan. The latest from the Monitor: www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

You've gotta feel kinda bad for the Mossad hasbara department recruiter who played Boy George's new reggae song to his colleagues and tried to convince them it was a major propaganda win

Ever since Adolf Hitler was turned down by the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts, fascism has been a refuge and consolation for the talentless. AI is their revenge on human creativity.

There's an all-party consensus on apartheid inside the Knesset, and many of the country's most popular figures (like Itamar Ben-Gvir, Naftali Bennett, & Bezalel Smotrich) are even more extremist than Netanyahu. There's no "opening after Netanyahu" inside Israeli politics, only pressure from outside.

The Trump administration is hosting a high-level global meeting on combating “political terrorism” in Washington — a move experts have described as a politically-motivated crackdown on left-wing movements. Canada is one of more than 60 countries attending. Just in from @markramzy.bsky.social:

📰 Journalists, academics and civil society groups endorse call for Anti-SLAPP legislation to protect free and democratic speech in Alberta Read statement on our website: https://loom.ly/n_ttIHw

"The little girl was still in Bluey pajamas. No older than 3, she was trying to smell the flowers. At her side, a pink rolling bag. Her father, Joan Sebastian Guerrero, had just been fatally shot & yanked from a car he’d been driving. He lay handcuffed in the street, where he'd remain for 5 hrs."

Are these lawyers high? “In the filing, a team of five federal lawyers denies First Nations have a distinctly Indigenous interest in drinking water, asserting that FNs’ interest in their own reserve land doesn't include water because ‘water is not attached to land, but flows under and around it’"

The complete elimination of Meta would yield unambiguous, far reaching benefits for global society.

gutting the public service to write a blank cheque for war

periodic reminder that the boat bombings are still happening

I wrote about how the United States, in its period of imperial decline and fascist ascendancy, is treating Canada the way it has always treated Latin America: as a target.

i consider this an act of mercy from the Belgians

Absolutely disgraceful behaviour from @pressfreedom.bsky.social. The Israeli state murders journalists at a far greater rate than any other state in history, and the CPJ, rather than protecting them, is working to retroactively slander the dead. A disgusting move from an org that should know better.

given what Elon is willing to say out loud now, I’m amazed he’s not willing to say the actual reason he wanted to kill USAID, which is its role in the end of apartheid

there needs to be a coordinated global effort among democracies to destroy this man's financial and social media empires and leave him impoverished and powerless

"The man that's running Syria now is a person that I put there" is an incredible thing to openly admit when referring to a man who "was" the leader of al qaeda in Syria

Re-upping this story this morning. A landmark Superior Court case in Kitchener recognized the Charter Rights of homeless people. Doug Ford has threatened to reverse that. I spoke to the people impacted the most by this, the encampment residents. Please read and share this one widely.

I was once picked up hitchhiking by a nice woman in rural Quebec. When I asked what she did for a living, she stuttered before admitting she was RCMP. "I didn't want to tell you because you're from Montreal and everyone there hates the police" she said. I'd like to see them try to enforce this lol

Musk fomenting violent race riots in Northern Ireland should have everyone to the left of Reagan fleeing the platform he owns and directly controls but they've already excused so much more, they've abdicated their capacity for moral indignation and disgust

He not only owns the website! He is directly in charge of which posts the website shows people! Musk is more responsible for whipping up these mobs than anyone else!

perv glasses are in europe’s crosshairs. i definitely want to see quick progress on this.

Seeing some people react to this as if Jesse Brown lost in court and experiencing some understandable schadenfreude But his isn't a court verdict, it's an out-of-court settlement. What this actually shows is Jesse Brown was willing to pay $885,000 to avoid a public airing of these issues at trial

In what universe is this not grounds for immediate expulsion

You used to be able to google the time of the sunset, and Google would give you the exact time right on top every single time. Thankfully, with artificial intelligence, you can now ask Google what time the sun will set and it will conveniently tell you "I don't know."
