Did you know, through Bill C-37 the Liberal government has refused to confirm the human right of all First Nations individuals to clean drinking water on reserve. Previous water legislation explicitly recognized this right, but the Liberals have deliberately removed it in Bill C-37. (1/3)

The mother of a young Indigenous woman who was found dead on a boat in a Richmond marina in 2022 says she’s lost faith with the police and B.C.’s coroner service following an inquest that raised troubling questions about how missing persons reports and deaths are investigated. #bcpoli

By popular demand (one person who DM’d me), an obituary for Lindsey Graham, focused on a lesser-known episode from the Lindsey Lore that has long defined him for me.

"...analysts consistently warn that EU countries will have no need for new supplies in the years or decades ahead, and two highly-publicized deals with potential German customers for British Columbia LNG were actually just preliminary agreements to keep negotiating." #CDNpoli #ABpoli #BCpoli #NLpoli

How about not buying into that premise, which is not rooted in evidence so much as the occasional moral panic story from the National Post?

Great catch from @conorcurtis.bsky.social here. Read this story for some inside ball on how the PMO uses internal polling. Global obtained the polling with an FOI. Then read the polling Conor linked. Even 61% of Albertans oppose subsidies for pipelines. Two very different questions. #CdnPoli

Last month the UK, France and Canada sanctioned "Ahavat Gilad", an Israeli Jewish nonprofit that systematically assists settlers in building new colonies in the illegally occupied West Bank. Yesterday, the Israeli National Security Ministry gave it millions of dollars.

We are in the age of the great derangement when governments promote massive expansion of oil/gas in defiance of the fact that we have plunged our planet into crisis. And nobody is paying attention to the consequences. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

There has been remarkably little debate about Canada's planned purchase of 12 foreign-built submarines, despite lifetime costs likely exceeding $100B. Canadians should ask whether pursuing middle-power naval ambitions makes sense when such vast sums could instead fund weakened public services.

Literally bragging about unconstitutional reverse onus provisions on bail, all in the name of co-opting Conservative penal populism. As I've said, Canadian voters flocked to Carney to avoid Pierre Poilievre, and what they got was Stephen Harper.

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 purchase of dozens of farm properties by two U.S. billionaires has prompted a small B.C. community to call for restrictions on foreign ownership of agricultural land.

This issue has been studied to death for over a century, and the real answer to crime is: social programs. The social programs he's gutting. What he's doing just sounds like more of the same conservative nonsense we've tried endlessly throughout history with no result except higher costs.

EH???

I expect Carney to do the opposite of explaining. Radio silence is the order of the day until the next batch of announcements are ready to go.

So many good memes this week.

I'm a bit curious why the FBI Director is saying that the FBI is "assisting local authorities and has made every necessary resource available" about Lindsey Graham's death?

I had the privilege of working with Senator Dracula on my bill offering tax cuts to family-owned mortuaries. While we disagreed on much and his horrible embrace has left me unable to endure sunlight, I'll always remember his amusing little jokes about exsanguinating my staff.

When someone dies, news outlets should be honest about what that person did. When Reagan died some higher-up at Air America Radio told us (Morning Sedition) to be kind. We were. To our listeners. With truth.
