Friends, can I ask a favour. Our latest Honest Government out is a serious warning to Canada from Australia, which acts as a cautionary tail about the harms of the gas (LNG) export industry... Hence the cameo (spoiler alert) from our own aussie climate criminals, Woodside Energy 1/🧵

I am so willing to pay a bit more tax for youth bus passes and bike & roll infrastructure. However, I am concerned that the police budget seems to keep taking a bigger and bigger slice of the pie. More police and bylaw officers is not an effective or ethical response to homelessness. #yyj

This budget hurts people. 40,000 jobs cut. Services cut. Indigenous services gutted. Nothing for the environment. But American big-tech billionaires? They get tax breaks. We can still fix this. Mark Carney can still amend this budget and choose fairness.

"If there’s any lesson in this bleak update, it’s that delay is the most expensive climate policy of all. Each year of foot-dragging and each step backwards only multiplies the cost in climate impacts and the effort required later. The atmosphere isn’t waiting for us to get our politics in order."

This is such an exciting signal of what's to come with COP30 and beyond. It's about time that countries came together and made a plan to phase out fossil fuels based on science and fact, without the influence of those that stand to benefit from continued expansion, who have been holding us back.

Breaking! City of Burnaby just became first city in Canada to join arms embargo movement against Israel AND the first Apartheid-Free City, breaking ties with Israeli apartheid and settler colonialism. We've been organizing for months towards this precedent in colonial Canada.

I just joined the global call to #DrawTheLine — for peace, climate justice, and a world beyond fossil fuels. I'll be taking action in Victoria, BC on Sept. 20, 2025. Will you join me? drawtheline.world?event_id=262...

I am furious about this. There used to be Conservative MPs who advocated for trans rights. Gutless, spineless, cowards. No backbone. No morals. If they'll stomp on trans rights the second it's no longer politically expedient to support them, know that they'll stomp on anyone's rights.

hey #yyj is this letter for real? I kept thinking it was satire.. but I honestly can't tell. www.vicnews.com/opinion/lett...

Prime Minister Carney ran on a platform to defend Canada's interests. He has no mandate to spend billions on a satellite/drone/missile scheme that turns over our air space to Donald Trump. Even being willing to entertain discussions sends a signal that our sovereignty is negotiable. It's not.

Recent announcements by France, EU, Arab League, Canada is not them 'changing' - it is another two-state attempt at Oslo pacification and normalization. There can be NO "solution" that demands disarmament of the resistance, maintains apartheid & occupation, denies the right of return for refugees.

And *another* pedestrian has been killed. I’m running out of words to comprehend the situation on the Island right now. It’s just completely unacceptable. We need to get together as local governments, the Province, emergency management, and police and implement a serious Vision Zero plan.

So so so good. Hilarious. 😂👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

I call for the immediate release of U.S. human rights defender and labour leader Chris Smalls from Israeli custody. He has reportedly been assaulted in custody, after travelling on the Handala boat to Gaza, bringing food and medicine to starving people.

Columbia University folded. 60 Minutes was brought to heal. The legal and political class took dives. And yet South Park is on the rampart of democracy and forcing media to discuss the nature of the authoritarian regime in Washington. Watch this interview. www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1tc...

No more excuses, @mark-carney.bsky.social … Macron has provided the cover to do the bare minimum (human) thing here. There’s no downside to recognizing #palestine and condemning the ongoing #genocide. Children have a right to exist. @wgreaves.bsky.social we need you to stand up for #yyj

73 people were murdered as they desperately waited for food. It's just another day under the IDF genocide of a people. The Pope is calling on international leaders to end this barbarism And yet our leaders continue to go along with these crimes against humanity. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

We are doing this. Our governments. Our taxes. Our arms sales. This is our Holocaust. Our Cambodian killing fields. Our Balkans. Our Rwandan genocide. We are doing this and history will never forgive us. Gaza:

During the election campaign, Mark Carney pledged to increase the CBC’s budget by $150 million dollars a year. Now that he’s in government, he’s telling the public broadcaster to find up to $198 million in annual cuts. He can’t claim to defend the country when he’s gutting its media and culture.

I stand with Francesca Albanese. They will sanction the human rights defenders. They will criminalize the students and the protestors. They will vilify the freedom fighters. Because we challenge their power and their crimes. While they continue to commit genocide.

Carbon pollution from burning fossil fuels makes extreme rainfall events more common and more extreme. Is this the time for more pipelines to extract and burn more fossil fuels @mark-carney.bsky.social & @davidebybc.bsky.social? Or is it time to pivot to clean energy? #cdnpoli #bcpoli #elbowsup

Happy Canada Day! 8thfirerising.ca

The White House on Carney: "It’s very simple, Prime Minister Mark Carney and Canada caved to President Trump." MAGA is not interested in negotiating trade they are into ritual humiliation. We gave up our right to establish domestic tax policy on tech oligarchs. Trump is now going after dairy.

Rescinding the DST isn’t strategy-it’s surrender. This costs Canadians billions. The wealthiest people on Earth won’t pay what they owe. What do we get in return? Nothing. This is another tactic to destroy our economy & instead of fighting back, we’re rolling over. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

A cowardly move by Mark Carney that shows Donald Trump his government can be pushed around and pressured into concessions in ongoing trade talks. Elbows down seems to be Carney’s new slogan.

The return on investment to Meta, Amazon and the tech gang for paying for Trump’s inauguration has been tremendous (saving them billions at the expense of Canada’s fiscal bottom line). www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

most hopeful thing about Zohran's win isn't even Zohran himself. only time will tell how he will play out, but what is undeniably incredible is that millions of people want a free palestine, public transit & childcare, rent freeze, higher wages... that's a horizon for all of us to keep building on

Are folks ready to let go of the hero they needed and start critically thinking about the PM we got? (i.e. one that is audaciously eroding democratic norms and passing legislation that echos Trump, with the support of Conservatives)

Recommended read. I think this piece really captures what has been unfolding in recent weeks. For Carney, It's Elbows Down via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

Breaking the treaties is the oldest con in confederation. Mark Carney decided that going after First Nation rights is top of the agenda for pushing pipelines. People voted for him to be the anti-MAGA MAPLE, not to steal their playbook. My latest. charlieangus.substack.com/p/meanwhile-...

www.aptnnews.ca?p=272395 Steven Crowchild only had a few moments to address U.S. President Donald Trump as he and other invited delegates welcomed G7 leaders to a summit on Treaty 7 territory. He made the most of it.

yeah.. I was skeptical about Carney all along, so I'm not surprised.. disappointed yes, but not surprised. #cdnpoli

Excellent thread summing up the pitfalls of Carney’s agenda #cdnpoli #canada

As Canada prepares to host the G7 summit, Prime Minister Carney has an opportunity and responsibility to lead boldly on climate justice, economic transformation, and international solidarity. Let’s make sure he rises to the challenge. Sign the petition: 350.org/canada/fairs...

There is public support and growing international momentum for a wealth tax, including in long recognized tax havens like Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Cayman Islands and Bermuda says @1alexhemingway.bsky.social. A wealth tax is more feasible than ever to enforce he says. bcpolicy.ca/2025/06/...

Here are two easy actions you can take to demand an immediate two-way arms embargo now: 📧 Email PM Carney, Foreign Minister Anita Anand, and your MP: leadnow.ca/campaigns/ur... 📞 Call you MP’s office: win.newmode.net/leadnow/arms...

Yesterday we made Palestine and the genocide in Gaza unavoidable in Ottawa, the nation’s capital in Canada. Protestors took over the streets in front of CANSEC, an arms trade show where tech and weapons used to slaughter Palestinians are being bought and sold.

Great to stand together against Bill 15 this morning. This bill is a blank cheque for Cabinet to pick and choose which projects avoid rigorous EA and permitting reqts without any clear guardrails to uphold Indigenous rights and governance and ensure environmental protections.

Just 5 yrs ago my colleagues in the @bcndpcaucus.bsky.social were accepting the gratitude showered on them for passing DRIPA. Now they are breaking that law & the interim policy they promised and dragging us back to the BC Liberals! @bowinnma.bsky.social @christineboyle.bsky.social 2/2

Outside of the world wars, this is the best time in Canadian history to increase taxes on the wealthy and push the idea that paying taxes is a patriotic duty. Instead, the Liberals are going with the conservative playbook of continuing to demonize taxes and shit on the very idea of public spending.

Palestine is the rock on which the West will break itself. Put yourself in the shoes of people in the global South. For nearly two years they have watched how Western leaders, who love to talk about human rights and the rule of law, are happy to shred all these values ...

“it isn’t just bad journalism, it’s a gift to white supremacy” #cbc #ctv why are you blurring the faces of white people committing racist acts?

📉 Issue: Housing targets are too low. 75% of housing need isn’t enough. The province must raise targets to 100% of actual need—anything less keeps people homeless or housing-insecure.

This is important

Progress does not happen because we hope for it. It happens because we show up. Because we hold leadership to account. Because we refuse to settle for less than a future that takes care of everyone. (6/6)

people in canada - pay attention to what's unfolding here, and not just w/Trump. Poilievre is promising to criminalize protest, deportations for pro-Palestine activism, withhold $ from universities, deny existence of trans people, implement three strikes laws & huge privatization. fight fascism here

BUT, I believe it is also the case that if the Carney-led Liberals secure a sweeping majority, many progressives are going to wake on April 29 feeling deep regret. The next govt needs to have its feet held to the fire. So, if you plan to vote strategically, do so wisely. My advice...

Amid a surge of nationalism — Indigenous sovereignty must be recognized With tariffs and other political threats, we must remember ‘Canada’ was built on a foundation of Indigenous title, write Jody Wilson-Raybould and Christine Boyle indiginews.com/first-person...
