Scientists agree.. “Just stop burning fossil fuels” Seems like a no brainer. Why do our politicians keep missing the memo? Profits are useless if we can’t breathe. @mark-carney.bsky.social @wgreaves.bsky.social @davidebybc.bsky.social @gracealore.bsky.social #cdnpoli #bcpoli #yyj

3/ Mark Carney has abandoned progressives in the Liberal Party in favour of the interests of big business. Steven Guilbeault’s departure makes that crystal clear. There is only one party that fights for everyday people. It’s time for change. And that change starts with us.

“I don’t know what happens in the backrooms of politics and power, but it seems like they remove the values and principles and the courage to stick by your values and principles.”

2/ Canada’s participation in this spectacle puts progressive Canadians at real risk. It’s outrageous, and the Prime Minister owes Canadians an explanation as to why he’s involving our country in this ugly episode.

Genuinely losing my mind watching Carney's announcement today. Canada is burning, our prime minister says we can't afford climate action, and today he ANNOUNCES MORE DEFENCE SPENDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The gov't of Canada, led by oily Mark Carney, would sacrifice anything on the alter of fossil fuels.

we need YOU Avi, now more than ever!

Incredibly brazen for the Prime Minister to boast about the “lasting benefits” of expanding fossil fuel production on a day like today. Record-breaking heatwaves. Toxic smoke engulfing cities and towns. Out of control wildfires forcing entire communities to evacuate. /1

Joined BC nurses at the picket lines yesterday morning and interviewed union council member, Cait Jarvis, asking - what should the public know about this strike and nurses’ working conditions? #bcnursesstrike

In case you need another reason to believe that public transit is superior to private cars: Not only are private cars more expensive, more resource-intensive, and more climate-damaging, they are also causing us to have dementia. www.newsweek.com/common-tire-...

“The likeliest alternative to the painstaking project of reconciliation is not a frictionless real estate bonanza, or a return to the status quo. It’s a return to the crises of Oka and Idle No More, and a tsunami of new legal battles.” #bcpoli #cdnpoli

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years: Tax cuts for the rich ...don’t trickle down Boosting military spending ...doesn’t bring peace Slashing regulations ...doesn’t create jobs Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

“If we’re now talking about a hypothetical West Coast pipeline, the volatility and the reliance on global oil prices and very uncertain demand … there is not a long-term case to be made for increasing oil expansion to the degree that would be required for a major new pipeline.” #bcpoli #cdnpoli

PM Carney is once again supporting U.S. violence and impunity. Canada can’t control Trump’s chaos. But we can take a clear stand for lives, livelihoods, international law and global stability. New Democrats say: stop the war. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Most people don’t need a car bigger than this.

This account of the heat wave in Paris reads like a dystopian novel.. “My apartment is currently 43°C. It drops to 38°C overnight. I slept in a tent in a forest for a few nights.”

This has been the most spiritually bankrupt celebration of anything I've ever seen and that's it, that's our 250th. We don't get to go back and redo it, this one's in the books: Temu Arch, cheesy architecture, horrible displays, AI everywhere. Far right propaganda. Jokes at our expense

I don't wanna see a single white person's shock about why militias of white supremacists march in the Capitol for the 4th of July when the founders were white supremacists who whipped the people they owned! Stop acting clueless about what your country's always been or you'll never get out of this.

Signed. Thanks to Leah Gazan and the NDP for your courageous leadership during these difficult times. (note: link in the thread didn't work for me but this one should) 👇 www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

I commend Mayor Alto & Council members who stand by harm reduction. It’s life saving & a foundation to addressing the crises on our streets. I do think it is important to acknowledge the legitimate circumstances that cause opposition such as C. Gardiner’s as she is not alone. A short 🧵.

To be honest, I'm feeling heavyhearted after yesterday's pipeline announcement. Climate-related death and suffering are here now, but instead of phasing out fossil fuels we're committing to decades of ramping up. And most Canadians seem okay with that. I'm genuinely sorrowful. #cdnpoli #bcpoli #yyj

“Canadians deserve better than being told our only choice is another fight over another pipeline. This country needs an alternative to the Liberal-Conservative consensus that is doubling down on a future of climate-wrecking corporate welfare.” #cdnpoli

the political class is trying to tell us governments funnelling tens of billions of $ to the richest, most-polluting industry on earth will do a single thing to make our lives more affordable/less shitty, as if we’ve all got brains the size of a ping pong ball and were born yesterday #cdnpoli

BREAKING: The Wilderness Committee is condemning today’s announcement of a new Canada-British Columbia Cooperative Prosperity Agreement as an abandonment of both governments’ efforts to fight #climatechange and protect the #environment. www.wildernesscommittee.org/news/wildern...

I really appreciated this piece by @sammyroth.bsky.social on the disappearance of climate from the power broker discourse. It’s the kind of thoughtful, nuanced deep dive we should be seeing in journalism but is largely found in newsletters these days.

First review! 🙏 "From two of the left’s sharpest thinkers, this inspired book maps the ideas common to three virulent strains of contemporary politics.... An astute, original-minded analysis of the apocalyptic thinking that links tech, politics, and religion" www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews...

Carney is giving Trump too much credit if he thinks the US is a bigger threat to Canada than climate change. Rapidly building out the military industrial complex is a dangerous gamble. This is the problem with letting a banker run a country. He can't see past the limits of capitalism. #cdnpoli

Very important to never write a book laying out the things you believe in, in case they become politically inconvenient five years later and you look like a massive hypocrite as they disappear under the bus

This is what the entire video is intended to couch. It’s the only part that matters. “We can’t afford to restrain the growth of an important part of our energy mix, oil and gas, to meet a short term goal,” Carney said. “Our emissions will be higher in the next few years”

Why did our ruling class not invest in decarbonising faster to avoid this acceleration in deadly heatwaves that scientists warned would come? Because of the capitalist law of value.

Premier @davidebybc.bsky.social and my MLA @gracealore.bsky.social this is shameful that the BC government has cut funding, forcing the closure of IDHHC who have been providing valuable services to the deaf and hard of hearing community on Vancouver Island for decades. #yyj #bcpoli

Someone please mash up Narcissus and the Portrait of Dorian Gray into the tale a demented man who thought to see his own magnificence reflected in, well, a Reflecting Pool and instead saw failure and algae and decay.

(3/4) Ignoring these risks and violating his duty to respect these prior decisions, Carney went ahead and welcomed foreign investment in the project at the G7 Leaders Summit last week. This is yet another deeply disturbing example of Carney’s Liberal government taking huge environmental risks

Some people will say this REI ad was AI generated. I choose to believe that they have finally embraced the power of “reach around bars,” and acknowledged the bourgeois redundancy of having two pedals.

Carney is frighteningly and aggressively dismantling Canada’s regulatory safety nets in order to serve corporate interests. He needs to be transparent with Canadians about these decisions that compromise our health and safety. This is not #elbowsup #cndpoli #canada

Prime Minister Carney says the war in Iran was "worth it". I want to know who he thinks it was worth it for.

My email to the Downtown Victoria Business Association regarding their downright fucking stupid annual report. I hope that council will speak out against its harmful rhetoric calling for making streets dangerous for cyclists, increasing congestion, and making transit worse.

AI is fossil capital accumulation: One of govt's stated top “public policy benefits” of constructing data centres is creating new markets for Canadian fracked gas producers, w/ build-out of vast electricity-consuming data centres providing markets for Canadian energy. thetyee.ca/News/2026/06...
