And when we demand that BCI + BC Public Sector Pension Plans divest from specific firms, why is that? It’s because these firms are terrible for people + the planet, morally bankrupt, and unlikely to ever change (i.e. investor “engagement“ won’t work). See 25 examples👇 from our awful advent calendar.

And for the all the other nerds interested 🧐 in the definition, etymology, and usage of “divest”…

This is the very first time anywhere on 🦋 in 2026 that the words “pension” + “divest” occur in the same post! Incredible, we know.🤔 Looking forward to working with all of you to make that combination of words a reality in the months ahead!

Every aggressively stupid reference to Europe in the NSS implicitly applies to Canada. As do the threats against Greenland + Denmark. And now with Venezuela, the Trump regime has crossed the Rubicon. We need to draw lessons from the Nordics and become a porcupine, fast.

Yep - and beyond being the cause of wars, #FossilFuelsFundFascists Fascist 🇷🇺 depends on fossil exports for to fund its barbarous war against our ally 🇺🇦. And it relies on 6 special LNG tanker ships managed by Seapeak Maritime (Glasgow), which are co-owned by Seapeak LLC, with HQ in VANCOUVER !!!

Agreed! @brodiefenlon.bsky.social - how on earth can CBC News justify remaining on X (especially given the latest outrages) but not join BlueSky? Our national broadcaster should not be abetting a force bent on our destruction. Thanks to @senatorpaulasimons.bsky.social for continuing to raise this!

Australia and the UK are likely going to arrive at an unavoidable moment of decision pretty soon - how can they possibly stay in AUKUS if the Trump regimes continues threatening/attacking other countries? Colombia, Mexico, and core allies like Denmark and Canada? Here’s the mood in Canada👇

One is a hyper-corrupt regime of xenophobic religious zealots that kill people in other countries and don’t believe in women’s rights, and the other is the Ayatollah of Iran. 🤷

Spoken like a true rapist www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Good thing that British Columbians don’t have any investments in……. oh. *updated figure is $213.45M

Excellent day to note that BCI + BC Public Sector Pension Plans (covering ~775,000 British Columbians) have big $$ invested in PALANTIR, which is enabling the ICE secret police and its horrific terror campaign. Time to divest from fascist-friendly firms! (See posts👇 from our awful advent calendar.)

Narrator: “America has a bit of a FASCISM problem.”

Yep, it’s completely scandalous. And beyond EU countries like France, Belgium, Spain and Hungary buying billion$ worth of fossil fuels from the Kremlin, loads of other western countries are too (especially through refinery loophole). #FossilFuelsFundFascists

Terrifying indeed.

Agreed. Not safe, not ethical, not worth it.

Saw that. It’s beyond messed up!

Ils sont fous, ces Americains!

This machine kills fascists. @raffic.bsky.social

“When Brexit passed, the economic impact was initially minimal. But a decade later, the UK is estimated to have lost 6 to 8 per cent of GDP relative to its pre-Brexit trajectory. Structural damage reveals itself slowly, and always too late to be reversed.” giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Serhii Smoliak, a 56-year-old medic, was killed by Russia in #Kyiv last night. Russia launched a second attack on the same building just as medics arrived to help the victims of the first attack. Deepest condolences. Four more medics were injured by the strike.

And there’s a great precedent for boycotting a major sports event because the host dictatorship is invading other countries.

100%

100% - X is beyond the pale.

Just signed the petition! Ban Xitter in Canada.

Does it make sense to continue holding massive international summits if the core of the problem—the continued use of oil, gas, and coal—continues to be systematically avoided? Read more: buff.ly/9uiSMD9

You're so right. I have no tolerance for the intolerant. Excellent article on the paradox. Thanks for posting.

Lol. So great! Also an excellent way to avoid the big phone companies.

Funny, thought it was Kevin! 🤷

Yep. Not a good look. Smile and say “Vichy”…

ICE is kidnapping tribal members of native tribes now.

Hi @hbardell.bsky.social - want to say thanks for the reposts lately! Really helps spread the word about terrible pension investments! 🙏

That’s Reichsminister Miller, to use his full title.

I talked to a vet today who wanted to get back in to the reserves, so he called them up. Apparently you age out at age 60. What a loss of experience & knowledge!

Agreed. It sounds likely that - if the plan to create a big supplemental reserve is implemented - it would have relaxed standards and entail much lower time commitment (compared to regular reserve). So older vets and others could hopefully soon still contribute that way.

Yep - for a while it’s been hard to distinguish between the US and any other autocracy. As others have pointed out, if the headlines from the US were happening in any other country, Americans would be thinking it a dictatorship.

It's not that the very worst of us wouldn't still find things to war about, it's just that it would be the end of the #1 thing we fight about #CleanEnergy #EnergyTransition #ClimateChange #Venezuela

You could easily change Iran to the United States in this Canadian PM statement posted to Facebook

This photo is even more disgusting than the first time I saw it.

this is absurd and unacceptable

…and the IDF (to assist its “war-related missions”).❄️ Two Palantir founders, Chair Peter Thiel + CEO Alex Karp, support Trump’s regime (PT mentored + backed Vance for VP).🛷 Both have scary views at odds with human rights.🎄 Our pensions will be useless if brownshirt billionaires kill democracy.☃️

December 25: BCI has ~$48.88M in Palantir Technologies Inc, the US tech giant whose AI-powered data-analysis is used by the Gestapo/ICE.🎄 In 2025 it won a $30M contract to build a platform to “streamline” immigrant identification + deportation.🔔 Other clients include the Pentagon, police depts, …

Right on! So many ways to spend $$ elsewhere than the US!!!

Indeed we must. There’s no time to lose - Canada needs to become a porcupine, fast.

Yep. With the US’s word now meaningless, can only imagine all the countries thinking about getting nukes. Japan, South Korea and Taiwan too. Nuclear proliferation = one of many ways the idiotic Trump regime is making us all less safe.

Since the👆posts, the new US NSS, attack on 🇻🇪 and threats against 🇬🇱+🇩🇰 have dialled up 🇨🇦 concerns to 11. The Economist details DND’s thinking: “Few are willing to be interviewed on the record, but it is a fact that those worst-case scenarios, however unlikely, now include incursions by America.” 34/x

I honestly thought this was about the US at first glance

The man who literally wrote the book on the use of vehicles as ramming weapons says any claim Good used hers as such is false, and that her execution, followed by the false claim, is "death squad behavior."

It's been a HELL of a week from the Trump Regime & right wing extremists. It's happening here in #Canada too with Bloomberg reporting that Scotiabank CEO Scott Thomson sees ‘Trump doctrine’ as positive for growth, as he shared at Canadian Bank CEO Conference. Time to boycott Scotiabank. #ElbowsUp

Civilians in Ukraine need us, the West, to push Russia out asap.
