🧵 The Canadian federal government’s 2025 budget has allocated: More business tax breaks including for fossil fuels sector $925 million for AI $81.8 billion over 5 years for military However, this comes at the expense of cultural heritage.

Mark Carney is giving $925 million in tax breaks to the AI industry

Today, the NDP is calling on the Carney government to implement a national ban on surveillance pricing - before it becomes a predatory new normal in Canadian life. Canadians are already being squeezed by the untenable cost of living. It’s time to stop the practice dead in its tracks.

I will never share a party with Marilyn Gladu. In 2021 she voted AGAINST a bill banning conversion therapy, when even Poilievre supported it.

When I was 12 years old I learned diabetics in the United States were being killed by Big Pharma price gouging a medicine invented by men who wanted it to be free. Diabetics suffer horrific deaths through no fault of their own in the wealthiest nation on Earth. That is why I became a socialist.

dear transgenders on this trans day of visibility, you should know i believe you can make it through these 24 hours, and tomorrow your invisibility powers shall return inshallah

On Neoliberalism: The '73 OPEC oil embargo & ensuing collapse in the rate of profit escalated class conflict in the West. Organized Labour, already weakened by McCarthyism, was crushed. Profits were restored by deregulation & austerity. Does all this sound familiar in 2026?

BREAKING: Avi Lewis has just lost the QAnon Shaman's vote!

Super proud to have been a small part of this wonderful campaign!!

Q: Why are you so supportive of Avi Lewis as leader -- Wab Kinew: I love the guy

true story

things you should probably be stockpiling if you can afford to: sugar oatmeal powdered milk cereal frozen fruit / vegetables / potatoes toiletries coffee (if sale) the war will impact groceries soon (in weeks). if you can't afford to stockpile, consider a food bank. i'm happy to share fundraisers!

HOT TAKE: Once everyone involved is at least 30, age gaps become mostly irrelevant. There are many CEOs in their early 30s, and literal millions of 50 year old minimum wage workers. We need to pay more attention to that kind of power differential, because in our classist society it enables abuse!

"Effective" "Efficient" Effective at doing what? Efficient in which particular way, and at the cost of what exactly? These are the questions capitalism conditions us not to ask, the whole time equally positioning itself as the system of boundless innovation and adaptability

just put this meme together

Insofar as voter suppression proves the real power of elections, that we are allowed to vote at all demonstrates such exercises pose little challenge to the status quo. Capitalism is not on the ballot. To solve this we must use a diversity of tactics in tandem with each other.

Almost every country oppresses its own people. The United States is unique in how it oppresses the entire world, then calls it freedom and justice. Regime change through US bombs is the opposite of liberation.

One of the best parts of this campaign is travelling the country and learning how working-class histories still shape communities today. From its mining roots to its renewal as a cultural, recreational, and ecological hub, Cumberland shows resource towns can build economies that work for all.

Isn't it interesting how the Iranians/Cubans/Venezuelans the establishment wants people to listen to are always the ones on US soil, and not the ones we're starving + bombing?

the concept of putting people in labour camps until they learn to accept freedom of speech...

Zohran upped the wages for emergency snow shovelers from $19 to $30, immediately tripling the number of workers and properly addressing the crisis Living wages work.

One of the most interesting (and overlooked) things about the Gorton & Denton byelection is the total collapse of not only Labour, but also the Tories and Libdems

YouTube's suffering a global outage? Damn, you'd think after 20 years they could figure that shit out.

having now watched AOC's speeches in Munich, one thing stands out above all others she's saying the way out of MAGA fascism is returning to Atlanticist order... the very order which not only set in motion the ongoing genocide in Gaza, but also Trumpism through its contradictions

. @votetanille.bsky.social's Indigenous reconciliation and empowerment plan is a powerful, inspiring document. It’s a vision rooted in the deep ground of First Nations, Inuit and Métis rights.

Pleased to see the jury make this decision. We need to have eyes wide open this is exactly why the Government wants to abolish juries. People protesting against a genocide are not the criminals here - it's the politicians who continue to provide cover. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed." A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends. Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.

Samuel Corner has been denied bail despite receiving no convictions in the first trial relating to the dismantling of weapons at Elbit Systems’ Bristol weapons factory. The other 5 defendants in the case have had bail granted following their acquittals on aggravated burglary 1/3

GOOD NEWS, EVERYONE!!

They're not "'young women". Not "barely legal". Children. Your idols r@ped children.

This is classic scapegoating — blaming refugees for a healthcare crisis caused by decades of underfunding and privatization. 
 These charges are cruel and punitive. We won’t fix a broken system by putting up new barriers for people who are already struggling.

Organizing works! This is a win for public pressure, and a message about the moral clarity Canadians want from politics right now. Now we need legislation to ban all Canadian companies from contracting with ICE or otherwise supporting Trump's kidnapping and deportation machine. dub.sh/cfwOL

Final day. This is our moment! From sold-out halls to a surge of endorsements, volunteers, and conversations happening coast to coast to coast, our campaign is building an antidote to despair. Join us today: https://avilewis.link/join

The Carney government's Groceries & Essentials Benefit is a bandage on a gaping wound. While this temporary measure will feed me for a time, countless disabled Canadians like myself remain in legislated poverty. We need a public option for groceries, not a gift to Galen Weston.

There are few things more ironic than "Don't tread on me" Libertarians defending masked feds disarming then killing a man for legally practicing his 2A rights.

BadEmpanada outing himself as a crypto-fascist and a colonialist. He knows the vast majority of Greenlanders are indigenous, but he doesn't give a shit. Why? Because he's a contrarian bigot with about as much self-awareness as Trump himself. Maybe he always was, hard to say.

NATO was always a protection racket run for the benefit of the US in particular and the Western world as a whole. It's just following that model to its logical conclusion now, as seen with US threats to annex Canada.

i do not want to grieve the perfect victims killed while begging for some mercy i urge you to be more brutal than the police you face have been

the empire keeps murdering our poets refaat alareer, renee nicole good with aim to burn all they had built to kill the place where gentleness meets struggle where words like justice mean something i beg of you, do not let the garden wilt as the gardeners rot be the gardener

Broke: The rules-based world order is being threatened by US action Woke: The rules-based world order was killed by MAGA Bespoke: The rules-based world order was always a smokescreen for US-NATO imperialism

It's extremely unlikely that the US will ever attempt a military invasion of Canada, for 2 reasons. 1st: Canada has a massive landmass, difficult climate, & 40 million citizens, some of whom would form militias. 2nd: It's far less costly to just keep funding Alberta separtists.

If you think Venezuela is being liberated, I have a memecoin to sell you.

What is ideology but the system(s) of thought & belief required to justify that which is rendered unjustifiable by history? For no political party or state makes itself accountable in full for its own atrocities, yet neither has any state (trans)formed without rivers of blood.

@globalnews.ca Refers to known white supremacist, Brigitte Bardot as an “icon of French cinema turned animal rights activist” Including white supremacist ideology, she condemned the MeToo movement, called African people as “degenerate savages” & supported far right politicians Fix your journalism

You know who's not in the Epstein files? Trans people. Drag queens. Everyone the far-right likes to call predators.

Thoughts On Marxism: In practice, the dictatorship of the proletariat is the gateway stage to socialism, which is the gateway stage to communism. Additionally, globalization and the collapse of the USSR combined have made socialist progression in the 21st century especially difficult.

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

people really sleep on this side of john brown i guess 'cause it fucks with their lincolnite white saviourism shit, both lincoln & many abolitionists were involved in the genocide of native americans

Bill Clinton is definitely a pedophile. So is Donald Trump. If you deny these facts, you're complicit.

why is the trolley problem bad philosophy? it's simple. effective philosophy begins by thinking as children do; taking nothing for granted, asking the why of everything. the trolley problem gives us no room to ask why. instead, it primes us to believe the lie that suffering is a fixed condition.
