This is not ‘elbows up’, nor is it negotiation. It is capitulation. My heart goes out to the members of Unifor. You deserve a better government. #cdnpoli #unifor #ndp @avilewis.ca @lewisforleader.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Peace in Gaza is one step closer to realization!!!

Every LIBERAL. Every NDP. Every Bloc. Elizabeth May. All rightfully voted against an authoritarian motion that violates so much Charter rights it’s an abomination. Never forget this. If the CPC gets power, we’re in big trouble. #cdnpoli

The structure of the 🇨🇦/🇺🇸 trade file terrifies me. 🇺🇸 is trying to bankrupt 🇨🇦.The 🇺🇸is waging economic warfare—creating the conditions for annexation. PP is only fanning populist flames. The proletarian class can be dangerous. This is a dire time for 🇨🇦. #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

The only sane—human species preserving—response to the climate crisis is to leave it (oil and natural gas) in the ground.

Even CTV has written about it, and the many complaints that civil society already has about Carney's government: www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

Here is the Prime Minister’s statement on the recognition of Palestinian statehood. www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/stat...

Here are a few photos from yesterday’s Draw the Line March in Ottawa. #cdnpoli

Canada recognizes Palestinian statehood! Yes, it was announced in advance; yes, it is mainly symbolic; yes, there are persuasive moral and political arguments supporting recognition of a Palestinian state; yes, it is wonderful when something good happens. #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Sometimes, when something really really needs to be said, @lindamcquaig.bsky.social just says it so well. archive.today/q35Kr

Canada's true crisis is the everyday emergency of just trying to get by in an impossible economy. I’m running for NDP leader so we can transform a system rigged for the rich—together. We need a government that serves the many, not the money. Join in. lewisforleader.ca/ youtu.be/IVy99oiYszY

It will be interesting to see what sort of funding is in the budget, and where it is said to come from. In a perfect world, the new spending won’t be used to justify austerity measures. Alas, this is not a perfect world. #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

An annoying thing that demonstrates that perhaps I am an idiot: recording a quasi-brilliant lecture on Descartes, only to realize that my mic was muted from the third minute mark onwards.

Kirk was a man who spewed vitriolic hatred. He was killed both by and for an expression of that hatred. Neither Kirk’s particularly loathsome brand of hatred, nor the ignominious actions of his killer should be celebrated. It is below the dignity of Parliament.

He advocated the most hateful sentiments in the most vitriolic ways. He also advocated for gun violence. In a moral system that consistently applies a principle of justice, one reaps what one sows. We validated his toxic views; his end is direct realization of those views.

Absolutely—a coordinated sell of of US T bills would force interest rates to climb, thus plunging to US into a simultaneous debt crisis and recession.

The US leader really needs to learn the use and function of upper-case letters.

So the gist is an ultimatum: 🇨🇦 becomes the 51st state or it faces a 35% tariff. The sane response: (a) expel the US ambassador, (b) cease all export of goods to the US, and (c) immediately get French and British nuclear weapons on Canadian soil. #cdnpoli #elbowsup www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Here’s the thing: no country—the US included—imports raw materials because they like the exporter; countries import the raw materials their industry needs because there is insufficient domestic supply. #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Well this is utterly horrific www.cbc.ca/news/world/t...

The USA cannot bomb three high end research facilities in Iran and then unilaterally declare peace. It doesn’t work like that. If a provisional cessation of outright hostilities obtains, it will most certainly not develop into a lasting peace. www.cbc.ca/news/world/i...

Carney’s statement is alright, I guess. I would not have minded some language that was critical of 🇺🇸’s military strike. I also find it vaguely reminiscent of colonialism when a developed country attempts to dictate what another nation can have or what actions it should take. #cdnpoli

Not content with merely tanking the US economy, Trump decides to damage the global economy. 20% of the global supply of oil ships through the Strait of Hormuz. In response to 🇺🇸, Iran has voted to close the Strait, thus putting a choke-point in global trade routes. www.axios.com/2025/06/22/i...

When, where, and what form will Iran’s retribution take? Trump just made the USA the primary target of Iranian state-backed terrorism for the next decade. #Iran #USA

Today’s bike ride put another 27 km behind me. All my rides are training for the Great Cycle Challenge. My goal is to bike 400 km in August, in order to raise money to find a cure for children’s cancers. #🇨🇦 #ottawa #cycling #greatcyclechallenge #canadasky greatcyclechallenge.ca/Riders/Rober...

The USA will end up plunging into this abyss. www.cbc.ca/news/world/i...

One can bank on Trump doing the wrong thing in any given circumstance. It wouldn’t surprise me if America directly involved its military in the war between Iran and Israel. If America does get involved, it will take one step closer to the abyss. #usa #iran #isreal www.cbc.ca/news/world/i...

This new Canada that does substantive things on the international stage is one which I quite like. Carney charactered these latest Canadian actions as an expression of ‘total solidarity with Ukraine, with the Ukrainian people.’ #cdnpoli #canada #canadasky www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

I am participating in the Great Cycle Challenge. My aim is to bike 400 km, in the month of August. All money raised will go towards finding a cure for children’s cancers. I am riding in honour of my mom, Dianne Luzecky, who died of cancer on June 10, 2019. greatcyclechallenge.ca/Riders/Rober...

1/ Here are a few bleak thoughts about the decline of the American hegemony, and the ‘no kings’ protests. I hate to be as cynical to observe that mass protests only work if some element of government actually gives a shit about anything the population of political subjects does.

The killings in Minnesota are the stochastic expression of the pathological violence that defines the contemporary American Lebenswelt. www.cbc.ca/news/world/m...

Here is today’s bike ride. It was lovely. #cycling #GreatCycleChallengeCanada

One cannot help but recognize that with the deployment of marines in LA—America’s 2nd largest city—, some sort of rubicon has been crossed. #usa #cbc #LA #ICE-protests #immigration #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/world/l...

Odd how unprecedented explicit threats to our sovereignty cause people to join the military.

If the government was looking to cancel the F-35 contract in favour of a European fighter jet, this report would provide good justification for the decision.

It is suggested that sending the marines into LA has instigated minor acts of violence. The reality is far more ominous. This is the occupation of a major US city by marines for an indeterminate time period. This is the realization of imperium. Freedom is dead in 🇺🇸 #uspoli #cdnpoli #LA #ICE

The announcement that 🇨🇦 will meet its 2% NATO commitment is quite heartening. Also, we will join the ‘rearm Europe’ plan. 🇨🇦 and 🇪🇺 will be ready when 🇺🇸formally becomes an authoritarian state. #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

PM Carney is incredibly clear-eyed about the future: ‘Rising great powers are now in strategic competition with America. A new imperialism threatens. Middle powers compete for interests and attention, knowing that if they are not at the table, they will be on the menu.’ #cdnpoli #canada #elbowsup

Straight up, Greta Thunberg is an inspiration in a world sorely in need of those who are unafraid to stand up for what is right. #GretaThunberg #cdnpoli #Gaza www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Well this is utterly idiotic.

The situation in LA appears to be rapidly deteriorating. The military is a blunt instrument that should never be used against a civilian population. These are the actions of an authoritarian. I fear deeply for the safety of the protestors. #LA #ICE #USpoli www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It look like shit is going to get really real in LA. Military being deployed against a civilian population is never a good sign. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Way too many Canadian accounts robo-posting american shit news and the nazi that leads them. I don't want to see it and I only fucking care about our country! Here's the best Canadian thing ever 🇨🇦

Surely this is entirely too on the nose to pass for witty; nonetheless, I find it quite difficult to imagine a more perfect compliment to Marx’s critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Law than Conflict’s album There Must be Another Way. #marx

The Canadian government should just do the right thing and expel the obnoxious US ambassador and demand one who is less pestilent. #cdnpoli

Here is the entirety of the King delivering the speech from the Throne to open the 45th parliament of Canada. Canada shall remain strong and free. #cdnpoli #canadasky #canada

Among the (many) reasons for Canada participating in European rearmament is a tacit acknowledgment that someday—perhaps quite soon—America may very well go full Gilead. On that day, Canada will stand ready to oppose it. #cdnpoli #canada #canadasky #TheHandmaidsTale
