How Canada accidentally built the soul of Star Wars out of literal garbage

FACT CHECK: No, Pierre Poilievre. This man isn’t facing a $750,000 fine for simply saying ‘there are two genders.’ Once you read the actual B.C. Human Rights Tribunal decision, you might find Poilievre’s defence of this “truth” and “free speech” chilling and, well, indefensible:

100%. In an era of hybrid warfare, it is more than ever a matter of national defence that Canada not allow foreign corporations or governments to own & operate Canadian media. If this matters to you, then sign the petition & let's get this rolling. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

The National Post is owned by a right wing American hedge fund. They are the official opposition to all things Canadian. While US governors and tourism operators cry out about the Canadian boycott, the Post promotes the few quislings who would sell our country out. A parcel of rogues in a nation.

There’s an AI-powered conspiracy machine selling ‘Truthwear’ merch to Canadians, and my friends at the National Observer unmasked the person profiting from this account. The story shows what happens when people are given incentives to publish fake information, at scale, all with the help of AI:

10 years ago Mark Carney warned about the "existential threat" posed by climate catastrophe and the need to move from fossil fuel burning. Now he is using Stephen Harper's lines about becoming an "energy super power." This is a powerful analysis on the MOU. markhamhislop.substack.com/p/the-pipeli...

Canada should be focused on nation-building. Instead we are getting sucked into a needless pipeline war to appease Moe and Danielle Smith. If the PM tries to kill the tanker ban without consulting BC premier Eby or First Nations he will be in for the fight of his life. And he will lose.

🚨NEWS: NDP Leadership Candidate Tony McQuail had a message for his donors on my podcast today: Don't send him any more money, for now. Send it to fellow candidate @votetanille.bsky.social until she raises enough to survive the next cut off. Watch as Tony made news (and almost made us all cry):

The loudest voices yelling "Canada is Broken!" never seem to bring receipts. So I brought my own, and posted them online at CanadaIsNotBroken.org #canada #cdnpoli

Alberta's government is engaged in something I can only describe as psychopathic politics. What else do you call it when a government so set on pushing ahead with policies that WILL cause more trans youth to try to leave us? When they'll trample on the charter to hurt these kids? It's disturbing:

So is Mark Carney going to go along with the suspension of human rights by MAGA government in Alberta? You cant' do nation-building by allowing an autocratic government to suspend the charter rights of citizens. Just say no Mark. it's pretty straightforward. www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

When Canada elected JD Vance’s old buddy to Parliament, you had to know he’d get up to some weird shit. Conservative MP Jamil Jivani hasn’t disappointed. Most recently, he sent an invitation to the other MPs on the Hill for his event to “end Liberal racism.” I got my hands on the invite:

Mark Carney is about to announce more of his “elbows up” major projects. But under the surface, one that’s being sold as an Indigenous-led LNG project is actually — spoiler — American as hell. That’s not even the worst part! @emilylowan.bsky.social joined me to discuss:

Budgets are stories. And the hardest beat is when the next chapter asks us to let go.

Angus: Canada is reconsidering that relationship with China. Why? Because we can no longer trust the US. And we know that we have 150, maybe more, Canadians in custody at ICE detention centers. We had two Canadians under Chinese custody and it caused a huge outcry. We now have over 150 in the US.

You don’t need power to make change. You just need people. Let's build a movement, Canada. #HealthcareInfusion

When the Michigan governor demanded the return of a man who escaped slavery, #Canada refused. That moment helped define our national identity. Now, as laws shift and borders stiffen, I wonder: are we still that safe harbour? www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhVZ...

Every country gets one voice. And we’re listening.

A lot of folks who made "free speech" their whole bit have made it exceptionally clear that the only speech they care about keeping "free" is their own and that of those who think exactly like them

America didn’t send us their best. They sent us Chucklehead.

Canada’s government is focused on what matters: making sure an Irish rap group with a history of controversial commentary can’t play their music in Canada. Meanwhile, our government still refuses to address the actual genocide that band Kneecap has been vocally opposing:

Hey #Nanaimo, me and Jocelyn run a Discord server full of American healthcare workers willing to move to the Island. If any of you are PARENTS and would be willing to answer questions for them, please join the Discord server at b.link/canadadiscord and put "NANAIMO PARENT" in the "Profession" field

It's time to repeal Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code. Free collective bargaining is a fundamental right. Section 107 is a backdoor to kneecapping that right. It tips the scales against workers, against fairness, and against democracy itself.

Jesus Christ. A standing ovation — from Liberals too — for Charlie Kirk in the Canadian House of Commons. You can (and should) oppose political violence without doing all this, you know.

Hi. I’m Rachel. My name is first on the website the North American far-right is using to target people they say “celebrated” Charlie Kirk’s death. There’s just one problem: I never did that. But the people sending me threats don’t seem to care. Let me tell you, in my own words, what happened:

One thing that kinda blows my mind: I spoke to national French-language media all morning about this. I did three separate interviews before 10am. I was interviewed for the U.S. publication WIRED about it. But English-language Canadian media? Crickets. It’s just so odd!

At least one Canadian female influencer was misrepresented by a sitting MP and the Leader of the Opposition’s wife and now is getting death, r*pe, etc threats non stop. Scheer needs an ethics investigation. An MP endangering wrongly a citizen??? No no. @mark-carney.bsky.social #cdnpoli #beBetter

The official Canadian Petition to reign in payment processor censorship has stalled out just under 10k signatures. This is a reminder for Canadians, this is an OFFICIAL petition that will be responded to. Show your support in protecting our free speech! www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

the website that lists Rachel first as someone allegedly celebrating Kirk's murder screenshots a tweet where she explicitly condemns violence & says she hopes he survives. for that she's receiving death & rape threats

there should be consequences for andrew scheer for targeting rachel like this

This is what happens.

Hi. I know I've said this before, but it bears repeating: we have to be able to criticize Mark Carney without living in fear that doing so will help Poilievre or weaken Canada. He is our Prime Minister. Out of anyone, he deserves to be watched and critiqued. We should all be dying on this hill.

Chill Out people there no need to Boycott Crown Royal. They still will mash, distil and bottle in Canada. What they are moving to the USA is the Bottling volume meant for USA sales. A boycott will hurt Canadians in Manitoba, Ontario & Québec. 1/2
