Congratulations to the Honourable Louise Arbour, who will serve as Canada’s 31st Governor General.

The government should be protecting our public airports, not selling them off for parts. History is littered with examples of the failures of privatization. It drives up costs for the public, quality suffers, and workers always end up paying the price.

A review by CBC's The Fifth Estate found millions of $$ in tax-deductible donations from Cdn charities are sent to Israel, supporting Israeli military & settlements in the West Bank that are illegal under international law. The review explained these transactions violate Cdn tax laws. Donors unaware

Yes! "Fundamentally, this is a government that sees private profit as synonymous with the common good and believes that safeguarding the interests of corporate investors should be the preeminent concern of public policy," writes @lukewsavage.bsky.social. #CdnPoli 🎁 www.thestar.com/gift-redeem?...

"If local governments are going to exist at all, if local elections are going to have any meaning, there has to be some space for municipalities to act independently from the province." #ONpoli www.tvo.org/article/anal...

This is unconscionable. I’ll put my phone in airplane mode to beat this Saw it at No Frills- price on a digital display changed before my eyes. Thought I was hallucinating. Apparently not! I’ll be avoiding stores w digital pricing. Looking at you #Loblaws theconversation.com/your-browsin...

None of this makes us stronger in the face of U.S. aggression. It makes us WEAKER. This is exactly what Trump et. al. want us to do. Trump's Atlas Network friends are already attacking the concept of public healthcare in general here. Their end game sees us become the U.S., under the banner of...

While climate science warns us that avoiding climate tipping points is now or never, & economic evidence keeps showing us the climate crisis is every bit as much an economic risk as an environmental one, public investment in climate arson is NOT in the national interest. bsky.app/profile/sust...

Breaking: #Canada's government launches strange #sovereign wealth fund with general taxpayer money while running massive budgetary deficit. Fund will invest in building new Canadian infrastructure including energy projects. TLDR: Misguided and a boondoggle. Thread 🧵 www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

Canadas Strong Fund 🇨🇦

Economist Jim Stanford: "The gold standard for a sovereign wealth fund is not just to have money to invest, it's to use it as a tool to transform and diversify the economy ... the ultimate goal of this should not be to just help a private project get going."

A sovereign wealth fund is a great idea, Canada should have had one years ago. But the devil is in the details. What kind of projects will it invest in, and in what form? And how will the public interest truly be advanced over time? Many questions to be answered... #cdnecon /2

1/ WOW. Doug Ford is going to expropriate MORE land near the Island Airport. So, far it's 1/3 of Norway Park but more is expected to be taken. The expropriation & removal of Toronto from the Tripartite agreement will happen when the Building Billy Bishop Act is passed. tinyurl.com/pjbuvve6

What racist genocidal colonizers do. And this is to a Jewish person. And the “investigation” will go nowhere, as all such Israeli investigations do. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Canada’s failure to uphold international law, including the protection of journalists, is shameful. Canada must impose sanctions on Netanyahu now and suspend CIFTA. ONLY pressure from the global community will stop these violations and endless impunity.

The horrific killing by Israel of Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil is a clear war crime. Israel was responsible for two-thirds of all press killings globally in 2025 & 2024. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

The brother of federal Industry Minister, Mélanie Joly, is the president and CEO of Intelcom, a courier company that exploits subcontracted delivery drivers for pennies per package. It stands to benefit mightily from the dismantlement and privatization of public postal services in Canada.

After seeing the aftermath of Abdul El-Sayed asking Olivia Reingold what she meant by a Jewish state, I became convinced it's a question that should be asked more often. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Canada Post workers start voting on tentative agreements today amidst major changes to the postal service and mixed signals from their union. For @pressprogress.ca I broke down what’s in the agreements and why some CUPW leaders are encouraging workers to vote 'no' pressprogress.ca/canada-post-...

The foreign psyops operation to promote the Donbas-style traitors in Ottawa is at work. This has Brexit style interference all over it. Will the government take steps to shut down the foreign threats to our nation? deanblundell.substack.com/p/breaking-c...

#CBCNews #StatsCanada focusing on the top 20% doesn't begin to scratch the surface of how bad wealth inequality is in Canada. In fact the 0.5% hold over 20% of the national net wealth. www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

"Just days after announcing plans to buy a private jet, Ontario Premier Doug Ford says the province will now move to sell its newly acquired plane, acknowledging concerns about the timing and cost of the purchase." ... so he'd already bought it when he announced plans to buy it? That's our Doug!

The deeply corrupt Doug Ford NOW says it's not the right time to buy himself a gravy plane? Why was it the right time last week? This guy has to go. BTW, I will keep asking: Where is the #RCMP inquiry into Ford's #Greenbelt corruption?? www.sootoday.com/local-news/n...

Today, Ontario's Education Minister said teachers are telling him to "keep it up". I doubt they support firing teachers, cutting supports for high-needs schools, gutting special education, and paying Conservative-appointed supervisors $350k/year. #onpoli globalnews.ca/news/1176811...

Canada’s left-leaning New Democratic Party has elected a new leader, Avi Lewis, whose campaign drew comparisons to the politics and style of Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Zohran Mamdani.

Wise words from Spain's Prime Minister: “The momentary relief cannot make us forget the chaos, the destruction, and the lives lost. The govt of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket. What is needed now: diplomacy, international law and PEACE.”

I really need Liberal supporters to explain to me why they think it’s good that they’re letting a homophobic anti vaxxer who supported the Freedom Convoy BS, into the Liberal party. #Cdnpoli

Gee, given Big Dumb Doug Ford’s demonstrated propensities for cronyism, d’ya think there’s a reason he’s contracting out the management of his shiny new public investment fund despite the stellar examples of our famous Maple Eight pension funds staring him in the face? 🤷🏼🧐🤷🏼

This is so bad, so wrong, so scary. "Elbows down" for the environment, eh! O'Leary, the tech bros & Dani, rejoice!! www.nationalobserver.com/2026/04/06/n...

Kara Ford is now the sixth-highest earner at the Runnymede Healthcare Centre, with a salary of $211,468

This has been an absolute, total, disaster in Britain. Doug Ford hasn't made his case, to anyone. Not to you, the citizen. Not to the legislature. It is also the sort of project that once embarked on is difficult to undo. #onpoli #cdnpoli thepointer.com/article/2026...

Oh dear. The New York Times clever headline about NATO is entirely based on them getting its name wrong 😐 The A doesn’t stand for America, dudes.

It looks like we might see a replay of the contest between Bruce Fanjoy and Pierre Poilievre in the Carleton riding next election. Apparently, Damien Kurek wants his seat back. Pierre hasn't committed to a rerun but a possible contender has stepped aside. ottawacitizen.com/news/blair-t... #cdnpoli

If the project is entirely powered by natural gas it will set Canada back 20 years in carbon emissions reductions and wipe out the reductions gained by phasing out coal, according to Will Noel, senior analyst with the Pembina Institute's electricity team. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/04/03/n...
