There is a tendency to often think the city you live in has the most terrible politics. Then you read something like this and realize it's also bad elsewhere. Yikes!

“With LNG markets facing uncertainty, global markets facing oversupply, and projected prices in flux, any new project carries a risk of being unable to recover invested capital," says I4PC's Michael Sambasivam. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/02/26/n...

"This is Europe’s new reality: under water in winter, withered in summer. Yet even as the weather extremes worsen, the voices of denial have grown louder and more influential." Check out the photos in this piece. www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

“The Alberta electricity company Capital Power, which is developing a large new AI data centre in the province powered by natural gas, lobbied the federal Mark Carney government dozens of times last year to eliminate clean energy regulations.” “These regulations were subsequently dropped.”

1/ Ray Guardia is an NDP legend. For over 30 years, he has been a close advisor to the last five party leaders, run winning campaigns, & held many senior roles. He worked closely with Jack & helped orchestrate the Orange Wave in Quebec, bringing the federal party to its electoral high-water mark.

The feds quietly released the 2030 #SustainableJobs Action Plan this week as required under the Sustainable Jobs Act. At a glance it reads like a press release for the government's current economic agenda, hoping to find some genuine new policies for advancing pro-worker climate action...

The cult of leadership is a failed model. That’s why our campaign made the deliberate choice to launch with bold solutions that address the everyday emergencies facing Canadians. Because this campaign isn’t about Avi — it’s about all of us. This is how we build power and win. #cdnpoli #NDP

Honoured to join some of Canada’s top public healthcare advocates in endorsing my friend Avi Lewis for leader. His leadership in the House of Commons is exactly the prescription this country needs for a more sustainable healthcare system, economy, environment and future.

From Re.Climate: 70% of public would feel pride if 🇨🇦 were to become a *renewable* energy superpower vs only 30% who feel that way about being an oil & gas superpower. From poll with Abacus: Climate change remains a top concern, & Canadians expect action from leaders. reclimate.ca/canadians-wa...

Investing in the public sector can grow the economy to benefit all and is critical to private sector growth senior economist Iglika Ivanova told the @LeftEasttoWest podcast. And increasing revenue—not focusing on the deficit—makes life more affordable.

Local governments across Canada face a wave of “larger scale conspiracy theories” overwhelming council meetings, according to Zoe Grams, executive director of Climate Caucus. This has led some politicians to avoid mentioning certain topics altogether www.nationalobserver.com/2026/02/25/n...

ABC Councillor falsely accuses colleagues of drug crimes. Feel very much like ABC has merely apologized for getting caught. They should show more integrity. via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/News/2026/02...

Made the mistake of tuning into some of Trump's SOTU. Watching him attack the Somali community was like listening to Hitler talk about Jews. Dehumanizing poison. And watching all those Republicans giving it a standing ovation was sickening. This is not a regime we should want anything to do with.

With municipal elections coming up in six Canadian provinces in 2026, experts warn that “cyborg propaganda” tools could reduce campaigns to battles between humans ventriloquised by chatbots. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/02/24/i...

I’m grateful for the support of four remarkable physicians who have been on the frontlines of defending and expanding our cherished public healthcare system. They know building healthy communities includes climate action, social and economic justice, and tackling inequality at its roots.

If you're trying to make sense of all the different cuts/changes in this week's BC Budget, check out the recording from yesterday's BC Policy Solutions webinar with myself, @verosioufi.bsky.social & special guest @svenbiggs.bsky.social. @bcpolicy.bsky.social #bcpoli 👇 bcpolicy.ca/budget2026-webinar

Some like to defend austerity measures by citing the growing provincial debt. But don't get swayed by big numbers with no context. @iglikaivanova.bsky.social puts BC's debt in perspective:

#BCBudget2026 especially affects health care in rural and northern communities. Senior economist Iglika Ivanova joins a BC Health Coalition webinar to discuss what budget cuts could mean for emergency services and local economies. Feb 26, 6:30 PM PT us02web.zoom.us/webi...

1/ Danielle Smith’s address was a chilling moment that recalls some of the ugliest anti-immigration chapters of our country’s history. This is what demagogues do: pit the public against the most vulnerable and blame them for the very crises their austerity policies have created. dub.sh/NmXJBRq

2/ Immigrants aren't to blame for Alberta's crumbling healthcare system, overcrowded classrooms, and strained social services — Danielle Smith and the UCP are.

Happening today at 5pm PT / 8pm ET. See you there!
