Just days into 2026, the killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has sparked protests around the US. If you’re planning to protest, here’s how to safeguard your digital security.

In 2024, I rose in Senate QP to ask why the Govt of Canada was still using X for official communications. Today, they are still there. What exactly will it take to break the spell?

The American government is at war with it's own citizens.

Actions the Carney gov should take: 1. At minimum, divestment of X/Twitter. Ideally, demands for X to enforce against sexual abuse/exploitation, or else be banned nationwide. 2. Condemnation of US threats against allies and trade partners, meetings with threatened allies to deepen ties. (cont)

THREAD: The ceasefire isn’t stopping Israel from committing genocide in Gaza. Here’s how Israel is still killing Palestinians.

⭕️ The UN human rights office has released a major thematic report on Jan. 7, 2026 concluding that Israel’s rule over the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, amounts to a system of racial segregation and apartheid under international law. The report documents decades of discriminatory...

“The United States has dropped from 30th to 48th in that same year, the biggest drop of any nation BY FAR. Its reputation-peers are now Kuwait, Algeria, Kazakhstan…” That was last year. I can only imagine where the US reputation is now. The fastest destruction of a nation’s reputation in history?

With everything awful & scary going on in the United States & the world, we might momentarily forget that here in Canada, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre STILL REFUSES to apply for the normal security clearance that EVERYONE else in his position has. It’s reasonable to assume he can’t pass it.

It was a mistake to allow a single outlet to monopolize Canadian print media and it was an even bigger mistake to allow it under foreign ownership. Now that the US is proven hostile to Canada's interest, it time to break apart and reclaim Canada's print media.

Fossil fuels are the past.. literally ;-)

Today #yyccc is learning about the reasons behind the Bearspaw Feedermain pipe break. One key factor is #yyc's urban sprawl & low density growth. This comes as Council looks to repeal blanket rezoning. Will Mayor @jeromyyyc.bsky.social or anyone else on council reconsider their decision now?

Colleague Jo Horwood and I tried to find out, how many books were pulled off Alberta school shelves as a result of the gov't order? And what books were they? Turns out, the names of the books are a secret #AbLeg #AbEd www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Trump's illegal intervention is Venezuelia is largely par for the course. The US has never shown much respect for Latin American sovereignty or self-determination. The difference now is that it doesn't respect anyone else's either inews.co.uk/opinion/trum...

No kidding. The TFW program wasn’t conceived or designed to ensure workers are treated fairly. Or even well. That’s not the mandate. The explicit purpose of the program, as described by the government itself, is to supply employers with labour. Full stop.

We’ve just received word that other tribes in Alberta will be following suit. Treaties are unbreakable law and the Alberta separatists can go and eat a nice shit sandwich. #Alberta www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

New research out of McGill University found that over a 10-year period, crime reports remained stable or declined in neighbourhoods where supervised consumption sites opened. www.mcgill.ca/newsroom/cha...

The Trump doctrine exposes the US as a mafia state #Corruption #Authoritarian #Dictator www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

They've never been the good guys. The US has intervened successfully to change governments in Latin America a total of at least 41 times, with direct intervention occurring in 17 of the 41 cases. What is unprecedented however is the brazenness, the unabashedly predatory nature of the intervention.

In a residential Minneapolis neighbourhood, protesters yell at military-clad authorities who just shot a woman: "You gonna shoot someone else and kill 'em?" “You gonna murder someone else?" “Come on. Kill us all. You can’t kill us all. You can’t kill us all, Nazis. You can't kill us all.”

Imagine if we made these repeat collision sites safer. Great visual of what we could be doing on Denver’s Vision Zero site. denvergov.org/Government/C...

Maybe it's smart that Mark Carney is keeping his cards close to his chest, but if he's going to keep talking like an unemotional banker in public about our neighbour's coups and invasion threats, he needs to appoint a Minister of Speaking from the Heart To Make Canadians Feel Safe and Secure.

I've been well aware of this reality for years but I was still shocked to learn some time ago that 40 PERCENT of freight shipping is fossil fuels

Alberta can no longer be considered a safe place to invest, and the reason can be summed up in two words: ‘Danielle Smith’ albertapolitics.ca/2026/01/albe... #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #geopolitics

I’m stealing “you have to navigate a veritable gauntlet of cycling punishment” to describe the Halifax side of our bridge bike lane. Also, screaming into a pillow as I contemplate what it’s like to have a mayor who cares and does stuff to make things better.

"It's a public safety emergency." We're seeing a public safety emergency play out right now and what that looks like. Where are the emergency restrictions? The expedited infrastructure projects? The rapid, targeted, adapted solutions? The regular updates, info sharing, accountability?

NEW: A podcaster accused of harassing a former AHS director said he was hired by an Edmonton lawyer, court docs show. That lawyer has ties to Sam Mraiche, who owns companies at the centre of Alberta's procurement controversy. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic... By @tuthanhha.bsky.social

The word of the day is: #autogolpe. It's a self-coup, through which an elected leader seizes power, neuters or dissolves the legislature, and subverts the Constitution. That term seems relevant these days, don't you think? #Resist #NoWar Gift Article: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/06/o...

NEW: Hundreds of public servants are being let go at federal agencies that monitor climate risks, @natashabulowski.bsky.social reports

Mark "Decarbonized Oil" Carney has quickly become one of the primary sources of climate dis- and mis-information in #Canada.

WAKE UP AMERICA!

“Sturgeon Lake claims the Alberta government engaged in a “conspiracy” with secessionists by passing Bill 54, which lowered the threshold for citizen initiatives, and Bill 14, passed in the wake of Feasby’s finding” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

And they say bike lanes and walkability are social engineering.

Albertans, this no longer is fun and games. It never was. What seemed unreal, with separatists’ aid, is now reality. ”In this context, Canadians must acknowledge the real risk that Mr. Trump will use military coercion against our country.” Support Forever-Canadian.ca in any way you can. #ableg

I don't think this is getting the attention it deserves in broader North American Bsky discourse. Edmonton is doing incredible things and has some of the most ambitious zoning reforms on the continent!

“Perhaps the greatest failure of the last 10 years has been finance.” In an interview with TIME, Sir David King explores the successes and shortcomings of the Paris Agreement, and what we must do now to accelerate climate action. Read the full interview: time.com/7340848/pari...

"We stand with Ukraine, we stand with Crimea, our closest partnership is with Russia, and we'll work with everybody to make sure we move forward together." See how stupid this sounds?

WTF?

Make 2026 the year you stop talking about climate change and instead talk about ecological overshoot. Warning: This article might challenge some of your deeply held assumptions. www.artberman.com/blog/ecomode...

Fossil fuels were given over $7 TRILLION in subsidies last year: buff.ly/s6Nzgw3 That's $19.2 billion per day, $799 million per hour, $13.3 million every minute. The first step in addressing the problem is to stop funding it. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #panelsnotpipelines @cdnpoli

I don’t see it as a competition… it’s hopefully a tipping point, and a powerful potential collaboration and mutual inspiration between @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social in New York City, @wutrain.bsky.social in Boston, @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social in Seattle & many more mayors to come. City leadership.

Update #18 6am Jan 5 Overnight, our water use slipped further into the redzone. Without changes, we'll enter loss-of-life territory, where firefighting and emergency response may be compromised. This is serious. Reducing use now protects lives and keeps essential services running. Please conserve.

Jan. 5, 8:30 a.m. Update Here is the latest update on the critical water main break along 16 Ave. N.W.: 🚨 On Jan. 4, our water use reached 510 ML which is 25 ML higher than what our treatment plants can provide each day while repairs are made.
