PM speaks with "President of the State of Palestine". First time I've seen Canada's recognition of Palestinian statehood referenced in an official government statement. Still very far to go in bringing legal and political weight to that recognition, but that's a notable step.

Pretty jarring that if you’ve lived in Alberta recently, your home address — who you live with and so much more — has been getting handed around by end-times MAGA creeps.

Canada has just banned Iranian football officials from attending FIFA Congress in Vancouver after previously impeding the entry of the Palestinian FA. We argue for @breachmedia.ca that this is just the latest evidence of Canada's absurdly-Zionist immigration double-standards.

New Brunswick seafood processor fined $90K over workplace conditions for migrant workers The latest penalty handed to Pêcheries LeBreton follows an earlier record-breaking sanction that was quashed by the Federal Court Report by @davidgordonkoch.bsky.social nbmediacoop.org/2026/04/29/n...

Fine seems small, honestly!

Mind boggling to me that CBC's flagship radio news broadcast can do a glowing report about how a generic version of Ozempic will save people money, while managing to completely omit any mention of the Pharmacare Act, which the Liberal govt has quietly abandoned.

New Brunswick's Minister of Post-Secondary Education said "it’s the end of play time" for people struggling with student debt and intends to send private collection agencies after them and potentially garnish wages. In this economy.

Nato's just a street gang, not a defensive military alliance.

«He believes Indige-Watch would have been able to defuse the situation. Dedam would sometimes throw things when he was frustrated, which might explain why he threw the hatchet “I wish they had been there, anybody in the community that knows Iggy knows that he wouldn’t mean anybody any kind of harm”

4D chess in which Trump gradually eats all the pieces.

Very important new report in @nbmediacoop.bsky.social.

Patrice had also just stepped into the role of director and was in a ceremony at the time of the shooting. Afterwards, she said, “I look at my phone and all I see was Iggy was shot by the RCMP.” The police only called her team after the shooting to help with crowd control.

NEW: After an RCMP officer shot and killed Iggy Dedam in his home in Elsipogtog First Nation, questions swirled about why police hadn't first called Indige-Watch, the Indigenous-led peacekeeper unit in Elsipogtog First Nation. Many believe they could have saved his life.

Awful.

I don't know what’s going to happen at 8pm tonight. My hope is Trump will back off. My guess is something non-nuclear, but I dont rule nuclear out. What I do know is that unless we deal with the imbalance of power that causes 'Trumps,' disaster is inevitable. #USpoli #CDNpoli #Oligarchy #Inequality

NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants. Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare. (🎥 Al Jazeera)

I hope that people on here can conjure as much energy for the fact that Israel has 'legalized' arbitrary military 'court' death sentences for stone-throwing Palestinian children as they can for indignation at hearing the words "Free Palestine." I truly do.

A review of NB Power suggests that the province should consider another “large scale” nuclear plant alongside the current one at Point Lepreau, but it doesn’t recommend any further pursuit of small modular reactors. It could be the last nail in the coffin for the controversial technology in N.B.

He could call for nationalizing the tar sands, using the profits to fund a green transition. The Breach's Martin Lukacs (an advisor to Lewis) called for as much in this Guardian column years ago. Lewis' policy of a windfall tax seems milquetoast in comparison. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Honestly just call for expropriation and mandatory trade union councils. What are the media and politicians going to do to you that they won’t do now?

Jason Kenney had no problem when Orbán engaged in naked antisemitism, or scapegoated queer and trans people, or when he was the most corrupt leader in Europe and impoverished Hungary, but going after Ukrainians is a bridge too far for him.

Legislation aiming to create a right to a healthy environment in New Brunswick was defeated on Thursday, with the Conservatives joining Premier Susan Holt’s Liberal government in voting against the Green Party initiative. Full report:

The company behind a proposed gas-burning power plant in southeast New Brunswick faced heavy scrutiny on Wednesday night in Elsipogtog First Nation. Dozens of local residents attended the community meeting, many of them expressing strong opposition to ProEnergy’s proposed facility.

Premier Susan Holt won’t say whether she will allow Liberal MLAs a free vote on a Green Party bill meant to create a right to a healthy environment in New Brunswick. Bill 23 is slated for second reading in the Legislative Assembly tomorrow.

Free contraception remains an unfulfilled election promise for Premier Susan Holt’s Liberals. The provincial budget doesn’t include any money towards universal birth control coverage, but it's "the number one priority for family planning providers,” says the New Brunswick Abortion Care Network.

There’s moments in history you witness that you cognitively understand the clear reasons why it’s happening but still struggle seeing it anyway. Our whole world abandoning Cuba to the hands of the US stranglehold is one of those moments. After everything they’ve done, no one stands up. Disgraceful.
