Carney’s deal with Danielle Smith is the sellout of the century: scrapping climate legislation for a pipeline that will never be built. We need powerlines, not pipelines. Our path is through climate leadership & building good jobs in the clean economy.

Genuinely feels like there's been a coup within the Liberal party thanks to Carney and his bros. Not to say Trudeau's Liberals were much better (they bought a pipeline!) but Carney is a full-blown red tory and I'm shocked more Liberals aren't outraged their party has been usurped like this.

I feel a lot of pundits and social media warriors are so intent on finding proof of pedophiles on the other side of the fense, that they miss the bigger picture. This transcends left vs right. From what I’ve seen so far, there are three big issues here, and they are both separate and interrelated.

Let’s assume, for argument’s sake, that, at some point in the future, all jobs are going to done by AI and automation. How do we rewrite our economic systems to set that up in a manner where EVERYONE’s basic needs are met, at the very least?

Are universities still academic institutions, or have they become glorified vocational institutions to feed the hungry maws of industry?

I just listened to the Prime Minister of Barbados, Mia Amor Mottley, address the UN, and when you compare the speech of the president of the most powerful and influential country in the world to that of the PM of a tiny island nation with 100th of population, your head wants to break.

Have they left yet?

A failure of the healthcare system - big time! www.waterloohealthcoalition.org/post/too-man... Nearly 300,000 Ontarians left emergency rooms without treatment last year! What are you doing about it, @f0rdfoundation.bsky.social and Sylvia Jones?? 😠

You know who would have recognized and treated sepsis? Any of the thousands of foreign qualified physicians deemed not up to ‘Canadian standards’ who are driving taxis and working in admin jobs in Canada. The jingoism in our healthcare is strong and misplaced. We need to start questioning it.

Meanwhile, Doug Ford is trying to get workers back in the office full-time again. Why isn’t he rather working on keeping businesses operating full-time in Ontario?

DO NOT PUT CHILDREN ON TV TALKING ABOUT A SHOOTING THEY JUST LIVED THROUGH The media who do this are heartless bastards

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.

Picking an audiobook to listen to while I’m preparing dinner. Narrowed it down to @naomiaklein.bsky.social The Shock Doctrine, or @scalzi.com When the Moon Hits Your Eye. Fast forward 45 minutes and instead of being entertained or amused, I am so mad I’m ready to burn things down!

Grabbing my handbag in the street is one thing, but sorry, if you break into my house while my family and I are at home, all bets are off. There is no ‘disproportionate’ force against an armed home invader.

One of the first things you learn studying international law is how little the US respects it - quite remarkable. For example: You can see in raw numbers how few international conventions it is a state party to. eg: The US is the only UN member that has not ratified the Child Convention.

Mayor Brandon Scott has reduced crime in Baltimore by 62%, and now has the lowest homicide rate in Baltimore history. How did he do it? NOT be spending more on police. He did it by MAJOR investment in afterschool and literacy programs. Socialism works

I’ve got a million things I should be doing (looking for a job because ugh… Conestoga College… being one of them) and instead I’m pondering the influence of Central and South American colonization on traditional cuisines around the world.

Where is ‘Elbows Up’ Carney? #CdnPoli #ElbowsUp @mark-carney.bsky.social

I recently read @richardosman1.bsky.social ‘We Solve Murders’ and absolutely loved it. I’m now halfway through ‘The Thursday Murder Club’ and it laugh-out-loud delightful, witty, charming, and oh so clever. 10/10 - Recommend!

People who voted for this have a hole in their soul. They don’t realize that when all the immigrants have been deported, LGBTQ folks are back in the closet, women are obedient trad-wives, and the world is run by straight white Christian men, that hole will still be there - as big and empty as ever.

I’ve seen video of hundreds of peaceful protest all day, all over the US. Pretty sure the news will be dominated by footage of three incidents of violence that occurred, if not today, then sometime in the last decade or so, and if not in the USA, then somewhere, to showcase the violent riots.

Yeah, we know. It was never about legal or illegal immigration. It has always been about the colour of the immigrants.

Sadly, the odds that @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social or his staff will read and respond is nill. I am tired of politicians and celebrities using social media as info dump sites. Social media is supposed to be about engagement. If you can’t monitor and respond yourself, get a social media team who can.

now that canada is getting closer to europe and australia instead of focusing so exclusively on the US, can we copy them and guarantee workers 4-5 weeks of paid vacation?

Give a person a fisshe and thei will eate for a daye. Teache a person to fisshe and thei will eate for a lyfetyme. Destroye the fish ponde to make a computer tell lies about fisshe, you are a Gen AI companye.

If I have too choose between walking down a sidewalk with trees and planters full of flowers, or a barren concrete sidewalk, I know which I’d choose. Trees make streets more walkable.

"What is the point of subscribing to a hard copy paper if they are just going to include AI slop too!…There should be a reporter fired." Huh. Too many reporters have been fired. Where’s the book critic? Having said that, how difficult is it to interview a local book store owner or a librarian?

When did Labour become the party to out-Tory the Tories? WTF UK?

I see a lot of reporting and posting on the measles outbreaks in the US, but little about the outbreaks in Canada, and Ontario specifically: Ontario has had more than 1,600 cases since October! We need the province to become a lot more assertive and proactive with regards to vaccinations!

We need to see local, regional, and provincial/state government making these kinds of investments all over. Helping people with housing, putting food on the table, education, health care, and transit are the most basic things a government should deliver.

South African MSM and social media are brutal in their criticism of the Afrikaner pretend ‘refugees’, and I’m here for it.

South African humour 🤣🤣🤣 The ‘refugees’ are now the ‘tsekkers and their flight is The Groot ‘Tsek, a play on the similarities between ‘trek’, and ‘tsek’, an abbreviation of ‘voetsek’ a South African f-off.

Cricket fans might recall that the whole Hansie Cronje match fixing scandal started with the gift of a cellphone. There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch. Or an easy deal.

Over just 10 years, Ontario spent NINE BILLION dollars on agency nurses. 9 billion... Imagine if that had just been invested into the public system, how set we'd be. Instead it enriched shareholders and investors in private companies.

“It is not the village idiots who are going to take Afrikaans off life support and bring it back to life. It is the flower seller in Adderley Street, the street sweeper in Kariega, and the cattle farmer in the Free State who is reaching out and helping to build.”

Not even Donny-Two-Dolls. More like Donny-No-Dolls.

I just had the distinct unpleasure of watching the idolization part of Trump’s cabinet meeting for the third time. (It was not intentional!) But now I have a question. If the object of all the sickening fawning is only one person, is it still called a jerk circle?

Time to make the NDP socialist again.

The NDP ‘fell apart’, not because their voters suddenly decided they embrace Liberal Party policies, but because they felt it necessary to defend against the Trump/Maple MAGA threat. If Carney and the Liberals need to reach out to anybody, it is to those voters.

Networks are starting to call the election for the Liberals. #CDN #Election2025 #CanPoli
