What power, what incisiveness and what passion drove you to work in those days! That was a time when you were never worried about academic scholarly reservations! -- Karl Marx, 1863 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The head of the IMF said Germany and Canada are in better fiscal positions than G7 peers She also said the IMF "welcomes" Canada's planned focus on housing, infrastructure, energy and strategic projects, saying spending in these areas will help to boost productivity via @erikhertzberg.bsky.social:

Bringing a climate lens to problem solving in public policy is justifiable across policy spaces. Regardless of sector, applying the lens will help you build better interventions and produce better outcomes for citizens. Please don't forget this @mark-carney.bsky.social. #canpoli #cndpoli

#cdnpoli I live in Alberta and donated to Bruce Fanjoy's campaign to win Carleton from Pierre Poilievre. Out of the blue I just got a phone call from Bruce Fanjoy thanking me for my support. That's how you do politics. By the way, Carleton, you chose a great guy as your new MP.

The idea of any party engaging in fundraising by fueling public doubt in our electoral system’s impartiality is highly concerning. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Many people who are concerned about climate change feel “isolated and alone” because they have no idea they are part of 80-89% of people across the world who want their governments to take climate action.

"...but don't let that ruin your beach plans." Because it's not you who's getting kidnapped off your university campus. Because it's not you who's being disappeared at legal border crossings. Because it's not you who's imprisoned in a concentration camp run for profit. So, does it really matter?

I will say this - EVERYONE with power seems to be desperately hoping that unpopularity does the work that consequences need to do

I'm sorry, but isn't this just the Cultural Revolution 2.0? Why on earth would fired aid workers and NIH medical researchers go to work on assembly lines for worse salaries in jobs they don't know how to do? Why are they getting their economic policy from Mao?

Canada's newest federal political party does not lack for ambition. ;) Platform launch coming this week! I hope you'll make time to check it out. Democratic reform, national security, critical minerals, pollution pricing, and more! #canpoli #cndpoli

Another critical point. Land-use decisions often involve complex negotiations between overlapping sovereignties whose rights cannot be hand-waved away by anyone. This reality doesn't preclude the completion of major projects (look at Site C), but it does mean there's no room for magical thinking.

I wish media would pick up on this more. Pollution pricing initiatives didn't grow up in a vacuum; from the perspective of domestic politics, they may look innovative, but they're really reactions to shifting market access requirements. Removal would provoke consequences. #canpoli #cndpoli

The National Security Ballad 🇨🇦

Definitely the choice to make if you're campaigning for leader of the opposition. #cndpoli

Public sentiment is legitimizing arguments in favour of friend-shoring trade and realigning our diplomatic/security arrangements. In the upcoming federal election, the ballot question needs to be about who can offer a government stable and connected enough to act with such ambition. #canpoli

Strongly agree. On many points, the "what should we do" question has already been answered, with workable responses poorly implemented or not actioned at all. If there's a silver lining to the US's decline into autocracy, it's that it might actually light a fire in our bellies. #canpoli #cndpoli

⚡️ US halts intelligence sharing with Ukraine, FT reports. The reported move follows Washington's decision to freeze all military aid supplies to Ukraine.

Ok, the Starlink deal is dead. Now, every Canadian government agency, every Canadian company, every Canadian journalist — every single Canadian — get off X. Leave it as the full-throated fascist scream it has become.

Tabatha Southey is fucking rad.

I strongly agree with the @canfp.bsky.social's cross-partisan instincts on these threats. We need to put the work into developing a united front, one that deals with the immediate crisis while also setting our country up to decouple as much as possible from the circus down south. #canpoli #cndpoli

On this day in 1678, Madeleine de Vercheres was born in New France. When she was 14, she single-handedly repelled a raid on Fort Verchères and became a legendary heroic figure in the history of New France. Let's learn more about this amazing individual! 🧵1/9

I’m looking to speak with an historian about US-Canada trade, nationalism, etc. in the 80s/90s and today. Does anyone have someone they’d recommend?
