Ah, he meant “Bored of Peace”!

Not a single word about international law—these attacks are clearly, unambiguously illegal. Not a single word about sovereignty—Carney’s supposed bedrock value, as claimed in Davos. No concern about Iran being attacked by the US while pursuing diplomacy—as Canada embarks on existential USMCA talks.

Carney fans: here is perhaps the most unambiguous test yet of your principles. Do you support the US starting an illegal war with Iran? Because your guy Carney does.

We condemn Mark Carney's unequivocal support for illegal US-Israeli strikes on Iran, sabotaging negotiations in favour of regime change. A "pre-emptive" strike without an imminent threat is an act of aggression, a violation of the UN Charter, and a major threat to security.

In the 1910s, when Charles Daniels was denied his seat at the Grand Theatre in Calgary, Alberta feared a "dark tide" of immigrants flooding its borders. "The rhetoric of today resembles the rhetoric of those years," says Cheryl Foggo. #ableg

“Prof Pedro Arrojo-Agudo, UN Special Rapporteur on the human right to clean water, has singled out the English system for criticism, saying water should be managed as a publicly owned service, rather than run by private companies set up to benefit shareholders.” www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

So the UCP spends $81M (at least!) to dismantle our centralized health care system, then another $2.3 BILLION to establish yet another agency to re-centralize it? So much for fiscal responsibility! Watch FOM's Chris Gallaway on yesterday's CTV News: www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/vid...

🚨 @niigaanwewidam.bsky.social and I - along with a dream team of incredible collaborators - are excited to announce a new book challenging residential school denialism! Truth Before Reconciliation will be released in September with the University of Manitoba Press: uofmpress.ca/books/truth-...

"Moments of awakening don't come with flashing lights. It's a quiet voice saying, "This is not right. I have to do something." We must listen & take physical action, it means recording conversations, it means photos & video, & it means freedom of information." 20:51 www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LVT...

So… We’re spending 2.3 billion to replicate the services that were built into our former integrated system because Dani was committed to disintegrating it? #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

David calling out the real life issues faced by Albertans caused by the racist rhetoric spewed by the ucp that is allowing shitty racist Albertans to be openly shitty.

“Antifa” is a sentiment and an organizing principle. There is no membership. He’d have better luck trying to find people who joined Paw Patrol.

If you watch 2 minutes of video today… Make it this. A masterclass on oratory and personal responsibility is on full display. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

rabble has submitted seven questions to each of the NDP leadership candidates. Here are the answers from Heather McPherson. rabble.ca/politics/can...

We spoke today at PWIC on the topic of a ban on right turns on red. This is a common sense solution that has been tried all over the world and proven to increase safety. We do not need to reinvent the wheel at every intersection. Watch the delegation below drive.google.com/file/d/1owT3...

Important to call lies out when there are lies. These are lies from a liar.

Jerusalem-based historian Lee Mordechai has spent the last two years documenting Israeli violence against civilians in Gaza. In an interview, he explains why the genocide has continued even after the supposed ceasefire.

It would be great to deamalgamate Ottawa so Mark Sutcliffe didn't need to be led on guided tours of random suburban intersections in Stittsville like he's on a royal tour of the Commonwealth

Again: trans people are a very small minority. If your *KNEEJERK* reaction when you encounter these rare & beautiful butterflies is *ANYTHING* other than “What can I do to make your life a little brighter?” you need to interrogate yourself. Impede the life of trans ppl & you’re in danger, from me. ❤️

A frank discussion on #DanielleSmith. They see the Emperor with no clothes—an agenda built on "bafflegab" where data is ignored to protect the story. 📉 “It’s always about the narrative, not about the evidence.” Is #Alberta ready for the truth? #AbPoli #AbLeg youtu.be/zbBYhK02XBk?...

I walk or cycle with my kids every day in the core of Ottawa. We are regularly unable to cross intersections because of drivers trying to turn right on red and blocking our way while we have the signal. This makes our trips less safe, longer, colder, wetter when it's raining.

Making a video call is easy for most, but for anyone living with dementia or who didn't grow up with tech, it's too often a challenge. Paige can help. youtu.be/HBcOfXSr534?... 👇Here's our chat on The AmberMac Show podcast: Full episode here: bio.site/ambermac cc @jeffmacarthur.bsky.social

Today's essential read for all Albertans markhamhislop.substack.com/p/alberta-do...

Thank you, Leah and Jenny! I'm so grateful they keep hammering home the absurdity of these policies. It's whackadoodle that in the midst of our current reality of a crumbling social safety net, cost of living crisis, etc. CPC and Liberals want to focus on.. denying healthcare to refugees?!

The Conservatives are now desperately trying to outdo the Liberals’ anti-migrant policies by denying essential healthcare to migrants and refugees. Thank you to my NDP colleague @jennykwan.bsky.social for speaking the truth: this is nothing but preying on the most vulnerable for political gain.

I'd like to read more explainers like this from Canadian outlets, and fewer stories about how retirees from Calgary are upset about disruptions to their vacations / flights

Whoa @calgary.ca. Eight days ago, a driver struck and killed a toddler in a stroller in a marked crosswalk. The next day, the driver of a tractor trailer hit and killed a senior in a marked crosswalk. Those deaths come after a record 15 pedestrians were killed in 2025. And this is your message?! 😡😢

Lots of chatter from those in the 'Canada is broken' camp over claims that Canada is now 'poorer' than Alabama, on the basis of per capita GDP comparisons. See my explainer for @irpp.org on why this claim is false: policyoptions.irpp.org/2025/04/cana.... #canlab #cdnecon /2

On Feb 5, the Senate recognized May 10 as Bear Witness Day. We thank Senator Brian Francis for advancing this motion. It reinforces the call for Canada to fully implement Jordan’s Principle so First Nations children receive the services they need, when they need them.

Tommy Douglas, Canada’s venerable socialist leader and the father of its single-payer health care system, died on this day in 1986. He is now revered as the “greatest Canadian.” But in his time, he was a radical and an enemy of the establishment.

Right. "War on Cars" in Calgary. sigh. A toddler in a stroller killed in a marked crosswalk. A 70-year old man killed in a marked crosswalk. Reframing as "attack on cars" doesn't make it any more real. Just effin' disgusting and irresponsible. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

@emmettmacfarlane.com: Albert Premier Danielle Smith’s vision is one that would create a nightmarish, dystopian underclass. It is a cruel, inherently racist agenda, straight from the far-right populist playbook we have seen play out in the United States. It is anti-Canadian. #abpoli

A whopping and hugely disturbing 56% of pedestrian crashes occurred at Ottawa's signalized intersections since 2017: 1,021 of 1,831 crashes. There is an obligation to assess an implement safe traffic signals used widely elsewhere in Canada, e.g. Montreal and QC www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/artic...

I feel this so strongly. Covid was a test of our moral integrity & decency -- *not just elites, but all of us* -- and we failed. I genuinely think one reason Covid has been memory-holed so hard, & so crusted w/ myths & conspiracy theories, is that on some level we know this & are ashamed.

Please do read the Globe and Mail's Mark MacKinnon's @markmackinnon.bsky.social powerful and absolutely clear-sighted essay on 4 years of war in Ukraine (free link). www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/46e1a3e...

Ukraine’s war enters a fourth year as global attention fades. Russian strikes intensify, aid declines, casualties soar, Trump rails and daily life grows harsher. Still Ukrainians bravely resist. Please read this powerful piece by @markmackinnon.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/world/articl...

It’s not just about what you remove (cars, noise, dirty air). It’s about what you add (people walking, a lot of bike parking, trees, outdoor dining, and room for kids to play safely). Amsterdam: 1986 and today. Streets for people. HT @hackneycyclist.bsky.social for the great before-and-after

“Four years later, the sirens still scream, and the Russian attacks have become even deadlier. What’s changed is the world has become accustomed to the war raging in Europe. We’ve come to accept that things are never going back to the way they were before.” My essay on four years of war in Ukraine

👋 Alberta, get up, stand up. Tomorrow and Sunday. Let’s show Smith that she is the constitutional crisis. Canada needs to stand against her destructive and cruel blame game at the expense of the most vulnerable while robbing us of everything we’ve build. #abpoli #yyc #yql OperationTotalRecall.ca

This has to be the lamest plan to "revitalize" the Market I've ever seen - it revamps some parking garages but functionality changes nothing. Right now, a lot of it just acts as a giant parking lot -- council should be bold and pedestrianize it.

“Smith’s address last night is worse than advocacy for separatism. It’s an agenda to destroy Canadian federalism from within. To rely on stoking fear and xenophobia, to attack society’s most vulnerable, to dismantle the grand bargains that make Canada the best country in the world.”

💯👇 "She is the most dangerous politician in Canada, launching an agenda not only of fear and greed, but one that seeks to undermine the country" "It is worse than a secessionist agenda, it is an agenda to make Canada a dysfunctional confederacy of selfish, inward-looking, disaggregated provinces"

Conservatives have held provincial power in Alberta since 1971 except for 4 years. They have consistently sent conservative MPs to Ottawa and ran the federal government for a decade under Harper. But somehow they're not the cause of all Alberta's problems... #ableg #cdnpoli
