Steven Guilbeault: "If you look at our campaign platform during the last election, commitments that we made to Canadians, mentioned climate change 28x. It did not mention pipelines once. So I think rightfully so, some people are wondering what is happening."

Can we retire the word "increasing" please? It has always been a factor in far-right attacks. I wrote that in 2019 for the 30th anniversary of the Montreal Massacre. www.nationalobserver.com/2019/12/05/o...

“This is not the first time the national insurance program has faced scrutiny for a high number of claim rejections [by Sun Life.] Last year, when the program was fully expanded… half of the requests for complex dental work were turned down.” www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Sunscreen is wild, like what do you mean the radiant might of a gigantic plasma inferno of a star fueled by the unimaginable power of nuclear fusion is defeated by a ten euro tube of cream

Alberta’s grievances with Ottawa are mostly manufactured, always exaggerated and, often, completely illusory. Now it's time for the people who spent the last decade amplifying and weaponizing them to put out the fire they helped create. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/26/o...

“Better than nothing is a pretty low bar.” At last week’s lecture, Toon Dreessen spoke about civic ambition, public architecture, and why Ottawa needs to stop accepting “good enough” city-building. What we build today becomes tomorrow’s heritage. Watch it here: 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=hp85...

The Liberals’ pipeline is dividing Canada—and causing some Liberal MPs to run for the hills. And while Carney doubles down on new fossil fuel projects, he’s backsliding on the rights of Indigenous peoples while lining the pockets of the billionaire class, (1/2)

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”

solar is so cool man. I climbed up on my shed roof last week and installed a panel to charge my yard tools and now I’m mowing my lawn with power I stole from a fucking star

So Canada is letting Israel violate the human rights of Canadians at least once without any consequences? That seems to be the gist of this statement.

The only kind of car pedestrian streets were built for -

I get a lot of Qs about the hell we're supposed to do about young men and radicalization. There are lots of different resources on this and @whiteribbon.bsky.social has just created a new one specific for those who are raising boys and young men.

Big news! @Sandela and I are raising money to hire a journalist to investigate the extent to which pro-Israel narratives are influencing Canadian media, and what the impact of that influence is on coverage. Chip in a few bucks! Help us hire somone! chuffed.org/project/1823...

50 Million Dollars to ask some non-binding questions that are not a high priority to the vast majority of ABs. Here's what is a priority to me: 1 - The cost of living for Albertans 2 - HC access - let's prevent ABs from dying in our ED WRs and hospital hallways 1/3

Waiting 20 hrs when you're sick must feel like pure torture. The disconnect between the AHS site and reality is unacceptable. On top of it, knowing LaGrange is now minister of hospitals means zero hope of change. They waste millions restructuring while patients suffer for a full day. #abpoli #ableg

When will he learn that anything Canada does short of abject surrender will lead to U.S. retaliation? #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Nice! @sproudfoot.bsky.social absolutely nails it with this analogy for Danielle Smith’s cynical, destructive, self-serving referendum question. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/opi...

For all the popularity of the Carney government, they sure are doing a lot of really stupid shit.

“Ontario spent record $112M on taxpayer-funded advertising” [last fiscal year] $112,000,000 ➗ 365 = $306,849.32 / day Re: Conservative Party of Ontario’s full-page ad shouting that: “A SAFER ONTARIO MEANS PARKS WITHOUT ENCAMPMENTS” How much #HousingFirst could we provide at $307,000 a day?

Amazing how quickly this city can work (and on a weekend, too!) when the people who are inconvenienced are drivers. Transit users can fuck right off, drivers are taking that bus lane. ottawa.ca/en/city-hall...

the US is taking “unprecedented” measures to secure ownership over Canadian mines, turning Canada—and the First Nations from whose lands the minerals are sourced—into a US mining territory, the Canadian government is funding & fast-tracking these projects breachmedia.ca/elbows-up-ca...

Busting myths is fun.

We all know how we feel about this “demonic, mewling turducken of a referendum question,” but can anyone say it the way @sproudfoot.bsky.social says it? I don’t think so. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/opi...

If Doug Ford wants to clear an encampment, he has an easy set of options: 1) PROVIDE HOUSING, 2) PROVIDE HOUSING, or 3) FUCK OFF.

The simple reality, a reality you would not find in her speech, is this: she has pushed along a question because a group has threatened to bring down her and her party if she does not. Her internal political problems have become our national crisis.

IMO Canada Post is one of those services that should never be privatized. While I understand that the world has changed and we don't send physical letters as much any more, I think it is still a vital connection for communities, which is easily cut by a private profit-driven entity.

Real question: the fuck do you guys think the word meant before

Incredible book, author, and resource!

🇨🇦's #BillC22 is entering committee study this week - and we're hearing it may become law by end of the month. We never say this: but this is the worst, most privacy-breaking bill we've seen. It MUST be stopped. Speak up against it and read on to learn more: www.openmedia.org/StopC22-bsky 1/

I invite everyone to imagine the federal government behaving this way towards other provinces. "Today, Mark Carney and Doug Ford signed an MOU concerning a vital new energy project in Quebec. The Quebec premier was not in attendance."

Here's the thing about Alberta politics: *seven hours of coherent screaming*

"The only goal of Forever Canadian and the petition gathering process was to avert the danger of having a binding referendum that will spark a process that could possibly lead to Alberta separation". - Thomas Lukaszuk #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

I don't know when this started but yeah, it's giviiiiiiing Dictator. I remember being an FSWEP student under Harper and getting the message from up top that all our documents had to say "The Harper Government." Yikes Krispies!

Have you ever seen someone get groped on the bus? Ever overheard slurs being thrown around at a coffee shop? Maybe you've been out for a walk and witnessed catcalls? We're not powerless to stop this nonsense. Bystanders can make a HUGE difference! Truly. Let me teach you! zoom.us/webinar/regi...

BREAKING The World Health Organization has declared an international health emergency over a rare strain of Ebola that has killed dozens in the Democratic Republic of Congo, but has stopped short of calling the outbreak a pandemic

At least 131 deaths and over 500 suspected cases have been reported in the latest #Ebola outbreak in Democratic Republic of Congo. "What we're worried about is controlling the situation," shares Trish Newport, our Emergency Coordinator: www.cbc.ca/news/health/...

This is appalling. And it is the perfectly logical consequence of the Alberta government’s anti immigrant rhetoric and referendum questions. #yyc #ableg #abpoli #referendumb2026

With the greatest of respect to @kevincarmichael.bsky.social, Justin Trudeau bent over backwards for Alberta, and burned a metric tonne of political capital to build them a pipeline (to say nothing of orphan well funds, etc), all of which earned him nothing but new invented grievances in return.

Oh, buddy. This isn't it. The job is to build a better society -- more prosperous, more equitable, and more just. The job is not "reflexively oppose taxes."

Good thing we're spending all our money on defense to appease Trump while cutting everything else, because it's so clearly working. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Only 22 days left to sign the petition to stop Danielle Smith’s coal mining scheme. This shows 221 locations in #Alberta where you can go to sign it! #ABpoli #WaterNotCoal #ElbowsUp www.waternotcoal.ca

Gonna be interesting to see if Mark Carney essentially abandons the Canada Health Act.
