"Premier, mayor have some explaining to do on firearms buyback," by @wfpdlett.bsky.social www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/colu...

Mayor Scott Gillingham’s inner circle is set to vote on a proposal to ban “nuisance” protests and intimidation within 100 metres of schools, hospitals, places of worship, cultural centres and other “vulnerable social” locations.

The Opaskwayak Cree Nation in northern Manitoba is in federal court this week to hold Canada responsible for the impacts of flooding and hydro development the community has had to deal with.

A large Pride flag was quietly removed from New York City’s Stonewall National Monument on February 9 after a directive from the Trump administration, marking an alarming continuation of the federal government’s attacks on LGBTQ+ people.

Hey, here's a thing I wrote in 2022. thewalrus.ca/porch-camera...

The agreement comes with a 20 percent wage increase, equal to around a $7 wage bump for production workers, over the four-year contract. The cost-of-living adjustment is 45 cents per hour on top of the base wage, depending on inflation. @lfelizleon.bsky.social reports labornotes.org/2026/02/majo...

“…Mr. Lemon has hired as one of his defense lawyers a veteran criminal litigator who, until just weeks ago, was helping lead the prosecutor’s office that has charged Mr. Lemon with felonies.”

Americans should be banned from writing about Canada.

First Nations leaders in B.C. are calling on Premier David Eby to uphold DRIPA and to meet with them. He's looking at amending the legislation following successful Aboriginal title cases in recent months. Chiefs accuse the media and others of 'false linkages' between the Act and court cases.

what is up with anglo countries and having governments that want to gut the post office? of all the public services they could despise, they choose the post office!

‼️New polling shows people in BC: • worry about climate change (78%) • want the #BCgov to act more (79%) • want more oversight of FortisBC to shift away from gas (61%) ...🧵 More in this @nationalobserver.com piece here 👇 www.nationalobserver.com/2026/02/04/o...

Palantir, Deloitte, and the private prison giant GEO Group took in more than $22 billion from ICE and CBP last year. Behind the spreadsheets and contracts, there's a quieter truth: someone is getting rich from cages, borders, and human pain. Profit has always been fluent in the language of cruelty.

Hollywood stars are threatening a mass exodus from their talent agency after the chief executive’s close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell was exposed.

You can’t give ICE a budget larger than all but 15 militaries worldwide and expect the agency to demilitarize its behavior. Yet that’s just what congressional Democrats are doing.

B.C. cancelled its drug decriminalization pilot, saying it hadn’t “delivered the results” they wanted. Its results: fewer drug users arrested and traumatized by cops. @desmondcole.bsky.social explains that when governments cave to moral panic, we lose good policies. breachmedia.ca/decriminaliz...

Does a public recording of this exist on-line?

Geothermal could replace almost half of the EU’s fossil fuel power

A staggering report from @amandafollett.bsky.social on Rustad's town hall on Indigenous rights and DRIPA in Smithers (Wet’suwet’en territory) last weekend:

Indigenous leaders gather in Ottawa this week to call on all parties to pass Bill C-10—an act to create a federal modern treaty commissioner. Hear more on APTN News Brief:

Part e-bike and part van, this new class of pedal-powered vehicles is overhauling last-mile delivery—and the fabric of car-centric urban life. “I do think we're asking a fundamental question of who is entitled to space in the city?" insideevs.com/features/786...

Bad Bunny’s halftime show highlighted Puerto Rico’s agricultural history and the issues facing residents years after hurricanes Irma and Maria devastated the island in 2017. After that, farmers adopted sustainable practices to address food insecurity and empower local communities. #fromthearchives

With Canadian airlines now suspending flights to Cuba because of Trump’s illegal blockade, costing Canadians $millions & major distress, Ottawa must finally say something about this expansion of the Donroe Doctrine—and demand compensation. My take for the Toronto Star www.thestar.com/business/opi...

I cannot wait to see this whenever it gets picked up.

🚨 PRESS RELEASE 🚨 We are taking the federal gov to court for #caribou 🦌 Southern Mountain Caribou are disappearing due to #habitatloss, fragmentation and widespread changes in their ecosystems. "At this point, extinction is not accidental; it is a political choice,” - Lucero González, Campaigner.

Why are we so obsessed with the Epstein files? Because they’ve stopped being about just one pedophile and have come to symbolize the depravity of the world’s richest elites. It’s no surprise that the art world is implicated, but another way is possible.

My colleague got into Trump's sprawling family detention camp, which is full of toddlers, kids, & teens. - Kids have cut themselves or talked about suicide -There's worms & mold in food -300 kids have been held for 30+ days, far longer court settlement allows www.propublica.org/article/life...

An incredible turn of events here. 10/10, no notes. 😂

Some Canadian pension funds are divesting from fossil fuels. But the Canada Pension Plan continues to earn returns from oil and gas investments. Via @nationalobserver.com: thenarwhal.ca/cpp-fossil-f...

Things turn tense at a public hearing for Quebec’s Constitution consultations after a chief carrying a sacred Eagle Staff is barred from the proceedings. Hear more on APTN News Brief:

"...if you look through our history, they’ve lobbied for decades to prioritize cars over a more complete or affordable set of transportation options.” Kevin Shen @ucs.org

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

During the Second World War, Canada disposed of toxic waste through a network of open ditches flowing into a creek in the village of Nobel. The federal government owned the site at the time, then sold the land after the war—without fully remediating the damage.

Please don't accuse people in knitted hats of only wearing their supposed politics if all you're doing is posting, which is basically just another way of wearing your politics. It's a silly thing to attack people over in any case. Using fashion to signal support for ongoing acts of rebellion is good

A quarter of Canadian families are facing food insecurity even when most have a breadwinner working a permanent, full-time job, new research suggests. @isaacphannay.bsky.social reports. 🥬 #canlab #canpoli

It's not even midnight and we're already at "Deport Elmo."

The bee stings will continue until morale improves www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Has Canada—champion of “open sea lanes”—had much if anything to say about this?

In solidarity with all those standing up for our communities against the brutality of immigrant detention and ICE occupation, we're offering free ebooks of three crucial books about migrant justice and border abolition.

Trump being blatantly racist is nothing new but it’s a great way to foment outrage to turn the dial on media attention. The man is a known rage-baiter and uses it to steer the conversation while preparing for something else. It’s an easy trigger to pull

Don’t be distracted by Trump’s racism. The man has been accused of taking part in a child sex ring. He is already setting the stage for ICE intervention at polling stations around Democratic strongholds. He’s framing the case to justify these interventions using the stolen election false narrative

Homeland Security is monitoring anti-ICE Reddit posts, an intelligence bulletin leaked to me reveals: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/homeland-s...

As a professional analyst of journalistic data, if asked, I’d say the significant data point worth focusing on with the Washington Post would be hundreds of thousands of subscribers suddenly canceling when they became aware the billionaire owner was directly dicking around with what ran in the paper

An inquiry by B.C.’s Office of the Human Rights Commissioner has found news media faced numerous problems accessing the scene of a decampment operation in 2023, despite the Vancouver Police Department’s continued claim that there were no restrictions. @jenstden.bsky.social reports. #vanpoli

Fascism doesn’t rise by accident: it’s organised through capitalism, fear, and targeted wars on migrants, drugs, and people in poverty. Read our State of Power 2026 opening interview with @harshawalia.bsky.social and Alberto Toscano. www.tni.org/en/article/l...

In the greater story of Minneapolis’ resistance to ICE, one chapter absolutely belongs to the punks organizing at every level. They’re observing, fundraising, running supplies, opening their spaces, coordinating, etc. A story for @rollingstone.com. Thanks to everyone who spoke on the record.
