It's pretty depressing how many journalists and headline writers can't seem to parse the difference between telling the truth and providing a transcript of absolutely unhinged nonsense.

i truly hate that the language of business has come to define all government functions. like "oh the mail has to make enough money to justify its existence" fuck you its a public service

Hey white people? PSA: Us calling you white & not wanting to be around you or interact with you is not the same thing as racism. Racism is a system that harms people. It kills people. Black people calling you white & declining to interact with you does nothing but hurt your feelings.

Carney diehards getting the “Fell for it again” award day after day

Starbucks is closing stores and cutting 900 jobs in a restructuring move. 1,100 jobs were slashed earlier this year. Reminder that 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.

Carney’s closing rural post offices and end door to door delivery. Building Canada, eh

#Breaking: Postal union launches nationwide strike after Ottawa gives Canada Post the OK to end home delivery

Did Carney and the Liberals run on an austerity platform? I don't recall this, but suddenly there's no money for the things we should be "Elbows Up" about. While there's abundant money for the military, surveillance and security.

oh this is fucked

Semple is also one of the backers of a potential new baseball stadium on the Yards. Unless a motion from last council gets overturned before budget, the city will be on the hook for a starting sum of $2.5mil & forced to enter into a P3 w/ Semple & the Red Sox to build it. #yqrcc

This is such a problematic approach. Almost anything can be a weapon! I can see this being weaponized against vulnerable groups. Tent poles & pegs? Shopping carts? Firewood? Walking sticks? Crutches? All potential weapons. Can’t tell me that some of our police won’t happily go overboard.

Tabling motion failed. Councillors were not given much time to think through the implications of this provincially drafted act. I'm worried about its adoption on our most vulnerable (as delegations eloquently noted). The unhoused in #yqr must negotiate yet another round of cruel regulations. #yqrcc

Thank you to whichever reporter confronted her about the lying. Need more of this. Via CTV Edmonton on TikTok vt.tiktok.com/ZSD4Qt9eG/ #Alberta #abpoli

Tax dollars should go toward supporting Canada Post because it is a vital public service that connects communities, supports small businesses, and ensures equitable access to mail and parcel delivery across the country, including in rural and remote areas. #canadapost #cdnpoli

Sorry the reason you are not seeing Black voices platformed to speak to this moment & are in fact seeing what few there were repressed is due to no lack of qualified Black intellectuals, it's deliberate white supremacism, so don't put a naive act on.

Ottawa is facing its history of Indigenous women getting murdered by renaming parks. Parks. Anyway, this is more or less my entire stance on the performance. Fucking be better than this. Shameful display from this city. #ottawa

2/ That’s why we are urging the Prime Minister to pledge new funding to Women and Gender Equality Canada in the upcoming budget. Read our statement: www.momentumcanada.net/budget

1/ Investments in gender equality and 2SLGBTQI rights are critical to building a more free and equal Canada, and unlocking the economic potential of historically marginalized communities.

Could Fox News be banned from broadcasting in Canada? Egale Canada, the country’s leading 2SLGBTQI rights group, says it should be and they just renewed a two-year-old push to get it done:

It is not our job to determine if resistance is hopeless. It is our duty to render it effective, at all possible points, while we are alive. It is the future that will determine if our efforts were victorious, not the present. To act fully in the present means to never face defeat.

77% of Canadians say that they are worried about climate change’s future effects. This is a significant 15-point jump in concern since October 2024. abacusdata.ca/public-conce...

also not for nothing but politics are important That’s why we talk about them Because it’s life and death

It’s important to understand statistical concepts like ‘correlation does not equal causation,’ but it’s just as important to have an awareness of our own biases, so we don’t apply it selectively only to information that challenges our prior beliefs.

People miss this: free speech isn’t measured by whether you agree with what’s said. It’s measured by whether you still have the choice to hear it. Once that choice disappears, you’re not in a democracy anymore. Germany showed us that. Hungary is showing us now…

So long as LGBTQ2S+ people keep undermining freedom of speech among ourselves, we will never be able to defend ourselves from homophobic and transphobic censorship

Shaun Semple insisted a lease at Regina’s exhibition grounds was not a deal. CBC had obtained a copy of the document. It shows REAL could potentially miss out on tens of millions of dollars in rent over the course of the 90-year lease. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

It is scary. My daughter, who is a lawyer, said to me yesterday that the things that politicians are getting away with today are things that never would have happened several years ago, that resignations would be demanded. We are indeed on a slippery slope. Canadians need to open their eyes.

I did a deep-dive into Ben Mulroney's extracurricular activities: At the same time as Mulroney is filling-in as host of The West Block, he is also working for two registered lobby groups and as an adviser to several companies – some of whose CEOs he's interviewed on Global News 640 Toronto radio

International students were forced to campaign for the Conservatives by a private college.

I’m curious: how do White progressives think systemic racial inequality has been maintained—do you really think it’s through evil or psychopathy? Do y’all really think only one or two evil or psychopathic folks have kept entire races of people down?

CBC has whitewashed Israel’s crimes in Gaza. I saw it firsthand Working for five years as a producer at the public broadcaster, I witnessed the double standards and discrimination in its coverage of Palestine—and experienced directly how CBC disciplines those who speak breachmedia.ca/cbc-whitewas...

TLDR: Ben Mulroney DONATED nearly the maximum allowable amount to the Conservative Party of Canada — and is now the interim host of one of Canada’s top political shows. I’ve got the receipts:

Canada, Australia, the U.K. and France have finally -- conditionally -- joined the many other nations who recognize the State of Palestine. But today, Prime Minister Mark Carney also once again called for a “Zionist Palestine.” Here's what's going on:

This is fucking insane and I am astonished at how irresponsible Global News upper management is being with this. They’re risking the credibility of all their journalists and for…what? Canada’s worst nepo baby?

Some nice coverage from CityTV of Vancouver's Draw the Line protest this Saturday: vancouver.citynews.ca/video/2025/0...

Call me a filthy commie but I think blowing up boats without actually knowing who or what is on them is really evil and wrong

Oh, so boycotting corporations DOES work? Duly noted. variety.com/2025/tv/news...

“This move benefits only Israel as it absolves it of its hideous crimes and provides a timely distraction.” Fatima Bhutto calls out the UK and France’s recognition of Palestine’s statehood as nothing but theater to distract from the continuing genocide. zeteo.com/p/france-and...
