130+ Palestinian grad students admitted to 🇨🇦 universities are trapped in a 23-month limbo. IRCC is demanding biometrics from a war zone—a move that is both unrealistic and unjust. The precedent exists: we did this for Ukraine & Syria. We must do it now. #cdnpoli #Gaza www.cpac.ca/headline-pol...

Education is not a business; it is an essential public good. These changes impose a corporate management structure on public education, replacing evidence-based practices and teacher discretion — informed by their professional expertise — with ministerial directives.

Thank you to NDP Critic @tomrakocevic.bsky.social for pressing for NEW furnaces in NEW homes. Why is the Minister responsible for consumer protection, Stephen Crawford, supporting builders instead of new home purchasers? #NoUsedFurnaces #consumerprotection #onpoli

2 wars in 4 years. This war will accelerate Solar +Batteries + EVs as real Energy Security "rest of the world will learn an important lesson from China. Build out your renewables so you aren't as dependent on imported fossil fuels & the whims of idiots" Be like Spain. bsky.app/profile/jere...

In case you missed it: The TDSB’s use of untrained “emergency replacement people” has increased by a staggering 1,152 percent since the pandemic. These are the schools using them most.

Toronto schools have been increasingly calling on lunch supervisors, parents, and other non-teachers to cover staff absences. How often is this happening at your local school? Find out with our search tool here! #OntEd #TDSB thelocal.to/emergency-re...

Spring budgeting has barely begun and already #dougford ‘s Minister is cutting 484 elementary teachers, 93 secondary teachers, & 40 VP from @tdsb.on.ca schools for 2026-27. Balancing school board budgets on the backs of students. #onpoli #cdnpoli #ontario #publiceducation

This government has spent years neglecting our public education system through chronic underfunding. Now, they are sabotaging students' future by slashing OSAP and leaving students stranded. It’s a pattern of neglect that proves they simply don't care about our children. #onpoli #onted #saveosap

RIP Stephen Lewis, one of the greats, “In 2003, he co-founded the Stephen Lewis Foundation, which as of last year had raised more than $200 million for grassroots organizations fighting AIDS on the ground in Africa.”

Avi Lewis: "We have shoved Canada Post so far into the market mindset that every few months we have a national conversation about why isn't Canada Post making money. Does the ambulance service make money? Do the police services make money? We're talking about a fundamental public service."

Avi Lewis should not be underestimated #Opinion

Q: Why are you so supportive of Avi Lewis as leader -- Wab Kinew: I love the guy

In shock at the grocery store? In tears looking at your bills? “It’s because the wealth of this country is being hoovered up by a corporate elite who are extracting it from you every single day,” Avi Lewis says. “It’s immoral. It’s unreasonable. It’s un-Canadian. And we cannot let it stand.”

It's wild to me how many intelligent people are saying the NDP just chose "extremism." I dunno, man. Maybe watching the world order and the social safety net crumble over the last six years has made me an extremist, too but wanting to meet people's basic needs is literally what socialism is?

I want everyone to recognize that from this moment, the NDP will be a target. The enemies of progress will go all out to destroy Avi Lewis, because he dares to question the "glorious neoliberal order."

Avi Lewis is now the NDP leader, reaching over the threshold 1. Avi Lewis 39734 votes 2. Heather McPherson 20899 votes 3. Tanille Johnston 5159 votes 4. Rob Ashton 4193 votes 5. Tony McQuail 945 votes

Congratulations to @avilewis, for being elected the new leader of Canada’s NDP! The Canada we’re fighting for lifts people up, brings people together, and builds a future for everyone. That’s what NDP oppositions fight for every day, and it’s what NDP governments deliver.

Paid for by firing public servants in irrelevant places like Statistics Canada, ViaRail etc.

Here's one small trick to save a nation: Invest in the welfare state. Countries exist to serve their people. Canada should remember that. www.davidmoscrop.com/p/one-small-...

A politician with the guts to say it: "No American child from the blue collar or the middle class should have to die fighting in Iran. Let the Epstein class fight the Epstein War." - Premier Wab Kinew at the NDP national convention, Winnipeg.

Ooof. Quite a week for Carney fans and their task of reconciling his actions with their belief in who he is. Let's review. 🧵

I'm tired of the money he wasted going to court to fight against paying people the money they deserved.

NEW: Doug Ford says his transparency clampdown is "only controversial with two groups: the media and with the opposition." A new poll commissioned by CUPE and conducted by Abacus suggests that's not actually true. #OnPoli globalnews.ca/news/1174604...

Strikes me as kind of a big deal, like the tobacco law suits that found out they knew it was addictive, and designed to be addictive. More and more I'm seeing social media use equated to something like tobacco usage. I'm starting to think that's an appropriate model. (he says, posting on socials)

Same in Canada. Lobbying has been intense for years with the governing Liberals to name the obvious.

📣Excellent journalism job alert! Come work with us!

Elon Musk took over Twitter and turned it into the anti-woke, fascist-amplifying X. There’s been debate about whether to stay since he bought it. But seeing how it’s evolved and the recent Grok deepfake scandal, there’s no good argument to stay. I stopped posting there. You should too.

Canadian governments - provincial and federal - are in their Henry VIII era, deciding on a case-by-case basis what laws and Charter rights apply. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

he keeps going abroad to distract from how he’s gutting the public service back at home

I feel absolutely sick over VIA Rail losing half its government funding. And CBC 12%. And so many others.

Way down the article is the news that VIA is being cut 50%. This, at a time is more important than ever. Carney says he wants to build a strong Canada, but he's cutting the connective tissue that holds the country together.

#Opinion: Canada lost 84,000 jobs in February, one of the worst monthly job losses since the pandemic — and young people are being hit the hardest, writes David Olive.

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy. Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks. Those that didn't now pay the price.

meta being called meta is so incredible. it’d be like if microsoft was called zune or nasa was called challenger

they literally renamed the entire company after this

Holy sh*t. Wab Kinew's government just made using data to increase prices an unfair business practice. This is historic for Canada. *Proposed bill bans suppliers from charging higher prices to certain consumers based on personalized or algorithmically determined information. t.co/ZugFOj7983

IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN, MY FRIENDS.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

Three years into the AI era, educators say they face a major crisis. Bosses and clients replacing tutoring jobs with AI. Replacing *athletic coaching* with AI. Many students now cannot grasp why they would *not* use AI for schoolwork. And worse. The 5th installment of AI Killed My Job—educators:
