Why do so many @mark-carney.bsky.social supporters quote @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social when Mamdani stands for supporting workers over billionaires? Carney like Cuomo stands with the rich against the poor and thus one would think he was more their speed

A really good read on the dangers of worshipping politicians as heros substack.com/inbox/post/1...

In #Canada both #Federal and #Provincial governments have the ability to build the infrastructure and services people need, it's called investing in your own people. #neoliberalism dictates that they give our money to private interests instead and find excuses for why life doesn't get better.

Austerity and attacks on collective bargaining! Man this conservative government is something.

Here are my political predictions for the next few years in Canada: 1st - Enough CPC MP's are going to defect to the Liberals to ensure the budget passes 2nd - PP will resign after the leadership review in January and will be replaced as CPC by Doug Ford 1/🧵

When I was a child I would try and use the excuse "but everybody else is doing it" and she would always respond "and if everybody else jumped off a bridge, would you?" Now #Canada is abandoning #climatechange for #oil and #gas and literally using the justification "but everybody else is doing it"

Yes - socialism agendas work because striving for equality is something most humans actually prefer. Give the billionaires a trophy for winning capitalism then tax them out of existence. Capitalism works best when there is a government that enacts rules, oversight and watchdogs.

Instead of investing in frontline services and the workers who keep Canada running, the government is doubling down on job cuts and AI chatbots that will weaken Canada’s social safety net. psacunion.ca/federal-budg...

Appreciate the high speed rail — but what about the rest for working-class Canadians? Cutting taxes on private jets for the 0.01% may help corporations, but won’t help those who will lose their jobs because of AI and austerity. Canada Strong must mean *all* Canadians, not just a minority thereof!

Write the @ndp.ca folks! Make sure their MPs know how Canadians feel!

#FossilGas is bad for #Climate, bad for business, bad for Canada. #LNG #cdnpoli bsky.app/profile/did:...

All the red tape/work requirements etc put on social safety net programs aren't there to improve the efficiency of the program and are functionally useless. They're there to make the rest of us feel morally superior to poor people and reassure us we won't end up like "them". bsky.app/profile/nber...

If #Canada wants to keep it's #sovereignty we need to take control of our #media 1) Ban foreign ownership of all #Canadian media (including non-voting shares) 2) Ban any individual from having a controlling interest in multiple media outlets #cdnpoli #freepress #pressfreedom

"The risk to our country is not that Canadians will be too cautious in embracing AI, but that our government will act too rashly, tying our democracy, prosperity, security, sovereignty and collective well-being to a questionable product and its reckless promoters."

Every Canadian should know that the reason Canada’s O’Learys can afford to run people over with expensive boats is because they’re not taxed at a rate proportional to working Canadians. They accumulate wealth rapidly & create an oligarchy. Everyone should pay their fair share. #NeverConservative

Western #capitalists have been #offshoring their production to #China to take advantage of low labour costs, an action justified under #capitalism. Now Chinese companies are exploiting those same conditions to export to the west and those same western capitalists are crying foul. #hypocrisy

BOYCOTT We don't need to do business with a Canadian Traitor.

It's frustrating watching smart people compare bad to atrocious and then declare the bad to be good #cdnpoli #politics

In just six months, China added 256 gigawatts (GW) of new #solar capacity — more than the entire solar infrastructure ever built by the United States. That’s enough clean energy to power over 40 million homes, marking the fastest renewable expansion in human history.

Mark Carney did apologize to Donald Trump #cdnpoli

As an act of #reconciliation every #Indigenous language spoken in the lands #Canada occupies should be given official language status. No Indigenous person should be forced to use a colonial language in their daily lives if they do not wish to do so. #cdnpoli #colonialism

Dear @pmcarney.bsky.social & the Gov't of Canada, Please make this AI shit illegal for politicians to use. We all know mini-MAGA #PeePee and the #CONservatives will go full out with this nonsense. And look how ridiculous it makes American Republicans look. Let's not look like this. #cdnpoli

All 3 levels of government must get back to directly building housing as they did prior to neoliberalism taking over

Racist, fascist bullshit in Quebec.

You should care about Jamaica and Sudan even if you don't know anyone there and the news isn't covering it. The anti-Blackness embedded in folks' lack of empathy is gross.

Implementing UBI would give Canadians the resilience they need in this moment.

Food banks are a societal catch-22... They need to be fully funded and easy to access, while simultaneously it needs to be acknowledged that they shouldn't even exist because nobody should be going hungry in a modern society. #cdnpoli #abpoli #foodbank

I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Universal Basic Income since 2013. Here's a collection of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments and studies of cash transfer programs around the world. This will be a VERY LONG and ongoing thread focused entirely on empirical evidence. 🧵

Party loyalty is a weird thing: Mark Carney is doing everything my Father has always wanted a PM to do but he hates the man because he's a #liberal On the other hand everything is doing goes against everything my Mother believes in but she loves him because he's a #liberal #cdnpoli

“He is hearing disproportionately from the industries that represented the 20th century economy, not the 21st century economy … as the rest of the world electrifies and moves towards a cleaner economy.” thenarwhal.ca/carney-natur...

I have no problem sacrificing for a better future, for high speed rail and a robust national energy grid and a renewed focus on domestic programs. I have a huge fucking problem sacrificing so Canada can join the fucking golden dome and buy F-35s from US defence contractors.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle was the recycling mantra of the '70s and '80s... It is also an amazing weapon against the oligarchy. Reducing your consumption and reusing existing things (including repairing and buying used) both affect corporate bottom lines. #capitalism #oligarchy #green #economy

"Politicians from centre-right and centre-left parties alike had steadily eroded social programmes, fostering a sense of scarcity and creating fertile ground for the stirring up of anti-migrant sentiment, said Olivier De Schutter, the UN special rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights." #UBI
