if they thought they were so fucking beneficial they'd build them in their own neighbourhoods.

Seeing Canadian politicians write glowing tributes to Lindsey Graham is embarrassing, frustrating, and pretty infuriating, to be honest.

GLOVIS This behemoth looks almost too big to fit up the river, but it does! #CarFerry

I spotted this colorful rainbow cloud looking south from Steveston a few minutes ago. It started blue and drifted through green, yellow, and red, then vanished. #rainbowcloud #Steveston

What? We voted for elbows up. Instead Carney has repeatedly caved to Trump's demands, for NOTHING in return.

This is a list of the Maple 8. Carney is pressuring these pension plans to invest in a sector that's got long-term viability issues. To be clearer, it looks like Carney might want to use some of the retirement savings of millions of Canadians to prop up LNG projects and help his friends.

The federal liberals and the BCNDP. One has to assume they want this, because: 1 they know this is the result 2 they have other options 3 they keep choosing to create more of this.

This is what Kamloops looks like right now while the liberals are building more pipelines and data centers

Carney and his Minister of Digital Asbestos Integration push AI for everything, partner with US broligarchs, add surveillance powers, and undermining online privacy. The Conservatives call for digital sovereignty, privacy, and oversight. Bizarro universe, man. www.simcoereformer.ca/news/local-n...

Hey Canada, stay away from American fruits and vegetables! www.instagram.com/reel/DagPgt1...

Heads up, Sturgeon County, Alberta.

PM Carney is once again supporting U.S. violence and impunity. Canada can’t control Trump’s chaos. But we can take a clear stand for lives, livelihoods, international law and global stability. New Democrats say: stop the war. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Like that’s definitely what he’s doing, I’d put money on it. Whenever he uses his shock doctrine framing (the world is changing! We have to do urgent things!) you know he’s up to some undemocratic, pro-corporate bullshit that Canadians wouldn’t normally accept.

At this point I’m almost wondering if a Conservative minority government would’ve been less harmful, if only because they’d be less effective at implementing the same policies. The pushback would be louder, there’d be checks and balances. But Carney is bulldozing Canada with conservative reforms…

This could be the start of Carney stacking the senate with people who will vote in favour of his pro-corporate reforms. The senate is one of the few places where his legislation is still slightly scrutinized. Given Carney’s other actions, it would make sense he’d want to remove that “barrier.”

What about taxing the rich instead? That would be a better solution. #NoNewPipelines But the prime minister hastened to justify the pipeline plan, saying that oil wealth will provide funding for social programs and childhood education.

It seems Hoekstra is trying to leverage Canada’s right-wing alternative media ecosystem to bypass critical media coverage and build bridges with the Canadian far-right When he pulled these kinds of stunts in the Netherlands, he was accused of foreign interference and violating the Vienna Convention

"Supreme Court of Canada...affirmed that without the right to strike, collective bargaining becomes meaningless. It is the only real leverage workers have... Watering down this right...makes a mockery of workers’ fundamental human rights." theconversation.com/the-right-to...

Canadians sit up and pay attention here. Not everything the Carnie government is doing will help Canadian workers-please read.

Timely, since in a span of four days we’ve seen a would-be privately funded west-coast pipeline turn into a publicly funded one, and a pitch for a new Alberta-Ontario pipeline *start* from the premise that it might be publicly funded.

As the NATO summit convenes, Putin's attacks on Ukraine are designed to highlight the prospect that Trump will abandon Europe exactly the way he has abandoned Ukraine—not resupplying their Patriot stocks and leaving them fully vulnerable to his attacks.

"That the U.S. federal government is a shareholder in Canadian mining companies is a “possibly unprecedented” arrangement, according to the international lawyer Lawrence Herman."

Our prime ministers and their AI minister isn't at the point of lying outright yet, they just prefer to remain silent on the potential for significant job loss. Lie of omission vs. lie of commission.

Brookfield owns Canadian pipelines, and Carney owns Brookfield (in part, through shares and stock options held in a not-very-blind trust, which the ethics commissioner said he should divest, but he hasn't), but it's all okay because .. because...... can some Carney splainer tell us why this is ok?

Since apparently this isn't making it beyond UK news yet, Rockstar petitioned a British court to section an 18 year old autistic kid under the mental health act for hacking their server and leaking a short GTA 6 clip a couple of years ago. No trial, no term of sentence, just locked up in hospital.

AI is trash.

Whoever thought this was a good idea should be keel-hauled. I didn't appreciate fascist Yankee jets flying over my home. www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/artic...

AI isn't 'inevitable'. Banning and resisting it isn't 'going against the tide'. We can reject this narrative and determine our own future. But it will be a fight, and it will take greater tech literacy. Which tools are bad and which are not? Who are the bad actors? Which politicians are fighting?

The companies forcing their consumer-facing a.i. on children and college students have adopted "the first hits are free"

"AI in education can meet every child where they are." - Prime Minister Mark Carney, April 11, 2026

This is what the entire video is intended to couch. It’s the only part that matters. “We can’t afford to restrain the growth of an important part of our energy mix, oil and gas, to meet a short term goal,” Carney said. “Our emissions will be higher in the next few years”

"Hello, my name is Mark Carney. I have decided it's fine to cook your grandchildren for the sake of shareholder value."

Firing up emissions to satisfy western extremists, oil patch executives, & the financial industry while vaguely muttering about putting the fire out in the future. The Conservative Party of Carney is not what we voted for, but it is what we got. @mark-carney.bsky.social @juliedabrusin.bsky.social

"Not sustainable over the long term.” Well, the liveable planet was nice while it lasted, I guess? Cool that Carney's no longer pretending not to pander to the fossil fuel lobby 😎 www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

The main thing I learned from Toy Story is you should never throw away your toys because they’re alive and the main thing I learned from Reboot is that programs are alive and if you win a video game they all die.

If Canada doesn't reach some kind of deal with the U-S, then they'll have to review the deal every year until 2036. It's like that first episode of Battlestar Galactica where they've been waiting for the Cylons for 40 years and they never show up... Until they do.

Thinking of putting two labels on my next book. 1. WRITTEN BY A HUMAN. 2. NOT FOR FUCKWITS.

I cycled to a place

even setting aside dirty commies like myself, the democratic party considers the left flank of their own party to be a more dangerous enemy than open fascists. this should give EXTREME PAUSE to any normals who consider themselves democrats by process of elimination

"Artificial intelligence is here and it's up to us to decide how to use it." "it's up to us"? Who is "us'? It feels like YOU are forcing it on us whether we like it or not. #CdnPoli

This is the one true recipe for a Reflecting Pool: 2oz rum, 4oz pineapple juice, 1oz blue curacao, one Blue Razzberry Fruit Roll-Up
