So @evansolomon.bsky.social, any comment on this use of AI? So @mark-carney.bsky.social, is this a good fit for government communications? So @juliedabrusin.bsky.social, as my MP, what do you make of this? So @liberal.ca.web.brid.gy, you all campaigned on accountability so what now?

Yes, Mark, but America is doing precisely all this too and you haven’t made a peep 🫤

They want us to think mental health issues are not related to our economic system.

Dear CBC and Government of Canada: Why are you still committed to promoting this platform with your exclusive content?

A proliferation of sexual deepfakes on X has prompted other countries to investigate Grok, the platform’s AI software, but, so far, Ottawa remains silent. www.hilltimes.com/story/2026/0...

More recently, I had the chance, in a committee hearing, to raise the issue of the CBC’s commitment to X. Here’s what CBC’s top executives told me about why the CBC isn’t on Bluesky or Mastodon. youtu.be/lJUeQZlvD-E?... #cdnpoli

You're left with the impression the White House is run by a deranged and confused elderly man who desperately wants everyone to fear him while surrounded by an inner-circle of sleazebags and arsonists who are pushing his buttons to pursue their own random agendas

I am still waiting for @support.bsky.team to explain how the murder of Renee Good by an ICE agent is not trending on that platform. Apparently, someone has been given marching orders to downplay the entire incident.

When some bank tells you who they are .... "[Scotiabank CEO] Scott Thomson said the “Trump Doctrine” – a recent adaptation of the 1823 Monroe Doctrine – would be a positive development for growth."

If some digital magazine was pumping out thousands of kiddie porn pix per hour in Canada, the Canadian HoC would be in an uproar and vote unanimously to have it shut down & prosecuted, yet the same HoC and whole of gov expects us to go to the X kiddie porn site to read their messages to us.

We have to deal with the root of the problem. #AbolishBillionaires

Carney's post on X about Maduro's kidnapping was all: Well we didn't like him anyway. Carney and Poilievre prefer Trumper Machado who is an admirer of Thatcher and openly invited Trump to invade Venezuela. Prior to winning the Nobel Peace Prize, Machado won the IDU Bush-Thatcher Award for Freedom.

Carney’s weak response to Trump’s attempt at regime change at the behest of oil corporations is predictable. When a government like Carney’s and Eby’s—which cares only about enriching fossil fuel executives—are faced with the hard choices, they’ll choose corporate power over working people. #bcpoli

It is baffling how, after Donald Trump openly and continually threatened to militarily invade and annex Canada, Canada's Liberals can tacitly condone Donald Trump's military invasion and takeover of a foreign country. What the fuck about leopards and faces do these dumbshits not understand?

In light of today's events, some are questioning the legitimacy of the FIFA Peace Prize awarded to Trump

Statement from Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre: “Congratulations to President Trump … Down with socialism. Long live freedom”

2 weeks ago, Trump said: 'We want it back': Trump demands Venezuela return 'land, oil rights' to US. Hugo Chavez nationalized Venezuela's oil fields in 2007.

Last March, Danielle Smith presented Mark Carney with the following list of demands on behalf of oil&gas corps in Alberta and he has pretty much fulfilled them all now, except for the first one :

To understand Wonder Valley, you need to know about the dream to repurpose a Cold War missile defence site as a data centre. I've been doing some in-depth research. /more

"When someone shows you who they are, believe them" - Maya Angelou

This is such a damn good thread and the only thing I think I can add is that it is really whiplash-inducing to see how many formerly centre-left climate-aligned folks have in the past few months leapt to centre-right tech-aligned. Not sure if it's despair, stewing in Musk's X-swamp, or just honesty

The perfect pair!

True leadership is saying “If we don’t do this horrible thing, someone else will so we might as well cash in”

13 Ways Carney has weakened Canada's climate policy:

Canadian gov is suspending its ban on single use plastics exports because "the plastic sector generated $35 billion shipping single use plastics in 2023" and "single-use plastics are a global market & removing Canadian product means customers will find another supplier." We'll be hearing this a lot

CBC: 'Too much regulation, not enough action': Carney rebuffs Trudeau's climate policies. 12 Trudeau climate policies that Carney has rescinded:

Unifor Local 222 hosted Polievre yesterday for an all Chairperson meeting: "Applying maximum pressure to PM Carney is the most effective and responsible action we can take. Pierre absolutely supported union foundational fundamentals and committed that Chinese EV's will always be tariffed."

For all of Postmedia’s faults, of which there are many, it’s pretty commendable how unequivocally they have stood behind a journalist subject to a former Conservative MP’s “false” and “unhinged” conspiracy theories (Even sitting Conservative MPs distanced themselves from Chris Alexander’s claims)

When I'm accused of naivety for thinking the world can change for the better, I use this very example. I'm not old & in my lifetime, smoking went from absolutely everywhere, to "smoking sections", to the current reality. It took education, new laws, & peer pressure. All of it - no silver bullet.

When a US tech giant uses its products to steal money &/or private info from people in US & your country (that is, "enshittification"), no one is allowed to give your people the tools to escape these scams bc of "anticircumvention" law. What country will be first to legislate "circumvention law"?

12 ways Carney has weakened Canada's climate policy since his election: And do not imagine, Canadian media, that we we have missed you all publishing various polls saying that 59% of us no longer prioritize a liveable planet in order to manufacture consent for this.

Dear prog people hoping Poilievre gets dumped: Why hope for that? They're only talking dumping him now bc his brand of toxic shit didn't win an elxn; they were fine with it when they thought inferring JT was a pedophile or the gov was starting forest fires was a winning strategy. Let them wear it
