New analysis of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s first 100 days after the federal election show oil and gas, mining and other industrial groups made up about 60 per cent of lobbying records. Environmental groups couldn’t get a word in. thenarwhal.ca/carney-natur...

"Poilievre pushes for white supremacy, social inequality and exclusion". There, fixed it for you.

Young people need to be better prioritized by the provincial government when it comes to wildfire preparedness and response, says the Manitoba Advocate for Children and Youth.

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt: “The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist." www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

“For all his talk of reconciliation, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s push to accelerate the next wave of nation building has exposed a familiar fault line: when economic ambition collides with Indigenous consent, ambition usually wins,” writes Wendy Kaur. thewalrus.ca/a-subjugation-fi...

One of Manitoba’s highest honours, the Order of the Buffalo Hunt, has been bestowed upon a long list of groups that battled the flames during the worst wildfire season in decades.

Not that rare, dear.

"If it’s not clear by now, allow me to spell it out for you: I JUST WANT TO ENGAGE IN SEXUAL REPRODUCTION WITH A FEMALE MEMBER OF MY OWN SPECIES BEFORE THE LIGHT OF MY CONSCIOUSNESS IS EXTINGUISHED FOREVER."

If your business can't afford to pay a living wage, you can't afford to be in business. You deserve bankruptcy.

The publication of Silent Spring, more than anything else, was the beginning of the modern environmental movement. Carson was attacked when she made the science accessible to a general audience, something that has become fashionable again. #RachelCarson

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

“What matters most to Isabel isn’t finding someone to blame, since she likes herself the way she is. What matters to her is continuing to build a meaningful life with the social supports and opportunities that were unavailable to people with autism in the past.” NYT gift article

My piece in today's @winnipegfreepress.com: why EV mandates are necessary. Ford, GM & Stellantis practice malicious non-compliance focusing on expensive luxury EVs so they can claim there's no demand. But other countries have ALREADY hit 100%! #EVmandates. www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/anal...

A 25-year-old climate activist, who campaigned on increasing taxes for the wealthiest and putting a stop to fossil-fuel extraction, has been voted in as leader of the B.C. Greens in a decisive victory. Find out more: vancouversun.com/news/emily-l...

Good piece by @mmarginet.bsky.social on the new Winnipeg Transit routes.

A new impeachable offense every single day.

Almost 300 people braved the rain Saturday afternoon to demand Premier Wab Kinew and the NDP government take action on climate change.

Here's NDP MP @LeahGazan talking about Indigenous rights as the new Parliament settles in.

This is an outrage. It has the same stench as when Ralph Klein tried to use the notwithstanding clause to limit compensation to victims of involuntary sterilization or prevent recognition of same-sex marriage. Albertans must stand up to this tin-pot dictator. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Friends!! That'll Never Work Here by @pattybikes.com is now out in the world! You can pre-order from McNally or your favourite bookstore for release on Oct 28. This is Book 2 in The City Project series, and I am so proud of Patty, and to have been part of this book's journey!

We have weakened our environmental regulations so won't meet 2030 GHG targets. Curious if our provincial and federal governments have kids?

Just minutes before Premier Wab Kinew announced a $20-million commitment to help build a new facility for the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation at the University of Manitoba, a young eagle flew over the assembled crowd.

See, USA? That's how it's done.

When members of the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Winnipeg became concerned about the stability of the riverbank behind their Wellington Crescent meeting place, they decided to plant trees.

The Assembly of First Nations annual general assembly kicked off in Winnipeg. It comes on the heels of Bill C-5, which was rammed through Parliament this spring. There are First Nations concerns the bill will be used to override inherent treaty rights.

“Despite what Pierre Poilievre would have you believe, the vast majority of Canadians agree that increasing trans acceptance is a sign of social progress. The Conservatives continue to attack a tiny, vulnerable minority to score cheap points with the anti-woke crowd.”

Happy LABOUR Day

From the FB... At least one school has resorted to donating books to the public because they simply don't have the resources to catalog all of the books by Smith's deadline. This is absolutely surreal. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Alberta is banning The Handmaid’s Tale in schools.

Poor air quality from wildfires projected to reduce life expectancy in Canada “Pollution from wildfires remains the greatest external threat to human life expectancy, period.”

As Pierre Poilievre takes the easiest route possible to weasel his way back into Parliament, a large majority of Canadians disapprove of the Conservative Party leader.

3 months, ~20,000kms, thousands of doors, & I've finally rolled in off the Campaign trail. From First Nations & Métis, to Hutterites, to new Canadians, to 3rd & 4th generation farmers, to small business owners, I have spoken to as many of our neighbors as possible. So my platform came into being:

'Instead, the worst of the fires have been concentrated in the prairie provinces and the Atlantic region, with bone-dry conditions upending how Canada responds to a threat which is only likely to grow as the climate warms.' #wildfires #climate #science #canada #ecology #drought

@liberalca.bsky.social why are you betraying the disproportionately female base by siding with corporate for the labour exploitation of women after announcing cutting WAGE by 80% and despite tabling nothing to directly address the affordability crisis. Good luck with this news cycle

Every time there's a strike, the big tough "let the market decide" business community becomes soft little uwus who need daddy government to swoop in and save them from the mean strikers.

“The Liberals are violating our Charter rights to take job action and give Air Canada exactly what they want — hours and hours of unpaid labour from underpaid flight attendants, while the company pulls in sky-high profits and extraordinary executive compensation”

The Air Canada strike isn’t just about delayed vacations. It’s about workers fighting unfair wages and poor conditions. Media coverage that centers inconvenience over injustice is not just lazy—it’s complicit.

What is the message Air Canada management thinks it's sending by publicly attacking its own employees with anti-union posts like this? Air Canada hires and employs bad flight attendants who are selfish truants that don't care about their customers? Kinda shooting themselves in their own foot here.
