This is so devastating. My heart is with you, Tumbler Ridge. 💔

My heart goes out to Tumbler Ridge, B.C. Devastating news. #bc #canada

Jesus fucking christ. What monsters.

bitcoin might be the only thing in the world where its cultural value could go up if the people who loved it the most never opened their mouths

We in the NDP can’t lose sight of Indigenous issues. Our plan would: ☑️Close the infrastructure gap on First Nations ☑️Uphold the principles of free prior and informed consent ☑️ Deliver funding for community policing ☑️ Fully fund Jordan’s Principle www.tanille.ca/platform/indigenous

There are fountains of wealth being generated in this country. But that wealth isn't trickling down to working people. It’s all stuck at the top. Our 'Tax Plan for the 99%' takes on the corporate hoarding class – to redistribute wealth⁠ and raise the floor for all of us. Join us: lewisforleader.ca

My dream for Ontario: Avi in the Fed, Marit in the Prov. 😎 Fed. wealth tax + wealth redistribution policies to feed the working class. Massive funding for pub. ed/health/housing provincally. Ontario, let's fight for OUR future together! 🚫 to oligarchs! @maritstilesndp.bsky.social @avilewis.ca

Economics of the kitchen table. THIS is what we need a lot more of. By tackling food insecurities and grocer oligarchs, we can no doubt improve the lives of Ontario's working class. More of this from the ONDP, @maritstilesndp.bsky.social!

That‘s the spirit.

Canadian Hearing Services has discontinued all employment supports in Ontario. The alternative is a Canadian subsidiary of an Australian for-profit org. Privatization will worsen poverty for the vulnerable in our society. Down with Doug Ford. #onpoli #cdnpoli www.chs.ca/employment-s...

You can't reform ICE. It's an agency designed for explicitly for cruelty and dehumanization. You wouldn't try to reform the Stasi or the SS. You would break it down brick by fucking brick, and prosecute each and every son of a bitch who ever so much as touched one of those badges.

A free press is hostile to regulatory capture and capital; it might even support scary ideals like wealth taxes and wealth redistribution during a new gilded era. This is why the billionaire class despises free press and investigative journalism. Solution: No more billionaires.

“Children were in the crowd screaming.”

Jamie is a great example of a fantastic MPP in Northern Ontario. Folks were stuck outside in -39C. Still no HART centre built. We need a government that looks after people, not friends and monied political connections. The North needs action, not hollow promises. #onpoli #northernontario

Sing your songs of anguish, your ballads of dust and of broken promises. Folk music always finds its voice when the forces of fascism sharpen its knives. It feels like we're on the edge of a folk revival, not out of nostalgia of a now-dead world - but out of a new necessity to reclaim our voice.

Piss-ant Pierre survived his review. No surprise there. The Con Party is effectively captured by private interests, foreign influence, and is the mouthpiece of an elitist class that wants workers divided so there is no meaningful change in 🇨🇦 No policy, only hate. No goal but division. #cdnpoli

SCTV Royal Canadian Air Farce The Rick Mercer Report This Hour has 22 Minutes (Still going strong, esp. on short format platforms!) The Kids in the Hall The Red Green Show So many classic Cdn shows need to be historically preserved, including having modern releases. There's so much out there!

Six decades

John Candy and Catherine O'Hara made the world a better place. Canada and the world is a better place for them having existed.

Also, it's criminal that SCTV hasn't been remastered on Blu-ray in a complete series collection. There's a complete era of golden Canadian comedy that is not streamable and without physical remasters or releases - will simply disappear.

Goddamn it. Why Catherine O'Hara? Rest well. You gave my family so many laughs over the years. Plus, I just know John's been waiting to see you again up there. #RIP #CatherineO'Hara

The corporate complicity in the spread of American fascism needs to be called out. Glad to see this truth teller who was willing to quit her job rather than support the fascists. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

These companies claim to value "inclusion" and "social responsibility." I am calling on them to reconsider these partnerships. You cannot be an "ally" while supporting an agency responsible for widespread human rights abuses. #HumanRights #CdnPoli 3/3

Finally someone has said it out loud. Treason. Where is the parliamentary investigation into foreign money and support from the US to break up our nation? nationalnewswatch.com/2026/01/29/e...

Get dark money out of politics in Canada. Look at what good it's done in America itself.

Final day. This is our moment! From sold-out halls to a surge of endorsements, volunteers, and conversations happening coast to coast to coast, our campaign is building an antidote to despair. Join us today: https://avilewis.link/join

When a beloved children's educational program has to spread post-trauma support to children because they're fearful of the images and actions they see of their own government on TV... ...that when you know you're not a failing state. You're a failed state. #usa #sesamestreet

Sesame Street is now offering tips for parents on post-trauma comfort because the federal government is physically and mentally abusing our country's children.

www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/arti... To no one's surprise, Doug Ford is an asshole. An amoral, stupid one at that. Dumps Crown Royal at a presser, but can't be bother to stop arming the Gestapo. @maritstilesndp.bsky.social Drag him through hell. You'd do wonders as Premier. #cdnpoli #ontario

www.orilliamatters.com/local-news/f... There is something to be said about how understated Ontario's reaction to the rise of white nationalist groups in Ontario. You know what else scares me? There was a protest by the Second Sons in Cochrane in the North. Zero media coverage on that one tho.

To me, antifascism is the most natural state in the human experience. We are born with our voices untrained in silence. We are born to rebel against every shackle, every chain, and every lie that domination is order. Fascism isn't human nature. It's a lesson beaten in. #antifascism

The forward looking nature of this labour policy document is fascinating. Avi Lewis’s NDP Labour Plan Is A Remarkable Document

Just say the government is lying. The goal of journalism should be to inform, not gaslight.

Twitter is 100% going to unironically say that George Soros is bankrolling handwarmers, aren't they? Imagine being so incredibly delusional that the idea of mutual aid is completely unthinkable. Good humans care for other humans. Who hurt these people?

Canada should boycott the World Cup and the Olympics. If we are to stand as one of many beacons of hope and dignity in a world of rising authoritarianism, this is how we can do it. Deny the bastards the ability to use these games to promote their propaganda. #cdnpoli #politics #boycott

The amount of US dark money in this country is astounding. I would not be surprised if all these far-right protests and separatists groups are funded to the eyes with USD. I would love an investigation into this and if anyone is caught, let's start dealing out high treason charges. FAFO.

Jesus fuckin' christ. If this is the strongest response that the establishment has, then it really is true that liberation is the task of the working class alone. Do something. Create a popular front, call for a nationwide general strike. Rally to abolish & prosecute ICE and all that are in it.

Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position, Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing? ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW. I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

Canadians took massive casualties fighting the American war in Afghanistan. Trump says we never stepped up. JD Vance says he's sick of our "sob stories". MP Jamil Jivani is best friends with Vance. Will he deliver a simple message from Canada? Trump and Vance can go F--k themselves. Never again.

JD Vance can go fuck a couch for all I care. Down with the regime in Washington. I hope every one of these authoritarian fuckheads faces a trial and gets their just reward.

Just noting that Matthew Green and Peter Julian have been working on a renewal plan which focuses on the NDP being guided by their socialist values and the grassroots.

I'm at a Zoom session where four NDP candidates for leadership are speaking about Palestine and it's brilliant! They are all so eloquent. I encourage you to follow @votetanille.bsky.social @tonymcquailndp.bsky.social @heathermcpherson.bsky.social and @avilewis.ca. We need them all in Parliament.

I feel like John Fraser must wake-up some mornings and look at his phone and go, "Aw fuck, here we go again..." #ontario #onpoli #cdnpoli

Trump being gifted Corina's Nobel Peace Prize is peak Trump. Do nothing, snatch the trophy, demand applause. Like someone who brings napkins to a potluck, then claims they're the head chef. What a dumb fuck. #trump #usa #nobelpeaceprize

If fighting for Ontario auto workers wasn't important enough for Doug Ford to go to Beijing, what was? Scott Moe flew to China for Saskatchewan canola. Doug Ford stayed home while Mark Carney negotiated our auto sector's future – with no one at the table negotiating for Ontario workers.

A profound honour to have this endorsement from MP @leahgazan.bsky.social, one of our movement’s strongest and most principled leaders.  Join the NDP. Let’s win this race — and let’s win a government that serves the many, not the money. https://avilewis.link/join

Time for Canada to defund any foreign-owned news media from any journalism subsidies. Let's bump up and promote gov subsidies for non-profit and domestic journalism. Also, create press councils for transparency and mandate publishing ownership, funding and conflict disclosures. #cdnpoli #canada

No matter where that big orange fuck goes, I hope he gets called a pedo. Every. Single. Day.

This is the way! Tenant unions can be a great and meaningful way to empower renters and ensure that your homes remain maintained, safe, and affordable. Collectively, you can argue against excessive rent increases and unfair fees. Building mutual aid and support is important!
