The ONDP has recognized the importance of clean energy, unionized labour, and support for Canadian supply chains in meeting Ontario's electricity needs with the adoption of a pro-nuclear policy resolution at its convention. Read our full press release here: www.thesociety.ca/society_welc...

Sincere thanks to @jamiewestndp.bsky.social, @heathermcpherson.bsky.social, @jameshasaface.bsky.social, Raymond Bhushan, Taras Natyshak and all of our guests for taking some time to learn about the important work Society members do everyday to reduce CO2 emissions and power our economic growth.

There's been a real generational shift in the debate on nuclear energy among progressives. Young progressives didn't grow up in the shadow of the Cold War, but in the shadow of catastrophic climate change we need nuclear to address. Massive electrification + great jobs = a brighter future for youth.

Interesting. Does anyone know how this turned out? encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/a...

There is a staggering level of blasé naivety in Canada's media coverage of MAGA's attempt to destroy our country. National Post and subsidiaries are American owned and totally onside. CBC/ CTV are bending over backwards to be "fair" to Vichy Canada. Wake up folks. pressprogress.ca/the-albertan...

At this point, has Mark Carney made any decisions that Pierre Poilievre wouldn't? So far he's playing nice with Trump, promising massive cuts to federal programs so he can spike military spending, and passing multiple bills of dubious constitutionality. An absolutely deplorable record so far.

Retired IFPTE President, Brother Paul Shearon, joined a protest last week at the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, Washington, in support of Union organizer, Lelo Juarez, where he and other immigrants are being detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

President Matt Biggs adds his voice to the calls for Carnegie Endow to move past Andrew Carnegie's legacy of union busting and voluntarily recognize @carnegieworkers.bsky.social! #RecognizeOurUnionNow #DemocracyAtCarnegie @nonprofitunion.bsky.social

Get out your drivers! The Society is excited to announce that we're hosting a charity golf tournament to raise funds for the @cancersociety.bsky.social. If you're a Society member - keep an eye out for registration information in the upcoming weeks. Until then, save the date!

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew had strong words for U.S. lawmakers who had the audacity to send a letter complaining about the wildfires raging in Canada.. 🇨🇦

If you were a member you would give BCAA your route and they would make you a Triptik, a custom flip book of the maps you needed. The real trick was when you drove off the maps and you didn’t pack a big road atlas, which we did in Chicago, leading to toll highway guessing hell

I'm not an expert in education funding like @ricardotranjan.bsky.social, but with 2 kids in high school & one heading to university next year, I've got a PhD in the lived experience of how our school system fails our kids. Dismally depressing to know post-secondary is shaping up to be worse. #OnPoli

Clearly team Poilievre was casting about for someone who had zero chance of building an internal following and displacing PP. They found him. #CdnPoli

Seems clear Poilievre has given up on attracting new votes. A crackdown on universities that are too "woke" mimics Trump & clearly red meat for the base to gin up turnout. Never seen polling to suggest attacks on academic freedom will win undecideds. #CdnPoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

It figures that the one and only time I've ever heard from the #LPC MP for #hamont Mountain is the time she's calling me to ask for my vote later this month. It lines up with the one and only e-mail I've ever received in reply to mine to tell me that her office was closed for the holidays.

Pierre Poilievre is trying to distance himself from Donald Trump Except American right-wing MAGA media personalities keep rooting for Pierre Poilievre to win

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 "Poilievre, meanwhile, would be better at "putting up a shelf," respondents said." #CdnPoli

Americans, look and learn.

Every day you have to spend on the campaign trail denying you only have your job as party leader because of foreign interference is a real bad day on the campaign trail. Although maybe it injects a little novelty into days of news about your pal Danielle Smith inviting foreign interference? #CdnPoli

There's no sense in an agreement that neither party expects one of the signatories to adhere to.

Carney says negotiating a new trade deal with President Trump is pointless "until he accepts that Canada is a sovereign country."

Here is some comedic relief for Canadians with a functional BS-radar 😂🇨🇦 #politicalsatire

👇 perfectly captures the trainwreck of Poilievre's campaign. Floundering badly & his answer is to take a couple of crappy old slogans & mash them up with an even crappier new one. Grasping & flailing. Building Canada Canada First Boots, Not Suits #WordSaladNotLeadership #CdnPoli

There are exactly zero other ways to interpret this: Danielle Smith went on far-right Breitbart pod to talk about how she solicited Trump foreign election interference to help Poilievre win a Canadian election. That's not just F'd up, that's legit treasonous. #CdnPoli breitbart.com/politics/2025/…

Very poorly publicized. Gotta build up to these events over time - Canadian protest builds slow. June 15-17 the G7, including Trump, will be in Kananaskis. Start organizing now & a really good all hands on deck push could put a million in the streets from every corner of the country. #CdnPoli

"First, despite American attempts to use all its global economic clout to crush Cuba over the decades,... the Cuban government still exists. Second, if the U.S. government wishes to pursue an objective, it can be ruthless – and we should be prepared." www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

When he first got elected, I thought Danko was a bit of a centrist technocrat, which isn't a diss, they're often really useful in getting things done. Somewhere along the line he morphed into an angry populist with an enemies list & a passion for DOGEing 'undesirables'. Kind of sad, really. #HamOnt

Flashback:

I can't imagine I'm the only Canadian whose skin crawls every time Trump says Canada should become his "cherished 51st State". Being "cherished" by a psychopathic rapist with late stage syphilis is the stuff of horror movies. #CdnPoli

Days into a new electoral mandate earned largely on the back of being 'Captain Canada', the one person who could protect Ontario from Trump, Ford handed Canada it's first humiliating loss. It shouldn't be for naught, more battle are to come. Lessons for Carney (or whoever is next)👇 #OnPoli #CdnPoli

Sharing that our house at the Hamilton’s Waterfront is for sale (very fair price) for an amazing area- right at Harbour! Open house today! #hamont www.instagram.com/reel/DGs6DGx...

CARTOON OF THE DAY (By @andertoon.bsky.social )

As Donald Trump turns the United States into one of the closest allies Russia has worldwide, it's worth revisiting the news item below, which came out immediately after Trump won a surprising victory in November:

Slava Ukraini

Clay Bennett nails it.

Let me just take this opportunity to remind everyone what a fucking rockstar MPP @sandyshaw.bsky.social has been for #HamOnt West-Ancaster-Dundas. It's a tough battle with the Conservatives in that riding and she needs and deserves your support to keep a strong and effective voice in opposition.

"daddy, what did you do in the war" son, i archived all 6,793 videos from the Kennedy Center before they disappeared from the internet we all did our part

More and more of the cesspool of corruption. This is the last thing we need in #HamOnt Centre. Or anywhere else in this province. A government for sale can never be a government "for the people". #OnPoli #ONelxn

There's not a person alive in this country who has worked & managed more election campaigns, in every province, from coast to coast to coast, than Andrew Mackenzie. When Andrew says a candidate is the real deal, they are the real deal & @robinlennoxmd.bsky.social is the real deal in #HamOnt Centre!

Great to see @robinlennoxmd.bsky.social out campaigning today in Hamilton Centre. Got our vote!

Why are PC candidates like @SarahBokhPC hiding from all-candidates debates? @robinlennoxmd.bsky.social NDP candidate for #HamOnt Centre absolutely nailed it in last night's debate: they're afraid to answer questions about 7 years of Ford government failures. #OnPoli

#HamOnt Centre's health and social service delivery agencies know Robin Lennox is your best choice if you want an MPP with a proven track record of getting things done on the ground. So many things need fixing and we need someone with the real world experience to get it done.

Thanks to Shelter Health Network and The Hub for your support of my campaign for MPP for Hamilton Centre 🧡🧡

It's snowing like hell out there again in #HamOnt Centre. You know what that means: 👉Stay off the roads if you can 👉If you can't, slow down & leave extra space 👉Above all, make sure you shovel out the bottom of your @robinlennoxmd.bsky.social lawn sign so they can see you're voting NDP.

Nigel Farage is coming for Labour, writes @rafaelbehr.bsky.social. If British democracy is to triumph over insurgent nationalism, Keir Starmer must find his voice. www.prospectmagazine...

Now that Cllr Jackson got his Mountain Brow constituents their road diet & RECREATIONAL cycling lane, it's hard to believe he's going to vote to make sure everyone else in #HamOnt has to wait 20+ years for theirs.
