Canada is last in G7 countries on wind and solar- time to build!

I recently watched an interview where actor /comedian Martin Short, talking about his daughter who passed away, said: “She did the best she could until she couldn’t,” and described mental illness as often being a “terminal disease.” We need more compassionate honesty and conversations like this

Kamloops RCMP ask for public’s help locating missing 22-year-old Teesha Danroth #Kamloops

And everyone thought that Justin was performative.

Define "sustainable energy" for me @mark-carney.bsky.social - ai data farms are NOT sustainable, neither is fracked LNG. So, help me out here.

Remember, if we don’t build housing to solve homelessness, we don’t really want to solve homelessness. #UrbanTruth #HousingFirst

This Canadian company says it's invented a greener greenhouse #Canada www.cbc.ca/news/climate...

Supply of available candidates is undoubtedly copious. Note from my recent past: a guy who instructed me I should ride my bike until the battery died aka got stranded somewhere.

Dosage is cumulative I tend to say of these small but recurrent insults and belittlements and mansplainy things. Which I think anyone who experiences category-based discrimination/ patronization would say...... Also you're welcome; thanks for the opportunity to recycle that incident.

"Canada for All" is empty rhetoric.

Again, the idea that Carney is progressive was a political schema Canadians formed early on when he arrived on the scene as an unknown politically who spoke the language of progressivism. It's been hard to shake. Carney's not a progressive, but a relic from male-dominated 1980s investment banking.

Then Toad began to bang his head against the wall

u guys remember humanity @emilylowan.bsky.social

Great words from Kinew, but Canada's best economic plan would best be a climate plan. Growth in Gas and Nuclear is nothing compared to Solar and Wind, even before the Strait of Hormuz was closed. bsky.app/profile/embe...

... the destruction of Canada's future. Massive energy consumption, massive WATER consumption in a multi-year drought, massive emissions, massive noise, massive heat production. A complete loss for Canadians.

Build housing.

The govt's failure to prioritize poverty reduction is compounded by its austerity efforts eroding access to critical public services. It’s hard not to question the government’s commitment to gender equality when the child care program and pharmacare are set to quietly expire in a few years. 5/6

73% of mothers with kids under 18 are in the workforce. More than flowers or brunch, working moms need: -Paid family leave -Equal pay -Universal childcare -Universal healthcare (But get your mom flowers, too)

Here's just one of the comments, in a screenshot from @tabbylavalamp.bsky.social The person responsible for the outburst was blocked in the original thread.

My original response to the "don't be critical of PM Carney on Mother's Day" reply in the Carney "happy mother day" thread. This elicited three bizarre, curse-laden responses from one person. Yah, sure, this is really convincing me to join your cult, 😂

"Political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind." - George Orwell, "Politics and the English Language"

Which begs the question, why is Steven Guilbeault staying in the party?

Carney's been terrible on all social and environmental issues. As PM, he makes a great Finance & Trade Minister.

As a public policy expert for 34 years with real experience in right wing & left wing cities, I reject the false choice that Carney is “right to prioritize other things over #ClimateAction in these troubled times.” Smart leadership nation-builds & strengthens the economy WHILE building resiliency.

Today we’re publishing an important investigative story by Emily Enns. This story maps the connections between a group of mostly retired academics and think tanks to sow doubt about the historical truths of residential schools in Canada. thetyee.ca/News/2026/05...

I am constantly horrified by this government, and utterly bemused by people who think that Carney is better than Poilivere. They clearly haven’t been paying enough attention to what he is actually doing. @althiaraj.bsky.social has been one of the few journalists honest and pointed about this.

Anyway, get to ground. It's always my *advice* [when I offer any]. Get hyper local. Find your people and fight where you are. This is where you can make the most impact and a real difference. Do this as much as you can, take care of yourself, and take care of your people.

This headline also sums up Carney's priorities, as well as the current priorities of the LPC and, it seems, a significant portion of the Canadian electorate. What have we become? 🍁💔

I was having a pretty good day. This made it a great day.

In spite of all his hockey slogans and "all Canadians" rhetoric, Mark Carney just isn't a team player. And his economic approach fails to factor in even the financial benefits of quality health care or child care... Which aren't even the most important benefits.

From Dr. Raza: "The Liberal caucus includes seven physicians. It’s difficult to imagine they are blind to efforts that appear to embrace building the nation while somehow ignoring building a healthy Canada." #CdnPoli

I will say that the problem remains that sports are being organized by sex in the first place. Within the current sporting structure, there aren’t always obvious best choices for trans or GNC athletes.

While climate science warns us that avoiding climate tipping points is now or never, & economic evidence keeps showing us the climate crisis is every bit as much an economic risk as an environmental one, PM Carney doubles down on maximizing public climate risks. bsky.app/profile/sust...

“Good fiscal managers” don’t invest in climate arson. But Mark Carney sure does. With your money. It almost feels redundant to once again cite a ton of evidence that this is an incredibly bad investment, because Carney's cult like followers treat his credentials as a get-out-of-evidence card. 6/

Today is #RedDressDay, a day to honour and remember Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-Spirit people. This article reflects on the history of violence & oppression, and highlights the ongoing need for awareness & concrete action: policyoptions.irpp.org/2025/07/viol...

On May 5, Red Dress Day began with Métis artist Jaime Black’s REDress Project, hanging empty red dresses to represent the lives taken and the voices missing. Indigenous women and girls are killed at about 6 times the rate of others in Canada. Right now. Today. In Canada.

I want to point out how deeply this impacts Indigenous Peoples, as we are disproportionately represented within prisons. Book programs brought Indigenous voices to our incarcerated relatives. They are cutting us off from one another and it is on purpose.

Canada's per-capita carbon emissions are the twelfth highest on Earth, and more than three times as high as the global average. 2/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

I just got home from an outdoor meeting in Kamloops with my ECE community of practice. True story: A bird flew over us and pooped directly into my purse. 🐦 💩 👜

Some unnerving news about the future of the national $10 a day childcare program in the @thestar.com politics newsletter that comes out on Friday, this time written by @althiaraj.bsky.social: click.thestar.com/dm?id=5B11BC...

“Recent federal budget cuts are hitting the institutions that preserve our history hardest—places like Library and Archives Canada, the Dictionary of Canadian Biography, the Canadian Museum of History, and Parks Canada sites.“ www.bchistory.ca/news/13615359

Carney is quietly beginning a death by a thousand cuts for Canada's new universal child care program. 💔 This is short-sighted and misogynistic. It's also bad economics. Given Carney's record so far, it's sadly unsurprising.

I remember when we used to believe Canada stood for peace not war.

Sometimes in #Canada we like to think we have no bias or discrimination, but we sure do ... Even if we call it an "economic" decision, it sure affects certain groups more and it's a very conscious decision #cdnpoli #racism

On this day 70 years ago-May 1, 1956-the polio vaccine was first made widely available to the public. The vaccine’s developer, Dr. Jonas Salk, did not patent the vaccine so that it would remain available to as many people as possible in the US and internationally. Image: Harvey Georges/AP.

Happy May Day, y’all. Everything good in our lives was achieved by the working class. This is doubly true of the colonized people in settler-colonies and in the Third World. Our liberation happens together or it doesn’t happen at all. ✊

How I imagine Eby coming up with this new list of “priority” projects… ✅ Owned by multi-national corps? ✅ Strip BC lands for foreign profit? ✅ Double down on dirty LNG? This isn’t prosperity, it’s corporate highway robbery. We deserve a sustainable, 21st century economy — built by BC, for BC.

Talk about rose coloured glasses. You can't solve a problem you refuse to see.

Women represent between 4 and 11% of people in the construction trades, and this number isn't growing. No one is saying don't support tradespeople. We're asking for support for care workers as well - because the work we do is also very important to the economy and to the future.
