Heartbreaking and enraging. Either the federal government steps up with an actual systemic solution – including public or worker ownership – or we’ll be reading these headlines and watching communities gutted for years to come. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Solidarity with PSAC-AFPC members fighting back against Carney’s callous cuts. We're in a moment of economic emergency: austerity is the worst possible response. We shouldn't be attacking good jobs and public services, we should be expanding them to protect Canadians from the shocks still to come.

Dear @cnn.com, read that again, slowly.

Fact: "the Liberal Party effectively holds non-Conservative Canadians hostage using FPTP, arguing that any vote for the NDP, Greens, or Bloc is effectively a vote for the dangerous Conservatives. The narrative serves them well, and traps Canadians."

PM Carney’s plan to slash 30k public service jobs should concern everyone in Canada. These reckless cuts will impact the critical services that people rely on. If you’ve been impacted, visit our resource page for support: psacunion.ca/workforce-ad...

As I said, Canada is being DOGEd. We even have Palantir on board to do it. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

Super glad Mark Carney laid off 1,400 food inspectors today.

Here’s a Canadian story that is an example of cutting off your nose to spite your face: The Conservatives decided to blame immigrants for the housing crisis. The news media parroted it without any inspection whatsoever and so ppl believed it. Demand and supply right? WRONG.

The Alberta separation movement is a US funded colonization project

The failure of age-verification laws is now turning into a War on VPNs. The British government and a number of US states are now proposing that VPNs be banned entirely, or only accessible to those who have surrendered to facial scans, ID check and other identity verification.

MAGAs suddenly worried that Trumppopotamus may start "infringing" their Thought & Prayer devices. #leopardsatemyface #Politics #News

Canada has one EV model that costs less than C$40,000, compared to 21 in Europe.

I love that Bari Weiss did a "all hands on deck" meeting where she announced that the media landscape has changed and they have to evolve with it and then introduced Calipers McSkullMeasure as their next anchor

🚨Want to know which Canadian companies are profiting off of ICE and Trump’s violent mass deportation agenda? Well I just spent the last few days digging into exactly that. Here are the companies I found, how much they’re making, and whether they’re getting Canadian taxpayer dollars. Sneak peek:

The only people I can imagine who actually want fewer food inspectors are anti-government-spending perverts, the kind of people who like cuts because that's their kink, no matter how much damage they do to the economy. How much productivity is lost when diarrhea rates skyrocket, I wonder.

This week in things Carney fans have to rationalize... 🧵

I think the American hedge fund (National Post) is getting nervous about an actual left wing leader like Lewis. #cdnpoli nationalpost.com/news/canada/...

We're living in an era of market failure and housing is no exception. Handing billions to private developers won’t fix things: we need public housing built at scale. Part of my conversation w/ @daviddoel.bsky.social Join our campaign to build homes for the many, not the money! avilewis.link/join

Gawd bless ya Uncle Neil x

I've been thinking further about this and I think the flaw is that Atwood was looking through a lens of whiteness. Canada opens it's doors for Ukrainian refugees but it has put up barbed wire to stop Palestinian and Sudanese refugees. #cdnpoli

This is a big get for Avi Lewis; CUPE Ontario is a highly motivated and engaged union, and their leadership commands a lot of respect (well-deserved imo, they put in the work).

This is the union that Save-On-Foods workers belong to, encouraging Jim Pattison to do the right thing (he has refused). #BCPoli #CdnPoli

One significant flaw in Margaret Atwood's 'The Handmaid's Tale' is the notion that Canada would accept people fleeing the United States. In fact we are actively making it harder in compliance with US demands. People escaping ICE will be handed over. #cdnpoli www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

To avoid the possibility Holocaust remembrance might lead to empathy for migrants, Trump's antisemitism envoy claims Anne Frank "was in Amsterdam legally." In reality, Margot Frank received a summons to go to a labor camp on July 5, 1942. After ignoring this call, they were in Amsterdam illegally.

Trying out this UpScrolled thing if anyone else is on there! share.upscrolled.com/en/user/3000...

I endorse @avilewis.ca for leader of the @ndp.ca because we need leaders who are willing to take the NDP back to its working class, socialist roots-who & are willing to take money and power away from the people who are hoarding both while the rest of us bury our friends.

This is a wild image to post with this headline

Good heavens. The Libs were so keen to prop up Harper's Cons that sometimes a dozen or more Lib MPs would not show up in the HoC to vote YEA on their own Lib bills and those bills were then voted down by the Cons. In 2021, The Breach documented 600 times since 2004 the Libs & Cons voted together

I saw this image floating around claiming greater diversity of thought among the right than left. Tracked it down to a study that basically asked questions about how many rights gay, trans and racialized people should have

Democrats claiming China was the real danger when it came to TikTok manipulation

100% Look no further than the carney stans justifying ridiculous military spending, selling arms to fascists, arming genocides, austerity, the destruction of the planet with more pipelines, lng terminals and resource extraction. because "nation building" #cdnpoli

Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) confirmed late Friday that it will discontinue its Atlantic Salmon Live Gene Bank program, closing facilities .. “This is a managed extinction,” she said. “And it is being done by the government that is supposed to protect these species.” www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

It's really weird to me that Star Trek could be so forward-thinking on so many things and yet it's always struggled (and continues to struggle) to deal with sexuality. More often than not, it just danced around the issue, and most of the times when it tried to address the matter, it fell flat.

Dear Prime Minister Carney: Following your speech in Davos many Canadians are watching to see if your government's actions align with your words. Surely your government knows about the role of AI in Israel's genocide in Gaza? 972mag.com/lavender-ai-...

I don't want tax cuts that give me a new pittance every month, I want the government to tackle affordability at the top with a wealth tax and more corporate oversight.

Why is the BC White Supremacist Party (OneBC) always trying to hold events at public universities? Because they want the spectacle. They want to pretend to be oppressed. It's disgusting. #cdnpoli

This is a big deal even if it isn't surprising (it should be! but this is modern right-wing politics, apparently!) The Conservative Party isn't accrediting @nationalobserver.com, but gives "content creator" accreditation to people like a streamer that begged me for feet pics and "Berta Proud Dad."

You can’t beat Canada’s far-right with a broken electoral system — As the NDP leadership race hits the homestretch, frontrunner Avi Lewis is treating the need for proportional representation as a democratic emergency. New column from @christoaivalis.bsky.social: ricochet.media/politics/you...

Smart TVs are ass. YouTube puts 30 seconds of ads between every video. With forced interpolation too wtf. I will always find devices, gizmos etc to stream into the screen. I can tell that the length of ads is based on device. It's a form factor issue. On TV I'm home sitting so times are worse.

The rapid rise of renewables in Australia & the role of grid-scale batteries to firm the system. Don't let critics spread FUD about the technical issues of adding renewables to the grid.

These ghouls are just never satisfied. How cruel and greedy does Clinton have to be to speak at a real estate conference in Saudi Arabia with Tucker Carlson?

I've reached out to all Canadian companies listed here to ask if they intend to continue working with ICE: Hootsuite Roshel Garda Jim Pattison Developments I've also reached out to @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social's team for comment on export permits for Canadian sale of armoured vehicles to ICE.
