the extremely rare Carney Ratio, whoof deserved though

because you can't put fucking ai on a tape

"our voting right would never be under attack under democrats" democrats:

"Are you really still the Green party?" @zackpolanski.bsky.social : "You can't separate the environment from inequality" 🎯

Every Financial Times journalist seeing Green Party successes today

and then everyone stood up and clapped

i only want one thing from the guy in charge of my security: extreme paranoia

Legal experts just confirmed Danielle Smith's private health care law breaks the Canada Health Act. Wealthy patients pay to skip the line. Everyone else waits longer. Protecting public healthcare is the federal government's job. So why is PM Carney letting Conservatives dismantle it?

prime ministers are so fucking obsessed with more pipelines even though it required an oil shock for the first one to reach capacity nobody wants canada's shitty oil. at least not in the quantity carney wants to sell

I had a commenter on one of my posts insist that it's impossible that Mark Carney is worse for the climate than Harper was, and having taken the time to respond at length, I thought I should share that as a thread because it's clearly not just one person operating under that false belief. 🧵1/

From his actions, it's very clear that PM Goldman Sachs is not a fan of government programs, particularly social programs like universal childcare or pharmacare. Yes, he's a fiscal conservative. Stop listening to his words. They're often manipulative and duplicitous. Look at his actions. #CdnPoli

well good thing THAT never happened

You are a skilful and trusted vizier. You will advise me wisely on how best to rule the kingdom. You will not scheme or plot. You will not inveigle my other courtiers into turning against me. You will not lie to me about scheming or plotting. If you scheme or plot against me, you have to tell me,

noticeable sharp rise this morning in accounts with little posts or history who are suddenly Very Concerned about how very nebulously and un-specifically dangerous Zack Polanski is in

note that trump did not actually promise his ships would provide escort afaik, so this is just him saying shit

important to remember that, despite being a full-time question time guest apparently, yusuf is nobody. a small man trying to puff himself up and act big and strong

Bill McKibben on the solar energy boom: “Sunlight has to travel 93 million miles to reach the Earth, but none of those miles go through the Strait of Hormuz."

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "I am both pro Palestinian & I'm Jewish, and I care about Jewish safety. There's no conflict in those positions.. where some of the conflict comes is actually from Netanyahu, who frequently conflates peoples Jewish identities with supporting the Israeli govt"

"If Zack Polanski isn't an antisemite, why do we keep insisting he is?"

A conservative hegemony can only be imposed upon a progressive base for so long. After a while, that "they'll vote for us because they have nowhere else to go" thing begins to break down, as, in fact, has been happening in recent years.

This is correct, in that Starmer has implemented most of Reform's agenda FOR them already.

"we lost this election specifically and ONLY because ONE particular group of people didn't support us, so we are going to spend every waking minute between now and the next election telling those people to eat shit and go fuck themselves and die" -The democratic party, on repeat, forever

@indiedivattv.bsky.social, the most heartbreaking thing about your story is how common it is. People living with disabilities are not being supported by our governments: they're being attacked, denied basic dignity and fundamental human rights, day in day out.

Vassy Kapelos: What if [a windfall profits tax on big oil] deflates them? NDP leader Avi Lewis: Tell the family where 1 in 4 Canadians is skipping a meal .. to feed their kids, that an industry making $90B in profits this year can’t afford to pay a little bit more. I’m sorry I just don’t accept it.

this is somehow going to end with President Hasan Piker

is there any better metaphor for the democratic party than an old man on his deathbed trying to impede progress

Polanski's use of social media is so unprofessional. He should get plastered on the job and blurt out racial slurs to journalists while shitfaced, like *real* UK politicians

The system is rigged. An illegal war hikes bills for stuggling families - meanwhile energy giants rake in profits. We don't have to live like this any more. Vote Green on May 7th.

OK, so this is not a sovereign wealth fund, it's just a variation on the failed Canada Infrastructure Bank model where public money 'de-risks' private capital in order to 'catalyze' investment - www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRYa...

i remember polling canada writing a piece a month ago insinuating avi lewis was going to further collapse NDP support because he doesn't align with the median canadian voter who embraces the petro-state and is secretly racist. anyways, the reality is many people want woke

The intense concentration of white men isn't so much a contemporary Canadian bank thing as it is Mark Carney trying to apparently recreate his investment banking days from a couple decades ago. It's out of step with where much of the corporate world is actually at now. It's really, really bad.

Instead, Carney is taking $25 billion of taxpayer money, during an affordability crisis, creating a whole new "Crown" corporation and directing it to do something that sovereign are set up NOT to do - invest in risky, yet to be built, Canadian projects - incl. oil and gas" 5 things wrong with this:

with our productivity hacks, YOU can become four times more productive and twenty times sadder

You’re asking us to essentially help fund large private companies?! Are you out of your mind lol. These should be publicly built and publicly owned projects, not PPP’s where wealthy private interests are getting even more of our money.

i feel like it's important to remember that the new deal didn't come into existence because fdr wanted to throw the working class a bone, it came into existence because the working class were going to rip the ruling class apart if it didn't

Clearly unwise, right? But like Jefferies is over there like "yeah if we sweep be prepared for NOTHING! NOTHING! YOU GET NOTHING! WE WIN YOU LOSE WE LOSE YOU LOSE YOU GET NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING" so I'm not really surprised when people get a little antsy.

Carney is a 20th century leader. And not one of the transformational ones who took big swings to build things, one of the neoliberal late stage ones that tore society down. His vision is of a Canada that doesn't do big things, it has more soldiers and fewer of everything else.

I for one am very concerned about Stancil's extremist rhetoric leading to violence.

With what interceptors? Israel is pretty much out.

i don't know how to break this to you, but nobody cares that those people had a scary evening when they do and/or cheer on much worse to innocent people

never trust and never forgive these bastards. I’m sorry but you do. Who they have always been is who they are. They have the media and they have the money, but we have the people and we need to stand together. Hope is here. Embrace it. Solidarity is a joy! Love one another. Don’t back down.

pay equality, then it’s the right to work or vote or own property or get divorced and then it’s “a wife is a chattel”). Do not under any circumstances abandon the weakest among us even for a moment, for they will exploit that faster and harder than you can imagine. You have to learn to hate and

Here we fucking go again. A company SAYING they will make an investment - especially a FUTURE investment - is not in itself an investment. Many of these "investments" have fallen through. Unless there's money on the table right fucking now, it reflects nothing. finance.yahoo.com/sectors/tech...

This won't be great news for the economy either. The IEA warns that by the time any new LNG projects the Carney government greenlights today can get up & running, the global LNG market will already have a glut of 65 billion cubic meters in oversupply. 7/ www.iea.org/reports/gas-...

vibe coders at it again i see

I appreciate the effort but like, they didn’t “get anything wrong” they just made it up. There is no wisdom to markets. They all follow each other’s lead and pretend it’s real. It’s cosplaying intellectualism for people who aren’t cool enough to do actual cosplay.

Zohran Mamdani on CBS — “Socialist politics can flourish anywhere, because there is only one majority in this country, and that is the working class. It’s time we have a politics that puts them at the heart of what we’re doing, not in the appendix.” America’s Mayor can’t miss.

Doubly funny to run this playbook vs Omar who is popular chiefly because she actually takes stands against things like ICE
