We give billions in tax breaks to oil and gas corporations and AI server farms but sure let's get the general public angry at refugees trying to stop their kids from dying

Morning 🤣

Carney fans, rationalize away! www.nationalobserver.com/2026/04/06/n...

Through backdoor deals with anti-LGBTQ+ bigots the liberals achieved an undemocratic majority. Within a few years Mark Carney will complete his plan for a full AI surveillance police state in partnership with Israel and big tech while selling resources to the highest bidders

Corsight AI is owned by Stephen Harper's company, AWZ Ventures.

Burn, baby, burn. "Three Liberals privately suggested to the Star that Prime Minister Mark Carney may put federal money behind a new pipeline to the west coast. [...] sources say Carney wants to see the pipeline built, and is realizing it may not happen without more public money behind it."

🧵 The Canadian federal government’s 2025 budget has allocated: More business tax breaks including for fossil fuels sector $925 million for AI $81.8 billion over 5 years for military However, this comes at the expense of cultural heritage.

Le congrès du Parti libéral se déroule à Montréal ce vendredi, et nous serons sur place pour exiger un système de santé qui accorde la priorité aux personnes plutôt qu'aux profits. Joignez-vous à nous ce vendredi à midi, devant le Palais des congrès!

The Liberal Party convention is happening in Montreal this Friday, and we are showing up to demand a health care system that prioritizes people over profits. Join us at 12 PM this Friday outside the Palais des congrès to help us defend public health care for all!

YES! Once again, with gas prices skyrocketing, fossil fuel companies are about to make a killing on this war. It's vital that we have a windfall profits tax on oil & gas corporations. This piece by economists Isabella Weber and Gregor Semieniuk makes the case: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Tracking the cuts. As usual this crucial journalism not being done by any in mainstream media or our national broadcaster. 1400 cuts to ECCC is a devastating loss in a time of parallel climate and biodiversity crises.

Chronique | Les deux peuples ont été sabotés en parallèle, dans des styles et des pièges différents, pour le même étouffement.

This government finds new lows to carve out for itself.

There's something so repugnant and insulting when such a generic letter, filled with bland platitudes, is sent to an association of historians who know full well who is to blame for these cutbacks. Many of us specialize in the histories of government, politics, and the state, for goodness sakes!

The Alberta government continues to say that it is not bringing in US-style, two-tier health care Have a read of this update from an ophthalmologists' office A clear and blatant violation of the Canada Health Act and the principle of access based on need, not ability to pay #cdnpoli #abpoli

Two-tier health care, in violation of the Canada Health Act, is now a reality in Alberta. You can pay your surgeon to jump the public wait list and get your surgery ahead of everyone else. Instead of fixing public health care, Danielle Smith is destroying it. #ableg #abpoli

Today's greatest inflationary pressures over the past year: Groceries, rental housing, out of pocket purchases of healthcare services. Electricity inflation has risen the fastest since November (year over year inflation) From www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/c...

Guess what? *American* companies will profit yet again. bsky.app/profile/chri...

It's all fossil fuels, AI, and weapons -- and corporate profits in all of those -- in Carney's vision of Canada. www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

He had all the documents to prove his relationship with his “anchor family member” in Canada to qualify for an exemption to Safe Third Country Agreement banning him from making the refugee claim. CBSA sent him back to the US cos his aunt was out of Canada www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

Assisting the offense is engaging offensively you gormless dipshit

New data from Stats Canada shows the % of adults reporting very good to perfect functional health declined across all provinces from 65.4% in 2019 to 56.4% in 2024 - driven by worsening emotional health & pain, with young people hit hardest 👀

Majority of Canadians say it’s better to depend on China than on the US under Trump. In other key allies - Germany, UK, France - a plurality say the same. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

"The greedy, profit-seeking exploiter cannot see beyond the end of his nose... He has no capacity for literature; no appreciation of art; no soul for beauty. That is the penalty the parasites pay for the violation of the laws of life." — Eugene V. Debs

Really good collection of academic studies in here about how the working class has systematically been excluded from electoral politics in Canada. The NDP, especially, is getting a good thrashing for its inability to actually tap into those concerns in a substantially transformative manner.

This is from 1975.

Why was the insurance industry given a seat at the table to draft Alberta's two-tier health care legislation while doctors and patients were ignored? Watch as Canadian Health Coalition Chairperson Jason MacLean exposes the influence industry lobbyists hold behind the scenes 👇 #Cdnpoli

Good piece about a transnational trend in reactionary politics Following in Murdoch's footsteps, we have seen countless reactionary billionaires building media empires, almost always at a huge loss Profit is not the point, power is and weakened democratic institutions are unable to resist

Signez SVP! Le projet de loi 9 va encore renforcer le racisme d'État en visant des travailleuses musulmanes, et va en plus nuire au système de garderies déjà à bout de souffle.

Recently, @k8ebrown.bsky.social and I outlined how the mainstream media has actively mainstreamed far-right politics through processes of exceptionalisation, amplification, deflectionand, euphemisation, trivialisation, humanisation and idealisation www.researchgate.net/publication/...

Thought-provoking read by Aurelien Mondon. Should be of interest to centrists, liberals, and lefties concerned about the far right.

The war on Iran likely brings a new oil price shock and windfall profits. So, who stands to win? Our research shows: Last time around (2022), the US reaped the largest fossil fuel profits of any country ($377bn). 50% went to the top 1%, only 1% to the bottom 50%. A🧵

This is less than 1/4 of the crowd, btw

A fine day for a big crowd celebrating and defending arts, culture, and heritage programs in N.S. I am happy to report that there were no "counter-protesters" out there saying "F*** Museums"! "Down with Books!" "Nova Scotia music sucks"

Okay, I am being convinced away from my “it really sucks being interviewed” position.

«[...] les garçons qui expriment le plus à l’école leur intolérance à la diversité sexuelle sont les joueurs de hockey, les adeptes d’influences masculinistes, de même que les amateurs du nazisme… et du président américain, Donald Trump.» www.ledevoir.com/actualites/e...

zohran increased the number of snow shovelers from 500 to 1,400 for this blizzard, paying them $30/hour to shovel sidewalks with at least a four-foot berth so that wheelchairs and strollers can get through. he didn't overhaul city government to do it, he just used the power given to him and did it!

BC legislators passed the law UNANIMOUSLY in 2019, when EVERY MLA from EVERY party voted for it as a route to reconciliation. Eby's plan to rewrite DRIPA and have the Supreme Court put limits on it is a shameful betrayal of First Nations and an unacceptable return to the colonial status quo.

DeSmog obtained audio of Mark Carney's former chief of staff describing key goals for the PM and it's a lot less radical-sounding than Carney's recent speech at Davos Grow oil production, sell LNG, revive NAFTA 🙄 Read more from @marylouisestuart.bsky.social www.desmog.com/2026/01/27/m...

In Québec immigration news, the pressure to resume the PEQ (PR route for QC migrants in-province for work/study) has increased, with a statement Monday from MTL, a newscast yesterday that 6,300 healthcare workers would have to leave, and a mayoral media tour. ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/222...
