Quand les fascistes exigent que vous déclariez solonellement que la violence politique est à proscrire, c’est qu’ils veulent s’assurer d’être les seuls à pouvoir l’exercer. Contre vous.

Canada: The industrial implosion

​As criticism of Canada’s oligopolies mount, the establishment media is taking another tack—advising elites invest big in them. Harrison Samphir an @nikbarryshaw.bsky.social analyze how the media is celebrating the benefits of a cost-of-living crisis for everyone else.

I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"

We take you inside Big Tech’s playbook for fighting laws that compensate news outlets for their content. Read our investigation with other media outlets into the actions of companies like Meta and Google that run public campaigns and make threats to stop serving news.

Carney's liberalism has always been about power.

A standing ovation for a fascist who supported annexing Canada. The elbows have never been more down folks.

Charlie Kirk's death was a tragedy. But he built his name on provocation and white supremacy. He said that gun deaths of innocents was "worth it." On Mark Carney's first day as PM in Parliament Liberals gave Kirk a standing ovation. Ceding ground to extremism won't make them nicer.

Canada's in a real bind. Our current moment requires a massive increase in state capacity *across the board*. But the Carney government (ie, Mark Carney) seems to be ideologically opposed to a greater role for government outside defence. Ideologies die hard, even when reality is banging at the door.

I just did a radio interview where I highlighted how many truly ambitious "nation-building" ideas there are out there. The one thing they have in common, though, is that they require public money and expertise. Which makes them non-starters for a government focused on tax cuts and austerity.

Liberal caucus chair @maloneyj.bsky.social says that “austerity will be a positive thing”.

Carney said that Canada has the best trade deal of anyone with the US, that over 85% of our goods are protected by trade agreement from tariffs. But this is false. Even CUSMA-certified goods are being hammered with massive +100% or more tariffs, & severe bureaucracy. The US is not honoring the deal

It’s been interesting but not surprising to see the critics of the effort to put all the focus on antitrust and competition policy be proven right. Now is the time to throw everything at the tech companies while investing in public, non-profit alternatives.

With power demand spiking from AI data centres, in July Google quietly scrubbed its net zero pledge. Great work here from @rorywh.bsky.social and @dariussnieckus.bsky.social www.nationalobserver.com/2025/09/04/i...

Canada loses an astonishing $15 billion every year to tax havens. Jared Walker & @silasxuereb.bsky.social argue that this money could fund public services, but successive governments have let corporations shift profits offshore—while regular Canadians pay the price. breachmedia.ca/canadas-hidd...

Jesus Christ. This man is an idiot.

To be clear, the focus of the meeting is not stopping fascism. The topic is "establishing a new economic and security relationship with the U.S." So I think it's more accurate to say the guy who wrote the fascist playbook is offering advice on submitting to fascism.

How bad is this budget going to be if Carney himself is already calling it an "austerity" budget? www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

In case you're wondering, yes there are still "wait and see" Carney apologists in comments. Nothing is going to wake them up until after it's too late.

Indeed. “it's been easier for Poland to build up that country's defence industry because, unlike Canada, much of its defence industry is state-owned or operated.” This statement is the key to understanding Carney’s overall strategy, and why it won’t meet the moment. Brief 🧵

"Fossil fuel pollution is overheating Canadian forests, spawning an out-of-control wildfire crisis. Wildfire is now incinerating four times more forest carbon than during the 1990s."

This is absolutely enormous! Gratitude to Canada's unions for showing our banker PM he just picked a fight he cannot win. A chance now to build on the united union power that beat Doug Ford over the notwithstanding clause in 2022. There is power in our unions! canadianlabour.ca/canadas-labo...

Well, yes. But these problems (that the US intends to pressure Canada for severe concessions and won’t honour its treaties) have been the whole game for 10 months now, ever since Trump first threatened tariffs against Mexico and Canada. The real question: why have we pretended and acted otherwise?

I have a new piece out for the Toronto Star today on how the Carney Liberals ran on public investment and nation-building and have swung immediately to the right. Among other things, Canada may soon experience the most sweeping austerity program it's seen in decades. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Yeah, at this point you can spare us your "Don't worry, the US military would never obey orders to invade an ally". If they'll serve as Trump's police against their fellow citizens, they'll have no problem attacking Canada if he tells them to.

A lot of people have been mystified by Carney's switch from defiance to appeasement when it comes to Trump, which has not worked out well. But as a strategy for advancing the corporate agenda, it's worked out great for the Business Council of Canada. canadiandimension.com/articles/vie...

Le PQ est vraiment réduit à son expression la plus perfide. Qui s'attache à la construction d'un pays ne peut envisager de le faire sur la base d'une hypocrisie aussi grossière; c'est l'échec assuré. De sales ordures sont aux manettes, PSPP est le chef de la bande et MBC est leur maître à penser.

Canada must not cede any more of our sovereignty to the US by backing down on recognizing Palestine as a state, and the Carney government should make it clear that it won't give an inch. www.davidmoscrop.com/p/is-canada-...

Canada is sending hundreds of thousands bullets to Israel as it guns down children waiting in line for food. Not only should Canada cancel arms contracts, it should also cancel trade deals, punish Canadian investors in Israel, and expel Israeli diplomats. I wrote about it for @policyalternatives.ca

It's actually not a joke at all.

If this is how the IDF treats American citizens traveling with media attention, it brings even more credibility to the reports of their abuses of Palestinian civilians. I stand in solidarity w/ my brother Chris, the civilians in Gaza and all working towards peace and dignity for all. End this horror
