While Mark Carney was cavorting with weapons dealers, Brent Patterson of @pbicanada.bsky.social and I @canadiansorg.bsky.social were touring Ottawa, surveying the damage being done to healthcare by this military-first economic strategy. Read about it here: canadians.org/analysis/mr-...

Yeah. Sorry but that old relationship ain't coming back. Ever.

Leaders are making the same mistake they made during Trump I: Mistaking a systemic sea change for a temporary crisis that’ll pass once Trump is gone.

Debating the worthiness, rights or existence of communities cannot be thought as just an intellectual exercise, it has a very real impact on the lives of these communities and legitimises far-right/fascist politics as worthy of discussion This is why we need red lines reacpol.net/why-red-line...

When AI goes to war, who holds the kill switch? Nishtha Gupta argues middle powers are building their most sensitive military functions on foreign chips, models, and cloud infrastructure they can't defend—renting their futures from landlords who answer to someone else.

Comme d'habitude Lagacé fait l'impasse sur le fait que la « crise » des accommodements raisonnables était avant tout un phénomène médiatique et non débat de société intense. Ce qu'a d'ailleurs souligné le rapport Bouchard-Taylor après avoir étudié la période de près. 1/7

Environmentalists says Carney's gutting of environmental review processes is "worse than Harper's." But Canada's CEOs "welcome" these radical changes, which "reflect what Canada’s business leaders have recommended for some time." www.thebusinesscouncil.ca/publication/...

Danielle Smith insists that she can privatize Alberta’s health care legally. But in a 2021 podcast, she discussed how it would require “throwing out” federal law. @nikbarryshaw.bsky.social & @desaima.bsky.social argue that with Bill 11, Smith is dismantling public medicare with her eyes wide open.

"Jettisoning the requirement to report news in favor of inciting the rage and fear and hatred of your audience before serving them up ads for guns and bunkers is a perfectly functional business model. It might not be journalism, might be the opposite of journalism, but the checks clear". 2/

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.

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
