Carney caved on virtually all of Smith's demands. Updates to come.

Trudeau-era foreign policy was feminist only in the neoliberal sense where empowerment came through capital and individualist “boot-straps” mentality. Nothing was prioritized in changing the system for women as a class. Carney decided even that was too much.

Every so often this man communicates that women ain’t shit. This man comes from a world with very few women at the top levels and therefore assumes we don’t need to be there www.theglobeandmail.com/world/articl...

Weird how I never saw Liberal supporters call Trudeau’s “feminist” policies out as hollow when he was in power. Only when Carney gets rid of it did it turn out to be useless. Could almost guarantee these people thought “Well it’s better than nothing” when that was the line.

Birds of a feather...

The Liberals' budget -- it mostly helps upper income people, it mostly helps men, it mostly helps war, oil and gas. Sandy and Nora Talk Politics -- Budget 2025 - Liberal Carnage sandyandnora.com/episode-348-...

As Carney talks about ordinary Canadians having to make “sacrifices” in this budget, bear in mind that one of his first acts as PM was to cut the capital gains tax rate, a move which disproportionately benefits the wealthy. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Bro since when have you had a problem with violent criminals? You laughed at Trump talking about blowing up Venezuelan fishing boats and you have supported Israel's genocide of Palestinians. Car theft though, am I right

Well, the list of books being banned from EPSB is appalling. And it's very likely that an author on this list will get their other works pulled too, especially in the absence of teacher librarians. There are books on this list that changed my life. This is what the UCP is taking away from kids.

TOLD YA.

The quote at the end of this CTV article about the Air Canada strike is chef’s kiss/fire/mic drop:

CUPE had to set up food banks 🍎 in their offices because Air Canada pays their flight attendants so little. Remember this forever: that Mark Carney wants to jail starving people after Air Canada purchased $500M in stock buy-backs and the CEO makes $12M. #cdnpoli

Bill C-5 will let the Carney government sidestep Indigenous rights and environmental checks for “nation-building” projects of its choosing. It’s a sharp turn toward authoritarianism—and a breaking point for Canadian liberalism.

During the election, my colleague Erin and I represented a coalition of feminist groups across Canada asking each leader for their commitment to ending GBV. This is the response we received from Carney and his team. If you need fodder for your complaint letters to them about cuts to WAGE!

While Mark Carney says it’s time to cut back the public service, @cupescfp.bsky.social senior economist @angella.bsky.social explains how workers will pay the price in a new era of austerity. Listen here: perspectivesjournal.ca/carneys-cuts/

Canadians clutching their pearls about ICE barely know the Liberals are pushing through a bill right now giving the gov the ability to check your mail, get your IP and internet history, and makes immigration and asylum seeking way more difficult

I'm also struck by Carney's decision to issue such a loud reminder of the Nova massacre when it's clearly being exploited to justify the bombardment and mass starvation of Palestinians happening RIGHT NOW -- something he has yet to take concrete action against. Why now?

It takes very little time to realize that "Trade Barrier" is a euphamism for "public service" or "democratic expression of a way of doing things." If we just put Loblaw in charge, there'd be no barriers to moving food across Canada!

I can't wait to see how long it takes Canadians to realize that there is very little gold in the hills of "Interprovincial Trade."

In Pope Leo XIV's first Sunday blessing he carries forward Pope Francis's analysis that we are currently living through a third world war fought piecemeal, and he calls for peace in Ukraine and Gaza. Not a bad start for the first pontiff from the US. www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news...

This will be something that future generations look back on in disbelief.

Having King Chuckles III announce that Canada will vastly boost its military and border security spending is a little too on the nose.

It’s change your MP and change your tires season in Carleton.

You have to wonder what Mark Carney's other two wishes were after rubbing that bottle

In a time when allies need to stand up for trans rights, the NDP has chosen to stand down—and pivot

This is exactly it for me. There is no longer a skeleton under the squishy tissue goo of talking points and vibes.

Trade agreements are normally expressions of sovereignty: concessions for real access. These are not normal times. The hard reality is that *any* renegotiated USMCA will link Canada to an authoritarian US in a relationship of domination. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

Carney already backtracked any suggestion that he recognizes the genocide in Gaza. The Israeli prime minister is therefore spreading what the Canadian state would call “misinformation” with a clear purpose to denigrate a particular candidate.

for like 20 years we've been doing these experiments and they have the same results every single time and the people in power are always like "ok good, just a few more experiments to know for sure"

Paul Heron, legal director of PILC, told Byline Times that it is “a condemnation of the system that a little law centre has had to galvanise all this pro-bono”. My report in Byline Times on the submission of legal evidence accusing British nationals of war crimes in Gaza.

Will watch the entire interview to better understand his thoughts on UBI, but I would love to see an actual plan for UBI

And we lose jobs over condemning this.

Omg did someone actually yell “LEAD US BIG DADDY” at Carney at a rally lmfaoooooo (I saw this on r/onguardforthee and haven’t independently verified!!!)

It's the biggest tax hike in decades and the most regressive in living memory.

This. Because it is beginning to feel like the manufacturing of consent.
