Canada’s wealth gap is the widest it’s been in StatCan’s recorded history. You’d think Carney would focus on that -- not privatization. In fact, “Carney’s policies will only make inequality even worse," @dtcochrane.bsky.social, a senior economist with the Canadian Labour Congress, told me. Uh oh:

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...

Harassment, burnout, and compounding crises are pushing municipal politicians across Canada out of office. In Quebec alone, 1,115 mayors and councillors elected in 2021 left mid-term. Sandrine Rastello examines why local democracy can’t retain its leaders: https://ow.ly/KvCT50YOhMu

My latest for PressProgress: an interview with the mayor of Fort Erie about how the proposed changes to Niagara Region from the province will affect the people living there.

Sure, Brian. The jealous, woke mob took the premier's plane away.

@gotransit.bsky.social had no plan for replacing the Lakeshore East train. Not nearly enough backup busses. People standing in the aisles on the bus and still 100’s of ppl waiting in the concourse. Jays + Raptors game and zero plan from Metrolinx management. www.metrolinx.com/en/about-us/...

For everyone complaining about creeping authoritarianism to the south, can we look at Doug Ford's contempt of democracy for a minute www.thestar.com/gift-redeem?...

Ooof. Quite a week for Carney fans and their task of reconciling his actions with their belief in who he is. Let's review. 🧵

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

This is Koyuki. Please do not disturb her. She's in ice cream scoop mode right now. Needs to focus. 12/10 (IG: fuji_bull)

friend sent this over from the other place and unfortunately I did laugh

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits. The military industrial complex is cheering today.

Fuck these insane men reigning death around the world.

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

If we did an honest look at externalities, AI massively *subtracted* from the economy. Mass water and power usage for dancing panda videos are value-negative.

Let’s not forget that Paul Calandra, one of the most incompetent, insufferable, intransigent fools to fail upwards in our political hellscape, has zero qualifications to be Education Minister. He has NOTHING to contribute to the system. And to be clear -his mission is to destroy it.

Full house for tonight’s Education Townhall, hosted by NDP MPP & Education Critic Chandra Pasma. Doug Ford continues to fail students, teachers, parents, and by extension, the entirety of the province with his cuts to education. #ontpoli #publiceducation

Tomorrow evening Peterborough!!! @ptboyndp.bsky.social @ptbondp.bsky.social

One needs look no further than Cuba to validation for those of us who saw through Carney's Davos speech. Yes he exposed the lie but only to call for a restoration of the lie

Billionaires will spend tens of millions of dollars to fight a wealth tax, instead of just paying their fucking taxes. 🙄😤 #endbillionaires

Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.

some of you are looksmaxxing when you need to be booksmaxxing

GOLD FOR KAZAKHSTAN in MENS FIGURE SKATING I AM SO PEOUD OF THIS GUY! Way to go Mikhail Shaidorov!!!

Rates of harassment are up, hate crimes are up, general incivility seems to be the norm these days. There's a general sense that "Things suck but we're powerless to do anything about it." Not true, babes! Let me teach you community care! Register: zoom.us/webinar/regi...

If you have read Parable of the Sower & Parable of the Talents, you aren’t surprised by this. Horrifying but Butler knew what was coming.

Doug Ford is convincing you to remove the social safety net for marginalized people. You will vote for it. Your children will not have any social safety net because of your choices. When you vote to remove benefits from others eventually it’ll affect you and yours where you have no benefits either

“The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.”

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

What the US is doing to Cuba is fucking immoral and inhumane. The evil pedo empire needs to be brought down, and soon.

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

“This morning, I spoke to a really senior adviser to Pierre Poilievre, and he said that it took him all hell’s work to convince Pierre to finally take up anti-immigration status. And that’s happening”

I cannot sufficiently underline how despicable it is that the IOC has required Haitian Olympic athletes to remove an image representing the leader of the Haitian Revolution (against SLAVERY) from their uniforms.

It’s actually exactly what we expect to see in the US. Do Americans not learn about HUAC, Jim Crow, COINTELPRO, etc? Always feigning shock despite the fact the entire country was born and bred of violence.

While Poilievre and his MPs talked up being the “party of Canadian workers,” the Conservative's new top council shows other priorities. Our analysis shows half the council are recent or active lobbyists for oil & gas, Big Tech, telecoms and pharma giants. breachmedia.ca/pierre-poili...

#Ptbo city council upholds councillor phone ban in new procedure by-law but reverses course on delegation limit. Council adopted an amendment to allow four delegations per agenda item following suggestion from former mayor Diane Therrien-Hale. kawarthanow.com/2026/02/03/p...

Donate blood if you’re able to! You save lives, and get chips. #winwin

Truly disappointing moment in Peterborough history.

Therrien-Hale adds that proceeding with this change on phones will alienate younger people from running for council. She also adds that limiting public delegations to 10 is highly problematic and "borderline discriminatory" against those without reliable access to technology.
