Mark Carney has moved Canadian politics to the right. In response, Pierre Poilievre is moving even further right on immigration to distinguish himself from Carney My latest, with Martin Lukacs for @breachmedia.ca, tracks this latest wave of immigrant scapegoating breachmedia.ca/poilievre-an...

Trump just now during an Oval Office announcement mentions his Golden Dome missile defence system: "Canada called, they wanna be a part of it...Canada wants very much to be included in that, and we're going to work something out with them I hope."

Liberals have been very concerned about mis- and disinformation in recent years, so when Mark Carney says carbon capture will allow for “decarbonized” oil, we should be clear that he’s engaging in active disinformation about climate change to please Danielle Smith and the Alberta oil industry.

Mark Carney is slashing public service, supercharging military spending, and ramming through a right-wing agenda—while Liberal voters stay stuck in denial. Martin Lukacs says it’s time to clue in to what’s happening, follow the money—and put up a fight. breachmedia.ca/mark-carneys...

The freakout re: AOC on the Right is partly because they find her attractive and they are deeply bothered by that. I think Zohran triggers them similarly.

As Iranians flee their homes and mourn their dead, Canada gives political cover for Israeli strikes. On The Breach Show, Donya Ziaee talks to @desmondcole.bsky.social about what people in Iran face, why bombs won’t bring liberation—and why Canada’s complicity must end.

Identifying subjects of stories is basic journalism—but when it comes to people committing racist acts, Canadian media regularly blur out and protect their identities. @desmondcole.bsky.social breaks down why anonymizing racism isn’t just bad journalism—it’s a gift to white supremacy.
