But here’s the kicker: If you keep your population healthy they’ll work, pay taxes and spend money, thus contributing to the GDP. It’s a bonafide death cult and it is global.

“Overdoses are a medical event - not a policing opportunity.” Huge decision, congrats to Pivot.

BREAKING WIN for PWUD: Supreme Court of Canada rules against the Saskatchewan government and police attempt to claw back the Good Samaritan Drug Overdose Act in R v Wilson. Pivot argued, and the court agreed, the law protects against simple possession convictions, charges, AND arrests at ODs.

"More than 150,000 children taken. That’s really all you need to know about residential schools. In Canada, more than 150,000 Indigenous children attended these institutions between the 1870s and the late 1990s. There, they died, suffered, and ached—for their families, communities, languages ..

Why are we giving millions of our tax dollars to churches? #ontario #onpoli #dougford #frankdomenic🍁

And all the orbiting psychopaths supporting, enabling, facilitating, collaborating, enjoying themselves and benefitting from it.

The border bill is ripped straight from Conservative playbooks. "Austerity" is a favourite of con governments (and completely fucked up Great Britain). These are the big points he's pushing, these are conservative priorities, not liberal ones. I miss the days of actual Liberals under Trudeau.

the Liberals should bring back the Digital Services Tax and just get used to the reality of the new America

He was too poor to hire an attorney. One of his co defendants was able to hire a good lawyer & testified against Boyd for lesser sentence His trial was only two days. What did he request? A firing squad. He requested not to suffer. They suffocated him to death instead.

This is precisely “dereliction of duty” and “breech of trust”.

I fucking told you that appeasement never works. He doesn't want a deal, he wants Canada. The United States is not an ally of Canada.

“It is not known who gave the order at the Herald to pull Felicella's op-ed, or whether the Herald was served with a similar defamation notice.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli drugdatadecoded.ca/i-didnt-know...

Nicolaides’ member’s statement response needed some edits: “A recall of an MLA should…proceed when the stated reason is…a failure in the member's core duties”. Blah, blah, blah. “Recalls should be reserved for breaches of public trust, ethical violations, or dereliction of duty.” Yada, yada, yada.

It hasn’t stopped. Bluesky has completely cancelled members of Blueskys Gaza’s community. Israel is still starving and murdering Palestinians. And na_i Smotrich wants to murder more. Islamophobia was the problem to start with. It’s still the problem www.middleeasteye.net/news/ben-gvi...

Kind of common sense, which UCP lacks. “If five per cent of Albertans are deterred (by the $100 vaccine fee), that ends up costing all of us taxpayers a significant amount of money. By our estimates, it would exceed $65 million just on hospital costs,” www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

The Ford government already eliminated rent control for buildings built after 2018. They are now taking steps to eliminate rent control in Ontario altogether. This is shameful and disgusting given the affordability crisis that so many people are facing.

Karyn Pugliese: The prime minister’s Wednesday address was not about communicating new information. It was pre-emptive messaging. A containment strategy. thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

Writing a David Lynch-esque long form essay on UBI from a Canadian perspective — both as a critique on outdated social nets and how the world could be shaped differently. I have no idea what I’m doing or where I could possibly pitch it but I’m enjoying the process. 😅

This is bonkers. MLA’s have been forbidden from speaking to their constituents? How is this in any way a representative democracy? #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

If Dems Won’t Tax Billionaires After This, What Are They Even Doing? newrepublic.com/article/2021... via @newrepublic.com

How much are people willing to sacrifice before they finally realize Carney is not as advertised? "There are certain demands or desires to expand in different areas, and we won't be able to move as quickly as we otherwise would,” Carney said."

"Lawrence Greenspon, a criminal defence attorney in Ottawa, said while the government's changes are "likely to be popular" with the public, in his view, they violate Charter protections and could be struck down by the top court."

IT'S ON! On the same day that teachers are rallying in record numbers on the steps of the legislature... Demetrios Nicolaides is officially the target of an approved recall petition! 16,006 signatures needed starting now! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Noam Chomsky reveals the method of Margaret Thatcher's privatisation. Defund it, blame State ownership, privatise for pennies, extort you forever.

Maybe we should think about whether we should allow antivax premiers like Danielle Smith to make it harder to get these?

An NDP private member’s bill would require airlines to pay flight attendants for all hours worked before and after takeoff. The unpaid-work issue was at the heart of a three-day strike that disrupted Canadian air travel this summer. thetyee.ca/News/2025/10...

You know what would help clear out homeless encampments? A universal basic income.

Great. And homeless people will just magically disappear. Problem solved. You fucking idiots.

"This country is getting immigration under control" could have been said by Stephen Harper and is designed to appeal to Conservative voters #cdnpoli

Carney says he'll build sustainably, that it's an economic imperative and moral obligation Five minutes earlier he talked about building new pipelines #cdnpoli

"We will build inclusively" says Carney Unless your unceeded Indigenous territory gets in the way of a pipeline #cdnpoli

A Bloomberg News analysis found that areas near data centers saw an increase in electricity costs of as much as 267% compared to five years ago. www.accuweather.com/en/weather-n...

This 👇👇👇 and me too.

mark carney taking the time to shit on canada post during his big pre-budget speech was disgusting. he acts like it’s the responsible choice to gut an essential institution at the very moment he can’t stop talking about nation-building projects. that’s what canada post is and could continue to be!

Budget shit today solidifies Carney Red Tory Austerity idiocy. Never the Billionaires paying via taxes, no, just those making under 400k a year on capital gains, not over. PhD in Economics & stupid enough to do 1980s Reagan style trickle-down economics. UK foreign asset, or Harper foreign asset, eh?

In Sept I was chatting with a councillor candidate re: the arena deal. He was strongly opposed but said by now it was "water under the bridge"—a non-issue at the doors. But I wonder. It wasn't *the* ballot box issue by any means but I wonder to what extent it plagued both Gondek and Sharp. #yyccc

The entire council voted for the arena deal after Smith waded in. What did Smith do or threaten? We know she wanted the deal in order to increase her vote count in Calgary, in the upcoming (at that time) election. Why is nobody talking about this?

Just a reminder… While Smith and Lagrange are talking about the biggest factors influencing health outcomes and why they’re profitizing Alberta’s healthcare… The #1 factor that determines health outcomes is made worse by the policy. It’s poverty. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

"Good unionized jobs for Canadian workers" says Carney Just don't tell that to Canada Post workers or Air Canada flight attendants #cdnpoli
