Michael Ma collected his own conservative secret santa gift before crossing the floor BUT DID NOT DELIVER ANYTHING TO THE NAME HE DREW HE SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN JAMIL JIVANI’S SECRET SANTA LMFAO THIS DIVAAAAAA

This is the logical policy outcome for a government that is captured by a single industry. Socialize the risk, privatize the profits. It is socialism for the rich while the public is left with all the environmental costs.

Doug Ford doesn't really like being held accountable. He prefers to make corrupt deals with his cronies in the shadows. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Lol, Conservative MP Michael Ma went to the Conservative holiday party on Wednesday and then defected to the Libs and went to their holiday party Thursday. So many questions.

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”. If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

Under the agreement announced Monday with New York City’s Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, Starbucks will pay $3.4 million in civil penalties, in addition to the $35 million it is paying workers. The company also agreed to comply with the city’s Fair Workweek law going forward.

So Brampton’s Mayor Patrick Brown would have us believe he had “nothing to do with” his wife’s purchase of a downtown property in the heart of the City slated for redevelopment. The acquisition was made using a private company of which he is Vice President. 🤷🏼🤔🧐🤨🤷🏼 www.thestar.com/news/investi...

Get your head around this: the Premier who quite literally passed the Saskatchewan First Act is claiming that the Premier of BC isn't acting as a team player because he opposes something that the Sask Premier agrees with.

Mel Lastman told councillor David Miller that "you will never be mayor of this city." Of course, the next mayor of the city of Toronto was David Miller.

Doug Ford tells someone protesting his disastrous Bill 60 to find a job. The gall of the laziest premier telling someone to get a job. He’s a loathsome human and absolute shambles of a leader who has never had the best interests of anyone but himself in mind during his reign of destruction.

11 years of assault. Suspended w pay at $357,000 per year. Friday 5pm news release.

Once a fringe activity, cultural boycotts of Israel and have gone mainstream, especially in the Canadian arts. "We are gaining momentum and it’s not the time to slow down,” one organizer tells @rdassaly.bsky.social.

If you're keeping score this week, Carney is: * Negotiating backroom deals on pipelines with Alberta and without BC or Indigenous folks. * Undermining anti-greenwashing laws. * Making deals with the UAE despite their role in Sudan. * Cutting funding for infectious disease work in Africa.

This is so weird.

I thought I invented this.

Friday evening, we were drinking beer on a patio. Today, it's snowy. The snow is beautiful, though. I'm not complaining. I'll always be excited about the first snow of the year.

What more is there to say at this point?

Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani won the New York City mayoral race on Tuesday, marking a historic win for the left over a high-powered, moneyed coalition of establishment forces that came together in hopes of defeating him.

Zohran Mamdani spent last night with the late-night workers he said are often forgotten — can drivers at LGA and hospital workers on a 7-7 shift at Elmhurst Hospital, before walking to Kebab King and then having a midnight press conference in Jackson Heights

Students across Alberta show support for teachers in walkout

Nurses and health-care professionals from the North York Family Health Team (NYFHT), who provide care and services to approximately 95,000 people, are on strike today following the failure of their employer to negotiate a first collective agreement.

Critical support for bulldozing the (entire) White House.

Good evening. We estimate that between 4.2 and 7.6 million people turned out for the No Kings Day demonstrations held around the country on Saturday. This makes Oct 18 very likely the biggest single-day U.S. protest event since 1970. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/second-no-...

Now it makes sense. DoFo is an apologist for dangerous drivers, including those in his cabinet. Personally, I prefer safer streets.

At tonight’s “consultation”… When a high school kid tried to raise concerns about the teachers strike, Bruce McAllister cut the kids mic and then suggested his parents should have beaten him more. Listen to the clip yourself… It’s… Telling. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. He's corrupt like his old man. Where are the envelopes of cash?

ALL OUT ON AUGUST 16: We are calling for all people of conscience to take action, to join us on the streets, and to demand Canada stop sending weapons to Israel now!

Another MAGA "family values" Republican.

From June 1 to the day that the strike halted the season (Aug. 12), the team had a record of 46-18. The team also had the best record in baseball at 74-40. With the strike, the dream season of the Montreal Expos ended and it became a question of "What If?" 🧵 9/12

I think about this all the time.

Today should be a statutory holiday in Ontario.

Doug Ford’s plan to sell off chunks of this popular beach threatens something we should hold dear #Opinion from @shawnmicallef.bsky.social

Despite recent labour reforms 100,000s of low-paid, vulnerable BC workers can’t collectively bargain. BC’s labour relations system fits the early 20th century when worksites were separately organized rather than today's reality of only 15% in the private sector unionized. bcpolicy.ca/uber-amazon

If we had a left that was in touch w the working class they’d go to town on this. But we don’t.

Today is Emancipation Day in Canada, across the Caribbean, and other regions - marking the day slavery was abolished in the British Empire. My book, The Book of Possibilities, has been featured on a few Emancipation Day reading lists, and I'm grateful! Lemme tell y'all a bit about the day:

Dumbass stupidity.
