Mark Carney is the first PM to ever cobble together a majority government through floor crossing. Power was gained with backroom deals, not the ballot box. Today I introduced Bill C-278 to require MPs earn voter consent before switching parties. If your reasons are valid, defend them to voters.

BREAKING: New polling released today shows that two in three Canadians support a tax on oil & gas companies’ excess profits. We’re not surprised. It’s outrageous that wealthy fossil fuel execs are making record profits while people across the country struggle with soaring energy prices & inflation.

"[A]t the end of a federal discussion paper released May 8 is a proposal so extreme it should stop every Canadian cold: The federal cabinet wants the power to approve projects even if they could wipe out an endangered species forever", @nationalobserver.com www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/28/o...

Here is reality: www.cbc.ca/news/science... Trudeau, and now Carney's government is lagging behind the world. While the world is adding solar and wind to its grids, Canada is too slow. It's not helped by Smith and Moe, but Carney isn't going around them either, as he plays nice with both. #cdnpoli

Sage advice.

Science is for everyone! You don't have to be an expert; don't worry about finding the right words. Just speak from the heart. And if you feel despair, remember why we fight. The trees, the birds, the axolotls, the musk ox, the air and the water; they don't get a say. So we have to speak for them.

Will the government enforce the Canada Health Act/stop Danielle Smith from privatizing healthcare in Alberta? The answer is apparently NO! Public healthcare is threatened across Canada. If Smith gets her way, other Conservative Premiers will follow. @cdnhealthcoalition.bsky.social

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

With Friday strike, over 200 people killed by US military in alleged drug boat strikes. Overwhelming consensus of experts, myself included, assess these to be murder because no armed conflict (and war crime if it were armed conflict). 200 killed also raises serious question: crime against humanity

With @robcerjanec.bsky.social and @navdeepbains.bsky.social entering the Ontario Liberal leadership race, we urge them to back proportional representation. We must fix a broken system where the party came second in popular vote but a distant third in seats, while Ford won a majority on 43%.

BREAKING: We just learned we WILL get a chance to testify to #BillC22's many problems; tune in June 2 at 3:30 EST to SECU committee. The *only* reason this is happening is because so many of you have written your MP about #BillC22's problems; if you haven't sent a message yet, please do! #cdnpoli

1/ Attacking workers’ rights won’t make Canada safer or more secure. It will only lead to more labour disruptions, more hardship for working-class Canadians during a cost-of-living crisis, and more instability across the economy.

3/ We need to help Cuba right now, even if it bothers Trump: Canada should send immediate humanitarian fuel aid, in as much quantity as we can quickly assemble. And we should be speaking out loudly on the international stage: US military action against Cuba is absolutely unacceptable!

1/ Whether it's on rail lines or at the ports, or against flight attendants or postal workers, the Liberal government has repeatedly invoked Section 107 of the Labour Code to break legal strikes.

The 58 MPPs who voted yes represent just 40% of voters, while the 41 who voted no represent the other 60%. Proportional representation would end this distortion of democracy and ensure provinces can no longer ride roughshod over municipalities without a broad majority consensus.

That which you permit, you encourage.

Meanwhile, in Canada 🇨🇦

When one of the Liberals’ biggest climate champions feels he must leave the Liberal caucus in order to fight climate change, it says everything you need to know about the government’s sense of urgency on this file. There is none. PM Carney has abandoned climate action at our collective expense.

5/ There's an official petition to withdraw C-22, sponsored by NDP MP @jennykwan.bsky.social. More than 2,600 Canadians have signed. We need more. Add your name and ask others to do the same while it's still at committee: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

1/ Right now, a bill called C-22 is moving through Parliament. It would let police pull information on who you talk to, when, and where, all without a warrant. It's at committee this week. 🧵

Well holy crap. Erin Brockovich (yes, the same one the led the Hinkley, CA toxic groundwater lawsuit in ‘93) launched a website tracking AI data centers across the US and the ecological impacts to the environment and drinking water. MN is riddled with them. www.brockovichdatacenter.com

Companies are pushing workers to use AI to speed up their work. But sometimes the tools just make work slower (gift link)

tl:dr LLMs not only cost more than the humans they're supposed to replace, but while human employees become more efficient at their tasks as they gain experience, an LLM doing a task will use almost the same amount of resources the first time and the billionth time it does that task.

#BillC22 is going to change your rights to #privacy. Friends from OpenCivics put together a quick walkthrough and explained why we need Canadians to stop it together now! 👉 dontsurveil.me/c22.html #cdnpoli @openmedia.org

“We can disagree and still be friends.” Yeah, about whether pineapple belongs on pizza. Not racism and homophobia.

This is laughable, coming from someone who has been winking at the MAGA-aligned separatist movement for years. People who are losing sleep over climate change are not the ones tearing our country apart: we’re trying to save it. This summer Canada could well be burning faster than we can build it.

Memo to the global community: Canada has officially abandoned climate action. PM Carney has systematically dismantled all the insufficient policy we had in place. A clear-eyed and devastating piece by my brother, @sethdklein.bsky.social. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I agree with NDP MP Don Davies and don’t buy these excuses BC local MPs Zoe Royer and Ron McKinnon, are over seven months late and have not complied as of today. MPs are required by law to provide their conflict of interest ethics disclosure within 60 days after the final election results

1/ The Israeli military has detained hundreds of activists who sailed to Gaza to break Israel’s blockade. In the face of unending genocide and impunity, they continue to challenge Israel, to keep the spotlight on ongoing genocide. www.cbc.ca/news/world/i...

When people can’t afford the necessities of a dignified life, it's the government's job to step up and actually govern.

Ottawa Accused of Lying About Its Own Surveillance Bill on X Public Safety Canada is under fire after a social media post trying to downplay its new lawful-access legislation was slapped with a community note on X. Critics and privacy advocates are accusing the federal government of misleading the…

There is absolutely no reason for prediction markets to exist. None.

Protect your privacy! Send your MP a letter. "Bill C-22 is a privacy disaster. We just learned that Signal, the world's most secure messaging app, will pull out of Canada entirely if they're forced into this so-called "lawful access" regime without major changes."

CCLA and a broad coalition of groups call on all members of Parliament to scrap Bill C-22’s unprecedented and unjustified expansion of surveillance. ccla.org/privacy/coal...

Let’s follow the money Canada 🇨🇦 #cdnpoli

People will try to tell you it’s “just a joke,” but it’s much more than that: This is a test. Our democracy will not collapse in a single moment. It weakens when the public becomes numb to rhetoric that would once have been unthinkable. We cannot allow ourselves to become numb.

1/ This announcement marks the Carney government’s official surrender to the oil and gas lobby.
 www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

For non-Canadians who only pay casual attention to our politics, the guy who replaced Trudeau as Liberal party leader and Prime Minister, and ran on strengthening Canada in the face of US aggression has done a Fetterman-esque rug pull, governing as perhaps the most right-wing PM since World War II.

I'm exceptionally boring but, yeah, I still don't want a record kept of every person I've contacted and who contacted me, how long we talked, what device I was using, as well as a complete picture of my movements, including locations.

Data centers are stealing people's land by eminent domain for construction. Data centers are poison to the people and the land. Only the rich, like Kevin O'Leary in Utah, profit from them. They are sucking us dry. Eat the Rich! Burn Down The Mission!

If this government truly wants to chart a path forward for our country, it must do so hand in hand with Canadian workers.  From NDP Leader Avi Lewis's address to delegates at the Canadian Labour Congress convention.

No worker should be forced back to work when they’re standing up for their rights on a picket line.

Why is there no investigation in Canada 🇨🇦 @elizabethemay.bsky.social?

“What’s frustrating to somebody like myself is this is all foreseeable,” said Udall. “Those of us who are kind of in the know, and that includes a lot of people in the Colorado River Basin, have seen something like this coming for a long, long time.” grist.org/drought/this...
