Want to get involved with your NDP Electoral District Association? In this episode, we get into the how and the why with Guerric Haché (quillipede.bsky.social), an EDA member in Vancouver Centre--we also look at great ways to rebuild and energize federal NDP EDAs. www.podbean.com/eas/pb-r5xhm...

Private care puts profits before people, but it doesn't have to be this way. Manitoba stepped up when for-profit operators failed. Ottawa can too. Nationalize long-term care, starting with the chain the federal government essentially already owns.

I’m a proud Albertan and a proud Canadian. Trump is threatening our sovereignty, and separatist talk is getting louder in Alberta and Quebec. A united Canada is a stronger Canada. Anyone who wants to lead our party or any party of the country needs to be clear. There’s no room for doubt.

I think #Canada should do the same. apnews.com/article/euro...

This #satirical article from #TheTyee feels frighteningly plausible with #Trump in power in the US. thetyee.ca/Opinion/2026...

Stay the fuck away that's what we need to know! www.cbc.ca/news/health/...

While I agree that #Canada cannot stand on its own against the US, I find it disheartening that world leaders have capitulated to #Trump. If several countries had banded together and stood up to the US we would all be better off. Is it lack of courage? www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

A former colleague of mine in the US had her grant revoked because she had the temerity to study violence against trans people! She is part of a class action suit fighting the #Trump administrations attack on #LGBTQ #research and winning. glma.org/news_manager...

This #PlasticFreeJuly, we're ready to break up with plastic for good. Tell the government to step up action against Canada’s #plasticpollution crisis and support solutions like accessible and effective reuse/refill systems. @environmentaldefence.ca Add your voice: bit.ly/4ljqfiu

This is frightening.

Hackers. AI data scrapes. Government surveillance. Yeah, thinking about where to start when it comes to protecting your online privacy can be overwhelming. Here’s a simple guide for you—and anyone who claims they have nothing to hide. www.wired.com/story/guide-...

I find most of the Trump administrations actions disturbing, but am particularly concerned about their attack on post-secondary institutions. paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the-econom...

We need to talk about @rachelgilmore.bsky.social Our democracy is not going to make it without strong journalists. Let me begin by stating the obvious: these thoughts are mine alone. They do not speak for my employers. They are personal and, at this moment, angry. #cdnmedia tinyurl.com/mwtpfbze

It seems like a bad idea to buy fighter jets from a country that wants to annex us. Portugal and Germany seem to think so too. We have to find suppliers of military equipment who aren't American. ottawacitizen.com/public-servi...

I love the British people!

Extremely disturbing news about Voice of America. The US press is increasingly under attack from the Trump administration. www.bbc.com/news/article...

BREAKING: Today, the Canadian government has taken a major step forward in protecting public health by proposing to list PFAS “forever chemicals” as toxic substances under the country’s environmental protection law.

My satire in today's column is coming to life! www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

The Trump proposition: "The president is betraying our foreign policy interests to Russia. He's starting unprovoked and costly trade wars with our closest allies. He's asserting unconstitutional powers - and extorting bribes from media companies. ...

To be clear this means Poilievre would use taxpayer dollars to subsidize right wing rage farming outlets like Rebel Media that attack progressive politicians and as a result puts their safety at risk. Speaking from some experience here…

On World Day of #SocialJustice, the Bridge Group highlights that fairness in the workplace must include people from lower socio-economic backgrounds. In 2024, working-class professionals worked 1 in 8 days for free, compared to their more privileged peers. Reduce your #ClassPayGap bit.ly/476H1ds

On a recent episode of #Lately (great podcast from @theglobeandmail.com ), Vass Bednar mentioned a satirical song by #Jax making fun of Victoria's Secret. It's funny and catchy. youtu.be/GFKnuJB_WkM?...

I completely agree. Banning algorithms is one idea. Another is restricting reach for any single post, requiring re-posting from scratch after so many iterations. Just this simple friction against any single post going viral would be a dramatic improvement to our maligned information landscape.

For the next 4 years, look at labels when shopping. Buy Canadian, 🇨🇦 not US. Groceries, clothing, alcohol, anything you buy. This is how we can make our voice heard and help each other, support our own economy and labour.

READ THIS: How Amsterdam became the bicycle capital of the world. In the 1960s, Dutch cities saw cars as the transport of the future. It took the intolerable toll of child traffic deaths — and fierce activism — to turn #Amsterdam into the urban biking nirvana of today. It took leadership.
