@mark-carney.bsky.social Canada Post is a service, not a business. For folks who live in rural and remote areas of this vast country, it's a life line. I gladly pay taxes so these folks can receive mail and parcels.

@mark-carney.bsky.social Canada Post is an essential service. It is not a business. I pay taxes so folks can have access to services like Canada Post.

Trump just signed an illegal executive order designed to target his political opposition by designating them terrorists and using the DOJ, IRS, FBI, and the JTTF to investigate and charge liberal organizations, funders, members, and protesters. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Alejandra is not overselling this. This executive order, if weaponized by a lawless administration like Trump, could lead to the dismantling of institutional/nonprofit opposition to Trump. It can also be used for surveillance and disruption ops similar to the civil rights era and red scare.

Slow civil war is just that, slow; and then fascism burps, and it jolts ahead. Read the whole terror memo. Read about Comey. Consider the generals. Read this passage. Note what’s now called “terror.” And what “funding” it means. I want to say this is in-the-street news, but I think it may be worse.

Protecting their own citizens from being kidnapped while trying to deliver baby formula to starving children?

Dear goofballs: Public services are not "money losses". They are public services paid for with public money.

100% right!

Proud that @burnetinstitute.bsky.social and the @science.org.au came together to drive this. Lots of partners and support too. Bronwyn King and Anna Maria Arabia are very effective change-makers.

Wow — Italy and Spain have now both officially announced they're sending military ships to support the Gaza aid flotilla

That reminded me of a favorite quote from Lester Pearson, a former Canadian Prime Minister and a Nobel Peace Prize laureate.

Wrote something similar on how Black women are being impacted... daniellemkoonce.com/2025/09/19/p...

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

Two Indigenous women say the growing spread of residential school denialism is the reason they a wrote a book on the subject. Decolonization and Me was released by Phyllis Webstad, who started Orange Shirt Day, and Métis scholar Kristy McLeod.

⚠️TYLENOL & AUTISM—RFK Jr & Trump are wrong—the largest best study in the world in 2.5 MILLION KIDS—found no increased autism risk with acetaminophen (aka paracetamol/Tylenol). A crude analysis found only a tiny 5% risk, but once you adjust via sibling controls, the even tiny 5% risk vaporizes to 0%📉

The @washingtonpost.com story on Tylenol & autism leaves out a MAJOR 2.5M sibling-controlled study of children in Denmark, which "found no evidence that acetaminophen use during pregnancy was associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD or intellectual disability." jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

National anthems are the idolatrous hymns of choice for the Empire church. And the Empire church is the opposite direction of following Jesus.

Since most of us can agree on the evil of political violence: it’s never a bad time to revisit the budget of the Department of War or how much money has been spent funding apartheid & genocide. PLEASE acquaint yourself with the definition of “political violence” before reacting.

Words of wisdom for taming one's tongue and heart: "It is rethinking the value of others made in God's image, so that you can bless God fully by blessing their creation with your language and with your life" ~ Chris Barnes youtu.be/69-NowFtV-k?...

Hate masquerading around as "Christian" is still hate. In fact it's worse. It is attempting to sanctify hate. It is one of the most common ways of taking Christ's name in vain. @brcremer.bsky.social

@mark-carney.bsky.social Recognizing the State of Palestine is only step one. We need to recognize the ongoing genocide (and call it a genocide) and act accordingly by placing sanctions on Israel Silence = Complicity

This is what keeps me up at night. How do you sleep at night @mark-carney.bsky.social knowing your government is still sending weapons to Israel to commit genocide in Gaza?

“In my opinion, we lose 300K plus a year to fentanyl” There were 48K deaths involving synthetic opioids like fentanyl in 2024. None of them would have been prevented by extrajudicial murder of foreign citizens.

Recognition of a Palestinian state without meaningful action to stop the genocide taking place right now promises to be performative, at best—much like Canada's commitment to 'reconciliation' while it actively ignores and undermines its commitments to complete the TRC's 94 Calls to Action.

Okay, so no more weapons or funding of weapons to Israel, right?

This is absolutely progress in the right direction - please keep taking further material steps to end Israel’s genocide and protect the innocent people of Gaza.

You don't mention the civilians, particularly women and children, indiscriminately killed by Israel and recognised by the UN as amounting to a Genocide. Which requires a stronger response from Canada, including sanctions

Excellent! Now, recognize the ongoing genocide in Gaza, and place sanctions on Israel until the Israeli government stops the indiscriminate maiming and killing of Palestinians. Silence = complicity.

Britain, Australia, Canada & others recognize Palestinian statehood -good decision - no, it's not a reward to Hamas: statehood is the best tool to fight terrorism -meaningless if not accompanied by a broader push for peace & reform in the Palestinisn Authority www.nytimes.com/2025/09/21/w...

This 👇 We can see what is happening south of the border...Poilievre is the pathway to the same thing happening in Canada. A wolf in lambs clothing is still a wolf.

Thousands of activists marched down Park Avenue and turned down Billionaires’ Row toward Trump Tower in New York Saturday to “Make Billionaires Pay,” calling for climate justice, democracy, free speech, gender equality, a stop to the Trump’s immigration crackdown and a ceasefire in Gaza.

This statement from a guy who has never made a deal that was constitutional, reminder under Harper the few bills that he got passed were deemed unconstitutional and against Canadians rights and freedoms under our charter, which were overturned by the Supreme Court. Poilievre is an idiot.

I’ve advised Helsinki, Finland a few times in the past, and among the many conversations I’ve had with the Finns, we’ve talked about what it’s like to live right next to an aggressive dictatorship like Russia. I’m not the first one to say it, but Canada needs to be vigorously learning from Finland.
