CEOs and billionaires constantly proving they're not qualified for anything, they're successful because of luck and accidents of birth.

NEW: Canada’s richest 1 per cent have nearly as much wealth as its poorest 80 per cent combined. www.readthemaple.com/canadas-rich...

My latest! This was a hard one to write because so little has actually been written about it.

Although our wealth concentration is not yet at the level of the U.S., we must take what is happening south of the border as a dire warning of the consequences of failing to rein in extreme inequality. Three experts write. #canpoli #uspoli

Watching what's happening in Cuba, I say again -- Canada must support Cuba. noraloreto.substack.com/p/canada-mus...

A new study released on Monday says AI systems depend on Canadian journalism for the information they provide users but don't offer compensation or proper attribution in return.

Good read on Carney’s first year in government apple.news/ACU9dT_53SwC...

Like crypto before it, looks like AI is.amazing for crime

@crof.bsky.social: A University of Regina forum concluded neoliberalism has created universities in its own image: currying favour with rich donors and carrying out research.

"Government jobs also declined by 17,100 last month."

Hey #yyj peeps! 💚👇🏼🌳

have a listen

ctrl-a ctrl-c ctrl-v what if we applied some journalistic rigor to this CBSA media release and set it in context of government drug policy and THE DEATHS bsky.app/profile/ctvn...

Have you ever read Poetry in Transit on a BC Transit bus? The program, now in its 30th year, was championed by Sandy Shreve ⬇️

Every member of a former panel the British Columbia government appointed to identify old-growth for potential protection in 2021 now says they're concerned about continued logging in those same rare and "irreplaceable" forests.

There is a race to the bottom going in with Freedom of Information laws across the country, at every level of government. A couple of years ago, British Columbia tripled processing fees, justifying it by saying that Alberta charged the same fee.

Lewis is simply the personification of one of the best quotes in Canadian politics from former CCF/NDP President Carlyle King:

What would you do if a facility permitted to handle toxic waste moved in next to your rural home. Then you started getting wafts of foul chemical smells when the wind blew? Smells that gave you headaches, irritated your mouth and nose For some residents of Rolla, it's been happening for years

This is a massive problem. Information requests are a vital tool for journalists to hold the government accountable.

The Ontario government wants to rewrite the law that compelled it to disclose documents revealing the Greenbelt land scandal, the Skills Development Fund controversy and others.

“The extent of Canada’s problem with far-right extremism stared me in the face on an ordinary Wednesday night.” 🇨🇦 After The Tyee published @rachelgilmore.bsky.social’s report on a white nationalist club meeting at a Montreal gym, today she reports the fallout.

Recently our senior economist Alex Hemingway with @c4tf.bsky.social Silas Xuereb authored the report The New Robber Barons: A Quarter Century of Wealth Concentration in Canada. Read an interview with Silas in Jacobin

If the goal is to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons then it is incumbent on the government to present the evidence otherwise this is all bullshit.

Our government thinks we are stupid. Look how easily they lie to us. Iran was not pursuing a nuclear weapon. Our government knows this yet they still lie to our faces. #cdnpoli

"Carney has now established that he is not a serious antidote to the politics of expediency that he promised to transcend. He is simply its more articulate custodian." Blistering column from Andrew Mitrovica

The Carney government is also cutting prison librarians to save…$2.5m. This is now a theme with the federal budget - it’s not about cost savings, it’s about destroying access to knowledge and information. #Cdnhist

I just caught the last 10 minutes of the Wizards@Heat game. Bam Adebayo, he of the career high 41 points, just scored 83 pts. He was just chucking for those last 10 minutes, and the Wizards just kept fouling him.

Statement released 4 minutes ago:

Haitian security forces have used explosive drone strikes to kill over 1,200 people, including 43 adult civilians and 17 children, Human Rights ‌Watch said in a report on Tuesday www.reuters.com/world/americ...

MLAs with both the BC Conservatives and the BC Greens say the NDP’s Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Amendment Act, 2026, is part of a long-term erosion of access rights and will make it even harder for people trying to get information from the government. Andrew MacLeod reports.

Americans demand to know who they have to bomb to lower gas prices

Worrying when the entire BC Conservative leadership race appears to be solidly anti trans The leader in the polls is called "liberal" by other candidates yet even her substack has pieces written by the only MD cited in the press release for Alberta's trans youth care ban/conversion therapy mandate

As of today, you can sign up to access the 59,000+ hours of municipal transcripts from across Canada. For free.

A massive LNG project proposed in Quebec is quietly advancing. A Norwegian company wants to build one of Canada’s largest LNG export terminals in Baie-Comeau. Documents show Ottawa has assembled a federal “deal team” to help, @sarahkcox.bsky.social reports: thenarwhal.ca/lng-export-p...

Late last year, a white supremacist dating platform was hacked and its users leaked. One of those users is Royal Canadian Air Force Major Tristan Armstrong, who CAHN has linked to thousands of posts made on far-right forums between 2019 and 2024. 🧵 www.antihate.ca/air_force_ma...

“Even masks are becoming difficult to find. This is a huge mistake. I ask those who have the ability, especially foreign media, to reflect on this situation. What are people supposed to do under these conditions? This is truly a crime against humanity.”

america and israel proving themselves to be the great evil iran always said they were

The cost of everything is going up again and they aren’t going to lower it when oil prices come back down to earth

Having similarly dealt with far-right characters I’ve reported on engage in stalking / harassing behaviour to the point where lawyers needed to be engaged, I can say Canada’s laws are completely insufficient to deal with these problems and I have zero trust in the legal system to protect journalists

Mark Carney was just in Australia saying our two countries should have aligned strategies against global hegemons, right??

counterpoint: don't be a cop

mark has a story about very expensive wine and 7 course meals to help canadians struggling with affordability.

It's amazing people will claim "Canada and the USA have the same culture" and then on something as fundamental as "do you trust your fellow citizens to be good" we are further apart than any other two countries

The Tyee is proud to have published this important investigation by @rachelgilmore.bsky.social. We condemn this egregious harassment of a journalist for doing her job, and have offered support as she deals with this disturbing situation.

Seeing that no press freedom orgs have rushed to defend and help @rachelgilmore.bsky.social makes me ask, for the millionth time, what do CJFE, PEN, etc even do? Why exist at all when you do fuck all to fight censorship and intimidation?

A Washington state group called “Restore Our Ferries” has filed a complaint in Washington State Superior Court calling for the government to order Washington State Ferries (WSF) to restart the Sidney-Anacortes route.
