The federal government had to bailout the last oil pipeline. This one will require an even bigger bailout.

This is so incredible. You have to see the photos. These workers held the line for THREE YEARS www.publicsource.org/post-gazette...

Larry Summers told us over and over and over again that he’s a giant POS. But he remained a favourite of American elites. Why?

This budget is just plain bad. The few things that could be good are far too meagre. And there are many terrible things. It fails to meet the moment and will do little to address the many crises people in Canada face.

Retain talent? Are you kidding? This is people Musk has bullied, bribed, flattered, and flamed.

USD as the global currency is a blessing and a curse for the US. The pains from the end of dollar dominance are far from clear. Who will pay? How much? In what forms?

Add human trafficking to the lengthy list of social ills that would be most meaningfully addressed by reducing poverty.

and now for your umpteenth reminder that the best way to fight human trafficking is to support measures that ease poverty and promote affordable housing, not to go hunting for hidden coded messages on the internet

Mark McEwan is a basic bitch who has no business judging young, innovative chefs. He wouldn’t last one episode as a competitor.

As a worker gets more productive through experience, how should the benefits of that higher productivity be distributed among the worker, their employer, and the public?

Paging @joefrancis.bsky.social

Everyone using “performative” in a negative way should reread Butler.

Example of how economics gibberish trickles down from the ivory towers to the fund managers, becoming even less coherent on the way.

Well, if past practices are any indication, it will be to offer Big Tech a bunch of tax breaks.

On a new episode of 🔴 @pressprogress.ca SOURCES🔴 @canadianlabour.bsky.social’ @dtcochrane.bsky.social joins @lukelebrun.ca to share his impressions of the Carney government's first budget live inside the media lock-up in Ottawa. pressprogress.ca/looking-insi... 🔶

“Courage, my friends.” Tommy Douglas

45% of net new federal expenditure is going to defence, another 45% is going to two tax cuts that overwhelmingly benefit the ultra-wealthy. Most of the supposed “investment” is handouts to corporations. This is not a budget the NDP can support.

These floor crossings are going to fuel Western alienation rhetoric.

🎧 PODCAST: Looking inside Mark Carney’s ‘extremely Orwellian’ austerity budget From $60 billion in cuts to eliminating 40,000 jobs, Canadian Labour Congress Sr. Economist @dtcochrane.bsky.social shares his impressions of the Carney government's first budget live inside the media lock-up in Ottawa

Don’t let an investment banker define investment. That way lies inequality and economic stagnation.

The most socially destructive people always claim they have to destroy society to save it.

Will Carney end up being remembered as be of the worst PMs in CDN history?

Anyone who claims that science is a true meritocracy is no scientist. There is ample evidence to disprove the claim.

If the federal budget fails to pass, there is one person responsible: Mark Carney.

3. Ignore bond vigilantes - the advice of ex vigilante: financiers push for austerity and low growth, because bonds have highest returns when economy slumps 'greatest compliment the bond market can give a chancellor aiming for economic rejuvenation is a mild sell-off'. www.ft.com/content/41de...

The care economy is VERY IMPORTANT. I don’t know what it will take to get the government to recognize this fact. @offhandremarks.bsky.social @armineyalnizyan.bsky.social

This is naked white supremacy.

More evidence that Elon Musk is fifth column trying to prove that billionaires are morons. He must be getting frustrated wondering how much more obviously stupid he could possibly be.

Just like that hey?

Danielle Smith is anti-worker. This must be her legacy.

A perfect example of someone who is smart in one very narrow area thinking he is smart generally. He is not. He’s a rich idiot. And few things are more dangerous than a rich idiot.

You’re welcome Jays fans. I just tuned in shortly after the game was tied up. This is obviously thanks to me. 🙏😂

Personally, I love a bandwagon. 🤷

Education is an investment in people. The Danielle Smith’s of the world treat it as a drain on the economy.

A massive corporation openly stole a bunch of public money. And the government is not outraged. We should all be livid.

Make fascists uncool losers again.

Teach kids the difference between a reason and an excuse. The dominant norms are a reason. But they don’t excuse unethical, harmful, oppressive behaviour.

At what level of wealth does it become an indication of how big a parasite someone is? $50 million? $100 million? $1 billion?

Announcement from PM Carney moments ago and this is good news. I've been working on this issue with @saulschwartz.bsky.social and @agenestgregoire.bsky.social for years. We've documented how many Canadians don't file and miss out on or loose benefits, .. 1/3

Liberal MP Vince Gasparro might want to look up the Streisand Effect.

Zuck and Elon are running a fifth-column-esque demonstration that billionaires are not super geniuses that earned their wealth and power.

The Carney government is setting the stage for austerity. But we know: cuts don’t solve crises, they make workers pay the price. Adequate investment in public services is the only way forward. Watch CLC’s Senior Economist @dtcochrane.bsky.social break it down: www.ctvnews.ca/video/2025/0...

Never forget that Carney used to work for a company that is desperate to hoover up privatized assets.

Carney must have skipped the day they taught public goods in Intro Econ.

For public infrastructure and services, can we start talking about how to design them to do what we need, what they can enable, how they can save households and the private sector money and create a level playing field ... instead of treating them like businesses (which they are not!)

Communication and goods delivery are public goods. They should never have been subject to market logic.

"Why do we need door-to-door delivery?" ask the people who expect a DVD, some deodorant and toilet cleaner delivered to their house within minutes of ordering it. "Why do we need postal workers coming to our door?" ask the people complaining about a loneliness epidemic. C'mon, y'all.
