Always love to hear this!

You're allowed to just say nothing, Wab

Carney & Canada's statements on Gaza are completely vacuous & shameless Gaza doesnt need Canada's pity. Canada is still arming Israel. Canada must implement full and immediate arms embargo. And sanction Israel. And suspend all military and trade agreements. Escalate to break imperialist consensus

Liberal PM Pierre Trudeau put the head of CUPW in jail for defying his strikebreaking legislation. But the postal workers arguably won that strike by holding the line. Carney may do the same, and I hope for all our sakes that these workers stand their ground. We owe them our support and our thanks.

“Given the ongoing genocide in Gaza…we call on Sport Canada and Tennis Canada to forbid Canadian athletes to compete against Israeli athletes at the Davis Cup and all other international events.” - 413 🇨🇦 academics, athletes + sports journalists, inc 3 former UN special rapporteurs + an Olympic 🥈ist

“No one should accept being forced to work for free, for hours and hours, every day. No one should accept being forced to work for poverty wages for years in a profession, just to earn a dignifying living. That’s what this is about,” said CUPE Air Canada Component president Wesley Lesosky.

After months of juiced-up Canadian nationalism, it's worth reflecting on what people think it is that makes Canada 'better.' Cdn liberals emphasize things like a free and independent media, and yet, here is the Canadian media repeating an absurd lie that runs cover for a state committing genocide.

Recent announcements by France, EU, Arab League, Canada is not them 'changing' - it is another two-state attempt at Oslo pacification and normalization. There can be NO "solution" that demands disarmament of the resistance, maintains apartheid & occupation, denies the right of return for refugees.

Nationalism is a fraud ideology. It sells out the working classes on behalf of the rich and powerful in the name of 'the nation' and empowers those who most embody 'the nation.' Every rube who fell for "elbows up" is being punished by their champion, and helped fertilize its growing racist reaction.

as far as i can tell there's only two ways Grok can go now, either flee to Argentina or be put in charge of the American rocket program...oh wait

My head is going to explode. ICE is recruiting by pitching travel as one of the key perks of the job. Like, travel *accompanying deportation flights.* Literally. www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/...

Canada has only ever had one principle: what is best for canadian profits. To that end it has partnered with some of the most horrific govts in the world, from the British and French Empires to Pinochet, from Apartheid South Africa to Saudi Arabia to Israel to the United States. Nothing has changed.

"Elbows up, rubes"

Wracked with guilt because I accidentally tossed a plastic jar in the trash and not the recycling bin 🫤

We all watched Israel launch an unprovoked assault, it is already on Wikipedia, which prompted Iran to fire missiles in retaliation. There is no ambiguity about who shot first, it was Israel. Canadian PM issues a statement about Israel's right to defend itself.

So… does Iran have a right to defend itself?

When your province is currently on fire due to climate change and thousands of Indigenous people are displaced because of it, it only makes sense to propose building an oil pipeline through the very same land, a pipeline even the oil industry doesn't want 🙃

all of this, on the holiest of days no less.

This is the logical conclusion of all of the "elbows up" Canadian nationalism, it was always going to mean greater exploitation of the land and of people, especially Indigenous land and Indigenous people.

Hey BlueSky! I’m writing a book on social movements and protest in Canada. If you participated in Fairy Creek, Shut down Canada, Burnaby Mountain, Grassy Narrows, Idle No More or Black Lives Matter marches, rallies, round dances or sit in’s or others, please DM Please share widely. Thank you! 🙏🏻

Respectfully, 'appeasement' is the wrong framework here, because it suggests that Canada is motivated by fear, when in fact Canada is perfectly happy to have an excuse to ramp up border controls. ('Appeasement' is also incorrect when applied to the 1930s, by the way, it's a Churchill-authored myth.)

For weeks now, Indigenous land defenders across so-called Quebec have been rising up to protect Nitaskinan — their ancestral territory — from industrial logging and the Legault government’s proposed Bill 97

The widespread use of so-called "AI" is accelerating climate decline and turning online research into tarot readings without the nostalgia and pretty pictures.

I'm going to spend two hours tomorrow morning feasting on the jokes, it's my christmas

Where would they get such a horrific idea?

Proud moment for Winnipeg as Mach 10 get some airtime on the national stage lol

The wellness industry is killing animals, spreading disease, and fueling the next pandemic

Canadian militarism and imperialism is never the answer and I'm really looking forward to this discussion with two people I respect immensely, hosted by organizations that are doing really important work.

Says it all, really.

Funny how a system that has existed for a few hundred years out of humanity's tens of thousands can be described as "a core part of the human experience" that will "never, ever" go away.

I read this three years ago and it should be taught in schools. Every canadian should read it.

BREAKING: Amid patriotic fervour, genocide of Indigenous Peoples called “warts and all”

I've been reading a lot this week about Austria in the 1930s. Successive right wing governments that culminated in a Fatherland Front govt (fascist) that presided over poverty and decline but opposed Nazi annexation bc they believed in "Austria for the Austrians" and urged people to "Buy Austrian."

Everyone linking arms to protect Canada should know that they are protecting a state founded on colonial genocide that still endorses colonial genocide in the world. Dress it up in leaves and syrup if you want, but don't pretend it isn't white supremacy on the menu on both sides of the 49th parallel

No one wants to hear it, but there is no separating Canadian patriotism from colonialism; they are the same project (whether the patriot celebrates it or denies it)

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

Premier Wab Kinew has been draping himself in the maple leaf over these last few days, while refusing to negotiate fairly with health care workers. These jackals will sell you a line about "standing up for Canada" while eroding the very things they claim Canada represents (like health care.)

Trump’s tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China went into effect last night at midnight so here’s a reminder from Ferris Bueller on how that’s gonna go

'Oh no, tariffs. Now we'll have to raise prices' say corporations that were going to raise prices either way

Indigenous people urged to get racially profiled at Canadian-owned businesses

Oh yeah? Cool I'm expecting price controls for food, housing and transportation, regulation of the telecoms companies, clean water on all reserves, protection of workers' right to strike... oh no sorry he just means he's gonna make it more expensive to buy products from the US
