Over 20 million Canadians live in the ~500 km long corridor between Toronto and Montréal This is as dense if not more densely populated than many parts of Europe The reason we don’t build this stuff is because Canada’s government puts the interests of businesses ahead of the interests of people

While PM Carney’s fast-tracking initiative has been touted as a response to U.S. President Trump’s trade war, critics have pointed out the projects are largely backed by foreign-owned corporations — and include substantial U.S. investment. @amandafollett.bsky.social reports. #uspoli #canpoli #LNG

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

Was “ELBOWS UP”💪 a SCAM 🇨🇦?

Acorn Canada's breakdown of Doug Ford's landlord-friendly legislation to gut protections for renters "They would make it easier for landlords to kick people out, harder for tenants to fight back, and make housing even more expensive" From @acorncanada.bsky.social:

In particular, they want leases to no longer necessarily remain in effect indefinitely, so that landlords have more options for creating tenant turnover. Current situation in left-hand column, proposal on the right:

The Ford government has announced plans to shred a bunch of tenant protections: news.ontario.ca/assets/files... (pdf, see p. 13-15)

If the Blue Jays make it back to the World Series, I am not sure Canadians are prepared for all of the cringey bandwagon-hopping content from politicians they are about to be bombarded with

Excited to introduce Vibes from Meta. Eat your slop, piggies!

US border control telling you to never come to the US again. A part of our heritage.

We’re really buying this, huh? 🇨🇦 #canada

Doug Ford tells young job seekers “try inheriting your daddy’s sticker factory”

A man on the streets of the UK is asked about the “problem of immigration” and dismantles talking points with ease.

"But Adam had learned how to bypass those safeguards by saying the requests were for a story he was writing — an idea ChatGPT gave him by saying it could provide information about suicide for 'writing or world-building.'"

Spain, Norway & Switzerland all have wealth taxes - why not Canada? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I have a new piece out for the Toronto Star today on how the Carney Liberals ran on public investment and nation-building and have swung immediately to the right. Among other things, Canada may soon experience the most sweeping austerity program it's seen in decades. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Damning. A new report is exposing hundreds of Canadian arms shipments to Israel. I’ll be covering this today. The press conference should be starting any minute now. armsembargonow.ca/report/

There's a petition to drop this bill in ourcommons that Canadians can sign. It takes like 2 seconds and is super easy. We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to immediately withdraw Bill C-2 in full. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

No deal on tariffs Withdraws digital services tax Massive spending on defence Massive public sector cuts and layoffs Cuts funding to CBC and VIA Rail Not sure this was the mandate voters thought they were giving Mark Carney

I know everything is bad right now but if you're someone who appreciates textiles please consider donating to the Textile Museum of Canada. They are a very good museum and may not be able to reopen unless they hit their funding goal this month. textilemuseum.ca/join-support...

Canadians are not shareholders. They are citizens. Canada is a nation not a corporation. Carney is not CEO. He was elected as Prime Minister of the Canadian people. The rights of citizenship and the obligations of political leadership should never be degraded to mere capitalist exchange.

Was starting to have doubts about Mark Carney's political competency, but then this guy with an AI image of Carney as Superman as his profile pic told me to relax and trust the plan

Kneecap is not the story. Genocide in Gaza is.

I had extremely low expectations for Carney since the beginning, but he’s quickly managed to be worse than I could have imagined.

We feed you. They hunt us.

Canada is on fire. The national media is focused on building pipelines for national unity. Oil production is at record levels. We are back of the pack in the G7 for failing all our environmental goals. My latest on Canada's oil obsession. charlieangus.substack.com/p/burn-the-p...

So let's get this straight. Taxpayers spent $34 billion on the TMX pipeline because no private company would take the risk. That's $1200 per household. We subsidize every barrel down the pipe by 50 cents on the dollar because Big Oil won't pay. And now they want another one. As the planet burns.

If you believe that home prices don't need to go down to restore affordability, then show your math (which this piece fails to do). Tell us: What rate of income growth, and what mortgage rate, will restore affordability by, say, 2030? Show your work. financialpost.com/re...

your regular reminder that buying Harry Potter stuff gives money to Rowling and she uses that money directly and in large quantities to fund attacks on trans people no ethical consumption under capitalism and all but “don’t buy Potter stuff” is an extremely easy baseline to follow

If the federal government's position is that we don't need to lower the price of homes for the middle class, then I think they'll need to make some changes to the National Housing Strategy Act.

Yesterday, @TheHubCanada asked me for my thoughts on @gregorrobertson being named Housing Minister. The TD;LR version "high-risk/high-reward". The longer version is here: thehub.ca/2025/05/14...

whenever i hear mark zuckerberg says the research meta is funding says social media isn’t bad for people, i think of tobacco execs saying smoking isn’t bad for your health

Here are my initial thoughts on the 2025 election - what it means for Canada in the short term and what it means for the movement of social democracy in the long. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Anyone else hankerin’ for some electoral reform?

Absolutely nobody asked for this but I reformatted my animal yeetability thread into printable poster & zine files. Introducing, the "Pocket Guide to Responsible & Sustainable Animal YEETING" featuring a revamped rating system. Download links below.

An important message.

You gotta remember that for centuries men have stolen from women. They stole their labor, they stole their ideas and passed them off as their own, they stole their potential, they stole their freedom and autonomy. The past few decades have upended the historical precedent and they want blood over it

Canadians: this feels kinda maga-y…and something we should be using our ‘freedom of expression’ to push back against. Free speech just might be a “use it of lose it” kinda thing…here’s the link to CTV’s ‘contact us’ page if you’d like to provide feedback: www.ctvnews.ca/about-us/con...
