China for First Time Promises to Reduce Its Greenhouse Gas Emissions For all the people who said caring about climate change didn't matter since China wasn't doing anything, what's your excuse now? #cdnpoli

This is a game changer. How will it effect negotiations of CUSMA?

In BC, on average, international students pay 400% higher tuition fees than domestic students. There is also no cap on increasing tuition fees whereas there is for domestic students. Institutions rely on international students because of prov & fed govt cuts to funding post-secondary education.

I wrote about the financial difficulties post-secondary education is facing due to the international student visa caps at Nexus. It's extremely grim. The BC govt needs to reverse the education for profit model Christy Clark put in place and properly fund post-secondary education. But will they?

Canada wants to hold who accountable? They don't say. Meanwhile, Israel has taken responsibility for the airstrike. So why can't the Canadian govt name Israel? Journalists are the eyes & ears to what's going on in Gaza. Without them, Israel controls the narrative.

The court hs decided removing hospital privileges for a doctor who refused the covid vaccine was a consequence of her actions, and that the Charter doesn't apply. Justice Wilson also said IF the Charter applied, it doesn't protect the right to work in a particular field.

Never forgive men for treating programming as a meaningless thing your secretary did while women were inventing and developing the field, then, once they realized it was going to be important, shoving women out of it and claiming only Male Logic Brains could perform it.

Okay I am going to need everyone who identifies as a "leftist" of any stripe, whether an anarchist or a communist or a socialist or something else, to STOP TELLING MARGINALIZED PEOPLE THEY DON'T NEED LAWYERS. No, ignoring an eviction or criminal summons is ABSOLUTELY NOT "boycotting the system."

Sure, it won't be a problem if my kid takes the large suitcase and the carry on suitcase to Europe for six weeks. I'm not going anywhere. Less than a week later... I need a suitcase for an emergency trip to visit family. Gotta love how universe works sometimes.

"This flood of joke candidates doesn't just waste voters' time. It actively hurts serious Independent and third-party candidates who are working hard to give this riding real alternatives." Valid point for not running "The Longest Ballot Protest" during the Crowfoot-Battleford by-election.

An AI that has had nicknames referencing Hitler is now going to be used by the US govt. Putting that in perspective, while ICE rampages through the US, the Department of Defense gets an antisemitic AI. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

People have asked me who are not on #cdnpoli Tiktok for the source material about the scandal, here it is and I hope we can all make better choices about who we platform from now on.

Meet the new CEO of X: this ouija board that speaks directly to Hitler's ghost

Telling people birthright citizenship is a custom, rather than law, is misleading to further a particular political agenda, IMO. Propaganda 1. information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view. Oxford Dictionary

The funding crisis in post-secondary education is happening across Canada. The longer govts wait to significantly increase funding, and not just inflation increases, the more they put our post-secondary education at risk.

While it's important to vote, that's the bare minimum one can do to be part of democracy. We are part of the checks & balances of govt. If we don't tell our MPs what we want, we leave them guessing. If you disagree with Carney or Bills that are introduced, don't wait to vote, CALL YOUR MP!

This can't become normal. You loose an election in one riding then just try a second time in a differentriding....in the same electron cycle!!!

Canada v ICE: -one Canadian died in ICE custody, -two Canadians detained while trying to obtain work visas, and -one Canadian detained while arriving at an immigration hearing in proceedings that started two years ago (she's also married to an American citizen).

I'm curious what the constituents of Battle River-Crowfoot think about this by-election.

If you thought BC United was bad, well the right just got worse. A pro-life, anti-LGBTQ+, anti-reconciliation, anti-immigration, anti-govt health care, and tax free BC chasing political party has formed. The hate is palpable, but how does the govt make money without any taxes?

Our ex PM still cares about Americans and democracy.

False. Like other Canadians, I do NOT support Israel's attack on Iran. I'm sick of Israel's wars. Period. They are war criminals out to kill through bombs and starvation. I am grateful the Canadian embassy staff member is safe. Anand, at least, got that correct.

i wrote this in late february. now the wave is really crashing. and it still feels like far too many people are pretending it’s not.

As a Canadian I find this repulsive. The US has a track record of unnecessary wars. As good allies and neighbours we sent our soldiers to help in US wars. In return, Trump started a trade war on us.

How quickly things can flip at a protest...

This is more than a protest, this is what an uprising looks like.

Nobody deserves to be dragged out of a vehicle by their leg, by anyone, especially the police. For more of the story: www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/artic...

"Our previous five-year deal provided a total of a three per cent general wage increase. We've fallen significantly behind, as inflation was almost seven times higher." I'm the president of the CP branch of the Canadian Media Guild and we believe The Canadian Press can do better for its employees.

🧵 While people question & criticize NDP for voting against the Throne Speech, NDP gets back to their roots - standing up for workers. Which is preferable: 1. Ignoring the govt's lack of focus on assisting workers laid off due to the trade war, or 2. A political party taking a stand for workers?

After watching all the coverage of the King in Canada, I think King Charles III would get a good laugh seeing himself in Lego form. His grandkids might too.

I'm somewhat awake watching the coverage of the King in Canada thinking, "The only time it sucks to be on the west coast is when something important happens in Ottawa at 9am." I'm not a morning person.

"Everyone has a right to live." His response to the reporters question of where he learned his beliefs, "Bro, I have a brain, man." We need more kids like him.

@canadasky.bsky.social @realcanadians.bsky.social www.instagram.com/reel/DJVYEXE... A must see if you have Instagram The Chief just told Smith where to go. 😂👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

DON'T USE DOORDASH DASHPASS! In Feb I canceled Dashpass. In Mar I was charged for it, had to get it refunded. In Apr I got 2 emails saying pymnt didn't go thru, if it happens again they'd try other pymnt options. 2x I contacted chat support & was told to ignore the emails, "It's just a glitch."/1

He may not be the best dancer but PM Carney has decent taste in music. #ElbowsUp

Mr "I will be the next prime minister" not only failed to form govt, he got fired by his constituents. Will he learn anything from these losses?

Any bets on another Confidence and Supply Agreement between Liberals and NDP?

Jagmeet Singh, for his political faults, is a real human. Respect for that.

What's with the UVic poli sci profs turning politicians in Victoria? Grace Lore and Will Greaves were both profs when campaigning.

Hedy Fry says Canada can be a leader in these changing times. She credits our multiculturalism as proof we know how to get different cultures that may not like each other in their homelands to get along in Canada. She is Canada's longest serving female MP; first elected in 1999.

The Smithers legion is clearing out and so am I! This race is too close to call. We're unlikely to know results in Skeena-Bulkley Valley tonight. Currently, Conservatives' Ross is a few hundred votes ahead. The NDP Bachrach team has its hopes pinned on Daajing Giids, where voting waits were 2 hrs!

Mark Carney has a unique opportunity to remake Canada in ways his predecessors would’ve struggled to find the political capital to do. I hope he takes advantage to build ambitious, nation-building projects to bring the country together again and get serious about reducing our dependence on the US.

Alberta shocks nation with same election results they've turned out since 1958 #CanadaVotes #cdnpoli

"For many in the north, CBC radio and TV is their only media source. A properly funded public broadcaster is also critical to our nation’s democratic health." Canada spends less on its public broadcaster than other countries. Why exactly is Poilievre against public broadcasting?

To those who still think this the trade war is about border security, If fentanyl crossing the border from Canada into the US was such a huge problem (which it's not) why would Trump want to annex Canada as the 51st state? Who's problem will the fentanyl labs be then? Think about it.

#ElbowsUp "Side by side we stand together."

Rick Mercer had a segment on @22-minutes.bsky.social called "Talking with Americans." I never thought the news would resemble watching that segment, but here we are. How do politicians from our closest neighbour know so little about us? #ElbowsUp
