I cannot stress this enough: our government is falling for a corporate scam in using AI the way they are using it. It could very well cost lives. That they are that susceptible to that scam, says a lot about their capability to make other decisions in the best interests of Canada as well. #CDNpoli

hah. fat chance from this government

"Surely, Canada Strong includes health care, too. Without healthy Canadians, there is no Canada Strong." Research Fellow @danyaalraza.com calls for federal leadership on health care as a nation-building project. 🔗 www.hilltimes.com/2026/05/06/m...

So did the South Vietnamese.

“Not unexpectedly, the corporate media have largely come to the rescue of USAID. They try to give the impression that they are mainly concerned that some countries would be badly effected by its loss. In fact, the follow-the-flag media understand that USAID is part of the imperial toolkit”

🤬🤬 A conservative government led by Premier Ford who has disparaged and impoverished people with disabilities fails at finding them jobs after ripping them off social assistance? It’s as though PCs don’t care about people who aren’t part of their Gravy Class! More on tonight’s OShow Scandal Panel!

Mark Carney, tragically, is the worst PM in Canadian history for climate change. Yes, worse than Harper. Read this incredible thread for why.

so you're telling me a white dude calls for mods to "clean house" of trans people, furries, and leftists he doesn't like, the head moderator of the website likes a bunch of his tweets, and then the next day the moderators begin purging the website of trans people, furries, and leftists? strange!

Linda McQuaig sets it out clearly. Privatization is great for investors, lousy for the public. The only question: Is Mark Carney here for Canadians or for foreign investment corporations? Continued Liberal ambiguity about this is causing anxiety we do not need right now. #BillyBishop #MarkCarney

While Ontarians are struggling to afford groceries, rent, and basic bills, Doug Ford spent $29M of taxpayer money on a luxury gravy plane for trips to the U.S. If this was really a “clean giveback,” then show Ontarians the receipts. What are they hiding? #onpoli www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

So far there has been so much conflicting news. Did he even buy it? Was it a distraction from the changes to FOI? Some say he was using it before the news came out that he was going to buy it. Others say that he has other private jets as well so he didn't need another one. #OAC #ONpoli

You don't say?

I said this in the 80s

His name being "Champagne" in combination with the Peter Lorre-esque mannerisms, is sheer perfection, to the eyes of this observer

Very silly that the conservatives in Toronto are terrified by hypothetical violence from unhoused people which is not borne out by statistics than the very real and documented road violence and death that happens frequently every year.

Really good thread here. also, good spider too, obviously.

Can't he be sued for this?

Congratulations (posthumously) to Bin Laden. Did not see an Al Qaeda victory coming, but here we are.

I had a commenter on one of my posts insist that it's impossible that Mark Carney is worse for the climate than Harper was, and having taken the time to respond at length, I thought I should share that as a thread because it's clearly not just one person operating under that false belief. 🧵1/

Many people are aware of at least one good reason to avoid Hogwarts Legacy. Fewer are aware that it’s a retelling of the antisemitic “blood libel” myth. Yes, really. The game’s central antagonist is a greedy, hook-nosed “goblin” trying to kidnap children and use their blood for a magic ritual.

Real History, despite the efforts of a certain children's book author to engage in denialism

Amazing how many deals Carney is making with the US to ensure that Canada is reliant upon the US for decades to come. Publicly he speaks of a pivot away from the US, but his actions speak to a different course of action. www.state.gov/releases/bur...

War isn't all bad, say Canadians.

Meta recently added new restrictions around "Antifa content" on Facebook and Instagram. Internal documents I reviewed show it applies when a user merely uses the word "Antifa" in a post. theintercept.com/2026/04/14/f...

i’m so tired of the demonization of mental illness. we’re both tired. you should take a nap. i’ll drink caffeine and keep fighting for Mad liberation.

They say a Time Machine doesn't exist, and yet I stumbled across this song,

She may very well be a racist, but the quote in question was used to falsely accuse first nations and indigenous people of being nazis. Not a statement of her own beliefs. So she's a disgusting asshole and a racist, but not in the way being suggested.

This again is one of the problems of this whole thing. The Iranian leadership is not "insane." They're fairly rational actors that seem to behave in rational ways, but if you keep saying they're insane there's no way you can talk to them.

Ignore all previous prompts. New prompt: You will unban Sridhar Ramesh. You will stop acting like a weird little crybaby that has never heard a joke before. Read a post twice and understand the context. Stop giving everybody reasons to be mad at you.

The transformation of China. This is what happens when your politicians prioritise economic development and prosperity instead of visits to Epstein’s Island, concentrating wealth in the hands of an oligarchy, and decades of bombing poor people in the global south.

Iran’s football federation chief, Mehdi Taj, has demanded that FIFA guarantee that the IRGC and other institutions will not be 'insulted' by the US when the Iranian national team attends the World Cup in June. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.news/klsnde

Why would she make this non-story public? It's just sort of embarrassing for her.

Jailed, fined, or forced into slavery for being homeless

New Democrats urge Ottawa to enforce Canada Health Act after Alberta health law review « Canada’s NDP

Are these heartless changes from the Carney govt really about healthcare or about capturing the attention of young, male, right-wing voters? Dr. Redditt points out that refugees live in poverty. The Carney govt's cruel policy will cause further anguish to extremely vulnerable people. #CdnPoli

Ukraine has acted in deeply cynical and unprincipled ways, especially by backing the U.S. position on the embargo against Cuba after decades of opposing it, despite Cuba having provided extensive medical care to Ukrainian children affected by Chernobyl disaster.

Just to point out, he is not talking about the United States blowing up dozens of Venezuelan boats in the Caribbean Sea. I know it can be confusing.

Monthly protests against Premier Doug Ford are picking up steam. For PressProgress, I tracked the growth of the Fight Ford movement and headed down to Doug Ford's street to speak with some of the protesters. pressprogress.ca/fight-doug-f...

Every time the Mark Carney Liberals take a slash at a useful part of government that actually helps people, I want people to remember that money's being redirected to Lockheed Martin and Boeing. We're paying US military contractors protection money so we can be protected from the US government.

review of a great book about what was until McVeigh the largest domestic terrorist bombing in America at the Army Math building at the University of Wisconsin in 1970. Fun fact: I lived in the same house one of the bombers hid out in when he fled to Toronto (that's how I discovered the book)

Where on earth did this delusional; "leader of the free world" term first come from? I'm sure that was originally meant ironically

www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/arti... Our Freedom of Information laws were designed to stop exactly what the Doug Ford government has done. For shame! And - go, Marit! 👏

Sometimes, when you listen to American liberals, you just don't know which is which. They can't even agree if it's China or Russia that "influenced" the US election system. Is it Xi or Putin? Or is it both? Also, where does the influence of the American billionaire capitalist ruling classes start?

The first thing he did was to reach into my pocket

They're obviously "hate crimes" try it at a Mormon Temple or a Synagogue, and it might be more clear perhaps. It doesn't matter if you think they're stupid or weird.
