Bill C-22 presents one of the greatest threats to privacy in Canada of the past two decades!

"The debate over the future of Canada Post ultimately forces us to ask what we want public institutions to be for. A mandate to serve the collective good is not the same thing as a mandate to maximize the bottom line. The two may occasionally overlap, but they are not the same project."

I'm an elder Millenial who grew up with a rotary phone and had a 386 that I played Trade Wars on via dial-up to my dad's work server and now I'm talking to strangers who live in the supercomputer I keep in my pocket. It ain't the 'speed' of the 'evolution', Sundar.

“The path that Carney is following is set by the needs of those who own and control the banks and major corporations. This class of exploiters wants to preserve their profits in these difficult times by imposing the burden on working-class people.”

US is taking unprecedented measures to secure ownership over Canadian mines on Indigenous lands. Over just two years, Pentagon invested over $78 million USD in companies operating mining projects in Canada in order to suit U.S. military needs. breachmedia.ca/elbows-up-ca...

Bill C-22 presents one of the greatest threats to privacy in Canada of the past two decades!

ChatGPT was never Google’s biggest threat; it was always its own hubris. With Search now being sacrificed on the altar of AI dominance, the time has come for users to get serious about moving off Google services. It’s not only destroying its products; it’s trying to further degrade the web itself.

Sure, thanks Enbridge for continuing to support meaningful climate conversations 🤦‍♀️ 😠

C-22, a "bill that would make it easier for police & spies to navigate the online world is running into fierce opposition from major digital companies, civil liberties groups & law professors. The ICLMG says the provisions would create a mass surveillance capability regime." TAKE ACTION BELOW!

Yeah I don't like it!

Canada plans to establish a new bank to finance the global arms trade In our latest @breachmedia.ca podcast, I speak with Rachel Small of @wbwcanada.bsky.social about the prospect of our economy being further tied to weapons and war breachmedia.ca/by-hosting-a...

Carveouts for major resource projects from environmental laws are not in the national interest. But Canada just announced plans to "exempt" unspecified projects from reviews that aim to protect the environment and public health. Our thoughts: https://ow.ly/SnqJ50YWLVs

The federal government is planning to axe pharmacare. This Friday, join @canadiansorg.bsky.social for an info session and 📞phone zap: us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

“We've regulated things far more threatening than chatbots.” "Nothing about them is ungovernable. Unless we choose not to govern them."

It's May Day! Also, as @hadrianmk.bsky.social points out, the Canadian oil industry made another $1.9 billion in profits this week. @policyalternatives.ca

The feds just announced a “sovereign wealth fund” that will take $25b of public money and dump it into private-sector-led projects, possibly including oil extraction. We should do the opposite. Tax the $1.4b/week the oil cos are making in excess profits and invest it in economic diversification.

New from @ntusikov.bsky.social and me. Carney's reckless decision to introduce AI, in all its flavours, into government while simultaneously slashing the public service is a recipe for disaster. We know this because it's happened elsewhere, including in Canada. It's a matter of when, not if.

Dear HRDs, my time as UN Special Rapporteur comes to an end today. You have been the beating heart of this mandate. Thank you for sharing your stories, struggles & victories with me over the past 6 years. Here’s a look back at the work of the mandate from 2020-2026. With hope and solidarity, Mary

Why is Canada cutting foreign aid when so many countries are reeling from the destruction of USAID? We don’t have to cut foreign aid, and certainly not now.

Feeling for climate-aware students at @dalhousie.bsky.social How do they not despair? “This makes the university an active participant in the fossil fuel industry, rather than an objective, independent research organization.“

"Kids learn how to share. Why don't drivers know how to share?" "You have to learn how to be patient when you're a kid. How come drivers aren't patient?" -biking thoughts from a 6-year-old

A social media ban for children is the kind of thing you do when you don't have the political will or ability (or understanding) to address the underlying problem: these companies are bad actors whose for-profit, data-collection business model incentivizes bad behaviour.

So true! And a truth that should strengthen the push to tax oil and gas windfall profits: 350.org/canada/theyp...

This year alone, Canadian oil and gas companies could make extra profits to the tune of $50 – $100 billion 🤯 We just launched a new campaign alongside @canadiansorg.bsky.social to tax Big Oil’s massive excess profits. Send your message to the Carney government now: 350.org/canada/theyp...

The Nova Scotia govt under Premier Tim Houston, and its creation, the Independent [sic] Energy Systems Operator (IESO), seem to have drunk enormous amounts of fossil fuel industry Kool-aid. Or they’re just yesterday’s boys with no clue about the climate crisis: www.halifaxexaminer.ca/government/p...

literally every day my wife or I go outside with our daughter people go out of their way to be friendly, offer aid or a kind word, no matter where we've traveled. it's nice to remember that hostility as default mode of interaction is not destiny, much as it benefits some to pretend it is

EU’s energy crisis response is broader than expected: remote work mandates, heat pump subsidies, EV leasing schemes — plus electrification targets and new laws to tax electricity below fossil fuels.

Hey it's Friday and the Canadian oil industry made $1.5 billion in profits this week. 🧵 Thread...

“an increasing number of governments … are designing policies with long-term demand trends in mind, including the prospect of declining fossil fuel use and the risks of stranded assets” 🙌

A GENTLE REMINDER: we are trying to eliminate fossil fuels because using them kills us. If fossil fuels were cheap (they're not) or reliable (they're SO NOT), it would still be urgent to get rid of them because their intended use destroys our life support systems.

State surveillance is part of a wider retaliatory scheme meant to silence. In my case the govt tracked my movements, social media infringements, etc b/c we filed a human rights case v the feds to help children. www.cbc.ca/news/indigenous/rcmp-security-infiltration-george-manuel-9.7145083

Excellent article showing arts and heritage funding has a multi-layered positive impact in rural communities. And cuts amount to loss after loss for youth: “A lot of the services these small cultural and arts organizations offer to kids used to be considered essential — and were offered by schools”

“Exhortations from political leaders like Carney to simply “take the world as it is” condition citizens to believe in inevitability, to conclude that we are without choices and, comfortingly, that we are without responsibilities.” thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

“The report also called on Canada to review its participation in the Safe Third Country Agreement with the U.S. Under the pact, Canada and the U.S. recognize each other as a safe place to seek refuge.”

Ok, here it is, massively updated with today's news. I haven't gone through the program cuts myself yet but I will at some point! noraloreto.substack.com/p/counting-t...

A strategy I am recommending to people who don’t want to mask all the time is always in healthcare facilities and public transportation, AND if you see someone in a mask, put yours on. The first helps protect spaces high risk people may have no choice but to go, the second shows them support.

Bill C-12 is a dangerous law that could expand deportations, deny refugee protection, and give the government new powers over migrants’ lives. Join @migrantrightsca.bsky.social for an emergency town hall on March 18 to get updates and learn how to get ready migrantrights.ca/events/c12to..

As Carney Travels the Globe for New Alliances, He Looks Away on Human Rights Canada’s prime minister chooses pragmatism in a turbulent world, which means doing business with countries that do not share Canada’s democratic values. Some critics see this as weakness. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/17/w...

For the first time in 70 years, the UN broke from consensus at the Commission on the Status of Women. The US cast the sole "no" vote on the #CSW70 annual outcomes document, marking a turning point in global gender politics. Follow for more coverage. https://go.outrightinternational.org/CSW70-PR

Do the Premier and the Minister of Culture even know what museums in rural areas do? “Atkins said one of the biggest losses will be to outreach programs that bring science education to schools and community events across Cumberland County.” www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The Canadian Bar Association is urging the Senate to press pause on Bill C-12, as its immigration provisions could put Canada at odds with its international law obligations and disproportionately affect vulnerable groups. nationalmagazine.ca/en-ca/articl...

"The [federal] cuts will include slashes to program budget for the housing program, supports for economic migrants and health care cuts... And 4 municipalities (Toronto, Montreal, the Peel Region + Ottawa) will likely face increasing costs to house asylum seekers." ottawacitizen.com/public-servi...

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

Take action now to stop Bill C-12, which would put our friends and neighbours at risk. Despite outcry from human rights groups, the Bill was rushed through the House. Learn more and act now: takeaction.amnesty.ca/page/173197/...

Rally up! He really is trying to break our communities so he can frack, mine, deforest the f out of this place. He’s working fast , so must we!

Its always unnerving to see people talking about war like its sports game, supporting their respective teams, like its not something with extraordinary destruction that, under the BEST of circumstances, those who haven't been obliterated, will need to spend many decades attempting to rebuild from.

The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) has also stated, "As the Carney government is planning to transfer health care costs to refugees and cut processing capacity, it is also proposing sweeping immigration changes that undermine the rights and protections of migrants and refugees.“
