Today, Liberals, Conservatives, & the Bloc voted to kill #C233. 🚫⚖️ They chose to keep a massive loophole open that exempts 50% of Canada’s arms exports from human rights oversight. The Carney Liberals talk about values, but their actions say otherwise. #cdnpoli #HumanRights

Pourquoi le @blocquebecois.bsky.social a refusé de lever l’exemption de la vente d’armes aux USA qui ensuite peuvent les vendre à des régimes sanguinaires ou génocidaires? Pourquoi? #Gaza #Palestine #NPD

The U.S. and Israeli bombardment of Iran is a reckless escalation that risks a catastrophic regional conflict. 🕊️🌍 I’m calling on the Prime Minister to condemn these attacks and ensure Canada is not complicit through arms exports. 🚫🔫 Watch my full statement #Iran #Peace youtu.be/D8f8euPDfDs?...

holy shit

Moonlit Landscape Toward Infinity Cavan Atkin 1935

Welp I guess there’s no way to earn the votes of young men other than by courting and vocally backing the three fraudulent industries that are absolutely ruining their lives.

Public Service Announcement: When the price of gasoline jumps this week, remember it was refined from oil (mostly Canadian) produced weeks ago, only 2% of which comes from the Middle East. It's a policy choice, not 'market forces', that explains why you'll pay more (and oil profits will soar). /2

I'm addicted to these videos from a bakery in Uzbekistan this bread is beautiful

The NHL-media ecosystem is pushing hard to make Canadian hockey fans forget the insult of their local team leaders toadying up to Trump -- a man who belittles and threatens Canada every chance he gets. +

The UCP government has spent so much money to deliver so little for Albertans. After seven years under the UCP, life is demonstrably harder for Albertans, and this budget does not help in any way. Read my full statement here: www.albertandpcaucus.ca/news/post/uc...

In 2024, Danielle Smith wrote a letter to Justin Trudeau to complain that they didn't get *more* immigrants than their planned allotment. (She also wanted more Ukrainians specifically, and we all know why). Receipts:

A conservative Canadian broadcast news network is incorporating propaganda from U.S. dark-money-funded think tanks directly into its regular programming. Christopher Holcroft writes. #canpoli #CdnMedia #uspoli

Late Afternoon Glow, Vancouver Henrietta Mabel May 1964

The bravery, resilience and sacrifice of many in our city to protect and support vulnerable communities show the world Minneapolis’ values. We’re honored the city was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize – and it’s because of your courageous solidarity to promote democracy, human rights and peace.

LNG Canada’s facility in Kitimat, B.C., burned more than 1.7 million cubic metres of gas on a single day in September. While that day was an outlier, documents obtained through a freedom of information request reveal the facility consistently burned 15 times more gas per day than expected.

Happening now in Silicon Valley: marchers have surrounded the Palantir building and are holding a prayer vigil for victims of ICE, while video of ICE and Palantir crimes is projected on the building. #abolishice #iceout #palantir #paloalto

We can hope that the full Senate will reject this atrocity of a bill.

In keeping with tradition on Budget Day, my shoes tell a story. #Budget2026 #NewShoes #NWTpoli #CDNpoli #OpenNWT #FinanceMinister

Over the past 12 months, Canadian governments, investors, pension funds, corporations, etc. have increased US bond holdings by 27%, or 100B USD. Why are we increasing our financing of US government debt at a time when the US government is so antagonistic towards Canada?

Budget Session is coming up in less than a month, so I thought it would be a fun #TutorialTuesday to show folks who the GNWT Budget Cycle works. Tune in at 1.30 PM (GMT) on February 4th for the first day of Budget Session. #Budget2026 #NWTpoli #CDNpoli #Finance

What could possibly go wrong?

The minister of digital asbestos is committed to doing the absolute least possible about regulating deepfake porn/CSAM machines.

Misogyny has been built into tech forever because it replicates the way we live, and it's a money maker. We need cultural change and the time to start was yesterday. Or twenty years ago. And the time for Canadian officials to get off X is now www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

So we have government saying journalists are using X, and journalists saying governments are using X. Both of which are true, but neither of which *needs* to be true. Things can change! We can have better things!

This is a dangerous and irresponsible response. Cheering the illegal abduction of a foreign head of state and celebrating U.S. control over another country is wrong. Canada cannot pick & choose when international law applies. If the rules only matter when it’s convenient, they don’t protect anyone

Abysmal statement from Canada on the illegal US action in Venezuela. It doesn’t matter how much you dislike Maduro, that doesn’t justify a violation of international law and the UN Charter. You can’t call on “all parties” to respect international law and not call out US lawlessness.

It's well past time for Canadian government officials to get off of X, @jameswsthomson.com writes. This latest — disgusting — incident is just one more reason.

Here are 10 of my favourite photos I took in 2025: Cars travel on the ice road between Dettah and Yellowknife.

Final hours. We're $27,000 short of funding the Climate Solutions Reporting Project. This year, we reached 10% of Canada. Got cited in Parliament. Built Civic Searchlight. We need to finish what we started. But we can't do it without hitting this goal TODAY: www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/124263

This is why they want us talking about day care scams.
