Spent 40 mins on hold to ask what further info the feds want for my Greener Homes Grant application after they emailed saying more info was needed The rep told me they can't look at my account to say what's missing and I just need to "provide all the info." Fantastic Carney's government rocks!!

Canada has already paid an "entry fee" in these negotiations — dropping counter-tariffs and scrapping the Digital Services Tax, a modest tax on the world's most profitable tech giants, at the behest of Donald Trump. Those concessions got us nowhere. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Do you have racists in your family who think DRIPA or landback means Indigenous people are stealing white people's homes? Well good news the government has put together a handy easy to use website to explain why that's silly dripafacts.ca

would be a shame if somebody mapped this onto average home price over the same time period oh noooooo oh well, social housing is communism, so onward and upward

DRIPA is not a threat to certainty; it is our only path toward it. A suspension of Indigenous rights would torch nation relations, Horgan’s legacy, and block the real path forward - long overdue good-faith negotiations. Thanks for having me on, Mo @vancolour.bsky.social! #bcpoli

Nerd alert: Canada's GHG Inventory for 2024 just released. It shows that progress has stalled (emissions down 0.3% from 2023 levels). www.canada.ca/en/environme...

If increasing competition and cutting out the private middlemen with public grocery stores is socialism, then I want socialism Why is Ford against competition?

130+ Palestinian grad students admitted to 🇨🇦 universities are trapped in a 23-month limbo. IRCC is demanding biometrics from a war zone—a move that is both unrealistic and unjust. The precedent exists: we did this for Ukraine & Syria. We must do it now. #cdnpoli #Gaza www.cpac.ca/headline-pol...

It’s time for price caps on gas to stop oil companies from price-gouging Canadians — and a windfall profits tax on war-time oil revenues, so the government can invest that money in the public interest. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

After *choosing* to cut $5 Billion from the long-promised-not-delivered Permanent Public Transit Fund, he now *chooses* to subsidize gasoline companies by more than $2 Billion. He makes choices, Canada’s urban communities have not asked for this, but will bear the load of those choices.

Let's go get all $90B being stolen by Big Oil and use it to make Canada a leader in renewable energy manufacturing

Liberals continue to be anti-democracy

Carney joins Trump by going all-in on the energy eating monster that is destroying jobs, driving inflation, and being used to undress women and girls

Your goals are to replace human public sector workers with AI so you can slash public services and to make your buddies at Brookfield even richer by spending public funds on AI infrastructure for private profit.

When I was 11, I helped run a national news service for kidz by kidz through a program connecting elementary schools across Canada Incredible how we collectively went from encouraging youths to use the Internet to restricting youths’ access to the Internet (I made our logo using Corel Draw!)

Iran once again coming across as the heroes looking out for the sanctity of life by comparison to the US-Israeli-West axis

In 2016, now Liberal MP Marilyn Gladu praised Donald Trump for having “restored freedom of speech to America”

Gladu has a history of making decidedly un-Liberal statements She's suggested she Canada should "return" to its Christian "foundation" and also shared anti-Muslim videos, commenting: "People came to a country with certain values and now want to kill everyone else" pressprogress.ca/this_conserv...

The looniest of the bunch.

I’ll leave it at this for now!

Years before Alberta even became a province, First Nations signed Treaties guaranteeing their rights to the land in perpetuity. A century later, and First Nations are in court this week, using their Treaties to mount one of the strongest challenges to Alberta separatism, writes @readtheorchard.org

Israel’s new death penalty law, which exclusively targets Palestinians, did not come out of nowhere. It's passed down from scaffold the British built under military courts established by British Mandate in 1937, after 1936 uprising. The rope, as it always has been in Palestine, is for Arabs only.

A self proclaimed fascist is doing more to stop the genocide of Palestine than Carney is Liberals please adjust your support for our slick talking PM accordingly

It's shocking how quickly so called progressives will throw human rights out the window because racists online convinced enough people they were losing their homes to scary Indigenous court victories. Not a single person lost their property. It's Twitter racism spilling into real life

Know who *won't* face meaningful tax hikes to pay for Carney's militarization? www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

A leaked transcript of a meeting between Indigenous leaders and British Columbia Premier David Eby, about his plan to suspend the province's Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act, or DRIPA, shows them accusing him of "absolute betrayal" and colonialism.

Look if we want to be #ElbowsUp, send an oil tanker to Cuba right now

deeply ashamed of my NDP government's capitulation to racist fearmongering on this issue. if you have an NDP MLA, contact them and tell them this is unacceptable: leg.bc.ca/members

Looking forward to 2 dozen articles about the rift between Poilievre and Ford After all, they wouldn't want to be biased and unbalanced after a week of gleefully running pieces about the alleged rifts between Lewis and Nenshi/Beck www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

Saskatchewan NDP Leader Carla Beck says Avi Lewis’ energy policies don’t reflect the needs of people in her province. But contributions data show nearly half of Sask. residents who donated to NDP leadership campaigns put their money behind him. zurl.co/dtTME

“For Premier Eby to suddenly say changing DRIPA is ‘non-negotiable’ and will pass this session is an absolute betrayal of everything DRIPA and of our evolving relationship with the NDP over the last decade” Grand Chief Stewart Phillip #bcpoli cheknews.ca/premier-eby-...

Avi is going to eat Poilievre's lunch And there's nothing the right can do about it because they will never fight the elites that power their movement, and that's exactly who's in the crosshairs for the populist left innovativeresearch.ca/there-is-an-...

"There was no Canadian flag on-stage at the NDP convention where Lewis was elected party leader." Really? Was the 10 foot tall flag so hard to miss or is Geoff Russ just a liar? Might want to fact check your writers next time @nationalpost.bsky.social nationalpost.com/opinion/geof...

I hope Avi and his loved ones take comfort in the fact that they gave Stephen an incredible last gift in his final moments: the gift of a burst of hope that his family and descendants will see a better world, thanks to a flame that he passed down to his son.

If Poilievre was smugly saying this about a woman suffering from mercury poisoning due to his government's inaction to provide clean drinking water, liberals would be up in arms I guess racism is now one of Carney's 4D chess moves

Really good answer, especially when the media has been using CIJA as the representative of Jewish people when they’re clearly biased towards Israel.

Avi Lewis on left-wing populism: "Left-wing populists believe that capitalism concentrates wealth and power in the fewest hands. And we need policies and a response that actually responds to the needs of the 99% of us."

cancel that f35 contract!

just need to say: tanille johnston coming in 3rd is a massive fuck you to the media class who wrote her off as a “fringe” and “marginal” candidate. excited to see what she does moving forward. she’s a huge talent and a star in the making.

Q: Why are you so supportive of Avi Lewis as leader -- Wab Kinew: I love the guy

Lewis: “Our NDP has a different offer for this country. Our plan is to Trump-proof the economy by investing massively in Canadian economic independence using the unmatched power of public ownership.” “A network of public providers for food, phones, and internet. A public housing developer.”

The immediate status quo, centrist attacks on Avi Lewis are precisely why he is effective and needed. In face of growing right wing escalation, an unbashadely left opposition that is anti capitalist & internationalist is both principled *and* realistic.

In shock at the grocery store? In tears looking at your bills? “It’s because the wealth of this country is being hoovered up by a corporate elite who are extracting it from you every single day,” Avi Lewis says. “It’s immoral. It’s unreasonable. It’s un-Canadian. And we cannot let it stand.”

This speech is really good. He stays firmly focused on how we’re all struggling because of the ultra-wealthy hoarding profits and the monopolies on our groceries, cellphone and internet, etc. “This is more than a rigged economy. It’s a war on working people,” Lewis said.

Huge thanks to @readtheorchard.org and @nolore.bsky.social for your coverage of the NDP convention this weekend, the streams have been great! The party needs this kind of critical analysis from its left wing

NEW: Anti-establishment NDP party presidential candidate Niall Ricardo wins by 25 votes. open.substack.com/pub/theorcha...

All 5 leadership candidates standing together to support the proportional representation policy resolution and giving Tony the mic (arguably the most consistent advocate during the campaign) was very sweet to see

Massive upset in the officer leadership at #ndp2026 -- the "continuity" slate was defeated by a last-minute slate that included Libby Davies. Only people in the room are allowed to vote on this and so it not only seals the Lewis victory, but it also shows that support goes deep.
