Two thirds of Canadians want a windfall tax on fossil fuels. Too bad that 100% of current prime ministers prefer giving fossil fuels even more subsidies instead, because he sure doesn't care what citizens think. 52/ www.theenergymix.com/excess-profi...

TMX isn't running at capacity. The toll rates oil producers pay to use it, locked in before construction, charge them only half of the minimum to break even. Taxpayers subsidize 50% of industry costs on every single barrel that moves through it. 6/ www.nationalobserver.com/2025/06/10/a...

With Stephen Guilbeault's departure from the LPC, cult-of-Carney supporters have chosen a climate narrative to gaslight us with: "You don't get it: we need to make the money to transition away from oil before we can start to do it. This is a vital first step!" Here's why that's total bullshit. 🧵1/

“The decline of Canadian universities reflects years of inadequate funding, and the devaluation of science and education as public goods,” said Dr. Nadim Mahassen, president of the Center for World University Rankings. #cdnpse

Food Banks Canada says employment insurance doesn't serve modern workforce. Latest poverty report: The labour market has shifted toward part-time, temporary and contract work, while EI only serves a shrinking workforce with stable, full-time work with one employer. www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

The fact there is a crackdown on cyclists rolling through stop signs while I watch drivers run red lights across the city with alarming regularity is beyond me. www.cp24.com/local/toront...

If only we could remove Doug Ford. #ONpoli

Doug Ford and Ontario are right out of hand

"Facing dwindling supplies, [the World Food Program], which provides food for the camp, made the dramatic decision to only give rations to about half the camp's residents ... Monica and her younger siblings were set to receive just 420 calories a day each."

We all have our daily rituals: the first cup of coffee, Wordle, walking the dog, dementia test

Criticising a public figure – who isn't even Jewish – for backing Israel during its genocide may be many things but it most certainly isn't "antisemitism". Yet our police, politicians and media keep making this rudimentary mistake. Almost like this isn't really about Jew hatred.

"This morning in Palestine, Israel took four Palestinian female students hostage during a raid on the town of Birzeit in Ramallah. "The four female are students at the renowned Birzeit University. Three of them were kidnapped from their homes" — Mosab Abu Toha

It’s true. All of it.

We had one of my husband's younger colleagues (25) and his partner over for dinner a while ago. Our shower curtain is covered in pictures of Marilyn Monroe. When he came back from using the bathroom, he said "cool Madonna shower curtain!" and I felt 1000 years old.

Add your voice now to stop Doug Ford's takeover of the Toronto Islands! share.nwmd.social/s/1OeGH1pd #cdnpoli #onpoli

Imagine making an announcement w/ a visual avatar. Now imagine that you’re a university president. The avatar vomits, “I’m thrilled to share this special moment with you.” UNACCEPTABLE. [Gift-link in @drsepinwall.bsky.social's post to unfolding #AI story at California's state univs #academicsky] 1/

If you haven’t yet, I hope you’ll consider following our work at @urbantruth.bsky.social. The success of that still new initiative depends entirely on how much attention it can earn, and how often the messages are shared and repeated. We appreciate everything you do to help with that. #UrbanTruth

Hey folks! re #WaterNotCoal petition - please sign the petition as soon as you can, preferably BY *June 7* so that they can get everything handed in for the June 10 deadline!!

Imagine being so unable to love your child that you set fire to the whole damn world instead.

Well done Canada. Between Carney, Ford and the rest, you've successfully outlawed hope. Fuck capitalism and fuck all its soldiers in government.

Turns out when we allow our provinces to destroy universities, it has an impact. www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business/eco...

Universities should not be economic powerhouses.

I wish so many things were different.

Are you planning on waiting till you get pinched personally or do you have plans for May 30? #Ontario #FightFord The province passed a controversial law last year that gives cabinet the power to create special economic zones, areas where it can suspend any & all provincial & municipal laws.

“What we found particularly shocking is that it is even more pollution than you would have living near a large natural gas power plant.” - Damian Pitt in WaPo story👇

The gun industry doesn’t just sell weapons. It buys the politicians who make sure nothing changes.

EPB: “.. Real personal income per capita is falling apart. .. It's now $3,842 below the 2009-2020 trend and accelerating lower.”

It's a settler colonialism problem. Netanyahu is just the mask genocidal colonialism is currently wearing.

There is an absolutely pathological and evil segment of our society that not only permits but encourages these policies, and absolute moral depravity of those who claim otherwise but vote for this bc they are "worried about their seats."

"Large-scale migration" is a euphemism for ethnic cleansing and you know it. Shame on you.

Second, the largest issue with this piece is that it cites debunked genocide propaganda uncritically. Propaganda that was used in the early days to manufacture consent for mass slaughter.. & for a publication that claims to want to do differently from msm, it's deeply concerning to me.

“The coastal city of Tyre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site; last night Israel attacked the Lebanese coast. Concern is growing within the government about the country's historical sites.”

Yeah, we are going to need more than a wealth tax. A lot of that wealth was stolen by criminally rigging the system. It will require outright forfeiture / seizure.

1/ Right now, a bill called C-22 is moving through Parliament. It would let police pull information on who you talk to, when, and where, all without a warrant. It's at committee this week. 🧵

Canada, like the European NATO members, are looking to do their military procurements within the parameters of the emerging NATO 2.0—that is, NATO without the US. The cost to US manufacturers will be in tens if not hundreds of billions of lost contracts.

Nope, not one. #GlobalWarming

Canadians are even beating America at their own BBQ! #Canada

You can’t “philanthropy” your way out of a system built on extraction and exploitation. Our Vice Chair Stephen Prince put it plainly in @vox.com: “As the wealthy get wealthier, they become increasingly enshrouded in a bubble of protection that allows them to ignore reality.”

This is a POSITIVE headline, CNBC? lmao

The U.S. will need years to replenish stockpiles of key weapons used in the Iran war, potentially limiting firepower in any other conflict, a new analysis says. apnews.com/article/iran...

Our world is a magnificently wealthy place and yet this is how people are forced to live.

Guess what was on CBS last night? NO ONE KNOWS! Why? Because NO ONE WAS WATCHING! Morning to you there, Bari

A small reminder of how huge Jupiter is.. 😎💙😎
