Doug Ford’s ‘common-sense conservation’ is a fast track to extinction, experts warn. The #Ontario government has gutted protections for endangered species to pave the way for a ‘wild west’ of unchecked development. New from @xavierrichervis.bsky.social: ricochet.media/climate/doug... #onpoli

"Here we are, on another #OrangeShirtDay, watching the settler colonial project unfold again in real time." How many more Palestinian children have to die before Canada keeps its promise to the world? New column from @jennjefferys.bsky.social: ricochet.media/justice/the-... #HumanRights #Gaza

On the latest episode, Dr. @yipengge.bsky.social joins host @caradrianh.bsky.social to discuss the genocide in #Gaza and Canada’s complicity. "The threshold is very high to attack a hospital. What Israel has done is essentially attack all the hospitals in Gaza." Listen wherever you get podcasts.

In Thunder Bay, an Indigenous artist and ’60s Scoop survivor is using music and education to fight for Indigenous justice and give hope to the next generation. This is @shy-anne55.bsky.social's second act. New feature from @jonthompson.bsky.social: ricochet.media/indigenous/f... #NorthernOntario

I lived in Singapore from 1990 to 2005. Singapore has mandatory national service for all males who are citizens or permanent citizens. I was able to identify rape culture present within Singapore's boys when I was in primary school and could regularly identify unsafe, abusive, toxic adult males.

Any driver who has a problem with traffic cameras wants to put other people in danger without having to suffer any monetary consequences for their recklessness. It's really that simple.

The amount of drivers who absolutely lose their shit when asked to keep pedestrians safe is infuriating. You're driving fucking tanks that can obliterate the human body. You should be held to far higher safety standards than currently exist, and you're still whining. Grow the fuck up.

There is no measured way to say what I am about to say. If the Supreme Court agrees with the Trump administration to end birthright citizenship, we must end this current Supreme Court. I do not say this lightly.

President Trump said he demolished USAID to reduce waste. In fact, my reporting finds that the demolition of USAID has wasted billions of dollars--and the lives of children like 8-year-old Gy Gael. Sec. Rubio, you still claim aid cuts haven't killed anyone? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/o...

Next weekend! #yyc

100%. And watch as we steal your future while oil and gas companies make billions.

The audacity. Why should Canadians support compulsory service? After decades of neoliberal austerity policies, privatizing services, selling off public housing, crumbling healthcare, allowing corporations to avoid taxes, and stealing more Indigenous land for resource extraction in a climate crisis.

We should treat the things built with our parents’ tax dollars as our true birthright, but we do not. And it is impoverishing to our lives.

On the latest episode of @ricochetmedia.bsky.social “In Bed with the Elephant” Canadian physician @yipengge.bsky.social speaks about #Genocide & Medical Violence in #Gaza and how ordinary people can build a new world. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/i... #Palestine #Israel

by looking at the west’s political landscape, it is becoming increasingly apparent that immigration is **the** issue. i’m always looking to speak to people who are being affected by tightening restrictions on immigration if that’s you or someone you know, shoot me a message: [email protected]

Canada’s #immigration cuts risk stalling economic growth, experts warn. Blaming newcomers for #housing and healthcare crises will leave Canada’s future prosperity in jeopardy — and fuel far-right backlash. @sophiadr.bsky.social reports: ricochet.media/justice/migr... #cdnpoli #DrawTheLine

Also: Doesn't this clip go to show that the shtick with the Boys & Girls Club (donations dwindling for every second of speeches) means precisely to stop recipients from saying anything serious about what's happening in the USA and the world?

"It is really lifesaving care" that is being demonized.

Still no reply from my MP @beynate.bsky.social about whether he participated in this shameful display.

This is the message for this moment.

That time Canadian MPs gave a standing ovation to an American white nationalist. It was just the other day, in fact. New column from @christoaivalis.bsky.social: ricochet.media/justice/far-... #CharlieKirk #USpoli #cdnpoli

George Carlin: "If you can't say 'fuck,' then you can't say 'fuck the government'"

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

One takeaway for Canadians watching what’s happening in the United States right now is that we need to put more pressure on governments / parties to strengthen democratic institutions and the fourth estate You can also defend democracy by supporting the work of journalists and civil society groups

In light of today’s news I’d like to remind you that this is a real newspaper clipping. History repeats itself when we don’t stop it.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

"Historically, most censors deny that what they’re doing is censorship...In the mind of the censor, it’s always being done for a noble purpose, so they recoil at the suggestion that it’s censorship or banning."

They're openly saying they want to sacrifice LGBTQ people and the planet to appease fascists. This is not only a losing strategy, this is morally repugnant. Every single one of these people should be ashamed, but we know they won't because they are amoral sociopaths.

Groups like Media Matters are more important than ever, but they're probably going to be driven out of business (either by Musk's lawsuits or the coming crackdown on liberal groups by the government).

In one northern Ontario First Nation, the health director doubles as the ambulance driver and the only backup is a broken van — Chronic underfunding and neglect have maintained a deadly #healthcrisis in the north. New from @jonthompson.bsky.social: ricochet.media/indigenous/n... #onpoli

This is who Carney put in charge of building affordable housing —an exec with a major Toronto real estate developer with a history of pushing out low-income tenants or forcing them to take massive rent increases. Companies like this is why we have a housing crisis. pressprogress.ca/toronto-mayo...

I had completely forgotten that Charlie Kirk was the guy who coined "your body, my choice" in the wake of Roe v. Wade being overturned.

"political violence is never acceptable," is a phrase you don't hear politicians say after cops beat the shit out of peaceful demonstrators
