After the UCP increased co-payments by 40% on seniors’ drug plans, a leaked cabinet document reveals that Danielle Smith has secret plans to charge Albertans hundreds of millions more for their prescription drugs. Swipe the photos for our full statement. #abpoli #ableg #abhealth

I’ve been seeing this on reputable non-Western news outlets yet haven’t seen this reported anywhere in Canadian or American MSM “Unions and pro-Palestine activists in Italy are holding a nationwide strike to protest Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza” www.middleeasteye.net/news/italian...

Parliament 23.9.2025 Will the minister respect the constitutional right of workers to free collective bargaining and repeal section 107 of the labour code, yes or no?

Federal funding of programs supporting Indigenous-led clean energy projects in rural and remote communities are at risk of not being renewed, according to a new report from the Pembina Institute, a Canadian clean energy think-tank.

Canada Post is uniquely positioned to be the vector for both high speed rail, and taking couriered delivery service out of the hands of companies like Amazon. But instead the capitalist cowards in charge are cutting it and screwing us all.

I wish the people rationalizing everything Carney does could see even a tiny bit of the big picture. www.thestar.com/business/pos...

Scarce housing dollars must go to building homes, not duplicating agencies. Why isn’t CMHC mandated to ensure affordability? Why haven’t barriers been fixed in the last decade? Why create new bureaucracy when families need affordable homes now? #cdnpoli #housing www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/0...

'Potential cuts of up to 80% at Women & Gender Equality Canada is certainly evidence of this, a much larger cut than the 15% identified in Finance Minister’s Champagne “Comprehensive Expenditure Review.”' #CdnPoli #Unethical

77% of Canadians say that they are worried about climate change’s future effects. This is a significant 15-point jump in concern since October 2024. abacusdata.ca/public-conce...

Canada Post refuses to listen to workers, at their own peril. The first fired should be the executives who can't see past their own bonuses. Canada Post is a public service; the purpose is to ensure functional mail delivery for ALL canadians, the purpose is not to make a profit. #cdnpoli

Thank you to whichever reporter confronted her about the lying. Need more of this. Via CTV Edmonton on TikTok vt.tiktok.com/ZSD4Qt9eG/ #Alberta #abpoli

Yesterday, history happened at the UN: For the first time hundreds of orgs signed a global pledge declaring that healthy indoor air is a human right. Healthy indoor air is a key tool for preventing pandemics, building climate resilience, and increasing health equity. We need it everywhere!

Rural and remote Indigenous communities are increasingly turning to clean energy projects to meet energy needs. A new national report shows positive signs on these projects, but warns governments must commit to strengthening policies to ensure success.

New study shows police culture reinforces systemic racism in Canadian policing. Black, Indigenous & other racialized communities in Canada have spent a century (or more) explaining systemic racism in policing, racist policing practices & disproportionate use of force. Sigh. doi.org/10.1177/2153...

This absolute willful destruction of Alberta's healthcare system would have been the end of any other Alberta government But the UCP has MLAs who only answer to the party, not the people And a premier who engages in propaganda to stay in power #ableg

I never thought I'd want the PCs back, but here we are in hell. #abpoli

Providing non-police crisis response is great. Framing it as a safety issue for not-in-crisis transit riders perpetuates the perception of mental illness as a threat to others. www.thestar.com/news/gta/ttc...

He was so embarrassing on so many levels at the United Nations 🇺🇳 I hope the world 🌎 now understands what Canada is beginning to realize— this guy is a corporate shill fraud.

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.” Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

Settler communities in fishing areas have built entire economies on exploiting fish populations and overfishing to the point of ecosystem collapse---but the moment Indigenous peoples exercise their treaty rights, suddenly, these settler fishermen are conservationists. Give me a break.

Indigenous African nations had a variety of ways to address gender diversity before colonisation, which didn't usually include dehumanising trans and queer family members. May this case in Kenya set off a wave of Africans decolonising gender in their laws. 🙌🏽🖤

Did you know that on October 1, Alberta will have the lowest minimum wage across Canada? Even the conservatives in Saskatchewan are raising their minimum wage. Danielle Smith and the UCP refuse to support workers. They won’t raise the minimum wage, but we will. Better is possible, Alberta.

East Khan Younis has turned into a black hole—whoever enters doesn’t come out. The bodies of the martyrs have been lying in the streets for weeks, and no one can reach them. No one knows what’s happening there, whether there’s still rubble, or sand, or if even that has been wiped away too.

Canada recognizes a Palestinian state — while still calling what the UN has determined to be genocide a “humanitarian disaster.” It’s also still putting conditions on a recognition of self-determination.

"Logging protesters in Walbran brace for possible arrest"

Out of 20 major producers of fossil fuels around the world—including the US, Russia, Saudi Arabia, China, Canada, Brazil, Australia and the UK—only the UK, Australia and Norway plan to reduce production of oil and gas by 2030. 11 countries surveyed increased plans for fossil fuel production.

This is unacceptable. #felon47 wants to tap into Canada's water, “very large faucet” is not a bluff. Carney must not #CAVE again?! #CdnPoli financialpost.com/feature/cana...

Canadians don't have rights. We have privileges that can be revoked at the drop of a hat by rightwing perverts who are obsessed with the genitals of children.

Pass it on: a basic income costs less than poverty.

ICYMI: Ellen Gabriel and I published a new piece on resisting Canada's "elbows up" colonialism, for @canadiandimension.bsky.social: canadiandimension.com/articles/vie...

Wonderful to see my fellow humans push back against @mark-carney.bsky.social and @liberalca.bsky.social's anti-human rights and anti-environmental policies, like Bill C-2. Letters to oppose Bill C-2: iclmg.ca/stop-bill-c-2/ #DrawTheLine #cdnpoli #taxtherich #migrantrights #gaza #justtransition

Much respect and love to Dr. Ge. He embodies a humane leadership that we haven't seen from @liberalca.bsky.social or the cons even once since 2023 when israel accelerated its genocide against Palestinians; a genocide which israel has been perpetrating since 1948. #cdnpoli

Dncan Kinney: sobeys has locked out workers at their balzac warehouse and teamsters local 987 is calling on albertans to boycott sobeys, safeway, freshco, voilà, m&m's meat, and petro-canada convenience stores to support the workers. i will be boycotting my local freshco.. x.com/duncankinney...

1. We've been under an assault of US propaganda for decades. 2. The US will still be dead to me after the orange monster is gone; their problems / hatred go much deeper than a single president. 3. The US is incapable of making amends; look at their cancellation of Reconstruction. #cdnpoli

Recognition of State of Palestine by Canada, France, UK etc is not only performative it is dangerous. It doesnt commit to ending genocide or implementing arms embargo and sanctions. Plus, explicitly calls for demilitarization of Palestine and disarming resistance. Reviving Oslo is not an option!

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

Free Palestine rally in downtown Vancouver (also featured climate change, Free Sudan, Free the Congo, LGBTQ+ rights, recognize the Tamil genocide, Land Back, end wealth inequality, BLM, unions and worker co-op members, all merged into a mega rally of solidarity)
