I want to mail something with this stamp right now #Pride2025 www.canadapost-postescanada.ca/blogs/person...

DOGE is coming here, or maybe it's already here. Like this article says -- our version of it anyway. Be afraid, be very afraid. Thanks for a great piece @vassb.bsky.social

Highly recommend.

I guess Golden Age means Gilded Age. The previous one was a lovely dream for some, but a nightmare for most. On a related note, I wonder who will build the libraries, opera houses, and theatres this time? Asking for a friend. canadiandimension.com/articles/vie...

Feels like we should be able to pull this off in Alberta, eh?

Unless we examine capitalism to reflect true environmental costs, it will collapse under its own weight. Starting with the insurance companies I guess. @canrac.bsky.social is trying to get climate on the ballot. Given @mark-carney.bsky.social 's background on this, it really should be.

For anyone thinking there is little difference in the election campaigns, here @lindamcquaig.bsky.social makes some good points. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Yes! Be "concerned that the incoming Prime Minister, whoever it may be, won’t understand that this threat isn’t just an economic one" Big #Elextn2025 ideas welcome. Great insight from @sandela.bsky.social on her pod this week #NotUS #ElbowsUp #StopHate @antihate.ca www.antihate.ca/election_202...

Nonviolent resistance to this mess! Love it. @riverasun.bsky.social @paceebeneorg.bsky.social #NotUS

"Equality is not yet achieved in any way, shape or form" - Hawa Dumbuya-Sesay, executive director for YWCA N.W.T. Let's not regress @mark-carney.bsky.social #ElbowsUp #NotUS Election watch: @thewalrus.ca @thetyee.ca @readthemaple.bsky.social @theglobeandmail.com @briarpatchmag.bsky.social

Where is our choice that is committed to fighting the anti-feminist global shift to the right? Cutting the Women's Ministry doesn't feel like Liberal is the choice. Do better @mark-carney.bsky.social if you want my vote. @criaw-icref.bsky.social #DemandBetter #feminism #cdnpoli

We need Hillary Clinton here.

This is a bad sign. Let's watch for gender in the @mark-carney.bsky.social platform. Should be coming next week. Thank you @criaw-icref.bsky.social and the list.

Will @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social enforce Canadian laws so our newspapers are Canadian-owned? This feels fundamental, especially in light of threats to the @savethecbc.bsky.social . Looking forward to this in the Liberal platform #NotUS @lindamcquaig.bsky.social www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Capitalism for the win.

"Maple Washing" - I love it! Thanks @vassb.bsky.social The Big Fix is an impressive take on what is really making us poor in Canada. No easy answers to buying Canadian, but it's great to see people making an effort and caring to learn.

Take Action! supporteducationworkers.ca

This!

Yes, David Suzuki @davidsuzukifdn.bsky.social we should have seen it coming. Good read here, including important quotes from @caroloff.bsky.social 's book "At A Loss for Words". Could this post be more Canadian? #NotUs #ElbowsUp rabble.ca/environment/...

Love it!

It should never have been a question about searching. #MMIW

"Corporate feminism dominates what passes for mainstream feminism in Canada today. Tinkering with corporate boards, getting more girls into science, technology and engineering disciplines and inclusion measures have become the work that most corporate players are proud to engage in." - p 192 #IWD

skirtsafire.com - on now in Edmonton. Happy International Women's Day!

Reminder: we are being trained not to care about other people. It underlines the attacks on migrants, on DEI, on trans youth, on so-called "wokeness." Sure there are legitimate critiques but this is not about critiques. It's about supercharging capitalism's culture of uncare.

Great conversation. Nice step back from the daily reactions to all the shock and awe. “we have lost any checks and balances against the abhorrent accumulation of wealth” @nolore.bsky.social

Thank you for that Wab! It’s perfect. Made my day

@mattearoach.bsky.social– Big fan here of you, Bookends and Jeopardy. Also #canadareads of course. Nice to see diverse books supported rather than banned. Almost done reading all 5 books and looking forward to the contest. Will Bookends be featuring #TheBattleOfTheBooks #booksky #CanLit

Hey @rejectedcentral.com ! Great episode on my favourite new podcast find. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/r...

Sovereignty? What sovereignty? Check out this doc by @caroloff.bsky.social if you remember 1987. And especially if you don't. Love CBC radio (TV needs work) #NotUS @savethecbc.bsky.social , @policyalternatives.ca, @cbcnews-rss.bsky.social, @ianhanomansing.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

"Canada is in for a rocky ride. That’s what happens when your country has been tied to a global superpower. Things are going to get weird as that superpower collapses" - Nora Loreto Highly recommend "The Social Safety Net" and looking forward to the next one.

Love this! It’s the kind of thing that will make a difference. More please.

These are arguably some of the best organizers in the world, yet the question remains: What kind of organizing can break through and create a movement that sustains itself? @pivotpod.bsky.social @crooked.com @thebulwark.bsky.social @chrislhayes.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com @aoc.bsky.social #NotUS

Hey @crooked.com . Even though I think PSTW does not get quite how serious the situation is between the US & Canada, I must say, this latest episode about Ukraine is one of the most important ones you've ever made. Thanks guys! youtu.be/fG6ukBB8td8?...

If we truly cared about student safety and public education, the real solution is to meet workers' demands & end the strike. Is this a move in that direction? Who will be supporting the teachers and high-needs students in the classroom? www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/6e5a700...

Thank you @maxfawcett.bsky.social . Agree! #NotUS The 'freedom convoy' never really loved Canada www.nationalobserver.com/2025/02/21/o...

These support workers haven't had a raise in 10 years. Insulting offers made. Not a good look #ableg Children and teachers are suffering.

Next week!

Wow. Just wow. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Wouldn't it be swell if we used this opportunity to "develop and fight for an alternative political and economic vision"? Nationalism is a dead end.

Let's learn something together! climatejustice.ubc.ca/events/event...

Love this list! We see a couple Coralus community members on there too 👀

These are good ideas. www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...
