Carney’s deal with Danielle Smith is the sellout of the century: scrapping climate legislation for a pipeline that will never be built. We need powerlines, not pipelines. Our path is through climate leadership & building good jobs in the clean economy.

Every few weeks we gotta make posts like this”call your dem reps to tell them to not vote to allow Lord Killdude to shove people into a volcano” and then the dem reps go “we’ve made an amazing deal where Lord Killdude can have his volcano so long as he promises not to shove people into it”

People are saying there's no upside to this deal. Wait a second. Isn't the end of Chuck Schumer's political career an upside?

I wish politicians would just openly defend jorking it. Just rip off the sexual repression hegemony in one fell swoop.

Founders of Vancouver’s Drug User Liberation Front Eris Nyx and Jeremy Kalinin have just been found guilty of drug trafficking. Justice Murray rules CDSA exemption didn’t include procurement & distribution. “There is no doubt all of DULF’s actions were for one purpose.” @pressprogress.ca

Hi Bluesky 👋 Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

fact checkers at the new yorker are the hardest working most skilled and smartest journalists in the world. fuck condé for throwing one out like trash. up with unions, down with coward bosses

Breaking News: Late last night Conde Nast illegally fired 4 union organizers who asked company execs to explain the downsizing of Teen Vogue and continued layoffs. We’ve filed a grievance.

Canada’s deficit is projected to rise by $17B, yet ordinary folks face cuts to essential services while the ultra-rich and corporations avoid billions in taxes. Closing loopholes and taxing offshore wealth could fully fund health care, housing, and education—proving the crisis is a political choice.

🎧 PODCAST: Looking inside Mark Carney’s ‘extremely Orwellian’ austerity budget From $60 billion in cuts to eliminating 40,000 jobs, Canadian Labour Congress Sr. Economist @dtcochrane.bsky.social shares his impressions of the Carney government's first budget live inside the media lock-up in Ottawa

Can someone who is a liberal, and hasn't blocked me, please explain what the tax cut on private jet ownership is supposed to accomplish in this budget?

i hope this election cycle empowers everyone the next time a centrist liberal says to drop pro-trans and pro-immigrant rhetoric to enthusiastically tell them to shut the fuck up

What establishment Dems tried to do to Mamdani, the BC NDP successfully did to Anjali Appadurai. She was poised to win the leadership race by actually getting people to join the party. The old guard didn't like that, so they crushed the next generation to maintain their grip on power.

there are fucking nazis in the white house and the reform movement has never put out a statement like this assuaging the concerns of jewish americans about a politician winning an election in my lifetime.

I am being inspired so hard right now

omg, I tuned in and they are playing 'should I stay or should I go' lol lol lol lol lol Bye Bye

if democrats are serious about winning they need to learn from tonight and convert to islam

And may he inspire many more!!!!!!

Ordinary Canadians could always depend on Ed when he was on the mound. Let's go Blue Jays! #WANTITALL

I am just out here giving candy away for free

Is it too cold for candy this year? Too windy? Blue Jays? What is up?

“Tell your children who the cowards were.”

NEW - The BCGEU has reached a tentative agreement with the BC Government to end a 8 week strike. BCGEU members will receive 3% raises a year over a 4 year term. #bcpoli

Dude started his first term by lying about crowd sizes... it feels weird to still be quoting 1984 this far into the Trumpian era. Aside from the rise of fascism, I feel like the main theme of this era will be liberals saying 'this is bad' as they are pushed off a cliff.

I feel like I'm living in Groundhog Day where every day for the last 8 years I wake up to people shocked and outraged that the NYT is a propaganda arm for the corporate state yet we collectively never seem to just divest from them already

How about we meet you half way, some kings. Several kings? Kings for some miniature American flags for others.

Be a fanboy of your friends work whatever it is.. Be evangelical about their work, never stop promoting it and them. Buy their work, give it to people who might like it - even those that might not.

Old enough to remember when kids being anti-semitic was the basis for a federal government assault on higher education

Picked up this book published by @btlbooks.com at the CUPE convention. Support independent publishers. Free Palestine.

This sounds like a good ass game.

I did send this in the morning, but I am here all day

Hanging out early at the @cupescfp.bsky.social convention! Come say hi!

One Battle After Another was pretty good. A+

I hope Lindsay is just always recording. Maybe she has a server farm somewhere with audio recordings of her entire existence.

The entire dem strategy and media liberal elite position for the past twenty years has been "I know you want me dead, but very soon we will be friends. Please be my friend."

The government is reducing service standards and Canada Post’s biggest advantage: its nationwide network. This plan is about cutting back the postal service instead of investing to give it new revenue tools through things like postal banking. It’s shameful.

It was indeed a great time!

shit ain’t over til it’s over

Avi Lewis said fuck fascism... I agree

Vince Gasparro, the Parliamentary Secretary for "Combatting Crime," just announced that the Irish band Kneecap are banned from entering Canada, 3 days after he met with Israel lobbyists.

As someone with boomer parents who, like the rest of their demographic, watch a lot of late night shows it makes so much sense to me why this specifically has him agitated.

A conference on refugee healthcare lost sponsors, and a talk for employees at Canada's public health agency was cancelled, after Palestine advocates were labelled "antisemitic."

Anyone surprised by Ezra Klein legitimizing blatant White Supremacy as 'doing politics the right way'... should look back at some of his older work

Ezra Klein wrote a book called Abundance, where the main takeaway was to get rid of regulations. I think it is safe to say at this point that he is a conservative, and not as everyone else has been calling him, 'a centrist'.

What a joke country we live in.

From @pressprogress.ca editor @lukelebrun.ca : "[Mark] Carney took a strong position on the single defining issue of the biggest Canadian election in a generation and then basically flip-flopped." Read the full op-ed in today's @thestar.com : www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...
