Having a completely controlled opposition means we don’t have a democracy anymore.

Canada’s Healthcare was privatized during COVID. Pay=care No pay=waitlists Our prov govt Cons/Libs/NDP knew private cost 2x public for less service/worse outcomes. Did it anyway. MLAs & MPs should be forced to divest stocks in Manulife, Telus, etc. Immoral getting richer off suffering & deaths.

Can't believe the NDP are so bad at this that they colluded with Poilievre to pass this atrocious budget and they did it in a way that only the Cons look like they voted against it while the NDP takes all the flak for propping up Carney's austerity and gutting the public sector

Seriously, this guy (and his cronies) can also fuck all the way off.

Do better CBC. You've got a crew at the ostrich farm covering the imminent cull due to avian flu, but no one covering the several poultry farms in the lower mainland where thousands of chickens are being culled to prevent the spread of this disease. Stop feeding the ostrich frenzy. #cdnpoli

This budget does not resemble anything the Liberals ran on in the election and it is well past time Canadian media start pointing that out. It was the biggest bait & switch in Canadian electoral history #cdnpoli

If you are under the age of 45 and are Canadian— understand this budget will indenture us for the rest of our lives.

THIS BUDGET CUTS GALEN WESTON’S TAXES WHAT IS WRONG WITH EVERYONE? CAN YOU NOT READ? #cdnpoli

Lots of AI and weapons though! www.cbc.ca/news/indigen...

Trying not to get sucked in by all these bad post-election takes. My most uncompromising take may be that I don't care how many nice things you do, if you excuse throwing out the belongings of people who live in tents. Montreal can do so much better than Projet.

"Oh no, winning political power? Is that really what we want?" - Democrats, apparently

even when far rightwingers are having an extremely positive experience on all fronts they’re still able to hallucinate a situation where they’re the victim

If the Carney government deploys generative AI -- a product that by design cannot be trusted to provide reliable information -- to answer Canadians' tax question, it should be required to forgive the taxes of anyone who follows any incorrect answers.

Or if you're Mark Carney, you'd invite him to speak to your caucus.

Great thread here on navigating COVID as a parent as well as the media’s complicity in mass infection. The CBC has been hugely disappointing throughout the pandemic. (Looking at you, Ian Hanomansing and buddy Bogoch). You may not have marched with the freedumb convoy but you might as well have.

“If Montreal’s younger demographic wants to be counted in this election and have their priorities and concerns represented at city hall, they better take the time to cast a ballot. Because right now — and I mean this with zero ageism — the over-65 crowd seems to be voting strong.”

Un excellent texte de notre candidate au conseil de ville sur le Plateau Mont-Royal, Shirley Barnea. Elle a raison, on a besoin de l’énergie et de la détermination des jeunes dans nos instances gouvernementales ! 🔥 On a besoin de Shirley au conseil de ville ! www.ledevoir.com/opinion/idee...

it seems like carney isn’t very good at the thing he’s obviously trying to do which is the opposite of the thing he said he was going to do

Ah, I see Poilievre has progressed to the stage of Trump Playbook where he *checks notes* pushes to jail his political opponents. Fun!

Bill S-209 grants government unprecedented power to condition access to lawful websites in Canada with age verification requirements. Non-compliance leads to penalties and site blocking. Senator @jmivilledechene.bsky.social confirms covers more than adult websites www.michaelgeist.ca/2025/10/sena...

Defunding the police seems radical, while increasing funding without oversight is somehow normal.

Des citoyennes et citoyens du Québec à bord de la Flottille pour Gaza, dont mon amie Nima Machouf, ont été arrêtés illégalement par Israël. Je suis profondément inquiète pour leur sécurité. La solidarité n’est pas un crime.

@stevenguilbeault.bsky.social The courageous person I wish was my MP Nima Machouf is being illegally detained by Israel. You have been my MP for 8 years now? This would be the time to finally find a spine and do something.

I can’t afford $800 for Covid boosters for my family. This fucking sucks.

Do better, Quebec. Restricting access to only those who can afford it is complete bullshit.

Early reports of another cyclist hit on Parc & Bernard. Montreal city council should have fixed Parc years ago. It's disgraceful that elected officials are attending memorials there and vowing to vote for funds for more studies. Just fucking fix it already. Remove car lanes.

If you relied on Liberal MP Judy Sgro's analysis of lawful access in Bill C-2 in the House of Commons yesterday, you wouldn’t know the bill also includes a warrantless information demand power and applies to all providers of services, not just digital data. www.ourcommons.ca/documentview...

Hearing that it was announced on the radio that Covid vaccine doses will cost Quebecers $100-$150, except that it will be free for elderly or immunocompromised. 😡 How on earth are families supposed to afford vaccination?! Schools will just be full of unvaccinated kids, spreading illness. #cdnpoli

Quelle décision honteuse de la part de la CAQ — le même parti ayant payé 500 M$ pour SAAQClic…

Absolutely infuriating

The @mark-carney.bsky.social is playing with the fascist that wrote the fascist playbook that the fascist 🇺🇸 admin is implementing in the 🇺🇸 You. Don’t. Collaborate. With. Fascists. You. Build. A. Stronger. System. To. Keep. Them. Out. C*lisse

Yes, Liberal partisans are defending the invitation of a leading US fascist to meet with the Liberal cabinet. We're not smart enough to understand why this is a good thing, actually.

I think he invited Project 2025 in because he thinks his plan is advanced enough not to care what Canadians think anymore.

Reminder that Project 2025 is available to read. We don't need normalize meeting with outright fascists.

This is how insane people sound when you tell them why A.I. is bad

Considering he was running on increasing it's funding nobody consented to cuts for the CBC. If people wanted that the Cons would have won. Carney is a fucking liar and Liberals can't admit it.

*Every* *single* *person* that I know who held their nose and voted for Carney to stop Poilievre has been disillusioned and regrets their vote. It makes me wonder what question the polls that show his support increasing since the election are asking.

"red tape" is a squishy rhetorical device. It's both protecting people from toxic sludge, and forcing small business owners to do countless hours of form filling. I wonder how much the latter red tape was on purpose, as it gets the small biz associations on board to cut the first kind.
