Workers can win against the billionaire class when we stand together. Thank to you @ufcw1518.com and everyone else who fought for what’s right. Up next: a wealth tax, public groceries, and affordable housing. Let’s get to work. #bcpoli

Apple & Google removed ICE tracking apps in their app stores. TikTok reportedly suppressed videos criticizing ICE & the shooting of Alex Pretti. Meta blocked Facebook groups tracking ICE & links to a database of agents that the government wants to keep secret. Big Tech is enabling Trump's regime.

FT seems to have a few more sources than just Jeff Rath, so 🤷‍♀️ #abpoli #canpoli

HAPPENING NOW: Hanover County in Virginia unanimously opposes sale of warehouse property owned by Vancouver-based Jim Pattison Developments to Immigration and Customs Enforcement to be used as holding and processing facility. The local gov can't veto it, but hopes DHS will reconsider. Story to come

A suburban county in central Virginia is considering its legal options over a plan by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to purchase a warehouse property owned by Vancouver-based Jim Pattison Developments to use as a holding and processing centre www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Vancouver businessman Jim Pattison’s range of holdings includes a warehouse in Virginia that ICE wants to buy and convert into a detention centre. The leader of the BC Green Party is calling for a boycott of Save-On-Foods and other businesses he owns. @jenstden.bsky.social reports. #bcpoli #uspoli

“We offer soldiers socialism (free housing, healthcare, education) to go abroad and defend capitalism.” The United States of America is in this mess because white chauvinism and American chauvinism was never held accountable.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Hey @saveonfoods.bsky.social my family will never shop at Save On again if you support ICE in any way, including by taking their money for your building. #BCPoli #CdnPoli

Here is the email reply I received from Jim Pattison Group @saveonfoods.bsky.social, and my response to them. Note the phone number should you wish to call them to express your disapproval of their plan to sell a building to ICE for use as a detention centre. #CdnPoli #BCPoli

-laughs nervously in Ukrainian- So er, I don't want to be alarmist my Canadian friends but it's not a GREAT sign when the superpower next door starts talking about how the people of a resource rich region of yours yearn for the freedom to join them and suggesting referendums...

I keep reflecting on the surrealness of Mark Carney, former Governor of the Bank of England and Bank of Canada, invoking an anti-communist essay by Vaclav Havel to declare at Davos that the American-led neoliberal capitalist world order is a “lie”

Where we are: "... Military planners are modelling a U.S. invasion from the south, expecting American forces to overcome Canada’s strategic positions on land and at sea within a week and possibly as quickly as two days." Such an order is still seen as unlikely, the officials add.

Edison Motors is eating Tesla’s lunch with made-in-BC hybrid truck manufacturing … This is the kind of local innovation we need to build a 21st century economy. Thanks to Chace at @edisonmotors.bsky.social for the amazing tour of your new shop in Donald, BC! 🚚 #fighttheoligarchs #edisonmotors

Grok, the gas-powered deepfake-generating "anti-woke" chatbot that used to refer to itself as "MechaHitler," attracted a substantial investment from Canadians' pensions.

The NATO countries plus China could destroy the U.S. without firing one shot. They could start selling off U.S. Bonds and good luck in having American soldiers do battle when they're not being paid.

“Old stock white Canadians, and that’s us, and we don’t have to apologize for this room being filled with white people,” said Sylvestre. “This used to be what Alberta was. We’re not apologizing for being ourselves.” Out loud now. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

Dear Canadian friends, 🍁🍁 I’ve emailed my MP twice, asking her to support this petition. I will send more reminders prior to January 27th requesting support of Petition e-6679 Honesty in politics protects all of us. I encourage you to ask your MP to support this nonpartisan bill. ❤️🇨🇦 forever.

"Officers threw flash bangs and tear gas in my car. I got six kids in the car" "His wife, Destiny Jackson, told FOX 9 their 6-month-old infant stopped breathing and lost consciousness. She then performed CPR on her baby."

Through Paris’s 'participatory budgeting,' residents as young as eight years old can propose major urban projects, over 1,000 of which have been implemented.

Mamdani started universal childcare on day 8. Seven years into their $10-a-day plan, the BC NDP is walking away from universal childcare access and is cowardly returning to a failing, income-tested approach. BC families deserve better. #bcpoli

I'm very proud to part of an organization that is expanding local coverage and remaining true to its mandate. Covering local news means accountability, community engagement, reflecting culture, giving a voice to people often not heard, and combatting disinformation. It's vital to democracy.

The American owned Sun media chain are doing the propaganda work of quislings.

Many of us left the 60,000 or so followers who read & spread the work that is our livelihood (freelancers often drive their own traffic) because we won’t write the content that fuels a hate site. Yet my MP & Prime Minister still post on Musk’s Stormfront lite with integrated CSAM generator platform.

A decade ago, when Trump one the first time, I and other Black writers tried to make us see that racism — both explicit and deeply seeded — was at the root of Trump’s rise. We were dismissed even as late as last year as people attributed economic anxieties to Trump’s wins. DO YOU BELIEVE US NOW?

Govt of Canada Communication: THEN vs NOW

Carney, as Chairman of the Board of Brookfield Asset Management, gave $250 million to Musk to turn Twitter into X. Any questions?

Evan Solomon, the minister responsible for AI regulation and safety in Canada, declined an interview request.
