FYI Canadian media : Recently, the Criminal Code removed the term “child pornography” and replaced it with “child sexual abuse and exploitation material (CSAEM)”. Words matter and language like "child porn" conflates abuse and exploitation with consensual sexual activity. Use the right words!

Great column from @hannahdaly.ie about the "laziest possible excuse in the climate debate"

Thanks to Sheilagh and the @nlndp.bsky.social for keeping climate action top of mind, while Premier Wakeham and former Premier John Hogan have failed to even acknowledge this dire threat.

Before choosing bottled water over tap water, remember it takes more than 10X the water that a bottle of water holds to make the plastic bottle and transport the water. And that’s before considering the fuel and GHGs, the 1000 year bottle life, and the RIDICULOUS amount of $ we’re paying for water.

Meanwhile in Alberta, the UCP government continues to surpass itself in mean-spirited stupidity 🤦‍♀️ Great column by @djclimenhaga.bsky.social !

Mark Carney could remove the emissions cap, the tanker ban, and anything else Danielle Smith demands. Her proposed pipeline still wouldn't get built because the business case for actually filling it gets worse with each passing day. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2025/10/23/o...

Reprehensible! The UCP is virulently anti-labour and clearly doesn't care about children's education. Thanks to @jimbostanford.bsky.social for clarity on this issue.

The NL NDP will increase the amount of public housing in NL. 👏 👏 Desperately needed!

Over the past 4 years, the waitlist for NLHC units has risen to approximately 2500. That is 2500 too many. An NDP Government will come to the table ready to tackle the problem, taking bold action to build 1000 housing units across the province that are both affordable and accessible. Every year.

Every Canadian deserves the right to fight for fair wages and fair treatment. But the government keeps siding with bosses in bad-faith deals. It's time to fix that. The NDP is pledging to put power back in workers’ hands by throwing Section 107 out the window. www.cpac.ca/headline-pol...

Totally agree! The haste around this deal leads to mistrust - especially since a provincial election is imminent.

So regressive & dystopian it feels like, um, The Handmaid’s Tale…👇 “…public school board is yanking more than 200 books from its library…” “…including literary classics such as author Margaret Atwood’s ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’” MAGA Alberta: edmontonjournal.com/news/edmonto....

Absolutely!

YES! It's bananas for us to act like we can win a war with the USA through a ground game. We need diplomacy, better relations with other allies, etc. Yet, even Global Affairs Canada (our literal diplomats!) are not excluded from the funding cuts. Yet DND and the RCMP are. It boggles the mind!

Pharmacare saves lives & reduces ER pressure. The Carney government is walking back the 1st step the #NDP secured. Lives are at risk. Join me, @HealthCoalition @CanadianLabour @CFNU & medical professionals—demand #PharmacareNow for all.

Premier John Hogan and Health Minister Krista Lynn Howell need to get on this now, especially as @mark-carney.bsky.social and the federal Liberals are pulling back on their campaign promise to protect Pharmacare. NLers: Write the Premier, Health Minister and your MHA ASAP! @govnl.bsky.social

Why is Canada even entertaining the idea of joining Trump's "Golden Dome," a program that would cost billions of dollars and likely would not even work? Let's look at the facts: By @jessicawestphd.bsky.social from @ploughsharesca.bsky.social www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

The public absolutely has a right to know the details of this travesty! Who do they think was going to pay for these secret exit bonuses?

"Put simply, 78% of Canadians want the CBC/Radio-Canada to continue, especially if it addresses the major criticisms levelled against it. This is true across political lines, ages and regions." #cdnpoli

I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better

“Nasa data reveals dramatic rise in intensity of weather events. Extreme events such as floods and droughts are becoming more frequent, longer-lasting and more severe, study says.” Obviously. That’s what #ClimateChange does. Makes the bad things more likely, and worse. More likely. And worse.

I loved the freedom I had as a kid in this community, but increased auto traffic volume & speed means it's no longer as safe for kids to have the run of the place as we did. PCSP remains an area frequented by cyclists from all around, it could be so much better and safer. chng.it/XvHXkQWPM8
