If PM @mark-carney.bsky.social wants to know what I am for, here it is: I want Canada to become a leader in the green energy transition. I want other countries to look at us with envy at how we can not only survive, but thrive on renewables. nationalpost.com/news/we-dont...

Carney's government fundamentally defaults to serving the largest, most powerful corporations, and seems completely uninterested in anything that is human - our values, our bodies, our communities, our cultures.

Another tough week for Carney fans. Lots of work to do to rationalize everything he does/doesn't do. 🧵 1/

I love having a prime minister who completely buys into the tech industry’s framing of AI, such that he’s throwing billions of dollars at AI companies and pushing more Canadians into relying on their shitty products. To him, the core issue is “engagement and adoption,” regardless of the drawbacks.

What an inspiring contrast from the “let’s return to fascism despite all the lessons of history” prescription. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"We also have the French and Russian Revolution as wealth-sharing models when nothing else works ..." Yes.

Typically sharp stuff from @doctorow.pluralistic.net,whose (recent?) greater presence on BlueSky is also very welcome: www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.” “Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath Some costs are savings.

"Strategic voters" need to read this truly impressive and ever expanding list and ask yourself, is this really what you "strategically" voted for? This is the stuff that will send people towards the Maple MAGA next election. And even a false majority with 30something % of the vote. #CdnPoli #PRNow

A good life for the 99% isn’t a pipe dream: it can be done. Thomas Piketty, Lucas Chancel, Cornelia Mohren, Rowaida Moshrif, Moritz Odersky and Anmol Somanchi. Our plan is radical – but by transforming how we live on a finite planet, nearly everyone gains www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Piketty et al propose a world sovereign fund holding 10% of the world capital stock, a global wealth tax rising to 20% a year on billionaires and a global income tax rising to 90% at the very top. Global Justice Report: globaljusticeproject.wid.world

Will the Prime Minister stop the delay tactics, meet with first nations' women leaders, as requested, and pass Bill S-2 as amended now to end the discrimination and violations of the charter and international law?

Carney fans, rationalize away!

Our government will give sports teams billions of your tax dollars for stadiums, billions to build fossil fuel plants, billions to corporations to improve profits. Our government will not give taxpayers solar panels to reduce utility costs or build great public transit. Our priorities are against us

The more and more I think about AI, the more that it's clear that it's older people imposing a new order on young people who have not had the chance to learn the skills that AI wants to steal from them, while older people are asking what the big problem is, knowing how to do stuff is overrated.

Read Palantir's Manifesto. These ghouls feel they no longer have to hide their fascism. WTF why is Carney coseying up to these monsters? #CdnPoli #PRNow www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Contrary to what this Liberal government seems to think - Free, Prior and Informed Consent is not optional. It is an obligation affirmed in the Constitution Act of 1982 and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. (3/3)

Teachers organizations from across Canada release joint statment condemning use of the Notwithstanding Clause to override teachers' rights, with the CTF launching a petition calling on the feds to annul or repeal any future action on teachers involving the NWC www.globenewswire.com/news-release...

this is, of course, the fundamental design goal for any machine "general intelligence"

Pennywise and pound-foolish from our banker PM. Is this what "strategic voters" were hoping to get from holding their nose and voting Liberal? #CdnPoli #PRNow

This video camera study showed that less than 5% of people on bikes broke traffic laws while riding bikes, yet 66% of people did so while driving. And perhaps even more importantly, if you REALLY want even MORE bike-riders to obey laws, build more protected bike infrastructure. Via @carltonreid.com

Safe, protected bike-lanes are: Better for business Better for emissions Better for air quality Better for space Better for public health Better for noise Better for equity Better for affordability Better for public costs Better for safety for EVERYONE Better for oil independence Better.

If you haven’t yet, I hope you’ll consider following our work at @urbantruth.bsky.social. The success of that still new initiative depends entirely on how much attention it can earn, and how often the messages are shared and repeated. We appreciate everything you do to help with that. #UrbanTruth

Thread. And once again, I am recommending the first chapter of Kim Stanley Robinson’s The Ministry for the Future. The first chapter is the ebook preview everywhere, so you don’t even have to buy anything. It describes a heat emergency that _will_ happen & less drastic versions HAVE happened.

With Stephen Guilbeault's departure from the LPC, cult-of-Carney supporters have chosen a climate narrative to gaslight us with: "You don't get it: we need to make the money to transition away from oil before we can start to do it. This is a vital first step!" Here's why that's total bullshit. 🧵1/

Most of these people would say they voted for Carney to keep out Conservatives. If you then continue to support him while he enacts Conservative policies then you’re revealing how ignorant and asinine you are.

Carney stans really don't understand that not only are they not changing any minds by leaping to his defense no matter what he does, they're making him seem even worse. Even if he was great, having rabidly annoying stans makes the object of that fandom more annoying just through association.

I know it’s a big ask, but everyone needs to watch more interviews and panels with CEOs. They are so disturbing and repellent but to really face the reality of not only the fact we’re in a class war but the nature of who it is we’re battling, and the future they are authoring, is essential.

Mark Carney is the economic thinking of the 20th century wrapped in an expensive suit.

I post Corey Doctorow's devastating essay filled with receipts. And a cultist responds with a link to Liberal propaganda.

Out of the gate there has been major dissent to Mark Carney’s policies across Canada, we just don’t own the media and platforms to gain visibility: bsky.app/profile/lale...

“Google’s AI Overviews are peddling misinformation on a scale that may be virtually unprecedented in human history. A recent analysis conducted at the behest of The New York Times found that the AI-generated summaries, which appear above Google search results, are accurate around 91% of the time.”

Cory Doctorow is so damned good that I feel like I should repost everything he writes, but this thread on current Canadian politics stands out not because it's more insightful than his other brilliant work, but because it's so timely, exactly what every single Canadian needs to read right now.

"Strategic voters" need to read Corey Doctorow's @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy analysis of @mark-carney.bsky.social Carney rejects the Carneyism that got him elected. #CdnPoli #PRNow pluralistic.net/2026/05/30/r...

Reminder that the Trump regime is still blowing up suspected “drug boats” — killing 197 people since September. But no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're taking Trump's word for it. This is murder. We must not lose sight of this lawlessness.

BREAKING: Canada exported $14.6 million of military goods to Israel in 2025, according to data released today by Global Affairs Canada. www.readthemaple.com/canada-expor...

I am utterly disgusted looking at @mark-carney.bsky.social Bluesky feed. This is not the Canada I want - a country that celebrates militarism and oil and gas extraction. I want a country that cares for its people with strong social programs and that is committed to climate action.

30,000 excess deaths over 5 days of unprecedented heat in India. Are our leaders saying "holy crap, we've gotta do something"? Nope. Carney is licensing new oil and gas. Trump is attacking Iran. They don't care.

The majority of physical and sexual violence that women and men experience comes from intimate partners or family members. The majority of the perpetrators are straight cis men. LGBTQ+ people are disproportionately the victims of SA. Fascists never talk about this so they can normalize abuse

Great thread. Just a small sample of Carney's many betrayals. What do "strategic voters" think of all these broken promises? #CdnPoli #PRNow

Who'd have thought it would turn into a mafia market?

I think at the core of this is a really deep political divide over the core nature of what freedom is. At stake here is this question: is freedom the end of exploitation and rule, the ability to work and make decisions together without anyone ruling over each other, Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I’d counter with, “Why are you such a mean-spirited, selfish supporter of an orange dipshit child-rapist?”

When I say (pretty often as it turns out) "Told you" about Carney, I don't mean it as "Nya, nya, told you so. I win". We all lose. I wish I had been wrong about Carney. But I wasn't, because the warning signs were very clear from the start. The sooner Canadians wake up, the less damage he'll do.

“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath 50 reasons for more walkable streets.

87 years ago, on the 27th of May 1939, the St. Louis arrived in Havana with 937 Jewish refugees arrived in Havana. Only 28 were allowed to disembark following anti-Semitic demonstrations in Havana. The ship was later unable to dock in the U.S. or Canada and was forced to return to Europe. #otd 🗃️

Carney’s rhetoric not matching his government’s action once again. Germany just rejected Palantir in favour of a French company. London’s mayor blocked its police from contracting with Palantir. But Canada is still signing new deals with a company actively saying it exists to defend American power.

Tomorrow I'm talking with James McGinnis of David Energy about the coming era of plug-in DERs -- ie, solar panels and batteries that are plug-and-play, requiring no paperwork or interconnection hassle. He thinks they're going to eventually swamp permitted DERs. Got questions?

Il y a des ultra-riche au Canada avec des richesse inconcevable et en même temps les Canadiens vivent dans une crise du coût de la vie. Cela c'est injuste. La solution ? Taxe les riches.
