This holiday season, join me & @naomiaklein.bsky.social for a different kind of family gathering: a coast-to-coast gathering of our extended democratic socialist family! On Dec 29, we’ll come together to reflect, strategize, and grow our movement. RSVP here: act.lewisforleader.ca/outreach-party

Do you have the courage to embrace Kennedy Stewart's Road Tax?

Get this into your rotted capitalist brains: Canada Post is a service and Crown corporation, not a private enterprise. Stop calling it a “bottomless money pit”. The more you all focus on how it needs to be profitable, the more service cuts there will be, to the detriment of all residents in Canada.

Canadian treachery is campaigning from the left and governing on the right

Ok this object was way up on top of the tank in front of the drill hall on Beatty St for at least a day and just now managed to climb up to get it The tiger is free

Trump did lots of weird stuff in 2025. But if you ask me the biggest thing is killing around a million people. Several hundred thousand kids. Nobody really knows how many, and I doubt he even knows he did it at all www.cgdev.org/blog/update-...

The U.S. is weaponizing global health aid. Countries that agree to incarcerate "deportees" get deals. Those that don’t get cut off. CECOT is the prototype.

One of my favourite things i worked on this year came from an access to information request that gave me correspondence between grocery executives and ISED. Read this piece in ricochet!

FBI sought interview with former prince Andrew during Peter Nygard investigation

Skytrain bus? that’s unnecessarily confusing. Look how confused people are

Karen Ward advocates for drug police reform.

“Political priorities of top decision-makers were highlighted as the most influential political factor, though advocacy has been successful in bringing public health issues onto the political agenda.” well, shit.

"Thea Coburn is a classical violinist and operations manager with the Prince George Symphony Orchestra. "

American media’s cowardice no match for Canadian media’s incompetence

“Thirty-seven MEPs now sitting in the European Parliament were elected from parties identified as having used AI-generated or manipulated content during the campaign: 29 from Rassemblement National, eight from Lega and one from Reconquête.”

These are the journalists the US President is calling enemies of the people.

problems solved!!

before Canadians get all smug about this, read a few stories about the activities of your local police and read @youcaughtscott.com‘s thread. This is important and I’m going to go on about this globalnews.ca/video/115038...

Greta Thunberg has just been arrested under the Terrorism Act for holding a sign expressing support for Palestine Action prisoners. The arrest took place at the Prisoners for Palestine lock-on protest outside the offices of Aspen Insurance in central London. Aspen provides services to Elbit Systems

That’s a dog.

make them fight each other make them fight mess with their heads make them fight this is an effective strategy make them fight

“In an interview with CBC News before his carbon tax announcement, Eby said changing his position on issues like decriminalization and involuntary care shows he's listening to the public and receptive to different ideas.” September 15, 2024 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

OH

Everyone employed at CBS can resign and walk out rather than be degraded by this vacuous sycophant and start a worker-owned news service

“Tested the NDP coalition“ means “betrayed everyone who actually voted for them“

The BCNDP let him take the lead on the government’s response to the unregulated drug deaths emergency. They didn’t have to. It wasn’t inevitable. Each time they accepted what Rustad said as a reasonable perspective on public policy more human lives were traded for votes they would never get

when you allow people like Geoff Meggs to set the terms of the “safe supply debate“ its about issue management and public opinion pushback to things that never existed and NIGHTMARE PROSPECTS all to avoid the question that government must answer: Are people who use drugs people? Don’t debate this.

they're bringing drugs, those are gang members and murderers, fentanyl is flooding over the border, Canadian drug superlab, enough to kill 35 fucktillion people, fentanyl czar, more police watch this bsky.app/profile/sanh...

this would be unlawful, unacceptable and horrifying if they were "gang members" too

Trump says he can invoke the wartime Alien Enemies Act of 1798 because the nation is at “war” w/Venezuelan gangs. At yesterday’s House hearing on the newly published Annual Worldwide Threats Assessment, Rep. Castro asked a blunt question: Why is there no mention of it the official threat assessment?

This article explains how the enforcement of Canada’s drug law leads to an increasingly dangerous and volatile drug supply but somehow fails to connect that with the government’s obligation to uphold the rights of people who use drugs in Canada www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Municipal Politics update for Ladysmith, British Columbia: The mayor doesn't understand the intent and purpose of a land acknowledgement and has omitted saying that this land is unceded in such acknowledgments, and is fighting against correcting the correct to show that she didn't say such things.

"What the bureaucrat was suggesting... is that there would soon be so many people ...killed by AIDS that there would be a smaller number at risk of catching the virus. ...translate to a smaller number of deaths. “Bud lost his shit... he starts screaming. ‘Are you fucking serious?!’”

This is a stunning piece of work by Global Witness laying out how Musk's chatbot software actively helps spread climate denial and disinformation. globalwitness.org/en/campaigns...

there used to be a place like this in the downtown eastside. the funding was cut and it closed. dignity isn’t a line item on a budget; it’s beyond any price

if Health Canada renamed their Canadian Substance Use Survey (CSUS) reporting HOLD MY BEER, it would probably get more attention. www.canada.ca/en/health-ca...

The BC Greens reject any amendments to weaken the Declaration Act. The work of reconciliation is complex, but that is precisely why we cannot weaken the framework designed to make it real. #bcpoli #UNDRIP READ MORE: bcgreens.ca/bc-greens-re...

just steal a new printer

Look at this.

shame that bolivia just tried to do this for all of us and the WHO shut them down

I don’t think Canadian leaders should be engaging with a US government led by this person and the sycophants who have created an artificial world around him.

I doubt it was someONE because holding the report back all week would require several committee meetings of robust debate to decide that burying the report was the best way to prevent robust public discussion and hilarious zingers with memes about the Non-Democratic Party all week long

arent we all glad that jagmeet singh apologized to the colonizer for attending kendrick lamar's show

Looking forward to my copy arriving! Wrote the chapter on Vancouver with @bushfield.ca.

Canada's "brutal environment" for most people—precarity, inequality, and corporate rule—created by consecutive decades of shitty conservatives and neoliberalism, is the best possible incubator for a genuine 'left' party; so this is a goodbye flounce of an un-serious NDP #cdnpoli

Did we fail to offer a plan for a better future to the public by condescending to them with meaningless catchphrases? no way because we are perfect IT’S THE VOTERS WHO WERE WRONG the new leader has to clean house. Fire everyone. all the directors. everyone delusional. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
