'Banker Daddy' is just like other tyrants we know, only cleverer and with a sunnier disposition. @mark-carney.bsky.social is very adept at using a wink and a smile to get what he and his rich friends want while screwing over the 99% now and for future generations.

And the pipeline? The gutting of social services? The investment in fossil fuels? Fucking CARBON CAPTURE?! (proven ineffective at scale) Yeah, we knew you were a Conservative in red clothing.

You can read @lukelebrun.ca’s thread for all the details but here’s the gist: if you want journalists in Canada to be able to report on documents leaked by whistleblowers, you want @pressprogress.ca to win this lawsuit. The best way to help is to support this fundraising campaign 👇🏻

Proven time and time again, carbon capture is not the answer. Many industries, incl. oil & gas continue to use/push it. This gives them tax credits & gov. subsidies ... all while making huge 💰 & ignoring the fact it doesn't work. @mark-carney.bsky.social please stop pretending this is a solution.

Disruptive innovation is a term popularised by the American academic Clayton Christensen. This is a prime example: learning effects lead to reduced cost of solar leading to more adoption resulting in more learning effects because of modularisation. Killer graph from @ember-energy.org

The richest 400 Americans gained enough new wealth in the past year to have provided every adult citizen with about $400 a month in universal basic income. That would cut poverty in half. We are making a choice as a society to give a small number of people essentially infinite access to resources.

In Canada we do not have the same "free speech" as they do in America. We have "freedom of expression" but it's rightly not absolute. Some Canadians would do well to remember this.

Draw the line. "We can still be the country that shows the world that disagreement does not have to mean destruction, that decency can be stronger than division, if we choose to."

"In unity with our kin across the Great Lakes, we the peoples of 🇨🇦 implore the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes & Energy (EGLE) & the Honourable Michigan Gov Gretchen Whitmer to deny permits to Enbridge & to not approve any building of the proposed Line 5 tunnel under the Great Lakes"

People want strong climate action. Unfortunately, because it has an immediate affect on their lives, people prioritise the general economy & the cost of living as their top concerns when asked. This gives politicians an excuse not to act or worse, actively fight against it. @mark-carney.bsky.social

It's very clear and simple, all over the world, time and time again, 'Basic Income pilot programs' prove that when people are given the ability to worry less about just surviving the day/week/month, they begin to thrive.

“The poor have no advocate because the poor can’t afford a lobbyist. The Statue of Liberty says: ‘give me your tired, poor’ — not your wealthy, your gifted, & your endowed.” Robin Williams was a GENERATIONAL talent

The only way to make housing truly affordable is to make it so that it's no longer an asset class. That's easier said than done, but taxing wealth, specifically taxing land value would do it, and balancing that with UBI so that people who own only one home and live in it aren't ruined by the change.

It’s simple "Don't be a dick" "History is best told as a story of organised crime...It is one group creating a monopoly on resources through the use of violence over a certain territory & population.” However, “They are cursed and this is because of inequality.”

"How a global collapse could be avoided: 'Don’t be a dick' is one of the solutions proposed, along with a move towards genuinely democratic societies and an end to inequality." Inequality is a great beast of an enemy. To solve it, we need UBI and wealth taxes, and we need more direct democracy.

30 years of global build, build, build hasn't worked. "The problem....always begs the question (to build) "w/ whose money?"...the rich own the resources that you need to build, why on 🌎 would they give those resources to you?" You can't compete w/ the rich. #taxwealthnotwork youtu.be/BTlUyS-T-_4?...

Billions upon billions in subsidies are given all while O&G is making our 🌎 more unliveable. Carbon cannot be "decarbonised", while "carbon capture" has "captured" 0.001% of emissions over 50 years & is used to pump more, previously unreachable, oil out of the ground. This is not the way forward.

"...poverty exists as a threat to get people to do things without their full consent....They look around and what do they see? Nothing but unemployed people. “Ahhh, there’s tens of millions of people in need of a job. What am I going to do? Say no?” Don't be a Dennis, support UBI.

The Great Depression was a crisis of mass poverty. The authoritarian moment we're in now is a decades-long crisis of mass insecurity and extreme inequality. The only way out of it is nothing less than a NEW New Deal that needs to include universal basic income, healthcare for all, and a wealth tax.

If possible, shop local. Farmers markets, co-ops, local grocers or delivery, like Odd Bunch. Loblaws profits are up (& I'm sure the other big chains as well) yet they still chose deceit because it's in their nature - growth at all costs & zero integrity. youtube.com/shorts/EBaas...

In terms of what we are able to actually explore, we know more about space than we do about the deep ocean. Deep sea mining will cause irreversible harm. It is absolutely reckless & definitely catastrophic for the lives that reside within it and potentially for humanity as a whole. Please sign ⬇️

"A thought experiment for you - if everyone received $1,000 a month in Universal Basic Income, would there be more partying? Sources say yes. A prosperous society parties more. A sad, lonely society parties less." blog.andrewyang.com/p/the-death-...

Just more reasons for universal basic income. First, no one should live in poverty. Second, creatives should have the space to exist within to create—without the constraints to create or starve. Third, creatives should have more power to decide the price of what they create, via the power to say NO.

MANS is an industry lobby group. It receives a subsidy from the Nova Scotia government (a subsidy for an industry lobby group? You’re kidding, right?) www.halifaxexaminer.ca/commentary/m... #nspoli #MANS #government_subsidy #industry_lobbyist

The ultra wealthy will say if they're taxed a bit more 4 UBI, no one will work. In reality, it would be a world where at the very least, no one has to forgo the basics of life. On the other end, many would just have less worry & be able to follow their passions or enjoy a simple day at a fair.

Petition to extend federal voting age to 16. "Youth feel disenfranchised from civic life despite being disproportionately impacted in areas of public health, climate & affordability – contributing to polarization & thereby, the destabilizing of our democracy." www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

AB oil was ⬆️ approx 50% since 2015, yet the avg Albertans standard of living is lower now than then.🇨🇦 subsidies O&G, yet they've pocketed $192B over the last 4 years after tax. Both parties enable this industry & its continual lies. Unless we force the truth & act accordingly, we'll be doomed.

Ont. is going full steam ahead with privatisation, regardless of the fact that it has been shown over & over again to be inferior to a properly funded public service. "Every service that has been cut has been privatized. It’s not a coincidence, it is the plan." www.stopforprofithealthcare.ca

Ontario’s at-risk species are under threat—and the fix is surprisingly affordable. 💔 WWF–Canada & UBC’s research shows restoring & protecting 75% of endangered species in Southern ON would cost just $113 million per year—the equivalent of $7 per person. That's 0.05% of the 2025‑26 provincial budget.

🇨🇦 has more billionaires per capita than 🇫🇷 or 🇬🇧. Only 1% of 🇨🇦 ians earn over $315,000 a year. 50% of 🇨🇦 ians earn under $50,000 (www150.statcan.gc.ca). If we implemented an exit tax, closed loopholes & taxed only the .1%, we could afford UBI, healthcare, edu. while protecting our 🌎 & its people.

Governments across 🇨🇦 think clean water for the First Nations will “undermine competitiveness, & delay project development" & want "ineffective & ideological fed policies ... replaced (sic) w/ common sense rules" The success of 🇨🇦 cannot continue to come at the expense of people & the environment.

Bill C-5 is not only an undemocratic power grab, it also disregards the environment while 🇨🇦 is literally on fire and it tramples the rights of indigenous people...all while having the gaul to use the same language they used to justify residential schools.

🇨🇦 wants to be an ‘energy superpower,’ but at what cost? Bill C-5 is sidestepping environmental laws to fast-track dirty energy projects. Our strength lies in #climate leadership, not in accelerating pollution. Take Action ⬇️ act.environmentaldefence.ca/page/173069/...
