The Community Wealth Building Bill passed yesterday with cross-party support 🎉 This is an exciting start to reshaping our economy to make it fairer for everybody.

Canadian senator Marty Kline--respected CEO, finance, hockey, gaming, media, Indigenous leader. “Automation and AI are reshaping our world… Canadians are asking for security, dignity and opportunity. A guaranteed livable income is one possible response, but not a simple one.”

I seems like I should be re-upping this one regularly.

the primary blocker to UBI is the puritan belief that humanity is so sinful and depraved that it should not be permitted personhood unless it becomes 'civilised' that's how liberal social policy ended up asserting that helping people would harm them but hurting people would help them

"...we can build a better way of life with greater security for all, while respecting ecological limits. But to do so, we must escape from the ideological indoctrination that holds such goals to be unattainable, and insists that extractive capitalism is the only path available to Canadians."

🚗⚡️"Not only will this answer the problem of affordability very directly, with more affordable Chinese EVs for sale, but it sends a strong market signal to other automakers: the Canadian market is now competitive, so price your cars accordingly," says @racheldoran.bsky.social. Our response👇 #cdnpoli

"It’s one thing to make compromises in times of national crisis. It’s another to twist the math on emissions"

"..the latest SMR campaign is not a revolution but a rerun (relapse?). It’s an expensive distraction from the real work of decarbonizing our energy system. The climate crisis demands solutions that are proven, scalable, and affordable—qualities that nuclear power, in any form, has never delivered."

Feels to me like this is the kind of relationship your good friends would tell you to leave, non? “....it’s really hard to be proud to support O&G when every time you turn around you feel like you're getting kicked by this very industry you fought so hard for.”

Canada’s anti-greenwashing rules protect our health, but they’re under threat. Send a message to Ottawa: don’t give fossil fuel companies the license to lie to us. Choose truth, health and transparency instead. cape.ca/action/prote...

"Private interference in a public healthcare system is a cancer that feeds on your complacency"

This agreement is a massive betrayal of Canada’s commitments on climate change and Indigenous rights. And we won’t stand by it. ADD YOUR NAME: act.gp/48x6Gy3

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

The top 1% capture more wealth than 99% of the world. A wealth tax on the richest 0.5% of Canadians would allow $30 billion in gains/yr, while supporting tax cuts to middle- and low-income workers and raising money for public goods. #NoMoreBillionaires #TaxTheRich act.gp/4qNIIXs

'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.
