@pluralistic nails the Liberal Party and Mark Carney. Carney is setting Canada up to fall to fascism with his old, failed approaches. He and the Party are plutocrat-enablers, despite their BS about the working class (which is almost everyone who's not a plute).

"Austerity is how we lose the country. Austerity — more than any other force — drives working people into the arms of fascists"

The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that access to MAID, medical assistance in dying, is a constitutional right. Federal law has enshrined that right. Yet here in Alberta, Danielle Smitj has passed legislation that effectively annuls that right, and with very little public attention or push back. It’s outrageous. And I am outraged. https://albertaviews.ca/stealing-freedom-maid/ #ableg #abpoli #Alberta #cdnpoli #MAID

Palantir is deeply embedded in the scariest activities of the Trump regime – enabling everything from mass deportations and lawless assassinations in international waters to ethnic cleansing, genocide, and war crimes.

CEO Alex Karp’s recent online manifesto is a truly disturbing, supremacist screed. One UK MP said it “sounds like the ramblings of a supervillain.”

The city of London, England recently canceled a contract with Palantir.

Why is Canada handing nearly $50 million in public money to this creepy company?

Doing business through a secretive contract with this MAGA-aligned tech giant is totally incompatible with the Prime Minister’s promise to defend Canadian sovereignty.

Carney is incredibly polished and was for a while convincing. But it seems he's a hollow man, nothing inside. #cdnpoli

1. Massey Tunnel: Too automobile-focused but that damn tunnel is a menace in its current state.
2. Tanker ban: Yay, unambiguous good news, Danielle Smith can stuff her fantasy northern pipeline where the sun don't shine.
3. Roberts Bank: Neutral. Containers gonna flow, whatever happens.
4. LNG infrastructure improvements: Let’s pump more methane into the atmosphere, what were you saying about heat domes?

#ClimateChange #cdnpoli

Did you hear that Canada under Carney has abdicated its commitments to reducing carbon emissions? Carney has slow-walked us from an MOU with Alberta about an impossible pipeline to guaranteeing a pipeline expansion that will cost even more than the last

The State is hoping that we will simply get real mad, calm down, and wait 4+ years under its swindled majority administration. I don't intend to do that, and I'm interested in how many others here feel the same

#CDNPoli #Canada #Poll

Coherent argument that Carney might be making a smart move and that the pipeline project will be remembered as bad craziness that led nowhere.

PM Carney is once again supporting U.S. violence and impunity.

Canada can’t control Trump’s chaos. But we can take a clear stand for lives, livelihoods, international law and global stability.

New Democrats say: stop the war.

You gotta know that every journalist with any high-level access is frantically working their sources to dig out the true story of the trade talks collapse. Both sides are currently saying the other made unreasonable last-minute demands. MAGAtalk can be assumed false but still, everyone wants to hear the details.

The announcement of 50% tariffs on a range of Canadian goods is the latest economic grenade thrown over the border by an out of control President who has lost touch with reality.

It is a direct attack on Canadian workers and industries, putting thousands of jobs at risk. And it will drive up costs for American consumers, who like Canadian consumers, are already feeling pain at the pumps and supermarket checkouts because of Trump’s illegal war on Iran.

Donald Trump is trying a new, obscure legal basis for this latest attack. If these tariffs go ahead, we must be prepared to fight them with counter-tariffs and put every dollar behind supporting workers in affected sectors. The Carney government must refrain from more concessions.

We are tired of being treated as Trump’s tariff guinea pigs. New Democrats stand with workers, communities and all Canadians in defiance of this newest threat to our economy and sovereignty.

This contract is clearly designed to enable both Trump's mass deportation campaign, and his move to use ICE to manipulate the midterm elections.

But it’s also a reminder of how deeply entwined Canada's elites are with US corporate and government interests.

If the Carney government is serious about Canadian economic independence, it should move to block this contract immediately, with new legislation if necessary.

Collaboration between Canadian corporations and ICE should be illegal.

If you’re secretly approving a hyperscale data centre powered by fossil fuels in the middle of an agricultural disaster caused by climate pollution, then you should expect to be questioned.

Which probably explains why no one wanted to answer any of my questions. None of the provincial government ministers acknowledged my emails, Sturgeon County promised to get back to me but never did. Meta did not respond either.

Is everyone in denial?

Spain's Prime Minister says Spain doesn't, didn't, have wildfires "like Canada and Australia," and climate change is devastating.

"About 2,500 firefighters (including a Swiss team), 1,500 military personnel and about 1,200 police had been deployed to Gironde, Nuñez said, as he praised the contribution of 450 volunteers from civil security organisations.

He said another five municipalities had been evacuated overnight."

My 81-year-old mom, who's a widow and has no current photo ID was rejected today when we tried to get her a photo ID card. She's been living in Alberta since 1978 and has no current passport.

She had her birth certificate but because she changed her last name when she got married in 1964, they could not issue her an ID card without her marriage certificate.

We did not know where she may have stashed her marriage certificate since she moved into a senior's residence three years ago and had to downsize a lot of her things.

These new rules are going to disenfranchise a lot of people hoping to vote in the referendum. We need to get the word out. If you are contacting another province for birth or marriage certificates, that will take time.

Luckily for my mom, after searching through an old trunk with multiple albums and brown envelopes, we found the original marriage certificate. We'll be back at the registry in a couple of weeks to try and get that ID card.

This UCP government is pure evil.

Google has now renamed Lake Ontario for US users. They don’t even show the real name in brackets.

I used a VPN to compare: Apple hasn’t renamed it (at least not yet), nor has Dutch service Here WeGo or OpenStreetMap.

Yet another reason to ditch Google, and US tech more broadly.

1/ As I received this news today here in British Columbia, the wildfire smoke blankets the sky, our eyes are burning and our kid is complaining of a sore throat from it. And we’re the lucky ones. Over the weekend, more than 5,000 British Columbians had to flee their homes in 24 hours, under evacuation from just two of the approximately 130 wildfires currently engulfing the province.

❝ The best time to have made #Canada digitally sovereign would have been before an American president announced his intention to annex Canada and began explicitly deploying America's tech companies to attack his geopolitical adversaries.

The second-best time is now.

By repealing Bill C-11 and legalizing reverse-engineering and modification of digital technology […] Canada will gain a devastating counter to Trump's tariffs. ❞

Earlier this morning, I had an hour-long conversation with Prime Minister Carney, where I shared what it will take to Trump-proof our economy. We don't build an independent Canada by throwing billions of public dollars on sectors that are already disproportionately US-owned — like weapons, AI and fossil fuels.

This is a look-in-the-mirror moment for Canada. Let's make our country stronger, safer and more affordable for the 99%.
