Carney responded to a request for comment.

Dear Canada: tomorrow is Election Day. This is Mark Carney. Hint, hint.

Poilievre followers remind me of Ford Pinto Owners. When asked how they liked their car they said great no one wanted to admit they bought a LEMON. Even though people were dying in them when they blew up. Well April 28th they will discover a Skippy Lemon.

Sit back turn up the volume and appreciate that you are a Canadian. DEAR CANADA player.vimeo.com/video/105661...

Analogies are never perfect, but this one is instructive. If you’ll indulge me: What would you call it if a German government ordered books from Jewish authors removed for being “subversive” and “anti-German” while having no problem with white supremacist literature? Because that’s what this is.

I’m saying this in my capacity as an author and once and future library worker: Read whatever the hell you want. I cannot impress enough on you that the “important” books aren’t important if you don’t jive with them. The popular books, the canon, the whatever. Read what you want.

NEW PAPER, JUST OUT! 👀 Insects from the '70s and '80s were already collecting microplastic, decades before the term microplastic even existed. 🤯 A thread on the surprising history of this pollutant and the incredible insect larvae that helped us uncover it. 🐛 Let's dive in! 🧵👇 1/x

Scientists love to debate and argue, but if there are 3 things every scientist absolutely agrees on, it's that: 1. Climate change is real 2. Vaccines work 3. Those are NOT dire wolves 😤 🧪

The Alberta NDP is calling for a pause to all privitization efforts in health care along with a boost surgeries in public hospitals. It also reiterates its request for a judicial inquiry into the ongoing health care scandal. #yeg #yyc #ableg

Canadians, now’s not the time to sit around with our thumbs up our butts. We’ve got some real issues with vaccine uptake and we cannot stand and gawk at what’s happening in the US without taking a hard look at ourselves: National flu shot, ‘23-‘24, for 18-64yo: 28% www.canada.ca/en/public-he...

If you have the capacity, it is time to start organizing and get out in the streets with a bunch of people, loudly, if at all possible. Make signs. Find an Indivisible. Get some friends to come with you. Don't worry about doing it perfectly. Just do it. It's that time.

Bernie Sanders: "We are living in an unprecedented moment in American history. We are looking at a rapid growth of oligarchy. We are looking at a rapid growth of authoritarianism. And I fear we're looking at a rapid growth of kleptocracy as well."

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

Naomi Beinart, 16: "We girls woke up to a country that would rather elect a man found liable for sexual abuse than a woman...Where the body I haven’t fully grown into may no longer be under my control. The boys, it seemed to me, just woke up on a Wednesday."

Here’s today’s #debunktionjunktion visiting the CRIN Pavilion, essentially à front for the Canadian aka Albertan oil and gas industry. Today I visited the propaganda event with Min. Of Environment Rebecca Shultz. 1/3´

During trump 1.0, we had to pull down all of the climate change pages off the EPA website. Start archiving shit now, document, backup, photograph, whatever you need to do.
