I mean, which is it? We're under attack from the US **and** we're going to work together more closely? 😆

As summer temperatures across Canada rise with climate change, many cities are considering the swimming potential of their lakes and rivers — and contending with contamination, infrastructure and squeamishness. thenarwhal.ca/swimmable-ci...

Fed up with your grinding commute? Cycling to work is an absolute joy, by @thekeenanwire.bsky.social www.thestar.com/opinion/star... via @thestar.com

Just yesterday, a new study was released showing that protected bike lanes attract 4.3 times as many riders, improve health and safety, and reduce fuel consumption. But no, we can't slow down drivers! lloydalter.substack.com/p/protected-...

Federal government to match Red Cross donations to help wildfire victims Saskatchewan and Manitoba will also match donations, minister says #Canada #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Sean Fraser 🇨🇦 "If you’re going to launch a political attack against a piece of legislation, you should probably read it first." #cdnpoli

Ford's latest assault on our democratic rights: No vote will be required at committee to pass Bill 5. If there is no Committee vote, "the Bill shall be DEEMED passed by the committee." Ford is passing legislation that assumes we have already voted in his favour. #onpoli

And now #Canadians, who #voted all across #Canada, did NOT elect #Poilievre. So why is he enjoying all those benefits simply as a Party leader~ not an MP. NOT OFFICIAL OPPOSITION. Vacate #Stornaway you grifter. #cdnpoli #NeverPoilievre

I have no problem with my tax dollars subsidizing Canada's news media, if it's Canadian-owned But I object to subsidizing majority American-owned news I don't want to silence anybody I just don't want my taxes paying for US propaganda @mark-carney.bsky.social #cdnpoli thehub.ca/2025/04/21/d...

As you may be aware, northern Saskatchewan and Manitoba are being evacuated because of wild fires. Latest is La Ronge. My rez, Beardy’s & Okemasis, under its RezCross has spots available. A Cree welcoming. If you care, or know folks seeking a place, do share! Our information…

Here's the moment MPP Sol Mamakwa for Kiiwetinoong was removed from the legislature. He was removed for saying the Premier is telling "untruths" about First Nations and Bill 5. "That is the truth,” he replied when he was asked to withdraw his comments. Bill 5 must be scrapped. #onpoli #bill5

His laptop with 4 years of cancer research was stolen. Now he wants the city to take theft more seriously #Canada The laptop was stolen from a car parked outside a south #London bowling alley in April www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Please listen to the UN General Secretary.

Just published in Vaccine. Further evidence that #vaccines saved lives during the #covid pandemic. "Vaccinating against COVID-19 reduced deaths by 54% among the Belgian population aged 65 years and older" pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40449280/

“The study… found the legacy of open-pit mining “can persist long after mining operations end,” resulting in devastating losses for fish containing some of the highest levels for selenium ever recorded in the province.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli thetyee.ca/News/2025/06...

PoiLIEvre is so screwed. He will be lucky if he manages to get a seat in this byelection. ❤️🍁🇨🇦TEAM CANADA FOREVER🇨🇦🍁❤️ ❤️🍁🇨🇦VIVE LE CANADA 🇨🇦🍁❤️ #canada #canadastrong #elbowsup #teamcanada #canadaunited #tariffs #tradewar #never51state #buycanadian #usa #neverpoili

Here's the moment it happened. MPP Mamakwa spoke the truth about Bill 5 and the government can't face the truth. Bill 5 must be scrapped.

A network of 'christian' pastors who get charity tax breaks while fomenting surrender to the U.S. Sedition should not be supported by our tax dollars. ALL religious charities should be cut off from public funding. their own members can support them fiscally. #cdnpoli #canada shorturl.at/9WCb5

Treaty rights are not red tape.

WATCH: This morning, I stood alongside Anishnabek Nation Regional Chief Scott McLeod, Dean Sayers, representing Robinson Huron Waawindamaagewin, OFL President Laura Walton, Sol Mamakwa, and Jamie West to speak out against Ford’s dangerous power grab: Bill 5. It's time to Scrap Bill 5.

Bill 5 would let Ford handpick which corporations get to ignore the rules. It guts species protections, sidesteps Indigenous rights + silences communities. This isn’t streamlining—it’s steamrolling. #onpoli

#Alberta needs to see a full public audit of all 27 #UCP government departments. We need transparency & answers to the cover-ups, cuts, conflict of interests & corruption. #FiretheUCP #CorruptCare #Ableg #Abpoli #Cdnpoli #ABResistance #UCPfail #ABHealth www.friendsofmedicare.org/ab_needs_ful...

We did get our Covid boosters today. #VaccinesWork 💉#MasksWork😷 (post below should have read *I'll* let...)

Cool beans in Switzerland! Solar panels between railroad tracks could provide up to 2% of the country's electricity needs! www.swissinfo.ch/eng/climate-...

Everyone deserves a safe, affordable place to call home. But under Danielle Smith and the UCP, that goal is slipping further out of reach: Alberta now has the worst housing affordability in the country. We can change that. 🔽 /1

Shameful. My colleague and our Deputy Leader Sol Mamakwa was removed from the legislature for speaking out against Bill 5. Make no mistake: Bill 5 must be scrapped. ➡️ OntarioNDP.ca/scrap-bill5

Fake coffee. Fake Canadian flag. Fake words. Fake human. The worst leader of any party in Canadian history.

“How do we know Ford’s not going to say we need condo towers on the Greenbelt or Cootes Paradise or biosphere at RBG? What’s to stop him putting ‘economic zones’ anywhere?” Former premier Kathleen Wynne joins me for robust discussion on #Bill5 #Onpoli and #Cndpoli ⚠️🇨🇦 🔗 youtu.be/etHpU9FTbKQ?si…

This is Canada. My friend had a weak spell biking in Tofino. We went to emergency saw a doctor, had an ECG, Blood Pressure, Ultra Sound of their heart, chest x-ray and about 30 minutes with a doctor. They have a heart condition but all is well. Cost to patient ZERO.

Northern Ontario First Nation leaders are vowing 'Idle No More 2.0' if Doug Ford moves ahead with Bill 5. "They’re just making things up on the fly... it's too late in the process to fix this." NEW from @jonthompson.bsky.social: ricochet.media/indigenous/i... #onpoli #indigenous #IdleNoMore

Robinson Huron First Nations will lead a demonstration at Queen's Park today to oppose Ontario's new mining and development legislation, Bill 5. Here's a short primer on why the bill is so controversial, what the PCs did to try to save face, why that didn't work, and who stands to lose.

The media have been complicit with the government in covering up the threat of the ongoing Covid pandemic and the risks to the public. If they’re recommending N95s, we should pay attention. They don’t suggest masks lightly.

Alberta's Premier Danielle Smith’s words unintentionally shine a spotlight on additional red flags and potential contract irregularities in the government’s for-profit surgical initiative. #graft #corruption #abpoli #bcpoli #cdnpoli www.healthcoalition.ca/attack-on-al...
