NEW: 549 Palestinians now killed in the last 30 days. Itself shocking. But, EVERY SINGLE ONE WAS KILLED AT A FOOD AID STATION. A unique war crime. Firing squads using aid as bait. Palestinians in #Gaza face two choices: starve to death, or risk death to get food. 🧵

No houses, no healthcare, no education, just more vastly more weapons. Thanks Carney! #elbowsup www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

I'm starting to wish Poilievre won the election. At least then Liberals wouldn't lie to themselves and pretend everything Carney is doing is necessary and right. They'd be calling Poilievre out on this stuff.

Every morning, a new story about how many Palestinians were killed by Israeli troops while looking for food. But we’re supposed to believe Iran is the big bad.

Mark Carney was asked whether the US strikes on Iran were a violation of international law. In response, he ignored the substance of the question and listed off a bunch of grievances the West has with Iran. It’s a shameful and cowardly response from someone who claims to defend international law.

AISH folks got a letter stating they have to apply. They have to pay the dr fee. They will not reimburse it (I called for my stepson; they said no). My stepson on AISH who didn't understand any of this had to pay $150 to not get extra money. His specialist wasted 45 minutes doing this form.

It’s wild how a politician who blamed every AHS problem on too much management….. solves every problem at AHS by …… adding more management. #ableg www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

In the early 90s, almost all of the CPP was invested in Canada. When we financialized pensions, we defunded Canadian industry. I write about this in my latest book that Canada's media establishment has mostly ignored.

Seeing my prime minister shake hands with a man behind the murder of a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil turns my stomach. Mark Carney will talk about rule of law and human rights, but at the end of the day, it’s economy, economy, economy, no matter the cost.

Carney’s turning Canada into more of a mining company town than it already is and Trump’s still threatening annexation. Everything’s the worst.

I still don’t think that most Americans quite get it, that a lot of Canadians aren’t just traveling to America, the majority of us see Canadians that cross the border now as traitors. Traitors to our country, traitors to democracy. No amount of discounts or tourism ads will change that.

Reminder to Carney and his blinkered fans: Carbon capture will not solve climate change and it certainly won't let us safely burn more fossil fuels.

I dunno, I think employing children in G7 security as a cutesy stunt (alongside drone and RCMP helicopter surveillance) to make the G7 seem wholesome is at least adjacent or parallel to Hitler Youth shit. Nationalism is rotting people's brains in Canada right now.

Canada's parliament is comprised of 343 MPs and 105 Senators. By my count ~15 out of 448 (3%) have consistently spoke out against ethnic cleansing and genocide in Gaza. What is there to lose by speaking out? What are the costs of remaining silent?

Mark Carney invited Saudi Arabia to participate in the G7 in Canada. He can’t talk about defending human rights and democratic values while cozying up to the House of Saud.

we really can just decide, as a species, to do things differently. we really don't have to let a couple hundred people dictate how systems function. To abuse and exploit the other 9 billion. just a little bit more imagination in a lot more human beings would be such a game changer.

Most Albertans, including healthcare workers, will now have to pay to get a COVID vaccine. Danielle Smith promised Albertans would never have to pay out of pocket for the medical treatment they need. She lied. Such a cruel, dangerous, anti-science, anti-public health decision. Make it make sense.

Canada could spend $9B on education and culture and it would go way further in defending Canadian sovereignty than handing it over to arms dealers.

We HAVE to be able to acknowledge and analyze criticism of elected officials without just immediately resorting to saying, "Well they're better than [opponent who didn't win the election]." Cool! Very true! And luckily they didn't win, so let's focus on the people who did and how they can do better!
