“Framing vegan versus carnivore diets as a ‘war’ may provide clicks and engagement, but it doesn’t help the majority of people who want stronger climate action.” Check out the latest #The89Percent Project story from @sentientmedia.org ⤵️

Public school boards are broke, just like all the hospitals and all the post-secondary institutions. This piece of shit is going to take over the boards, claim they are "unsustainable" and start closing schools. Private sector will get the real estate, as legislated. www.cp24.com/local/toront...

I understand the appeal and potential relevance of claims that Canadians are deeply divided after this election, but I'd like to see evidence that goes deeper than the fact that different people — and different groups of people — voted for different parties.

The thing that would wipe this nonsense off the map (besides ya know, smashing the patriarchy!) is intergenerational dialogue. I grew up in a home with 5 generations under one roof. I studied gerontology in grad school. The elders in my life gave me real talk about how it's all a trap.

For centuries, a “gossip” was a woman who attended another woman's delivery. The word was a corruption of “god-sib” or “god-sibling,” meaning “sister in the Lord.” The gossips offered support to mother and midwife. Only later did the term take on a derogatory meaning.

“Treaty rights are not subject to popular vote, and cannot be reinterpreted or overridden by provincial legislation. We unequivocally reject any legislative mechanism that attempts to do so.” The Blackfoot Confederacy is also condemning Bill 54. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Chief Justices school Doug Ford on Ontario’s legal system. “Judicial independence is a cornerstone of our constitutional democracy” "An independent judiciary protects the public, not just judges. It means a society governed by the rule of law.” #onpoli #ElbowsUp www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Doug Ford wants to elect judges—after a court blocked his bike lanes attacks. In first-past-the-post, courts are often the last defence against unaccountable majorities from just 40% of the vote. Proportional representation ends these distortions and protects our institutions. #onpoli

Alberta First Nations have issued a "cease and desist" order to Danielle Smith's attempt to break up our country. "If you or any Canadians are not happy living on treaty lands, they are free to seek citizenship elsewhere." Let Danielle Smith know what you think about breaking up the country.

Do you know that if Poilievre forces a by-election to regain his seat it is likely to cost Canadian tax payers between $980k-1.1M so he gets a second kick at the can? #cdnpoli

Poilievre wanted to send cops to disperse encampments and arrest anyone too poor to afford rent, but meanwhile he is perfectly content to squat in a publicly-funded mansion, even after he lost the election.

In @mark-carney.bsky.social’s first speech as a re-elected Prime Minister he said he would quickly identify mistakes and correct them. The removal of the WAGE Ministry and the appointment of @stevenguilbeault.bsky.social, a man, was a mistake. This is his first test. #cdnpoli

This idjiot, and I can say this, as a Torontonian, without reservation, is an incompetent twerp. Grandstanding MAGA waste of breath. Also a huge fan the NWC. Just like Trump only from Etobicoke Elected judges cause that’s a good idea 🤯 Cause the US Supreme Court is something Canadians want. 😂😂😂

A Liberal minority govt elected the best outcome we could get under first past the post but there will be many with anger and/or frustration by people seeing only 1 Green elected or losing their NDP MP or never seeing a Conservative elected in their riding. Push for electoral reform to change this

#Canada #elxn45 We have 40+ tossups and a dozen Liberal *leaning ridings going into election day. I cannot stress enough that we need to win a lot of those to secure the majority. Go vote.

I had to check if this was real. It is. We have a US president lobbying our annexation, who's threatened economic force to do so. Unprecedented. Today we're choosing who fights for this country. Who stands up for Canada & resists the right-wing populism that led our neighbour to this place. Vote.

"The fact that the U.S. federal government is squawking in one loud, highly irritating voice — in your name and mine, and doing so on our taxpayers’ dime — that it would like to obliterate the national sovereignty of our longtime friend and ally to the north is in and of itself a scandal."

This 338Canada chart maps the different poll results. The results are tight and within the margin of error as the last advertising blitz is underway. Don't assume your vote doesn't matter. Let's vote like our country depends on it. Every vote matters, every riding matters. 🇨🇦 #cdnpoli #canpoli

The fact that PoiLIEvre’s budget completely ignores healthcare should scare you. He opposes dental care and pharmacare—programs that help Canadians afford basic health needs like diabetes medication and birth control. Meanwhile, he meets regularly with billion dollar US private health care Execs.

“Pierre Poilievre’s costed platform relies heavily on delayed tax relief, speculative growth, one-time asset sales, and deep program cuts. It does not balance the budget, adds $100 billion in new debt and hinges on economic predictions that have no guaranteed outcomes” -Cole Bennet #cdnpoli
