Federal Court of Appeal upholds Ottawa's 2020 ban on 1,500+ assault-style firearms, dismissing claims it exceeds gov’t powers. Court says public safety outweighs sport/hunting use. halifax.citynews.ca/2025/04/15/f... #Canada #GunControl #PublicSafety #FirearmsBan #NovaScotia #HalifaxNews

Trump tariffs will send global trade into reverse this year, warns WTO

Remember: Using the Notwithstanding clause to pre-empt judicial oversight is constitutionally allowed BUT can be a step towards abuse of power. Put simply, anyone who is okay with someone else’s rights being infringed arbitrarily has to recognize that their own are also at risk. #canpoli #cadpoli

"What we heard today from Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre wasn’t just a campaign promise it was a warning. In a chilling declaration, he made it clear that he’s willing to override the Supreme Court, suspend Charter rights, and concentrate power in the hands of politicians." #neverCONServative

Canadians deserve to know what each party’s plans are when it comes to health care. The decision to leave it out of the Leaders’ debates is disappointing to say the least, especially when data shows that health care is one of the top issues for Canadians this election.

Liberal MP Tina Keeper (Churchill River), a former actress who played an aboriginal RCMP constable on CBC’s North of 60, said she was “dumbfounded” by his comments and the fact Harper had not asked him to resign. “He is a national embarrassment,” said Keeper. vm.tiktok.com/ZMBg7s8wj/

Once again, this is a *provincial* issue. The problem is the underfunding of provincial social safety nets. The federal government can't do much about that (especially when certain provinces claw back enriched federal benefits).

My government will rebuild and rearm our military to prepare Canada for an increasingly divided world. By boosting domestic production, using Canadian materials, and backing new Canadian technologies, we’ll get the job done.

CBC is a critical source of accurate reporting. It’s not a surprise that the Conservatives want to defund it and allow more hard right “news” into the market. This is how they will create an American-style climate favourable to Authoritarianism & Fascism. #VoteLiberal #VoteApril28 #cdnpoli #nspoli

Most people haven’t heard of this test, which is available in the US. It accurately predicts Alzheimer’s (not just if there’s a risk, but when). It is modulated by exercise and likely other lifestyle factors. Here’s (almost) everything we know about it erictopol.substack.com/p/the-breakt...

As I’ve been saying - the Shopify bunch and their Build Canada group want to control politics and #DOGE the federal government. That should scare everyone. They have no business around anything government. And government isn’t a business. #cdnpoli #Canada #CanadaSky

Great news!! Many of the world’s largest shipping nations decided on Friday to impose a minimum fee of $100 for every ton of greenhouse gases emitted by ships above certain thresholds, in what is effectively the first global tax on greenhouse gas emissions. /1 thread apnews.com/article/ship...

Reminder as we watch measles rates climb in Canada that *this* is Poilievre's attitude towards vaccination during a public health emergency. MMR vaccination has long been mandated for health care workers. Would a Poilievre govt ban the MMR mandate in health care during a huge measles outbreak?
