🧵 In Canada, migrants sustain our communities and most essential systems. And yet, they are being scapegoated for crises that are caused by corporate greed and government inaction. Let’s get into it. Full blog post with links and resources: leadnow.ca/migrant-just...

there's been a lot of talk about how we can retaliate against the US (counter-tariffs), and how we can boost business (interprovincial and other international trade), but i've scarcely seen any talk in media about how we would protect human people from the fallout www.thebind.ca/p/how-can-we...

King Brent always gets it right. #elbowsupcanada

Schooling Canada's MAGA MAPLE. Pierre Poilievre made his name beating down on a small town journalist while filling his face with an apple. He comes to Northern Ontario for rage rallies but won't go in the mines or mills to meet workers. I come from a mining town. www.youtube.com/shorts/Mf44P...

Great new piece here by @1alexhemingway.bsky.social of @bcpolicy.bsky.social, in defense of the BC deficit, but highlighting the need and room for raising new revenues: bcpolicy.ca/2025/03/06/b...

WATCH: If Pierre Poilievre gets his way, the CBC is gone. Help stop that—sign up at ProtectCBC.ca.

I've been down there, and after careful consideration, I don't think Poilievre could handle even that elevator ride down. He's not a strong man of courage and conviction.

Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid. I accept the consequences of my actions, but I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. #WeShallOvercome x.com/repalgreen/s...

We are the movement for climate justice. Stand with us! #ClimateWithoutBorders 350.org/climate-with...

The UK media are writing about the Canadian travel boycott to the United States. Trump continues to threaten and insult our nation. The boycott is our first trench line in what will be a long war against American tyranny. Keep the boycott strong. www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-...

Canadians across the country are rallying behind a petition to revoke Elon Musk's citizenship. He wasn't born in Canada. He represents profoundly anti-democratic values. In Canada citizens can present these petitions to Canada’s parliament. I support them. charlieangus.substack.com/p/musk-doesn...

Trudeau pitches high-speed rail, putting surprising new decarbonization options on the table www.nationalobserver.com/2025/02/20/n...

south korean politicians were literally scaling fences to protect their government and our senators are sending out pre-scheduled tweets about the super bowl while an unelected foreign billionaire seizes control of the treasury.

"An electrified future is affordable, reliable & the backbone of BC’s economy." Important reality-check here from Mark Zacharias. BC’s grid is well positioned for the demands of electrification. 👇 vancouversun.com/opinion/op-e...

In case it escaped your notice, Chrystia Freeland quietly loaned the Trans Mountain project $20b in public money before resigning in December. This is another hit in the barrage of lies and broken promises in the near-decade since the feds bought TMX 🧵

This week, I have been working on a story that gets behind some of the numbers of overdoses in Nanaimo. Last year saw a drop in the number of fatalities from unregulated drugs in Nanaimo and a corresponding drop in medical calls by first responders and emergency room hospital visits.

I went out to the picket line this week to learn more about why transit workers in the Cowichan Valley are on strike.

Please watch and share my statement on the 60th anniversary of the Maple Leaf. We no longer have neighbours we are facing a hostile regime. But we will defend our values of inclusion and democracy. We will never bend to kiss the ring of the gangster in Washington. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJEM...

Climate action might have had a tough couple of weeks at the federal level in the U.S., but the states are out here showing that there's plenty of work that can still get done.

What would it look like to have solidarity with people across the border? What are the actual ways that we as "Canadians" can build solidarity and power with "Americans"?

“This is not a small blow for climate research – it is a body blow.” I spoke to the @nationalobserver.com about Trump and Musk’s attacks on the NOAA. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/02/07/n...

Donald Trump says he loves Canada. That's why he wants to destroy our nation. In Canada our kids don't worry about being shot at school. Our families don't go bankrupt if they get sick. And Canada sure as shit doesn't let convicted perverts take over our government. What do you think? #strongasfuck

If this were Just Stop Oil, there'd have been dozens of arrests, furious denunciations in the billionaire press and, perhaps, long jail sentences. Farmers have a right to protest, and the police respect it. Other people, it seems, not so much. The real #TwoTierPolicing www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

La belle ville de Québec. La ville est magique en hiver. Quebec City is a magical place. Its people are so welcoming. But they do have basic standards.

🚨 Last week, Brazil’s president Lula has signaled that the government will soon give Petrobras the environmental license to drill oil at Foz do Amazonas (“mouth of the Amazon River”). The license has not been granted because the project simply does not meet the minimum safety requirements.

In this emergency, I think it likely that we are going to need to pitch a very big tent and invite everyone in who doesn't want to live in a dictatorship... www.meditationsinanemergency.com/big-tents-an...

Folks are shocked that their institutions, after professing commitments to climate justice and DEI, are now caving to Trump and scrubbing all references. It's brutal. And it's the smallest taste of what our students felt when their universities called in the cops b/c they protested a genocide.

In comparison to other regions of Canada, Quebecers remain one of the most progressive provinces on climate action, with a recent poll showing 83 per cent of Quebecers said they would like to see the next government do more about climate change. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/02/11/n...

Tell @metrovancouverorg.bsky.social: keep climate action in the budget! #bcpoli www.dogwoodbc.ca/petitions/st...

My new article just published with @wagingnv.bsky.social. I'm excited to share and amplify the powerful words of Nemonte Nenquimo from her memoir, We Will Be Jaguars. wagingnonviolence.org/2025/02/we-w...

Four years ago I was blabbering on to anyone who would listen about the rise of neofascism. I set up a mtg with my local mayors, MLA, & MP with a small group of kitchen table organizers. We were afraid for what we were seeing & no one else seemed to care. Well, I’m very sad that we were right.

The planet is on fire. Trump and Pierre Poilievre will burn the planet so that corporations can make even more profits. We are witnessing a dismal example of bumper sticker slogans when young people are looking to their leaders to step up. Please watch this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=faZ_...

There's such a tone of sadness to the CBC reporting right now. Adrienne Arsenault says, “I feel like the whole country, all of us, are getting both a history lesson and a politics lesson and an economics lesson and a lesson in heartache.”

My Mom is a miner's daughter. Her whole family fought Nazis. She was walking through the snow with her walker when a woman asked her,"Will we survive Trump?" "Of course we will," Mom replied. "I don't need asparagus. I'll eat root vegetables. We've done it before." That's Canada. #strongasfuck

The oligarchy is currently doing this.
