"The current evidence does not support that the benefits of involuntary treatment outweigh the risks and costs.”

Imagine the western reaction if Iran had bombed a humanitarian aid ship trying to feed starving civilians. Imagine if Russian forces were caught massacring medical workers in ambulances. Imagine If China bombed an international humanitarian aid convoy in clearly marked vehicles.

Here's a good backgrounder on Australia's Ranked Choice Voting elections as you watch the results come in. fairvote.org/australian-e...

Israel is deliberately starving a people. The gangster world of Putin, Trump, Netanyahu is only possible because of the complicity of Germany, France, UK, Canada. A crime against humanity is still a crime against humanity even if western leaders ignore it. The world is watching.

“The government and AHS have now hired two national law firms (Bennett Jones and Fasken), with the associated expense to the taxpayer, compared to the resources of a single individual,” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...

The world watched Canada's election closely. We are on the front lines of the fight to defend the rule of law. Our nation needs to step up for the big picture and not squander this moment with squabbles and partisan turf wars. Here is my latest reflection. charlieangus.substack.com/p/forests-tr...

Last year, Pakistan installed an incredible 22GW of solar—more than Canada has ever built! Pakistan initially committed to slash emissions 20% by 2030. But in 2021, it upped that commitment to 50%, as it's a win-win: switching to clean energy addresses poverty too. Read more:

Important and thorough article. Great work as always from Michael Beer and the Energy Mix.

This is what a rigged economy looks like: In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker. In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker. This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker. That has got to change.

It's been 51 days since ANY humanitarian aid has entered Gaza. Israeli Minister of Defense Katz has said: "Israel’s policy is clear: no humanitarian aid will enter Gaza."   This is a war crime.   We must end our complicity. NO more military aid for Netanyahu's war machine.

Pope Francis moved last summer to make Vatican City the first nation to run entirely on solar energy. In his writing, he made it clear that the climate crisis was about power in all forms--and about human dignity. The world feels much poorer today billmckibben.substack.com/p/pope-franc...

The Green Party’s full 2025 platform is now online, written for those shut out, talked over, and left behind. If you didn’t hear yourself in that debate, read our platform. You’re in it. cdn.greenparty.ca/wp-content/u...

"The silence of many church leaders… is too loud.” Palestinian Christian pastor Munther Isaac says this is the second year in which Christians in the occupied West Bank “mark Easter in the shadow of the genocide unfolding in Gaza”. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/pr9u6l

In 2025 and beyond, being an energy superpower means diversifying our energy production beyond the volatile commodity markets of oil and gas. Committing to a nation-building project of an East-West electricity grid will strengthen our economic sovereignty and energy security.

Richard Ireland, Mayor of Jasper, is a good man with good sense. He’s free to express his views on the future of the country. This “Mullen Group” is free to spend their money and write their letters. But Jasper knows there’s a lot more dollars in taking care of nature than trashing it.

The Green Party has been stripped of its place in the national debates—after an organized political pressure campaign. This is democratic suppression—part of a growing pattern. Canadians deserve better. Speak out: [email protected]

Your Voice is at Risk Bill 50 continues the legacy of Bill 20 which harms our local democracy. I can’t cover all of the troubling changes in Bill 50 in one short video but this covers how it expands the harm from Bill 20. #yeg #yegcc #yyccc #ableg #abpoli

Like so many Canadians and people around the world, my heart is broken by the ongoing genocide in Palestine. Canada must stop all arms sales to Israel. Canada must sanction Netanyahu and his government. Canada must end its complicity in this genocide.

GLI works. It's time for real change. With proven results and the power to reduce poverty, the Green Party is ready to make it happen. Vote for it and let's build a Canada where everyone has the security to succeed #GLI #GreenParty

Sign up and join me. In these dark times, nobody should be compelled to play games (aka strategic voting) with their vote. Demand better. We need #PRNow

The divide between Alberta and Ottawa is worsened under first-past-the-post, which leaves hundreds of thousands of Albertan Liberals without a voice. Proportional representation would bring their voices into Parliament, fostering unity and fairness. #cdnpoli #elections2025

Who benefits most from proportional representation? Urban Conservatives and Prairie Liberals. We’re not as divided as we think—we just need a voting system that stops distorting our democracy. #Election2025 #cdnpoli

Hamdan Ballal must be freed NOW. Pass it on.

Building a fairer, greener Canada takes courage. The Green Party is prepared to lead with that courage, ensuring no one is left behind. Let’s make it happen 💚

Netanyahu has not allowed any aid into Gaza in 22 days. He broke the ceasefire, resuming a bombing campaign that has killed more than 50,000 people. Now he is threatening a long-term occupation of Gaza. NO MORE MILITARY AID TO NETANYAHU’S WAR MACHINE.

Proportional representation doesn’t just change how many seats a party wins, but where. Whether you're a Liberal in rural Alberta or a Conservative in downtown Toronto, you get the representation you vote for. That's why we love PR-it bridges our divides. #cdnpoli

“As much as my dad called himself a nationalist, he was also a fierce protector of Canada’s sovereignty — he dedicated his life to its defence.”

A powerful report from @mariambarghouti.bsky.social chronicling Israel's largest mass expulsion campaign in the West Bank since 1967.

Tomorrow at 8 PM! We start our deep dive on the dangers of the proposed coal mine in grassy mountain and the flinging open of the Eastern Slopes to more mines by the UCP! We’re kicking things off with a not-to-be missed conversation with Adam North Peigan! #abpoli #cdnpoli

UCP MLA Scott Sinclair, who criticized the UCP’s new budget as doing very little for rural Alberta has been kicked out of caucus and will now sit as an independent. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

aje.io/bcnxnf Israel has blocked all aid to Gaza and refused the second phase of the ceasefire deal, raising fears of ongoing genocide. Please continue to pressure them to accept the second phase to end this crisis. #FreePalestine #CeasefireNow #EndOccupation

Any agreement like this must result in the implementation of a proportional voting system!
