@newsagents.bsky.social Canadian here. Very proud of Trudeaus tough talk today! Although these tariffs make it clear why the Orange 🤡 is so determined to get a minerals deal with Ukraine. He knows 🇨🇦 will hit back & tariff uranium/nickel etc. Love the show! #OCanada #TrueNorthStrong&Free

@theresthistory.bsky.social is there an argument that the more brutal the colonial impact on an African country, the more likely it had greater problems post independence? DRC today is a boiling pot & Belgian Congo seems to be the most brutal of all the colonizations. A great but grim series.

#Emails2DOGE Things I did this week: 1. Laughed at America. 2. Gave thanks for not being American. 3. Watched Canada beat the US in hockey. Again. 4. Repeatedly shook my head at how so many Americans are complete idiots for falling for the lies. AGAIN. 5. Laughed some more.

American Democrats, It boggles my mind to see the amount of posts about #eggs. You know it’s because of Avian Flu. Eggs would still be this high if Harris was in the White House. Please get your shit together & focus on the real batshit crazy things orange man is at. Love, Canadian Democrat

Debunked: Elon Musk misleadingly suggests other celebrities made controversial 'Nazi' gesture jrnl.ie/6601591 The last line of this article is IMO, the #1 problem with what this 🤡 has done…..The total normalization of everything that gesture stands for. A despicable human being. #Musk

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Why the Tories & their client journalists are okay with backing Musk instead of condemning…A direct result of Jan 6th 2021 and the spinelessness (& opportunism) of the GOP leadership and US right-wing media. It’s result? They have 100% of power as of Jan 20th #UKpolitics #Musk

I don't understand the political timidity when it comes to regulating social media. These are companies that have decimated the free press, fuelled race riots on our streets, undermined the mental health of our children, paid little tax and are now undermining liberal democracy itself.

Twitter wasn’t built in a day. But now that there is a reasonable sized community here at BlueSky, the next step is to convince freelance and news media to report and post here. Preferably here first. -And also engage international communities and reporting here.

The US, UK, Germany. This is just the beginning of Musk’s foray into western politics and the push for the far-right. Forget Trump & MAGA. This fool is the biggest danger of our time. Since he bought Twitter he has become a true Bond villain and we all need to wake up. #Musk #elections #democracy

It’s truly heartwarming to see the MAGA implosion over Musk. It’s almost like they can’t possibly believe this is happening. 🤔 And we haven’t even gotten to inauguration day yet. What a clown show #Musk #Trump #MAGA #USA

For all the talk of Canada getting annexed, one thing we do share with our neighbours is an undemocratic FPTP system that gives one party disproportionate power while millions go unheard. It's time to lead North America democratically by adopting PR —where every vote counts.

Before they've even taken the reins of our government, President Elon is calling all the shots while VP Trump sits on the sidelines. And he's already running it into the ground. youtu.be/07KHdLsofbY?...

@therestispolitics.bsky.social can you get Clinton back on for a Northern Ireland special? He likes to talk and it seems he might like reliving that moment given such a positive outcome. Great listen. #leading

Ontario shows what happens when only 40% give politicians 100% of power—transparency and accountability suffer. Tell @ontliberal.bsky.social, @ontariondp.bsky.social, & @ontariogreens.bsky.social to prioritize proportional representation! Sign the petition now! secure.fairvote.ca/en/proportio...

Could Canada’s elections ever look like this? In Ireland, rival leaders cooperate and deliver progress—thanks to proportional representation. Read our latest post to see what Canada can learn from Ireland about how PR transforms democracy. www.fairvote.ca/06/12/2024/i...

In New Zealand, opposition parties have begun issuing joint press releases and holding policy meetings, as their proportional system means they will likely have to govern together if they win. Imagine if Canada had an electoral system that fostered this kind of cooperation.

You can’t find a more fair way of deciding an election than Irelands PR-STV voting system. A truly democratic and equitable way of voting. Countries with a FPTP voting system should take note. Nothing fair about that system. #Irishelection #prvoting @fairvotecanada.bsky.social
