Thank you Charlie Angus! #ElbowsUp 👍 www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfvR...

Spammers are flooding TikTok with pro-Conservative content A new investigation from @pivot.quebec finds that a small number of mostly pro-Conservative accounts are responsible for 15% of comments on election-related videos

Ah yes, the government asking Jews to register as Jewish, in the name of protecting the Jews. No way that could go wrong www.nytimes.com/2025/04/23/n...

I’m tired of pretending strategic voting is normal. Here are a half-dozen OTHER systems we could be using to stop this madness and finally let us vote for what we believe in, without handing power to the party we hate. #cdnpoli #canada #canadavotes www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnnT...

Friendly reminder: the best strategic vote is for a candidate who supports proportional representation. If enough are elected, we can change the system—and end strategic voting for good. #cdnpoli #Election2025

The “no consensus” excuse is getting old. EKOs polling shows Canadians support proportional representation. What we lack isn’t agreement—it’s political courage. #cdnpoli #Election2025 www.coastreporter.net/2025-canada-...

Education. Justice. Reproductive rights. LGBTQ+ freedoms. Truth. Pierre Poilievre has voted against them all—and now he wants to kill the CBC, one of the last platforms protecting these voices. We’re not going backward. Save the CBC. Save what matters. #SaveTheCBC #CdnPoli #NeverPoilievre

News Is Blocked on Meta’s Feeds in Canada. In its place, hyperpartisan and misleading content from popular right-wing pages such as Canada Proud is thriving on Facebook, by @matinastevis.bsky.social @stuartathompson.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/t... via @nytimes.com #cdnmedia #journalism

My choice for Pope:Cardinal Michael Czerny from Montreal. He was the Jesuit sent to El Salvador to face down death squads. He worked in Africa during AIDs. He was in Lebanon pushing for peace. He is a social justice warrior. And he married my wife and I. international.la-croix.com/opinions/we-...

Wow! 81,000 people experiencing homelessness? Housing policies in Canada need some attention, this is not acceptable.

and the community grows... #Canadasky #Canada #Resist

Pope Francis, who died Monday, had reiterated his call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza in an Easter Sunday message read aloud by an aide as the pontiff. In the message, the pontiff said the situation in Gaza was "dramatic and deplorable."

It makes me self-conscious to buy this beer. I’m glad it tastes good. (for anyone wondering, I don’t get paid, am just happy to support the nice folks at my local 🇨🇦 brewery)

Post-debate bounce for Singh NDP as clock ticks down for Poilievre. Progressive Vote Guide now marks 107 ridings either strategic or safe NDP vote. Tom Parkin Apr 21 9 more ridings for a strategic NDP vote Where Conservative took less than 50 per cent and NDP led Liberals by at least 10 points.

Canadian civil service needs a way to bring in outside experts, and pay them for their work. It desperately needs new ideas and capacity. But is suspicious of new ideas, and wants to hold experts at arms length, in voluntary, unpaid roles robsonj.substack.com/p/so-you-thi...

So helpful! #CanadaElection2025 www.progressivevote.ca

Feels like important context to remind people Ezra Levant has filled in as guest host on InfoWars when Alex Jones is away

Our podcast on the night of the English language debate. And the night that security had to sneak us out of a building our employer owns because alt media made it unsafe to leave like a normal person. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/p...

”According to ForCanada’s Third Party’s Interim Campaign Report, made available by Elections Canada, ForCanada has raised over $270,000 to date. They have paid over $150,000 to Rebel Media for services. Of that, $96,050 was for ‘consulting fees’.”

If you only watch one video today, let it be this one. Thank you, Charlene and LiUna 3000, for your powerful message to Canadians: “ We need to ensure that the Canada we know and love is the Canada that survives this election."

Just last year, the Liberals expanded a tax for the ultra-wealthy, admitting it was fundamental to a fairer society. Now, Mark Carney is reversing it — giving a tax break to millionaires. Where is the fairness in that?

Jagmeet Singh is holding his own in the leaders debate. Without building truly affordable public housing, all Poilievre did was throw gas on the fire.

Like many Canadians, I have been without a family doctor for years. Healthcare is fundamental to Canada's identity. We need leaders to keep defending it as fiercely as Jagmeet did tonight.

We’re almost through, and total abdication on any healthcare talk tonight from everyone, but Jagmeet Singh. We’ll keep fighting in the trenches, but damn, it would be great to have national leadership.

Late last year, @Harpers sent me to the West Bank to report on the state of the nonviolent resistance movement. Nothing I had seen over more than a decade of reporting there prepared me for the levels of fear and devastation I encountered. harpers.org/archive/2025...

"It was all a sideshow. Some of the questions were longer than the answers, as the Rebel staff used the opportunity to grandstand."

Gaza-based photojournalist Fatma Hassona was the main subject of the film "Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk." She was killed with her family this week in an Israeli airstrike, just a day after the film was selected to premiere at Cannes. Director Sepideh Farsi spoke with Democracy Now!

Pierre Poilievre says he's dedicated to "free speech" while the pseudo "news" groups- his cheerleaders-- attempt to shut down legitimate media. My latest substack -- Part 2. You don't need to subscribe to read. Why we need more news reporting open.substack.com/pub/caroloff...

Can we all please say now, unequivocally, that Ezra Levant and his gang of Rebel thugs are not, and have never been, “journalists”, and are nothing but muck rakers and provocateurs who exist to fuel the far right and profit from their hate mongering? Yes. Yes we can. #Debate2025

Can fundamental rights protect the #GreatLakes from threats on both sides of the border? U.S. president ‘Trump has unilateral power to terminate treaties’ regardless of what Canadians want. New from @readtheorchard.org: ricochet.media/climate/envi... #cdnpoli #treaties #Trump #water
