No Canadian, and especially no Canadian journalist who works for the national broadcaster, should be giving any breath to this discourse, except to vehemently reject it. Canada is a sovereign nation and any suggestion otherwise cannot be tolerated, lest it become normalized.

Elon Musk is a bandit. And Doug Ford just signed $100 million deal with him. Meanwhile he and Trump are trying to crush the people of Ukraine. Doug Ford says it's the "best bang for the buck." No Doug, this is what vichy collaborators do. Slava Ukraini

Donald Trump says Canada has no right to exist. I take the threat seriously. With our sovereignty on the table I support a national discussion on next steps. But CBC thinks it would be fun to have an American DJ co-host whether we should exist as a nation. Fuck that @ianhanomansing.bsky.social

Diversity. Equity. Inclusion. Core Canadian values that our Big Tech CEOs despise. They are leading the way in Trumpifying our country. And Pierre Poilievre is key to this project, it’s a bromance steeped in supremacy. thelogic.co/news/exclusi... #DEI #Canada #Vancouver #Cdnpoli #NDP

Elon Musk thinks he can threaten Canadian workers? Poilievre is a billionaire bootlicker who won’t stand up to him. I will. New Democrats will hit him hard with a 100% Tariff on Tesla – intended to hit him where it hurts.

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

Here's my latest reflection on a lesson I learned from a woman who was in the second tower on 9/11. When the world is turned upside down taking action is the only way to survive. Our democracy is under threat but politicians are still living in 2024. charlieangus.substack.com/p/no-return-...

It’s such a gift to be part of @avilewis.bsky.social’s eco-populist campaign for MP at a time when democracy itself is in great peril. The forces of greed and corruption thrive with us in isolation—community is how we fight back. 🧡

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.
