The labor movement stands in solidarity with Kilmar Abrego Garcia and SMART Union for due process and the rule of law. Write your member of Congress and demand they bring our union brother home NOW!

Guy who doesn’t want journalists asking questions conveniently doesn’t have to answer questions.

Poilievre kept repeating talking points, saying “vote for change”. HE’S BEEN IN PARLIAMENT FOR 20 YEARS! He was part of the Harper gov’t in power for a decade with the worst economic record, worst jobs growth since WWII. The highest trade deficits in Canadian history! That’s not change! #Debate2025

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

"working poor" we seem to have normalized the term and the condition. It shouldn't be a thing. #Oxymoron #cdnpoli Canada needs a Guaranteed Basic Income. People have been struggling for far too long.

Andrew Coyne said this fiasco ends any suggestion that The Rebel and other far-right outlets are journalists. He called them thugs and bully boys who stake out an extreme far-right position and then accuse any legitimate journalist who challenges them of bias. All that is true.

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read. He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

Thank you to everyone watching this shitshow & giving real-time updates to those of us who didn’t have the stomach for poilievre tonight.

There’s more cases in Ontario.

🤦🏻‍♀️

Not sure what's going on here CBC just reported Ezra Levant and another journalist got into a shouting match backstage at the leaders debate and now Levant is claiming the Debates Commission is shutting down the entire post-debate media scrum altogether www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

How is it possible U.S. citizens are being held as illegal aliens in America even after they produce their birth certificate? This is intolerable. www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...

Because if anything is waste, fraud or abuse, it’s frickin food safety inspections. /s

Fucksakes

Chris Krebs is America’s next profile in courage. The entire nation should support this honorable and courageous fellow citizen.

After 21 years at my dream job, I’m very sad to announce my early retirement from the National Institutes of Health. My life’s work has been to scientifically study how our food environment affects what we eat, and how what we eat affects our physiology.

I’ll never understand it.

Trump has already said this is what he plans to do.

Everyone in Ontario knew the Therme/Ontario Place deal was shady from the start. Like not literally shady - they tore out all the trees. And gave away $1.5 billion of our dollars in corporate welfare. The people of Ontario lost a park visited by 2M people/yr based on a big lie from Therme.

This is from J. Harvie Wilkinson III, a Reagan appointee:

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism. It’s disgusting and dangerous. If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign. Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness. To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

When was the last time a party leader, running for prime minister, refused to allow reporters to travel with the campaign, or submit to in-depth interviews on policy?

Surprise surprise. Giving free rein to for-profit developers doesn't help the housing crisis. You lose irreplaceable green infrastructure in favour of developer-enriching sprawl. No surprise in a place where the government at every level is corrupted by developers. thelogic.co/news/the-big...

So Poillievre called the United Nations Relief & Works Agency (UNWRA) a "terrorist organization" at the debate last night? K. That's all I need to know. My father spent my childhood working for Peace. I hope Poillievre never has a day of it.

Love this new ad. “Are we coming together for a better Canada? Or is it everyone for themselves? #cdnpoli #MarkCarney www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYSp...

Surprising absolutely no one, Pierre Poilievre told the most lies at last night’s French-language leaders’ debate — by far.

The silence on climate this election has been deafening. Very glad @jvipondmd.bsky.social and I were able to get this piece published in the Edmonton Journal yesterday: edmontonjournal.com/opinion/colu...

My adult daughter Rachel works everyday, pays taxes, loves going to movies with her friends, and listens to awful (IMO) music. Our U.S. Dept HHS has lost all of its humanity, compassion, and intellectual curiosity

Calls political opponents juvenile names Brags about crowd sizes Marginalizes unsupportive media No real success in the private sector Sells merch to supporters Wants to cancel public broadcasting Exaggerates accomplishments Supports people who occupy nation's capital Detests social safety nets

“What they found is stunning,” Fraser began. “A company with one small spa, only a million dollars in equity …. yet somehow they convinced the premier that they had a global track record?”

Poilievre calls foreign aid “waste” and will target all programs, with audits first, wow wtf, he’s evil

Excellent. Here’s the habeas lawsuit filed in DC for all the men disappeared to CECOT we were waiting for.

As British soldiers were being evacuated from Dunkirk, the 1st Canadian Division was already in the UK as the only fully armed force to defend the shores. This photo of Canadians in the Battle of Britain is displayed across from our parliament. We fought fascism from day 1. Don't fuck with us.
