Yes, he's trampling on the Charter, steamrolling Indigenous rights, bending the knee to Trump, planning to cut public services, going backwards on climate, and signaling that we'd be dragged into war with Iran, but presumably it's still too soon to criticize Carney.

Canada: Health Canada won't fight Alberta's plan to charge for COVID vaccines. "Starting this fall, most of Alberta's 4.8 million residents will need to pay out of pocket for COVID vaccines, if they choose to get them" Cost per vaccine not stated; CDC estimates about $110 each. archive.md/SwnLd

There goes the theory that Carney’s just stringing Trump along to buy time. No matter what anyone says, these are *definitely* USMCA prenegotiations, since they’re covering the same ground. It’s concessions in advance, outside the existing treaty framework. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

As time grows short to debate the Liberal government's contentious Bill C-5, First Nations leaders tell AFN they have "substantive concerns." www.aptnnews.ca?p=272470

A First Nation leader from northern Ontario had a warning for the federal government Tuesday at a protest over Bill 5, the federal government’s proposed national project-building legislation.

Carney is far worse than I feared.

Would you be upset if the Conservatives sought to ram through sweeping legislation like this? At minimum, are you not concerned that the same powers will be in place if (when) the Conservatives are in power? www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RAt...

No amount of appeasement will work. Elbows up. Stop bending the knee.

JFC. This is just insane.

No amount of pandering or pipelining will ever appease folks who are this bass ackwards on climate. youtu.be/RaeIgsEnVA4?...

The Israeli army has killed over 100 Palestinians at the U.S.-run aid distribution centers in Gaza in under two weeks. By now, it follows a predictable script, either denying the massacre or claiming soldiers fired on “suspicious” individuals. mondoweiss.net/2025/06/ther...

Carney is already proving to be much worse than I feared.

Has anyone written about the intersection between Bill C-2 and Bill C-5? They are directly related but I haven't really seen anyone analyze that. Bill C-2 creates extra surveillance powers to further criminalize Indigenous people (and allies) resisting the "national interest" projects C-5 enables.

Antivaxxers own this. Infectious disease minimizers own this. Public health officials and media who keep promoting "immunity debt" own this. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

My latest in @edmontonjournal.com . The Journal of the American Medical Association recently advised Long COVID in kids may have now surpassed asthma as the leading paediatric chronic illness. Danielle Smith's response: start charging for and limiting vaccines. edmontonjournal.com/opinion/colu...

I have left my comments open for a while but I'm not seeing much in the way of angry rationalizations from Carney supporters these days. Have I managed to block them all? Or are they *gasp* engaging in critical thought? 🙈🙉🙊

“I think it’s because it doesn’t work particularly well, if you want the truth" Danielle Smith defends policy requiring Albertans to pay out of pocket for COVID vaccines after some shots go unused at taxpayer expense www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

“We are disassembling Gaza and leaving it as piles of rubble,” his Cabinet minister Bezalel Smotrich said in May. “And the world isn’t stopping us.”

Four days of solid propaganda and lies of omission from the so-called free press about Israel's attack on Iran. Documented here open.substack.com/pub/donotpan...

Reminder to Carney and his blinkered fans: Carbon capture will not solve climate change and it certainly won't let us safely burn *more* fossil fuels.

Russia was kicked out of the G8 in March 2014 exactly BECAUSE it launched its war in Ukraine by invading and forcibly annexing Crimea.

Vichy.

Which headline have you seen repeatedly? 1) "Virus that we thought was no big deal turns out to cause long-term health problems" 2) "Virus we thought caused long-term health problems turns out to be no big deal"

Exactly as expected. truthout.org/articles/und...

We're not getting out of the current mess without somehow removing people from the polluted information space. Too many of our leaders have lost any connection with reality.

I need folks to know that this isn't a real thing. Economic conservatism is fundamentally opposed to social liberalism. You can't reinforce capitalism and move wealth toward the wealthy while also pursuing social justice and equality
