Mark Carney, February 2026: "Let's build a more cooperative, resilient world together. Canada is ready."
Mark Carney, also February 2026: "Let's cut 15% of the department responsible for Canada’s environmental policies, including advisors to cooperation programs around the Arctic."
love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region
"This new guidance by the Scottish government highlights how much the gender critical use hyperbole, fear and a distortion of facts to terrify other parents into preventing their child from receiving the healthcare they need."

Personally, I'd have gone with the fact that "one in five (22%) also supported it for non-white citizens whose parents were born in the UK" for the headline. 😱
Labour are persecuting immigrants and feeding right wing narratives not because the working class want it but because
1) They have nothing else to offer a working class they intend to let down in every other way.
2) They genuinely struggle to battle with a far right that owns most media platforms.
Shabana Mahmood vows to stick with hardline migration policies after byelection defeat Home secretary will defy ‘plain wrong’ calls from unions and leftwing MPs that she is alienating Muslim voters
By taking a far-right approach to immigration policy, cracking down on rights and placing it high on the agenda, Labour has not just turned its own voters away
It has mainstreamed far-right politics and strengthened Reform, both politically and electorally
Them doubling down should be unforgivable
what a crazy night for sam altman to be like "yeah we got that dept of war deal, and there's no moral concerns here"
Remember that while this is happening, Canada is not stepping up, but rather is shifting to prioritize aid which economically benefits Canada.
(And yes, typing that fills me with a hot rage)
No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor
A worn box with a green printed label: "15 day course / VITA RADIUM SUPPOSITORIES / Guaranteed to contain Real Refined Radium and to be perfectly harmless. / The Home Products Co. Denver, Colorado."
A brown glass vial with a cork and a label that reads, "RADITHOR / CERTIFIED RADIOACTIVE WATER / Contains Radium and Mesothorium in a Triple Distilled Water"
Every time I see "AI" being crammed into another consumer product I think of how in the 50s we put radium in suppositories because "the atom" was the snakeoil hype of the moment
Archives matter - but not to the Carney government. Canada has only ONE federal funding program for community archives, and they just killed it. Gone.

That fucking guy is way past his best-before date.
What's that you say!
It was all just fear pushing by bad faith groups and that trans women pose no threat to cisgender women.

And they don't need recharging, and they're much, much harder to lose. Wins all round.
The idea among even centrist liberals that this tough moment is “the right time” to treat marginalized people even worse than we do already neatly underscores the callousness and inhumanity of the political and media class in this country.
Status for all. Full rights for all.
I want to read this, but my gasp of monetary policy is pretty tenuous and it's too Friday for macroeconomics.
Saving for later.
Yes, it does.
Also, funny that buddy looks at the world right now and says, "I think we need a bank."
I'm not saying it's a stupid idea. I'm just saying, of course this dude wants a bank.
And the "multipliers" are all... addition?
Shame on Hootsuite for abandoning Canadian values in taking ICE contract
Canadian companies can win the trade wars by being essential to the U.S. government
Having a little trouble reconciling these two articles published in the Globe and Mail on the same day.
I know we're all seeing 87 unhinged things per day, but "guys if our multi billion dollar product doesn't start being useful for something, literally anything, the people might not appreciate us wrecking the planet over it anymore" is a truly bananapants thing to say out loud
Generative AI is a machine built to destroy knowledge: «The latest model of ChatGPT has begun to cite Elon Musk’s Grokipedia as a source on a wide range of queries, including on Iranian conglomerates and Holocaust deniers, raising concerns about misinformation on the platform.»
Toad sleeps in Frog's bed. From "The Story" In *Frog and Toad Are Friends*
But Toad did not answer. He had fallen asleep.
i really appreciate this "yes, and" of the big Davos speech everyone's talking about. ily Canadian Dimension <3
Whoa, I saw this in 1989 or so & then totally forgot about it. Time for a rewatch.
After years of experience, I've started skipping "tell everyone"
BBC report at a headline level that Grok will now not make sexually exploitative images any more. An actual reporter comes on and explains that it will do no such thing, and will just make the images invisible in the UK. These are two very, very different things.
📌 Any migrants or others affected by Labour's immigration proposals, please take a few minutes to respond to the Home Office consultation with your honest thoughts. I will provide some pointers on how to interpret deceptively worded questions in this thread soon 🧵
Sometimes I think the most fundamental political difference might be between those who identify with power, who admire power and enjoy others living in fear of it, and those who identify with the powerless and long for a world in which nobody has to fear power
