URGENT: Canadian physician @yipengge.bsky.social,who is marching to the Rafah crossing to break the siege, just told me he and many others — including Canadians — are being held up at a checkpoint between Egypt and Ismailia.
Everyone’s passport has been taken and they aren’t being allowed to cross.
New Bill C-5 is sidestepping environmental laws to fast-track dirty energy projects. But burning #fossilfuels isn’t the answer. Tell #cdnpoli that our strength lies in #climate leadership, not in accelerating pollution.Take action ⤵️ act.environmentaldefence.ca/page/173069/...
This is disaster capitalism! Kill Bill 5! podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/f...
Well-balanced, thoughtful, & reflective piece from @debthompsonphd.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...
Great series from @alexhim.bsky.social who says "we have organized ourselves in a way that makes crises more frequent and intense while undermining the collective tools we need to make things better. Neoliberal common sense has narrowed our window of possibility." open.substack.com/pub/engageme...
But, what if I don't want a "government run like a corporation"?! youtu.be/4LaZGpoJ5os?...
"The Conservatives are basically making an election rigging claim in their most recent fundraising email." @rachelgilmore.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/rachelgi...
@arnokopecky.bsky.social argues that Canada "laid down the first electoral bulwark against the far-right’s international advance" whose "purest embodiment is Donald Trump, a man so transparent he serves as a window into the far-right’s true, lawless nature". www.nationalobserver.com/2025/05/03/o...
Dire warning from @anntelnaes.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/anntelna...
I spent the month of April trying to decode the appeal of Pierre Poilievre to millions of Canadians.
Followed his campaign from Nanaimo to Nova Scotia. Hit 10 rallies and 13 press conferences.
Here, to borrow one of his lines, is what I'm bringing home.

Fine. Liberals. But “after becoming prime minister…Carney showed he remained aligned with Canada’s tech industry. One of his first actions was to kill the increase to the capital gains inclusion rate.” Affecting just 0.13% of wealthiest! @parismarx.com open.substack.com/pub/parismar...

Just read latest in @stephaniecarvin.bsky.social’s examination of national security in each party’s platform. Such helpful breakdowns! open.substack.com/pub/stephani...
Of course, I’ve considered this idea of the US government using an attack as an excuse, but I hadn’t thought of Canada being the scapegoat as @timothysnyder.bsky.social mentions. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...
Can’t believe Leaders’ Debates Commission silenced @jpedneault.bsky.social yet gave voice to far-right, disinformation platforms. Disgusting! www.greenparty.ca/en/our-plan
“Rebel is a conspiratorial partisan outlet that spreads misinformation and actively campaigns against candidates it doesn’t like. This isn’t journalism and it’s obscene that the Debate Commission let them on — and even more wild that it allowed so many of their faux-journalists to hijack…”
A pallid gollum-looking motherfucker from "True North" aka Juno News aka he's the dude whose byline was on an article attacking Carney's kid
Fucking disgusting the leaders debate made Mark Carney take TWO questions (plus follow ups, so four) from dogshit grifters who were behind the article targeting HIS CHILD
All bc they're too chickenshit to stand up to these asswipes that crawled out of their mom's basements for the night
My last thought on this because I need some Offline Time:
Because of their fear of being defined as "not neutral" or "biased," the bodies who label "journalists" and adjudicate access are increasingly complicit in the destruction of our information ecosystem.
Meet the moment and grow a spine.
So many questions! Late time change? Dropped Greens at last minute? All those crazy questions after the debate? What was the Debates Commission thinking? Let’s demand answers! #DebatsDesChefs www.debates-debats.ca/en/contact-us/
SCOOP: THE CANADIAN TIE TO TRUMP'S EL SALVADOR MASS DEPORTATIONS
As it turns out, someone with significant ties to Canada — to our biggest museum, our 150th anniversary celebration, and more — is a top dog at the company behind the El Salvador deportation planes.

@davidmoscrop.com’s succinct description of why debates feel like time we’ll never get back: “They force short, incomplete, answers to complex questions with little push back, fact check, or counterpoint from either the moderator or opposing candidates.” open.substack.com/pub/davidmos...
“If other democracies are falling into authoritarian reflex, Canada may be showing the world what it looks like to pause at the edge—and step back.”
“Politics is technology now. Silicon Valley is desperate to deny that, but it can’t and nor can we.” @carolecadwalla.bsky.social’s bravery is astounding! open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

Actually thought about watching @ctvyourmorning.bsky.social for @rachelgilmore.bsky.social’s fact-checking. Nice backbone there, CTV. pressprogress.ca/ctv-cancelle...
