The Carney government is also cutting prison librarians to save…$2.5m. This is now a theme with the federal budget - it’s not about cost savings, it’s about destroying access to knowledge and information. #Cdnhist
A premium example of what the United States does in the light Canada does in the dark
CTV News reporting that Canadian company Roshel is producing armoured vehicles for ICE
The fix was in from the beginning. You don't have construction timelines this tight to your decision point of you didn't know it was a sure thing.
"The Ontario Skills Development Fund— one of Ford’s signature programs and now perhaps the biggest scandal to hit his government since the Greenbelt — is rotten to the core."

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.
"Selling Out Is Bad" is a valuable concept and despite all the baggage and bullshit and elitism it could contain it's actually really good to reinforce the ideal that having integrity when it matters, especially when it hurts, is what good/cool people do. Should be adapted instead of jettisoned.
A meme from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. In the top panel, one man labeled "literally every company" hands a plate labeled "AI" to a man labeled "me." In the bottom panel, the man labeled "me" nonchalantly tosses the plate down the hallway, discarding it with casual disdain while the first man watches.
Time to post it again.
Wild how Ontario, Nova Scotia & Alberta think banning or ripping out bike lanes will reduce congestion. When you remove alternatives to driving, you don’t get fewer cars—you get only cars. Congestion doesn’t vanish, it multiplies. #bikelanes #cdnpoli
The Handala freedom flotilla is carrying onboard prosthetic limbs for the Palestinian children in Gaza. They were 3D-printed in Canada. Gaza has the highest number of child amputees per capita in the world because of Israel’s genocide.
"When Carney agrees to not charge taxes to the wealthiest tech companies on the planet, he is saying: here — Canadian taxes will subsidize your operations. Don’t worry about it. We don’t need your money to pay for our services. We don’t really need those services at all."
It is so fucking insane that it is essentially illegal, and wildly socially taboo in every corner of power in this country, to not want some random other country's army to be able to massacre civilians every single day for years.
hey man. i just wanted to let you know that i saw you wearing a "you don't mess with the zohran" shirt last week, and when i told my 75 year old grandmother about it later, she let out some of the most racist wails i've ever heard in my life. so if you could maybe apologize to her, and also the IDF,
the current administration is disappearing people left and right with zero accountability but this is what Dem party leaders are losing sleep over smfh - these fuckers should never know peace for the rest of their natural lives
It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this
New data shows the populations of BC, Ontario, and Quebec declined by 9,000 people in the first quarter of 2025 due to anti-immigrant policies. I'm assuming that means the homeless population has declined by 9,000 as well since housing is about "supply and demand" - right? Right?
people have already covered all the "yes, it was stupider than you could possibly imagine" so i want to bring up the fact that much of it was something of a looped, enhanced version of the stupidity that gripped America during Desert Storm. a true peek into the ongoing Robocop-ification of America
Hey remember when the Israeli military fired live rounds at international diplomats including Canadians and Carney did fuck all
Racist piece of shit.
It’s their land.
A major concern is what happens when these powers fall into the hands of overtly Xian nationalists like those PP would have in a Cabinet.
“‘Elbows up’ turned into stares of disbelief at measures posited by Carney’s Liberal government. It’s one of the most profound political reverses on the Canadian public, proving that while Carney charms us in front, he is stripping our rights behind our backs.”

The world isn't silent on Gaza - this is by far the most vocal I have seen the general public on a political issue in my lifetime. I have also never seen a bigger difference between the anger of the public and the inaction of specific institutions and governments. That's the crucial disconnect.
i think most white americans who have never been Policed don’t realize that you are always already a criminal.
the second anyone with institutional power believes you to be, needs you to be, or wants you to be a criminal you are and always have been.
The most striking thing about the LA protests is how many people just dropped everything to show up and yell at federal agents. There are people in suits, and carrying dogs, and wearing flip flops or bike helmets.
These are not people who planned to do this today. But there they are.
the fact most reports are leaving out that he was killed protecting his husband during a homophobic hate crime where his dead dog's skull was placed in their mailbox as a threat is leaving some important details out i think
loving these little lingering storms in the distance
Yesterday Minister of Defence David McGuinty at the CANSEC conference gave a message to arms dealers to "prepare for accelerated federal spending." This should absolutely alarm us all. What are we doing? www.cbc.ca/news/politic... 🧵
If all porn is made illegal, you can also make illegal the expression of any person you hate by defining them as obscene and pornographic.
"Existing while visibly trans" will be argued to be pornographic. Women dressing insufficiently modestly will be argued to be pornographic.
The Palestinian Movement didn't claim responsibility for this, but you gotta manufacture responsibility if you're going to create the conditions that justify cracking heads at future demonstrations.
Prostate cancer has a right to exist. Give the metastatic malignant tumor everything it needs to defend itself from unprovoked attacks by radical oncologists.
Ms. Rachel had the same arc as Ta Nehisi Coates where learning the basic facts of the situation made her go “this is unambiguously wrong” and it freaks out the credentialists who think serious people are supposed to say it’s complicated
