TY 4 your work @loriidlout.bsky.social. Recently @alexboulerice.bsky.social expressed appreciation too. Sorry re: some @liberal.ca.web.brid.gy policies eg pushing mega projects despite #IndigenousRights, eco consequences or Bill C-9 criminalizing dissent. Sorry to see parliamentary diversity decline
Reich is right.

The good news is that if we lose in Iran and create horror across the region then Jesus comes back and fixes everything. Hegseth Doctrine.

When we call on CPPIB, BCI + other pension investment managers in 🇨🇦 to divest from Palantir, it‘s not just because of its awful use by ICE - it’s also because of its use by Israel, as detailed in July 2025 by the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in the Occupied Palestinian territories. 7/x
In the second half of 2025, one man accounted for almost 40% of all money donated to political parties in the UK: a crypto-billionaire who lives in Thailand.
Britain desperately needs to rewrite its party funding rules.

I'm grateful to @mrpeterjulian.bsky.social @matthewgreen.bsky.social & others for efforts to @reclaimndp.bsky.social. But the effort required is huge. Listen to Jasmine Peardon explain: www.instagram.com/p/DVi7u2rDklC/
Wow! I'm reminded of a story about when Enrique Penalosa became mayor of Bogota. He was coached to build bigger roads, created parks, car free days, etc. #Crime went down. #PoliticsofHappiness : )
WTF is @mark-carney.bsky.social thinking; backing the American & Israeli strikes against Iran? As much as the Iranian regime must be condemned for cracking down on recent protests, using military force to force regime change is never OK! #shame #cdnpoli #LPC #CPC #NDP www.thestar.com/politics/fed...
Interesting thread. And an important point, I think. Friends & I share #NonviolentCommunication teachings like this

Author Rivera Sun holds up her novel, River Dragon, against a background of painted blues. A quote from the book reads, "Each of us chooses whether we will push our future toward war ... or whether we will bend it toward peace."
These words from the Ari Ara Series keep running through my mind. In fact, the whole epic journey of this peace-waging fantasy series is echoing through me.

The new bill proposed by the Conservatives prohibits the government from requiring union employment standards for new construction projects, paving the way for untrained, unsafe, race-to-the-bottom standards — meaning worse wages for workers and rewarding dangerous labour practices. #bcpoli
Priorities.
I guess it's time for Trump to release those Epstein Files to distract from his disastrously failed Iran war.
“Social change will not come to us like an avalanche .... Social change will come through seeds growing in well prepared soil--and it is we, like the earthworms, who prepare the soil. We also seed thoughts & knowledge & concern.” - Ursula Franklin
Unending war (& lies to justify it. See: snyder.substack.com/p/why-attack...) are SO disheartening. So, on ConscienceCanada site www.consciencecanada.ca we're sharing #NonviolentCommunication & #Nonviolence Institute visions. Another world is possible!
Thx 4 sharing. I'm also aware of gross criminality of Iranian regime. BUT this illegal war undermines int'l law, will likely harden some Iranians' fear of change, strengthens #authoritarianism. Read what @timothysnyder.bsky.social wrote snyder.substack.com/p/why-attack... TY @wgreaves.bsky.social!
Alongside tax breaks to corporate landlords and private jet owners, Carney’s Liberals have repeatedly violated the constitutionally-protected right to strike when workers stood up for liveable wages and safe working conditions.
“The US stands with all of the children throughout the world,” Trump said…” calling for access to education.
This was just days after the US and Israel bombed a school killing 165 children.

#cbcnews The crises in #Cuba are a direct result of a blockade, without a #UNSC resolution - which is an illegal act of war - by a government that also has eyes on Canada. When you call it an "energy crisis" and not an energy blockade, you're varnishing the truth on behalf of #Trump. #cdnpoli
Good addition: Canada continues "to urge a diplomatic resolution to the situation in the interests of civilian lives." This didn't appear in yesterday's statement.
Still missing: any reference to international law.
All violations of the UN Charter must be called out. Not some of them. All of them.
