The (MAGA owned) fossil fuel projects, Ministerial override of Parliament without oversight in C15, C2 mass cancellation of immigration documents, and more than a few other things. Pretending Carney isn't conservative is silly. The question is Harper conservative or Mulroney? So far Harper.

Comox Valley issues State of Local Emergency due to flooding, 1 person may be missing - BC | Globalnews.ca In a statement, the regional district says that residents are encouraged to follow the directions of emergency service personnel and obey all road and trail closures.

As climate change stories like this fall off the national news we lose reference points. 6 people died in BC related to atmospheric river events last year. Is this 2026's first? globalnews.ca/news/1164590...

Passing omnibus bills on closure Harper style isn't conservative enough for you? Really?

I just write to my Lib MP that becoming an I dependant now is the most meaningful way to get progressive action.

Maybe not the next one, but the one after that, assuming there is one.

We get a conservative govt either way so who cares?

Maybe, but he did cut yacht taxes and make refugees co-pay for healthcare in the same budget.

But with PP in place the other conservative, the Carney conservative, won handily. That makes Harper smile.

I'm worried about Carney's cuts to the federal civil service. According to @psac-afpc.bsky.social, out of almost 12,000 cuts so far, 895 are in Health Canada and another 178 in the Public Health Agency of Canada. psacunion.ca/wfa-tracker

INVESTIGATION: RCMP misled public about pepper spray incident at Fairy Creek The RCMP said they had to pepper spray a crowd to evacuate an injured officer. An exhaustive review of the available evidence shows that was not true.

I was reminded of this investigation I did with @ethancox.bsky.social and @brishti.bsky.social the other day, watching police indiscriminately attack protesters and then make up excuses after the fact. It happens here, too.

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable.

Biden himself said they were fabricated!

Stand up to Trump: End the Safe Third Country Agreement Sign the petition calling on Canada to end the Safe Third Country agreement, and reopen legal pathways for those who seek asylum at our borders.

This Agreement with the US prevents #refugees and undocumented people from seeking asylum in #Canada if they arrive via the US. But recent events show that Trump's America is not a “safe” country for anyone.

Let's end the Agreement. Pleased sign and share.

I have begged my Liberal MP (now Minister) for this for years now. Not only must we cancel the save third country agreement, we also need to set up priority for transgender Americans to move to Canada.

Her response was that she's always supported trans rights.

Sigh.

Canadians, we must demand Safe Third Country repeal now!

Your rights are only as secure as their rights.

No matter who you are.

No matter who they are.

Enjoy it while it lasts, no one is shocked by how old I am.
