I can afford private HC insurance, food, housing, and a car.
I can afford small luxuries.

I want my taxes spent to allow others, who are in much more dire situations, to have these as well.

We are a civil & caring society. We can afford to help.

Greed is the only reason others won't.

The decay of the internet follows the same pattern as any system where power piles up. When ownership is concentrated, accountability fades. Algorithms get the blame, but they only reflect the priorities of the people who control them. Power decides what we see and who benefits.

To Carney, "Elbows up" means buying American jets, building a pipeline to sell our oil to the US, joining a US missile defence system, opening our markets to more American dairy, and kissing the American president's ass at every opportunity.

This is what you voted for, is it?

I don't object to former Prime Minister Trudeau canoodling with pop star Katy Perry. I do object to him vacationing in the United States. Elbows up, Mr. Trudeau.

#Carney plans to use the proceeds of a massive austerity drive to create a highly interventionist state structure that will boost military spending and grease the wheels for exploitation and profit making.

I think the nurses’ unions are too strong so far. But they have other ways of forcing people out 🤷‍♀️

On this day in 1991 Anita Hill accused Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment. Few believed her claims then, not enough people believed Hillary Clinton in 2016 and too few listened to Kamala Harris in 2024. See a pattern? Believe women, burn the patriarchy.

I didn't realize that to do what Carney suggests and "save for a house in 4 years" I just needed to first become a CEO of a multi million dollar company, then get hired into the government to make 600k a year!

This is not acceptable. When he is making cuts to services at the same time he hands his friends jobs where they make a base salary of over half a million dollars a year. @mark-carney.bsky.social is already the worst PM since Harper.

It is deeply concerning that Washington is contemplating war with Venezuela despite the absence of any evidence linking its leader to the drug trade. Canada must take immediate steps to ensure that its technologies and policies do not make it complicit in another unlawful US military campaign.

Canada should seek central role for NORAD in Golden Dome or risk marginalization, MPs told Ottawa and Washington are still working out how such a defensive system would function within the existing bilateral structure

Mark Carney has chosen deeper integration with the United States. There can be no clearer sign than his decision to reject Canada’s longstanding anti-BMD position. Most worryingly, he is continuing to act as if a fascist US and Canada comprise a “we”.

Bruce Arthur: The B.C. ostrich affair is not about the birds This isn’t really about the ostriches, but rather it's about basic biosecurity in the age of viruses, and whether a government can make and enforce laws and policy.

“The real underlying issue is this anti-government belief that these public health orders are optional." That's why the far-right ecosystem is involved, to weaken government sovereignty - exactly the kind of thing that happened in the U.S.
-Dr. Angela Rasmussen U. of Sask
