Should have used a Petro Canada image, as reminder of a time when its revenue went into the public purse, rather than the pockets of Suncor shareholders!

When Trump replaces Russian oil sanctions with Canadian sanctions, Carney's support will sound even dumber.

Agreed. At the same time, their abilities to turn massive profits 🀝 with the fossil fuel industry, while public/social infrastructure suffers austerity, needs to be addressed.

Just yesterday I was wondering if it would be revealed that ChatGPT or Claude ("the good AI") assisted in bombing that school full of children.
#HamOnt shouldn't have anything to do with this industry's data centres.

Doug Ford hates free public 3rd places! None more than ones containing books!
So this struggle to keep the main πŸ“š branch open, in Ontario's 5th largest city, is likely a feature, of his failure to fund housing and addiction supports. #HamOnt

That's one way to make it look like you're covering the NDP leadership race, without addressing their policy proposals.

β€œShaw Street was busy with bikes, but it wasn’t working for everyone.

When I explain to people how I rode with multiple Consulate Generals across Toronto on bikes, showed off all of our cycling infrastructure, but it was Shaw Street that they were most impressed with.

They asked, Why we don’t have streets like this ALL OVER TORONTO?

No surprise, given that cities like #HamOnt allocate 0.09% of their annual budget to emission reduction efforts and every year several suburban councillors try to axe that sliver from the budget.

This is called a "thaw circle". When the darker bark of the trees absorb the warmth of the sun, it causes the snow to melt faster around the tree.

There is much more snow in the forests, but in the open areas thaw circles are now appearing. As the snow melts, and the darker bark of the trees absorb the warmth of the sun, it causes the snow to melt faster around the tree. Eventually to the bare ground. #winter #snowmelt #canada #snow ❄️

Justin Ling: Trump is waging war on a stack of lies. Carney’s response shows he still has much to learn The U.S. case for war is built upon a stack of lies, and Ottawa has seen fit to rationalize every one of them.

This is an outstanding and rich review of the debacle unfolding in the Middle East, and why PM Carney needs to do much better. Thank you @justinling.ca πŸ™πŸΌ www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

The NDP has a rich history in Canadian politics. We were born out of a movement of farmers, trade unionists, and feminists in an era where fascism was rising and social solidarity was essential.

Today, we are releasing our plan to once again make the NDP the Political Instrument of the People.

Opinion | Politicians Are Trying to Control the News

The New York Times editorial on press freedom.

"The goal of leaders who try to muzzle the media is plain enough. They want to snuff out the truth and establish a monopoly on information. They want only news that flatters the government."
