Premier Wab Kinew vows to turn Manitoba into a ‘have’ province by 2040 The NDP government has launched an economic development strategy intended to boost Manitoba’s fortunes by making it a “have” province by 2040.

Manitoba's future rests upon building out the green economy based on comprehensive electrification and rapid development of renewables. Investing in fossil fuels - like pipelines to Churchill - will condemn Manitoba to being an economic backwater. #MbPoli

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Erasing history.

Renewables Are a Global Economic Engine, Not a Culture War Threat Energy companies are learning this lesson faster than Alberta Premier Danielle Smith.

Linda McQuaig: Postal banking once made Canada Post profitable — and could again Providing banking services to rural and low-income Canadians through post offices would be a Canada-first form of nation-building for the people.

Here’s something that could make Canada Post profitable — like it did before -- but instead Mark Carney wants to gut our national post office. That’s no way to build a nation. #canlab #cdnpoli #postal #canpoli www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Soybean Week Shines A Light On Minnesota's Farmers From September 29 To October 5 Minnesota's Governor Walz has declared Soybean Week as farmers face challenges from tariffs and lost exports to China, urging locals to support the backbone of our agricultural economy.

Minnesota’s soybean farmers produced a bumper crop this year, just to find out they have nowhere to sell their harvest thanks to Trump’s trade policies.

I’ll keep standing with our farmers
to advocate for an end to these reckless tariffs.

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

The American Regime in power now. Thanks Americans. Is evil, crazy and dangerous.

The very botched Comey indictment The case so far is so sloppy, it might never get to a jury.

Comey’s indictment exposes stunningly amateur missteps by Trump’s insurance-lawyer-turned-prosecutor. Barbara McQuade dissects the flaws and explains why the case is unlikely to reach trial.

Alberta to apply to Major Projects Office for new bitumen pipeline to northern B.C. coast | CBC News The Alberta government plans to develop and submit a formal application to the federal Major Projects Office for a new bitumen pipeline to the northwest coast of British Columbia.

This politician is a nation-breaker not a nation builder, proposing to ram a new oil pipeline through BC that British Columbians don't want; a pipeline doomed by economics to be a stranded asset before it's finished.
Smith is everything we don't need in a political leader.

@lindamcquaig.bsky.social has a new book coming out in January about the case for a wealth tax on billionaires could shift some of the pie back towards regular CDNs. See: www.dundurn.com/books_/t2211...

Linda McQuaig: There’s much talk about building a stronger Canada, but silence about the one strategy that actually worked If we’re truly interested in bold ideas, Canada should free ourselves from the notion that the only way to build a country is to cater to corporate titans.

It was public--not private--enterprise that built this country: CNR, Ontario Hydro, the crown corporation that led to the Avro Arrow. Too bad we've forgotten. #cdnpoli #canlab

Linda McQuaig: Public health care is a vital domestic industry and it’s beyond Trump’s reach. Strengthening it should be a priority The business crowd tends to portray our public health care and education systems as little more than costly drains on our public resources. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

Here's another great thing about public health care -- it's beyond the reach of Trump's tariffs. So let's stop underfunding it. #cdnpoli #onpoli #tariffwars www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Postal banking once made Canada Post profitable — and could again Canada Post discontinued postal banking nearly 60 years ago. Is it time for postal banking to make a comeback?

There is no place at our universities for this Trump-style violence against student protesters, who are committing no crime and are standing up for international law. #cndpoli #onpoli #topoli www.instagram.com/p/DOzEHEOkeeH/

Hey, thanks, Ron. Yes, the book (written with tax prof Neil Brooks) explains how a modest wealth tax on ultra-wealthy Canadians could raise billions a year, and make this a much more equal country. If billionaires chose to leave, they'd face a hefty exit tax. #canlab

Between Tranjan getting a piece in the Star and the recent editorial by @lindamcquaig.bsky.social about postal banking 💰 📮, I feel like I'm living in a bizarro world where good faith discourse on the public good is coming back.

Good morning 🥰🥰🥰

This is a reminder to those who may have forgotten:

You matter
You are stronger than you know
You’re needed
You’re wanted
Even when you feel down, there is someone who is grateful you’re around

You are not a burden 🥰🥰🥰

You. Are. Worth. It. 💯*💯%

ANALYSIS | Ottawa's Catholic school boards grow faster than expected — again | CBC News Ottawa's two Catholic school boards are among the fastest-growing boards in Ontario, and both have seen even more students in their classrooms this September than they expected.

Long past time to end all public funding for religious education, and unite Ontario’s public schools within a single secular system.

Kristi Noem's goons raided a car wash in August and shattered a guy's leg. They then held him in custody under 24/7 supervision in a California hospital, hiding him using various fake names. They interrogated him but did not charge him. It took a judge's order to make ICE let him go.

What?
