For those busy defending, explaining, parsing Carney’s statement that Canada supports US acting in Iran - claiming he didn’t mean military strikes, he meant something something else.
How do you think Trump and regime read it?

The BC Conservatives' assertion that they only voted yes to the Bill to repeal the Human Rights code so that it "could be heard and debated" is total bullshit.

Back in Oct 2025, they voted to not table this Bill to stop Land Acknowledgements.

Shoot. That should have been MLA. I have to remember not to get my knickers in a twist so late in the day.

If your BC MP voted in favour of tabling the bill to repeal the BC Human Rights Code, this is the level of response you should have.

Ashamed that my own MLA, Brennan Day, voted in favour of this Bill.

The Liberals lied when they said Canada didn't sell arms to Israel.

BC needs trust and stability.

David Eby wanting to amend #DRIPA erodes that trust. Sign the petition to tell the BC Government to uphold this legislation and properly implement it.

Poilievre is going to lose his job either before or immediately after the next general election, and will then quietly transition to a career writing angry editorials for the Fraser Institute which will be printed verbatim by the National Post.
He will then be the Conrad Black of the CPC.

Kashmir’s Lotus Stems Rise Again The return of the essential crop is preserving an age-old way of life as farmers learn to work with water rather than force it away.

As climate change hits northern India, Kashmiri farmers return to a traditional crop - often processed & sold by women.

Interesting to see how the BC Greens platformed a 4-day week in 2024 and got laughed at. Suddenly the G&M are all over it?

MP Johns advocates for salmon restoration funding in discussion with federal government
YouTube video by Gord Johns MP Johns advocates for salmon restoration funding in discussion with federal government

Uncertainty around the Salmon Allocation Policy has allowed misinformation to spread. Families will continue to fish, and salmon will remain a public resource. We deserve facts & transparency, not fear and confusion about something so vital to coastal communities. 2/3

The Increasing Attacks on Francesca Albanese Presage a New Dark Age Full Text:

I had no idea about the level of oppression that Francesca Albanese now faces. She can't get health insurance, can't use a credit car. It's abhorrent.

This is BAD.

Thank you @breachmedia.ca and @desmondcole.bsky.social for shinning a light on this.

Toronto Police corruption is only part of the problem. Our data privacy and its connection to surveillance capitalism and authoritarianism is very troubling.

Non existent south island, hopefully the freezing elevation drops some this week with the forecasted rain this week. The Chemainus & Cowichan watersheds desperately need some at the headwaters or summer will be difficult.

In the footsteps of Ontario’s early Black settlers Ken Johnston walked from Niagara Falls to Owen Sound, tracing the Underground Railroad forged by Harriet Tubman and Black freedom seekers

Moved by his ancestors, Ken Johnston walked 265 kilometres through southern Ontario, following the Underground Railroad path of early Black settlers.

I got to tangle with Moe Sihota on CBC's Early Edition this morning. Tell me what you think about the government (via Moe) pushing for even more expensive infrastructure in flood plains.
