Let’s also not pretend that Canadian values didn’t included subordinate support of American imperialism especially in the Americas

The death of neoliberalism does not necessarily mean something better. Or something anti-capitalist.

Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Corina Machado says she presented her medal to Trump She did not answer reporters' questions as to whether he accepted it

If there is a single thing I’d like you to takeaway from @pressprogress.ca’s journalism, it is how many people in positions of power in Canada start making R2D2 short-circuiting noises when you ask them to elaborate on their statements

Rob Shaw: "Politicians who won't post on X anymore, but keep posting on the platforms that ban Canadian news organizations (Meta) and contribute to the country's disinformation problem, without doing anything about it. 👍"

Rob Shaw is nervous that if the politicians he writes about start fleeing the non-consensual sex image generation website he posts on, his account with 33,000 followers will be useless

Kinda incredible it was only four days ago that the US launched an unprovoked attack on another country, kidnapped its head of state and announced it was now “running” it and there have already been 2 or 3 other crises since then that have bumped it from the top of the news cycle

Robert Jago (@rjjago) Controversial Opinion: if you are naming something in the public realm in an Indigenous language, and that language doesn’t use the standard alphabet, it should come with a transliteration below it in...

We need to change the way we use Indigenous names for streets, towns, buildings, etc... substack.com/@rjjago/note...?

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries. 3 agents divvy up his already bought food—taking what they want for themselves. You think?

white state agents stealing from non-white people at gun point: America really is Great Again

Israeli occupation forces distributed warning leaflets in Tubas, in the northern occupied West Bank, this morning, threatening Palestinian residents that posting, sharing, or publishing online content critical of Israel would be treated as a terrorist offense, potentially resulting in arrest or imprisonment. The leaflets stated: "We are monitoring what you do online. Disseminating, writing, or publishing inciting content online is considered a terrorist crime in every sense and may lead to arrest or imprisonment, as has happened in this house. We have warned you."

"We’re monitoring what you do online. Disseminating, writing, or publishing inciting content online is considered a terrorist crime in every sense and may lead to arrest or imprisonment. We have warned you."

Israel warns Palestinians that posting about their suffering will be considered terrorism.

How many more statements of meaningless denunciation - empty of one single consequence for unrelenting genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity - must Palestinians endure Minister @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social?

They’re now calling this a K-shaped economy. Guess which part of the K most of us are?

Normal behaviour.

BC’s newest far-right party, OneBC, entangled in conflict after removal of leader The party’s implosion appears to have stemmed from the firing of a staffer accused of posting neo-Nazi propaganda

British Columbia's newest far-right party has become embroiled in conflict, after suddenly removing its leader.

OneBC’s implosion appears to stem from the firing of a staffer accused of posting neo-Nazi propaganda:

The BCOne collapse is basically this Community meme.

Or maybe it’s Casablanca, and BCOne leadership is shocked, shocked! To see anti-semitism sneak into their wholesome Injun hating genocide denialist group.

So Trump is asserting Reiner’s son murdered his father because he was angry about his father’s views on Trump?

And… He doesn’t actually condemn his supporters murdering their parents..?

It is, and I really mean this, indefensible for the University of Oklahoma to remain accredited as an institution of higher education.

In ‘conspiracy theory’ videos, prospective mom blamed Children’s Aid for boy’s sudden death, claimed she was being ‘persecuted’ “I know I didn’t do it," Becky Hamber told the camera in one of several videos she shot after her initial arrest.

The women who said they hated their Indigenous child, who didn’t take him to hospital when sick, who called him a douche, and who abused him to death now claim they’re being framed *because* he was Indigenous. Bitches.

What is the most toxic university for Indigenous students, staff, faculty in Canada? Carleton University is pretty high up there but manages to squeak out of accountability every time it’s scrutinized. Media should analyze faculty turnover, student complaints.

‘Say It Ain’t Divisive!’: How to Stifle the Work of Faculty Unions Nov 28, 2025 — by The Speech Axe Team in RSS Feeds By Honor Brabazon and Vincent Wong

Faculty unions should absolutely advocate for anti-racism and decolonization, including in Palestine.
