Mark Carney wants the cops to be able to open your mail. He wants to share your data with American cops. Are you cool with that? Tell your MP. www.ourcommons.ca/members/en

Update from @yipengge.bsky.social on the whereabouts of the missing Canadian citizen Manuel Tapial, who was leading a delegation of the March to Gaza.

He disappeared after being dragged away from his hotel by Egyptian police.

Turns out he has now been deported, despite the march breaking no laws.

US grants asylum to 54 white Afrikaner South Africans, reports say Donald Trump has directed officials to grant refugee status to Afrikaners who he claims suffer discrimination

Though racist zealots will cheer this move, the sheer disgusting crudity of welcoming white #SouthAfrican 'victims,' even as the immigration raids and deportations unfold, must surely spur on efforts to challenge #Trump and his vile agenda.

What the media doesn't call foreign influence despite the directness of buying political support for genocide.

The farewell of the journalist Mohammed al-Bardawil, who was killed by the Israeli occupation along with his family yesterday night, raising the number of journalists killed by Israel since the beginning of the genocide in Gaza to 209.

Every tax cut is a wealth transfer from the public to the private and until journalists write about tax cuts like this, we will continue to beg to be owned by corporate Canada.

Stephen Maher: Canadian Conservatives are desperate for Donald Trump to come to their rescue Canadian Conservatives are desperately hoping Donald Trump will come to their rescue

Two Conservative insiders told @stephenmaher.bsky.social that Poilievre’s team discussed using Conservative candidate Jamil Jivani to send back channel messages to JD Vance requesting Donald Trump “distance himself from Poilievre”

'Torontonians should see this as a real threat. These machines are designed to target those who protest, including pro-Palestinian protesters. The idea is to weed those people out, to arrest them, and to punish them for protesting against genocide.'

The U.S. is cutting research funding, the weather service, park rangers, Social Security Admin staff, lifesaving foreign aid, plus billions in Medicaid and food stamps. For what? To potentially buy crypto with taxpayer dollars and to give more tax cuts to the rich.

Jeff Bezos will be censoring progressive opinions at the Washington Post. He says so himself today.

So ditch the Post and support independent journalism:

Pod Save America brought on Bill Maher to spew easily disproven anti-trans talking points.

They keep saying they’re not anti-trans and trying to walk back statements they make.

I have offered to go on their show to talk.

I’m offering again now.

Talk to a freaking trans person.

Everyone should be aware of the line that has been crossed in the Trump trans military EO.

No longer is this about "evidence," "science" or "protecting kids."

Now, explicitly, black and white, it's about trans people being "liars," "dishonorable," "false."

It's a big step towards very bad things.

Oh hey, I got onto the "trudeau isn't left" bandwagon for Truthout. I think you'll find this piece compelling and well-written.

The realities of class identity.

Toronto school boards are firing teachers who lie about sick days — and using private investigators to catch them Toronto school boards, struggling with skyrocketing costs of absenteeism, are turning to private investigators to help uncover sick leave abuse — and, in some cases, firing educators.

www.thestar.com/news/gta/tor... “If the (board) truly cared about the quality of student education and the welfare of school staff, it would focus on understanding and addressing why teachers are reporting higher levels of stress and burnout than ever”

This makes so much sense, especially when banks are pulling out of small towns.

First rural communities lost train service, then they lost intercity bus service, now some say they should lose postal service as well.
No private entity is going to replace any of these, so what they are saying lets abandon these communities altogether.

Every time Doug jams another one of his ever so amazing ideas down our throat I can't help but think of all the liberal half truths that brought us this wonder.

OMG. I've been here for 10 months and my wife, in one week, has way more followers then me... might help if I posted things.
