Pour défendre vos intérêts, on a besoin d’envoyer des député·es qui ont du cœur au ventre à Ottawa.

Des néo-démocrates qui se battront pour réduire vos factures et arrêter les cadeaux aux ultra-riches. 🧡

Today, Poilievre announced that he’ll scrap the industrial carbon tax.

So, I thought I’d repost this gem where he responds to my question by saying that the industrial carbon tax “doesn’t exist.”

In case you needed a reminder that Pierre Poilievre straight up lies - just like Trump.

Excluding Karina Gould from Carney’s cabinet, the only Liberal Leadership candidate who truly spoke to the grassroots progressive values that led to Trudeau’s election in 2015, is… a mistake.
Trying to win conservative votes is what led to Kamala losing but 🤷🏻‍♀️ what do I know lol

Opinion: Why Canada should heed its Energy Minister’s call to calm down about oil pipelines Despite the security dangers posed by U.S. President Donald Trump, there is no way a new – or resurrected – pipeline project would be completed in less than five years

A weekend column from me, on why we shouldn’t obsess over a new oil pipeline, and instead focus on the the energy-related stuff Canada can actually get done to strengthen itself in the face of the Trump threat. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

Elon Musk’s Embrace of Far-Right Energizes Transatlantic Climate Denial In December, a Chicago-based organization called the Heartland Institute, which for decades has attempted to undermine the scientific consensus on climate change, devoted an episode of its daily podca...

Climate deniers used to mock Elon Musk as part of a billionaire "climate elite."

But now they're embracing him, according to a @desmog.bsky.social analysis of climate denier communications.

Says one leader: "We welcome Elon Musk into the climate red pill group."

A super scary response from Canadian politicians these days is instead of building up our energy independence from America by investing more in renewables, many (incl. Mark Carney!) are pushing more oil and gas exports to other countries as a solution. More fossil fuels are NEVER a climate solution!

Gaza belongs to Palestine — and no one else.

Trump's threats are utter madness. They violate every international law. Destabilize the region. Threaten the ceasefire.

Canada must stand up to this forcefully.

Gaza is not for sale, it belongs to Palestinians.

I applaud the PM for avoiding a trade war, but the tariff threat was never about fentanyl and the borde. Trump is telling Canadians what to do by holding our economy hostage. The goal post will be pushed back. He is a direct threat to our sovereignty. #canpoli
