Wondering if @charlieangus104.bsky.social knows about this.

Or maybe @bonnieforontario.bsky.social has?

This is getting tiresome.

Doug Ford should be charged with undermining our sovereignty.

What kinda nonsense is this? Polls are snap shots of public opinion not capitulation. The Liberals have done a good job of that on their own. I’ll continue to fight for the working class values of Hamilton Centre. Feel free to join us. www.hamcentrendp.ca

Important article to share by @matthewgreen.bsky.social

This is a problem deeper than Trudeau

It goes to the core of the Liberal Party

We Can Defeat Poilievre’s Agenda: Here’s How Six steps we can take now to stop a destructive Conservative majority

"We need to present a vision: expanded healthcare, affordable housing, climate action, an end to migrant scapegoating, and a stronger stance against Israeli apartheid. People need to know their vote can make this more or less possible"

Defeating the forces of fascism requires that we destroy monopoly capital once & for all while creating forms of community that exist outside the bounds of consumerismβ€”ways of living & relating that almost no longer exist at all in our society.

Organize! Mobilize! Localize! – How Empowered Local Riding Associations Can Drive A Political Renewal Canada needs a political renewal. No – I don’t mean a new party in government, but that could help, if that new government were more aligned with people than just profit, power, or ego.…

Last blog post for 2024.πŸ₯‚

Today's rant is how empowering (and funding!) local riding associations can drive a left-wing political renewal in Canada. Time to modernize them, and turn them into grassroots movements on a local scale.

Organize! Mobilize! Localize!

Canada MP Goes NUCLEAR on Trump
YouTube video by MeidasTouch Canada MP Goes NUCLEAR on Trump

I was on @meidastouch.bsky.social today talking about Donald Trump's Christmas rage rant and what it means for undermining democracy around the world.
I called out his bullshit attacks on Canada and Putin-style tactics.
Meanwhile crickets from Canada's politicians.

As a former Councillor, MP @matthewgreen.bsky.social truly understands cities deliver results for Canadians. As more face an affordability & cost of living crisis - cities need a fairer and more equitable share of existing federal/provincial tax dollars. #FCM #MunicipalGrowthFramework

Not only did Canada Post illegally lay off striking workers, it also cut off the medical benefits for people like Marc Caron, who has cancer and now has to pay thousands of dollars for medication.

This is despicable.

Thoughts on being 62.
Cynicism is a cheap luxury none of us can afford.
Despair is where you go when you lose steam in the rage wars.
So disengage.
Our job as elders is to be there for the young.
To call out the motherfuckers of disinformation.
To build on the history of resistance.
To give hope.

Today, November 29, marks the UN International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, so I offer this House, and all Canadians committed to justice and peace, the following reflection: β€œEvery bombed village is my hometown”,
Stop the genocide.
Long live Palestine.
Long live Gaza.

Toronto Sun News headline that says "Conservatives won't support GST holiday legislation"

Toronto Sun News headline that says "Conservatives won't support GST holiday legislation"

Bootlicking for Billionaires.

When Conservatives scoff at working class Canadians – saying they’ll vote against a GST Tax Holiday.
,
Don't forget - they're the same ones who voted to slash corporate taxes for multi-billion-dollar corporations by 7% β€” costing Canadians $60 billion dollars.
