This is delicious. Did the Edmonton Public School Board undermine Danielle Smith's bullshit with a bit of vicious compliance? Ha ha!

Carney's record so far?
- Capitulation on first big stand-off w/Trump
- Border bill with major rights & privacy issues
- A new law that spits on Indigenous rights
- Another bill giving political parties immunity from privacy rights
Poilievre would probably be doing worse, but that ain't saying much.

Because Drumpf used the excuse of our border to hit us with tariffs, Carney folded & hasn't stopped folding.

Maybe we'll get a trade/defence agreement out of it, with Drumpf's worthless signature. Why would we want the golden dome idiocy or trade with them?

C'est vrai..

Alberta announcing tax cuts is a death knell for our public institutions like education and healthcare - another blatant push to blow it all up in order to push for privatization. But most Albertans cannot link the two, unaware of division of powers. They'll still blame Trudeau.

There are already many airlines operating in Canada.

We don't need to get rid of Canadian ownership rules and sell our souls for momentary savings of pennies

The physicians are coming. Is Canada ready? US physicians are lining up to serve. Canada’s licensing logjam is holding them back.

Protest marks beginning of 'long hot summer' if Bill C-5 passes: Fiddler A protest on Parliament Hill will the first of many says the grand chief of Nishnawbe Aski Nation in response to Ottawa's Bill C-5.

A First Nation leader from northern Ontario had a warning for the federal government Tuesday at a protest over Bill 5, the federal government’s proposed national project-building legislation.

I heard it was Silksong.

In 'serious omission,' G7 leaders release wildfire charter with no mention of climate change The discussions that led to the statement’s specific wording were not public. But governments of most G7 nations recognize the role of human activity in climate change, as well as the role of climate ...

NEW: The Kananaskis Wildfire Charter is 536 words long. None of them are “climate change."

Realize there’s a lot going on but if bill C5 gets through intact, after all the inquiries and reports and apologies, Canada is just stomping on Indigenous people again in the name of keeping white people safe and there’s a name for that type of country.

This isn't Canada's Land ft. Karyn Pugliese (The North State Podcast) Governments downplay Indigenous nations' right to consent

This week on The North State, @karynpugliese.bsky.social joins me to parse out this multi-governmental push to disregard Indigenous consent in resource extraction. And, of course, we shit talk the news. #cdnpoli #cdnnews

Roger asked for self directed home care after government provided care put him in hospital

He asked HCW what their solution was. Their response?

“Roger this is not my show. I’ve told you my piece in this is to talk to you about assisted dying”

This was 2018 and Roger is still fighting for care

The second component of this bill, Carney says, enables the federal government to "identify and expedite nation-building projects."

Two very big, separate topics in one bill. Two massive pieces of legislation in one week.

This is gonna be a hard government to keep on top of (and hold accountable)

When you deal with high-tech mobsters, you get a high-tech protection racket. Hard pass.

#BREAKING: The Ontario NDP Caucus is filibustering in committee right now, fighting to stop Doug Ford’s Bill 5 power grab. We’re using every tool we’ve got — amendment by amendment, speaker by speaker — to fight this power grab and hold Ford to account. Watch live: www.ola.org/en/legislati...

“Only sick kids die from covid/measles”

“Only the vulnerable need to worry”

“Just stay home”

“Your health is not my responsibility”

“How many comorbids did they have?”

These statements feed directly into fascism & eugenics.

Don’t make it easier for them to eliminate us. We aren’t expendable.

Canada sees surge in temporary foreign workers applying to escape abusive employers Vulnerable Worker Open Work Permit lets those whose status in Canada is tied to a single employer to leave abusive jobs and apply for an open permit.

Good and bad news here. Good--more people reporting abusive workplaces. The abuse is not new, but more people reporting it. Bad--Canada's TFW program continues to be exploitative, precarious, abusive. We need more protections for people in this program incl. the freedom to seek other employment.

This is what the Maple MAGATS are like in Alberta. I am a red liberal in a blue province. I hope this person gets a visit from the RCMP. This while Dani Trump Smith and the #UCP. is trying to sell our hospitals to privatize them. Idiots.
