Does "better public infrastructure" include high speed rail from QC to Montreal to Hull/Ottawa and to Toronto?

The USA is NOT a safe third country. It's not a safe country period these days, not even for Americans.

As many of you know, I’m a member of Canadian Journalists for Justice in Palestine.

We have a new call to action for the Canadian government.

To go with this call to action, I’ve got new details to share with you about Canada’s complicity in arming this genocide.

Please listen:

Every child, everywhere, should feel safe, should learn and grow.  And we owe Gaza’s children so much better than cycle after cycle of violence and grief. We must end this unbearable reality now.

BREAKING: Hamas says it has accepted a new ceasefire proposal.

The ball is now in Israel’s court.

This could stop the war for 60 days—and free hostages. Here's what we know 🧵

Building a Sovereign, Value-Added, and Sustainable Economy - CCPA U.S. President Donald Trump has confronted Canadians with unprecedented threats to our sovereignty and prosperity. From his inauguration speech, when he resuscitated the imperial doctrine of ‘Manifest...

To broaden the discourse over Canada's economic strategy under Trump, @policyalternatives.ca and Centre for Future Work have released a new 'Factbook'. See it at policyalternatives.ca/news-researc.... #canlab /4

Build a strong economy by *paying workers what they are owed.* That includes Air Canada flight attendants and it includes Canada Post workers.

But if you'd landed in Winnipeg, would there even be any trains at all, late or not? (But definitely late). Absolutely DeutscheBahn should do better but let's take a moment to be grateful for what they do at all.

Airdrops are the worst possible way to bring aid. Combined with your continued arms sales to Israel, it is very clear that you are not at all serious about stopping the genocide but in fact are happy to continue to be quietly complicit in it. You are operating counter to the will of Canadians.

The West changes its tune on Gaza just in time? Last week, consensus shifted within Canada’s opinion-makers (journalists, politicians, pundits).

From fighters to first responders Redirecting even a fraction of the F-35 budget toward humanitarian response wouldn’t weaken Canada’s defence, it would redefine and strengthen it for the threats we actually face. By shifting focus fr...

F-35s can’t rescue flood victims, deliver clean water, or evacuate a burning town. So why spend $74 billion on them? Canada has a chance to lead with purpose—by preparing for the disasters we already know are coming.

Gillingham has such thin skin of criticism at City Hall, confusing fully merited critique with breaking decorum. Fortunately, he can't stop letters from being printed in the FreeP -- and those get a whole lot more eyeballs than a city council meeting does.

Funny way to demonstrate your commitment by refusing to recognize one of the two states for decades.

Glad to hear the Canadian government will recognize Palestine as a state. Will it also commit to stop arming the genocide occurring against the Palestinian people today?

You've already failed by relentlessfully funnelling military equipment to Israel despite claiming to have an arms embargo in place.

Thank you for finally doing this but are all these conditions really necessary? For one, the hostages could have been released in October 2023, had Israel come to the table in good faith.

When you consider how heavily they've relied on "we believe in a two-state solution" as justification for doing absolutely nothing, it's just ludicrous they haven't acknowledged one of those two states yet.

I hope your vision of dignity for seniors includes being able to reach service providers by phone. Do not replace all public-facing customer-service-oriented public servants with AI chatbots.

Support a Global Plastics Treaty! Ask world leaders to support a strong global plastics treaty!

In a few days, the UN will meet to decide whether or not they turn off the plastic tap or let it flow.

@juliedabrusin.bsky.social and Canada must lead the way and secure a binding and ambitious #PlasticsTreaty.

Let's #BreakFreeFromPlastic NOW!

Mark Carney is going “elbows down” against Big Tech Canada’s AI agenda ignores potential harms in the hope of short-term economic gain

Mark Carney wants economic growth at any cost. To achieve it, he’s going after tech investment and pushing hard for AI adoption.

In the process, AI regulations are being thrown on the bonfire and tech harms are an afterthought. It’s a recipe for disaster.

It's worth than show because heavy pallets falling from the sky in a densely populated area pose real risk of injury or death to those on the ground.

What good is cutting taxes for the middle class if you are gutting the public service, removing thousands of households from the middle class by taking away their jobs? (And, less important, making every government interaction slower and more frustrating because there's no staff to handle requests.)

Does anyone call it that?? I thought it was U (of) Dub for short?

Minister Anand, you say Hamas must set down its arms but don't have the same stipulation for Israel, the party currently doing all the bombing, sniping & international law breaking. Why is that?

Sanctioning Two Israeli Ministers Is Not Enough—Canada Must Take Real Action By Tazeen Hasan Senior Researcher and Policy Analyst, Justice for All Canada Since October 7, Justice for All Canada has consistently called on the Canadian government to sanction Israeli ministers...

"This is not a bureaucratic oversight; rather, it is a deliberate political choice to avoid holding Israel accountable."

Haven't the negotiators been ready to release the hostages since October 2023, if only Israel would actually keep up their part of the bargain?

It's kind of baffling this is the last rather than first realm of transportation that's getting electrified when you consider the negative effects of tailpipe exhaust on tender, developing lungs of schoolchildren.

A) Do you part to end it by stop selling weapons to Israel now.
B) You can't have a two-state solution without two states. If you actually believe in a two-state solution, you must recognize Palestine now.
