I am interested in justice, including health justice, science and nature (inc funny animal photos), well-designed cities, and technology, especially security. Viewpoints from outside CDA/US very welcome.
Ugh. This simplistic question is *not* what is on the table. So we have to go through another round of misinformation from the NDP? Please present real facts and focus on the bits that are truly concerning. youtu.be/NTz8q0rKGdI

As we see Harper show up on stages as a representative of Canadian interests I am reminded of this gem. I have never seen the animated version: youtu.be/873QiQiALDc There is no reason for him to be rehabilitated. He’s doing just fine with the likes of Orban and oil execs.

What an excellent analysis. It is about the BBC but I think it applies more broadly.
Alex Andreou@sturdyalex.bsky.social · 2d agoI would love to ask a prominent BBC journalist to give me an example of an illegitimate concern. Is seems to me that it has become a question not of fact, logic, or ethics but of volume. If a big enough proportion of a village was anxious about Bigfoot or Chemtrails, BBC would cover it in a way...
Watch this! It has far too few views. It’s part of a very long project out of Norway, highlighting the role that stereotypes and expectations reduce opportunity. @saih-org.bsky.social youtu.be/HpjbkQr0JAE The series is on YouTube.

At 3:43 Harper refers to Canada as reliant on the United States. Who is reliant on whom? And what did he and his party do to reduce that reliance while in office? They reinforced it, while doing everything they could to destabilize us as a society. Remember his promise. He is still working on it.

And now that you and your competitors have all agreed what the limit will be, you just divide the market among yourselves. If you do it right you also get non-US (ie Chinese) tech blocked. And you bribe Trump so he will work the Europeans with a rubber hose to adopt the same rules.
Everyone is (rightfully, probably) focused on Alberta's separation referendum question, but there are nine (!) other questions also being asked. This is an immensely helpful explainer on the first of the immigration questions. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Essential thread up and down. For me, this is the crux. Consulting Parliament is the very least aspect of ensuring that the government is acting in the interests and according to the desires of Canadians. Question Period needs to be brought back to its former utility and dignity, not avoided.
T. Ryan Gregory 🇨🇦@tryangregory.bsky.social · 6mo ago97. Do not avoid facing parliament. One of the advantages of a parliamentary democracy is that the Prime Minister must publicly answer questions from the full parliament on a regular basis. Do not behave like a US President who rarely has to address Congress. globalnews.ca/news/1175009...
that amount of money could have paid for - including items that people on both sides of the aisle care about. That would be a great pre-election public service, @nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com @npr.org. Title it "Where Did It All Go?"
And yet we dont have enough money to lift people who don’t have the option of being self-sustaining out of abject poverty? This boon is far too rich.

@mark-carney.bsky.social Why are you rehabilitating the man who did so much damage to Canada, getting us into the mess that we are now facing, who also meddles in the affairs of other countries, pushing them towards leaders such as Orban? Why? bsky.app/profile/phil...
Phillip Meintzer@phillipmeintzer.bsky.social · 5d agoThis makes total sense once you realize that every political party (and elected politician) in Canada is actually on the same team - putting corporate profits over the interests of ordinary working people. nationalpost.com/news/politic... #ABLeg #ABPoli #CDNPoli
