WTF, antizionism being equated to antisemitism in Canada. How long until supporting Palestine is criminalized? "The drivers of this hatred — including antizionism — are well known, and the time to act is now. We need concrete actions to protect Canadian students." www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Since industrial logging began more than a century ago, most of Vancouver Island’s productive old-growth forests — those capable of growing the large trees characteristic of the island’s rainforests — have been cut. About 20 per cent of those forests remain.

B.C. is logging its last old growth and protesters are trying to stop it

Vancouver Island’s old growth rainforests are among the rarest ecosystems on Earth and protesters are trying to stop the logging there.

If you aren't afraid of Bill C-70, you should be. The Foreign Influence Transparency and Accountability Act is incredibly dangerous. I don't want dis-and-misinformation flooding in from outside Canada either but this kind of framework is how effective domestic political dissent is silenced.

Text-heavy graphic discussing how Bill C-70 grants the federal government options to build a registry of those who have "arrangements with foreign principals" and lets CSIS use "more investigative tools". "New offences" have been created and carry penalties of up to 5 years in prison.

When I decry unqualified folks calling themselves "independent journalists" or making political commentary channels, I get pushback. Today, one suggested Canada have a "ratting out" line so Canadians could report people they suspect of spreading disinformation online and colluding with the US. 1/3

This is for the people who keep saying we all need to keep supporting Carney as otherwise the conservatives will grab power. Too late. The CPC is cooked, no longer a threat under Poilievre because Carney is the preferred conservative leader among actual conservatives. www.cp24.com/news/canada/...

Carney has ‘no obvious challenger’ among Conservatives, new poll says

There is “no obvious challenger” among Conservative politicians in Canada to Prime Minister Mark Carney, according to a new Nanos Research poll commissioned by CTV News.

Focusing on the investor side of Trump's Truth Social scheme misses the larger picture; he makes global policy announcements there. By attaching an early access fee, domestic and international media, and governments, will have to pay for real time access. Subscription based economy nightmare.

A heat event begins in my city starting today and lasting until at least next week. The highest temp predicted for today, so far, is 35°C with humidex of 40°C. We had wildfires burning inside city limits - lots of treed hiking trail/undeveloped areas here - last week with local normal 20s temps.

I'm holding US and Canadian liberal slop 'independent journalists' (aka randos with a mic or ex politicos/news presenters) who gaslight older Canadians into thinking this man is a hero, and that these folks are fighting a war against Trump, partly responsible for Carney's continued support.

"In 2025 millions of Canadians rallied behind what they took to be a promise of renewed economic sovereignty and progressive nation-building. Over the past year, the government they elected has effectively delivered the exact opposite." #cdnpoli

If you see social media accounts or independent media channels boosting Carney, call them out. Don't let anti-climate bullshit slide by without confrontation. The LPC are remaking Canada into an outcast fossil fuel and minerals provider to the globe while others transition to renewables.

The Serfs (youtube.com/theserfstv)@theserfstv.bsky.social · 2d ago

Mark Carney has: -scrapped consumer carbon tax -scrapped oil/gas emissions cap -cut $1.3B from environment Canada -weakened industrial carbon pricing -axed 2 billion trees program -approved 1M barrels/day pipeline -weakened greenwashing laws While this is happening:

Five straight years warmer than anything observed before 2023 (Current record +1.53 degrees warming) en route to 2 degrees by 2030

For added context, the US ranked 19th. Carney and his allies are going to make Canada a hated country that supplies fossil fuel products to others so they can develop clean energy solutions while quietly buying our exports for needs like plastics. The world will finger-point at us as the bad guys.

Canada didn't make the Top 15 on the Energy Transition Index published by the World Economic Forum. We rank 32nd. "global energy transition progress has lost momentum ... because the (political) conditions sustaining it are eroding." i.e. Carney gov. in Canada centres.weforum.org/centre-for-e...

I'm convinced that many of the Carney Stan Libs aren't as afraid of Trump as they claim but instead are closet rightwing who didn't have the guts to openly support the CPC. Carey allows them to pretend they're centrist liberals as they call those to their left rightwing or disloyal to Canada.

Who stops immigrant family reunification? Carney does. Is there anything Carney does that deviates from what Harper would have done? Anything? www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

These are the cutest thing ever and my day is 100% better for having seen them. We have the most amazing planet with gifts like these little creatures everywhere. There's no profit or productivity goal more important than making sure we protect the home we share with them.

The Skeleton Panda Sea Squirt (Clavelina Ossipandae) is a translucent reef-dwelling creature whose rib-like structures and panda-like markings give it a spooky, animated look. Found in Southeast Asia, it harmlessly filters seawater and helps keep coral ecosystems healthy. Original post

Every international multisport event I discover one I didn't realize I loved. For the Paris Olympics, it was competition climbing. The Glasgow Commonwealth Games, it's weightlifting. I watched every session, men and women, starting with the para powerlifters and ending with the SHWs. I'm addicted.

Fuck you, Doug Ford for greenlighting Ontario Power Generation to do this and fuck you Mark Carney for not stepping in to stop it just as with healthcare privatization by provinces. "Experts say the shift reverses the founding logic in Canada's nuclear program." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

People ask me why I'm trying to leave Canada. My ancestor roots are in this land from before confederation. There's also an immigrant in there, and a relatively recent one - an Irish grandfather. I have work experience with Ireland. Options exist. But why leave? Canada is going rightwing. 1/3

CBC with not-so-subtle justification propaganda for the LPC rollbacks on food safety. Geographic proximity to the US means there's a giant whirlpool of lax regulation next door sucking away all attempts at EU style standards. Processing in the US is cheap b/c sketchy. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

There's an uptick in a counter-productive behaviour that repeatedly manifests in left-leaning circles - equating a disappointing or bad thing to a catastrophic thing. Carney criticism now attracts "Trudeau was the same!" comments. Outside manipulation or coming from inside the house? 1/4

I know few people care - most of Canada is either terrified to criticize our government or are oblivious to politics - but I want to know why we have money for pipelines, F-35s and Saudi trade deals but not the arts and elite sports. Carney cancelled a major funding source for CAN tv & film. 1/2

Charlie, attacking random folks this way is a bad look. Debate them honestly or ignore. I'm saying this as one who gets confrontational with my political allies when warranted. Supporting Carney's defense contracts with US MIC suppliers and their Canadian subsidiaries is not the hill to die on.

Charlie Angus@charlieangus104.bsky.social · 6d ago

Whenever they pull out the reactionary running dog language you know where the "debate" is going. I will file this one under Lol.

Yeah, folks without connections to the industry hit by this choice have no idea how much damage it will do. If Carney stood at a podium set up in a random factory somewhere in Alberta and ripped off a mask, revealing himself to be Harper or, fuck it, zombie Reagan, it would feel totally normal.

Cervantes Xavier 🇨🇦@cervantesx.bsky.social · last wk.

Mark Carney is quickly taking his place amongst the worst Prime Ministers in Canadian history. Thanks for putting a knife squarely in the back of my entire industry, @mark-carney.bsky.social. 90,000+ film and tv workers in BC will remember this next election. www.thewirereport.ca/2026/07/28/b...

Carney stans are operating in the same fear-motivated pack manner as maga. I partly blame influencer culture in political commentary and US-based independent political voices wading uninformed into Canadian politics, using Carney as their antiTrump, helped by fearmongering CA allies of said folks.

Michael Nabert@sustainablesong.bsky.social · 7d ago

Whenever I say that I don't want Mark Carney to harm the environment or attack human rights or kowtow to tech billionaires, a whole bunch of his supporters show up to 1. insult me, 2. accuse me of being a conservative supporter, and 3. nothing else. There is no third thing. 1/

On the left side of this graphic, the Conservative Party of Canada logo on a blue background. Text at the top reads "Poilievre voters:" Word bubbles emerging from the logo read "Anyone I dislike or who criticizes our policies is a stupid communist."

On the left side, we see the Liberal Party of Canada logo on a red background. Text at the top reads "Carney voters:" Word bubbles emerging from the logo read "Anyone I dislike or who criticizes our policies is a stupid Poilievre voter."

A black bar across the bottom of the graphic contains the words "Fun fact: Their policies are mostly the same."

Read the entire thread. Canadians need to understand what Carney is doing and what motivates him. At best, his business world tactic of meeting in the middle is dangerous. At worst, he's working in tandem with the same think tanks behind Trump and the Republican rightwing.

Michael Nabert@sustainablesong.bsky.social · last wk.

"Because Trump" or the more euphemistic "because the world has changed" is the favourite thought-terminating cliché of Carney supporters. Offer any evidence-based criticism of any Carney policy & you will hear that these unusually dangerous times require it. But he's making us *more* vulnerable. 🧵1/

An image of deplorable Canadian prime minister Mark Carney, with disheartening but all-too-sadly-true text: 

Mark Carney isn't protecting Canada from Donald Trump. He's making us more vulnerable to Trump. His policies increasingly emulate Trump's.
