URGENT: Canadian physician @yipengge.bsky.social,who is marching to the Rafah crossing to break the siege, just told me he and many others — including Canadians — are being held up at a checkpoint between Egypt and Ismailia. Everyone’s passport has been taken and they aren’t being allowed to cross.

New Bill C-5 is sidestepping environmental laws to fast-track dirty energy projects. But burning #fossilfuels isn’t the answer. Tell #cdnpoli that our strength lies in #climate leadership, not in accelerating pollution.Take action ⤵️ act.environmentaldefence.ca/page/173069/...

Canada: Let's Build a Climate-Forward Nation!

Canada wants to become an ‘energy superpower,’ but at what cost? Tell the Carney government that our strength as a country lies in climate leadership, not in accelerating pollution.

@arnokopecky.bsky.social argues that Canada "laid down the first electoral bulwark against the far-right’s international advance" whose "purest embodiment is Donald Trump, a man so transparent he serves as a window into the far-right’s true, lawless nature". www.nationalobserver.com/2025/05/03/o...

Who will write the history of Pierre Poilievre’s loss?

The Conservative leader has made it clear now he intends to stay on, so the lessons he and his party settle on won’t just determine Poilievre’s political fate. With 8 million voters and a fanatically ...

I spent the month of April trying to decode the appeal of Pierre Poilievre to millions of Canadians. Followed his campaign from Nanaimo to Nova Scotia. Hit 10 rallies and 13 press conferences. Here, to borrow one of his lines, is what I'm bringing home. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/04/26/a...

True lies on the Poilievre campaign trail

I fell into conversation with a soft-spoken conservative influencer. She was telling me how bad crime has become. I nodded, somewhat skeptical, when two members of our group rushed in. “You guys!” the...

Fine. Liberals. But “after becoming prime minister…Carney showed he remained aligned with Canada’s tech industry. One of his first actions was to kill the increase to the capital gains inclusion rate.” Affecting just 0.13% of wealthiest! @parismarx.com open.substack.com/pub/parismar...

Canada’s tech executives aren’t scared of Mark Carney

They bet on the Conservatives, but the Liberals will give them much of what they want anyway

“Rebel is a conspiratorial partisan outlet that spreads misinformation and actively campaigns against candidates it doesn’t like. This isn’t journalism and it’s obscene that the Debate Commission let them on — and even more wild that it allowed so many of their faux-journalists to hijack…”

Fucking disgusting the leaders debate made Mark Carney take TWO questions (plus follow ups, so four) from dogshit grifters who were behind the article targeting HIS CHILD All bc they're too chickenshit to stand up to these asswipes that crawled out of their mom's basements for the night

A pallid gollum-looking motherfucker from "True North" aka Juno News aka he's the dude whose byline was on an article attacking Carney's kid

My last thought on this because I need some Offline Time: Because of their fear of being defined as "not neutral" or "biased," the bodies who label "journalists" and adjudicate access are increasingly complicit in the destruction of our information ecosystem. Meet the moment and grow a spine.

Rachel Gilmore@rachelgilmore.bsky.social · 2y ago

Literally like half of the questions are going to disinformation spewing grifter outlets who are using it as an opportunity to spew absolute bullshit under the guise of asking questions. Great work, leaders debate.

“If other democracies are falling into authoritarian reflex, Canada may be showing the world what it looks like to pause at the edge—and step back.”

Frank Graves notes that hope has replaced fear and anger in Canadians’ feelings toward the upcoming federal election. That’s new & hasn’t been on offer in Poilievre’s campaign. Vote for hope. #cdnpoli #NeverPoilievre macleans.ca/politics/how...
