Why don’t we put solar panels over highways? Imagine the 400 series highways through Toronto were covered in solar panels? Less snow to move in the winter. They’ll absorb heat in the summer and provide clean energy.

The Longest Ballot is pure democratic organizing and it’s honestly embarrassing how much Poilievre is complaining about them @longestballot.bsky.social

I watched the @netflix.com doc on the Vietnam War. I was about 3 episodes in before I realized that they weren’t going to talk about Agent Orange at all which is wiiiiild

Leafs fans booing the Leafs at home in Game 7. At some point, we need to blame the fans.

Unpopular Politico Opinion - but I think the @longestballot.bsky.social is brilliant organizing. They had 91 candidates and didn’t elect a spoof candidate and unseated the Leader of the Opposition who doesn’t support electoral reform (whose party ironically uses PR)

So did the election interference report get submitted yesterday? Do we get to see any of it? 👀

Still crunching the numbers for @mattrichergpo.bsky.social end of year fundraising but it’s looking like it’s going to be one for the record books 👀

what’s happening on twitter right now shows just how important it was for left of center people to leave it earlier these assholes need a target, and deprived of their preferred options they are ripping each other to shreds

Running campaigns is basically a teaching job. People who excel on campaigns are those who are ready to learn, fail and try again. Perfect is the enemy of the good. Curiosity and creativity are the good.

beginning to think at least part of this is the relentless credentialism of creative fields, ie “you have to already do this job to qualify for this job”; it incentivizes being proficient over being interesting or curious. it means being the safe pick, not the one who might push things fwd

It wasn’t until I hit the hashtag that I realized this wasn’t about Canadian politics #canpoli

JT flailing as he knows he’s losing his place on the show is so uncomfortable to watch #SouthernCharm

Whenever I’m travelling internationally, I like to casually speak French any chance I get so other people know I’m Canadian and not American.

Can I please, just once, go on vacation without some major Canadian political news dropping? #canpoli

I’m doing my part. We’re going to elect @mattrichergpo.bsky.social and relieve one of Ford’s cabinet ministers of a job.

Doug Ford has the lowest approval rating of CDN premiers. Just 34% of Ontarians think he’s doing a good job. It’s time for the other parties to work together to ensure the PCs get voted out of office when Doug calls an early election in 2025. Let’s make #DougFord a label salesman again. #OnPoli

If anyone asks me why I love data on my campaigns.

Hank Green@hankgreen.bsky.social · 2y ago

I love a good graph. Always send me good graphs if you see one.

I’ve lived off the farm almost as long as I lived on the farm. How is it that I am just now understanding how great work pants are?!?

I’ve run 4 campaigns in the last 3 years. Here’s the only thing I know for sure:

This past week was a busy one at Queen's Park. In addition to the scathing Auditor General's report, there were a number of important votes:

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

I am giving a commencement speech soon and I keep thinking that the only piece of advice I really want to give is “do things more.”

THIS!! In 2022, I ran probably Ontario biggest campaign in a safe conservative riding and we nearly beat them by talking to voters day in and day out. Most people had never had someone knock on their door before.

I’m gonna tell y’all a secret that isn’t really a secret, it’s just math: you can’t win statewide in red states without capturing at least part of the rural vote. That means Dems have to support down-ballot nominees and rural infrastructure. Come back. I’m here. I can help.

I love working on campaigns but the one downfall is that once you start it is basically impossible to just sit down and get a whole day of quiet work done. What I wouldn’t give to turn off my phone for a whole day and just get all my random thoughts and plans in order!

We are likely going to spend the next several months talking about potential corruption in the CPC. If progressives can learn one lesson from the US election it’s this: You can’t just tell the story of the corruption but also how that corruption will make life worse and more $ for Canadians.

I keep forgetting BlueSky doesn't have a quality filter there's just nicer people here.

It’s really odd that Poilievre spent the fall trying to get an early election called before the Election Interference commission was able to get some clarity on this. Definitely about the carbon tax that’s been around for 6 years and not this. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Can we stop making live action remakes of everything and start making muppet remakes of every film and musical

I’m a little sad! Tomorrow was supposed to be my first day on the ground with my new campaign, but the snow has pushed it back a few days. Hopefully on the ground by Wednesday when we get our office!

New here and finding it tough to find accounts. What are some of you your fav follows here?
