Canada “When Canadian mining companies are embroiled in a conflict with local communities outside of Peru, they often depend on henchmen or paramilitary forces to repress dissent. In Peru, companies benefit from state-sanctioned police protection and impunity.” www.readthemaple.com/mark-carney-...

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

People thought it was really bad that kids were out of school, and I agree, it was really bad. Any option for dealing with a pandemic is going to be really bad. What would have been almost infinitely worse is having tens of millions of kids across the country be COVID vectors.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

4 stories on wildfire evacuations in news section of Globe & Mail yesterday, then these 3 in business section on booming profits of oil/gas companies that cause the problem. Worse than failure to link those the news stories, Canada is increasing subsidies for oil/gas as the world burns. #cdnpoli

The right to strike is not an inconvenience, it's a cornerstone of our democracy. That's why the Liberal government must not use Section 107 to force flight attendants back to work, as it did with Air Canada workers last year.

Living in a world with drones is going to take a lot of adjusting. Historically, major changes in aviation take place only after crashes that kill a large number of people. But a sufficiently motivating catastrophe may not be far off. www.wired.com/story/a-civi...

"Counter-drone technology has to be surgical, not a sledgehammer, because the airspace we're trying to protect is the same airspace the economy runs on." - Kris Brost, general manager of Robin Radar System, a drone defense company

Charlie, this email from the NDP is very specifically taking aim at a Liberal government proposal that will increase Canada's level of military integration with the United States. Govt plans for increased military spending will do that too. What exactly do you take issue with here?

"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.

Palantir is absolutely the US war machine Charlie. Also, not a whole lot of the defense measures Carney is implementing are appropriate for a defense from the US, they are appropriate to fight along side the US against China or Russia. Carney is swindling us. I stand with Avi.

Not making enough at your job? Get a second job. Not making enough at 2 jobs? Get a third job. Not making enough at 3 jobs? Get a fourth job. Capitalism would rather you sell more of your labour before it pays you more for your labour.
