Politics feels corrupt because it is. Billionaire mega-donors aren’t just buying yachts and jets — they’re buying power, and they’re using that power to rig our political system. jamestalarico.com/issue/corrup...
As I received this news today here in British Columbia, the wildfire smoke blankets the sky, our eyes are burning and our kid is complaining of a sore throat from it. And we’re the lucky ones. 🧵 www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Mark Carney@mark-carney.bsky.social · yesterdayThousands of good jobs. Billions in new investment. A stronger, more resilient Canadian economy.
The “Riley Gaines” microphone case is priceless. It’s as if she’s some sort of actual reporter and not a cro-magnon dipshit who sits at home complaining about nonsense. Humiliating work. It’s hilarious watching all these sub-mediocre losers be raging narcissists. You are nothing, Riley.
Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social · yesterdayAbsolutely nobody knew who Riley Gaines was when she was swimming for Kentucky -- there wasn't a whole arena booing her at that time.
I know this is controversial in our modern times, but I think even people with pre-existing health conditions should not shit themselves to death because they ate a bagged salad.
You guys, nominating the person who earned the most votes is now an “ideological purity test.”
The WNBA has never had a trans woman play in the league’s 30-year history and now the right and other anti-trans activists are hammering the league over something that has never been an issue, proving once again it isn’t about protection but exhibiting cruelty toward trans people.
Spending a long weekend in a hospital with an elderly parent shows clearly the damage the Ford & Jones cuts have done to healthcare. This is not how we should be treating our loved ones.
For the record: NOPE. Honestly, I don’t think there’s an issue today I care about on a personal level more deeply than trans rights. And it’s rough out there right now. Bigots on one side of the political aisle and too many cowards on the other. ⬇️

💥 700 tons of explosives. Israel detonated 700 tons of explosives beneath Beaufort Castle in South Lebanon, in the middle of the night. A 900-year-old Crusader castle that UNESCO just listed as endangered heritage. @sarahabdallah.bsky.social
"Healthcare is provincial, not federal." 1. The Canada Health Act is federal law. 2. The Canada Health Transfer is the single largest transfer of federal funds to the provinces. 3. Health is a responsibility shared between federal and provincial jurisdictions. 🔗s below.
Constantly left astonished at Western reporting on people seeking asylum. 54 HUMAN BEINGS dead in an unbelievable tragedy at Ceuta and the media insist on leading with 'MIGRANT INVASION'. You inhumane bastards. What if they were your loved ones? When empathy gives way to hate, we're all doomed.
Don’t look now, but Gavin Newsom is siding with the tech billionaires again. The 2028 audition continues… www.wsj.com/business/med...
Remember, China EVs are not banned to protect Ford, GM and Chrysler. They’re banned to protect Tesla and Musk.
Weather forecasting is a good example of why @ntusikov.bsky.social argues that the US evisceration of its regulatory and scientific agencies means Canada needs more, not less, government to pick up the slack. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...
Whither the weather balloons? U.S. changes leave Canada with less notice of storms, experts say

The fact is Sophie Cunningham hates her coworkers, many of whom are queer Black women, some of whom have been subject to organized transphobic attacks in the past. She’s endangering them because she wants to. And she made a bet that due to their identities, nobody in sports media would defend them.
When NDP Climate Readiness Minister speaks against expanding fossil fuel infrastructure in the middle of a climate crisis and while BC burns it should alarm all of us that she is breaking with her govt's position. I applaud her bravery, WTF is wrong with the rest? vancouversun.com/news/bc-ndp-...

One point of maintaining a diplomatic corps — and not shredding it to give a billionaire’s 23-year-old acolytes some jollies — is having people able to say who “the right Iranian officials” are on the payroll, a call away.

Mark Kersten@markkersten.bsky.social · 6d agoCanada says that it supported the removal of now-former #ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan, but that it will not share whether it voted in favour to remove him at an extraordinary meeting of the Court's member-states last week. Other states have shared their vote. www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...
