The CSRA has always been proud of our members in the LGBTQ community, and we were exceptionally happy to be present at Vancouver Pride. As the core concept of solidarity is community involvement, it's fantastic to see our members out and proud. Happy pride!

Citizens’ Climate Lobby Canada@citizenslobbyca.bsky.social · 2mo agoAn MP asked us to a frame a one-pager on climate-aligned finance to bring to back to his caucus.

@edzitron.com Can you please get mad at CBCs Frontburner for an angry canadian who lacks the words. Recent AI coverage never mentions that there is no intelligence to LLMs, or the hallucination problem. They go on to entertain Divine AI, humanize it and compare it to Skynet then suggest AGI is near
i’d been putting off sitting down to read james’ new book because i don’t know a lot about myanmar or rojava or the spanish civil war & i was worried my lack of subject matter knowledge would be a barrier…. that was so silly of me. listen to him read the first chapter. it’s so heart breakingly good.

A recent report by the UN has declared the world is in an era of “global water bankruptcy,” arguing that current terminology fails to encapsulate irreversible water losses and some regions’ inability to climb back to historic baseline levels. #WorldWaterDay www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/clim...

Charlie Angus@charlieangus104.bsky.social · last yr.Trump threatened our nation and suddenly Danielle Smith went into over drive pushing the break up of our nation. How convenient.

252 million years ago the Earth’s temperature increased by 8C over 60,000 years, killing 90% of life on Earth in a period known as ‘The Great Dying’. We’re on track for 4C rise above preindustrial temp in our children’s life times. We’re living through ‘The Great Slaughter’.
This is the future neoliberal leaders actively want: Destruction, death, heartbreak. Why else would they be gifting subsidies of $7,000,000,000,000 a year to the fossil fuel industry - an industry that has made $3,000,000,000 profits EVERY DAY FOR 50 YEARS?

One party with 40% of the vote shouldn't control 100% of the power. From healthcare and housing to climate, education, and everything in between, decisions are being made without majority support. Canada needs a voting system where every voice counts. We need proportional representation.
We’re led by warmongers & cowards. They have no intention of stopping our civilisation slamming into a wall because they were put in place by the forces profiting from it. None of our children get to survive unless we take the money out of politics & end this relentless ascent of psychopaths.
Here are what our smoke kits contain. 300 of these will be divided and distributed to affectes communities.
We might get lucky & survive the extreme heat, the fires, the floods. We’re not going to survive running out of food.

Our corporate-owned food system is decimating ecosystems & driving insects to extinction. But without insects we have no food system. We urgently take food out of the hands of multinationals, we change what we eat & how we produce it. Or we watch a planet starve.

Emma the Sewer Socialist@mayorseidel.bsky.social · last yr.Imagine a British accent on NPR saying “On Friday, regime security forces fired riot suppression ordinance at nonviolent demonstrators protesting the detention of a prominent labor leader in a populous western region.”
2C by 2029. 0.5C HIGHER than the ‘safe limit’ agreed by 195 countries in Paris less than 10 years ago. Yet I’ve not heard a single journalist ask a leader or politician about this. We’re being boiled to death by a media & politics in the pocket of the fossil fuel industry.
