Was thrilled to appear on @systemcrash.info this week hosted by @parismarx.com! We chat about the conservative weirdos who badly want to import DOGE to Canada.

Paris Marx@parismarx.com · 2y ago

Canadians go to the polls on Monday, so it’s worth knowing how conservatives — including an oil executive and Amazon public policy person — are planning for how the implement a DOGE in Canada and silence their critics while they’re at it. Great interview with @geoffdembicki.bsky.social this week!

Need more proof that Pierre Poilievre wants to bring a Trump agenda to Canada? Marc Fawcett-Atkinson from @nationalobserver.com and I were at the ARC conference in London, where Poilievre allies rubbed shoulders with MAGA supporters. www.desmog.com/2025/04/08/j... @desmog.bsky.social

Jordan Peterson's International Network Has Its Eye on Pierre Poilievre

Despite disclaiming Trump's policies on the campaign trail, talks from the Conservative Party candidate's allies at Peterson's ARC conferences hew closely to MAGA.

The genocide in Gaza hasn’t stopped—it’s just slowed. Internet access remains life-saving, but funding for eSIMs has taken a hit. With costs rising and donations dropping, Crips for eSIMs for Gaza needs to raise at least $42K CAD to keep folks connected. Help if you can!

• disabilityvisibilityproject.com We have also been steadfast as we can be—in a disabled way. For over a year, we have sent eSIMs every day, from our bed, from the toilet, in the hospital, while waiting for the bus. With over 160+ volunteers, we have sent over 18,000 eSIMs and kept several thousand active continuously, some for over half a year, totalling more than 41,000 eSIMs and top ups. Thanks to all of your donations, we raised over two million dollars CAD and spent over two million dollars CAD on a rough estimate of 600,000 gigabytes of data, in support of Connecting Humanity and Gazans on the ground.• disabilityvisibilityproject.com With keeping eSIMs active for this long, and Canadian-US exchange rate at a disadvantage due to, among other reasons, the Trump candidacy, our spending has ballooned while donations have dropped. As a result, we are currently several thousand dollars in the negatives, and need to raise at least $42K CAD to comfortably send new eSIMs to Gazans again. We have been eager to keep all our active eSIMs going, especially users who use 10GB or more a day, knowing one single eSIM can power a whole family or apartment, and knowing how dangerous it is to activate a new one in elevated locations. The genocide in Gaza is far from over, it has — as Bisan Owda and many others point out - simply slowed down. Until the local Internet infrastructure is safely restored, we will keep our eSIMs active and send new ones when we have the funds to do so.
