Teaching PYP Music while masking. Have been called a stirrer - no idea why. Enjoy quilting and other kinds of making.

Right now Israel is invading Gaza and breaking the Ceasefire to blow up the last few habitable buildings and complete their Ethnic Cleansing so they can move onto completing their Genocide. And there is silence, TOTAL SILENCE. The West are as guilty of Genocide as Israel.

Carney Liberals spreading out their purchase of 80 AMERICAN built and networked F-35 fighter jets, nickel and diming this treason into smaller chunks, hoping no one will have the attention span to keep score. Carney is a traitor on every front. @thestar.com www.readthemaple.com/david-mcguin...

David McGuinty Announces $4 Billion For F-35 Jet Infrastructure

Today I joined First Nations youth-led group Okiniwak and Attawapiskat First Nation Elder Jocelyn Wabano-Iahta, a Survivor of water contamination, demanding the government uphold the human right to clean, safe-drinking water in Bill C-37.

As Canada becomes increasingly known for exporting wildfire smoke, is now the time to build oil pipelines? I speak to Jaime Poisson at CBC’s Front Burner about what Carney is prioritizing for investment with little to no public debate.

Water is life, and life is not negotiable. Neither are Indigenous rights. As the Liberal government tries to deny the basic human right to water, undermine Constitutional rights and eliminate critical environmental protections... (1/2)

Selling off Canada’s public infrastructure won't lower costs or build a fairer future for working families—it just guarantees higher corporate profits. You don’t build a stronger country by selling it off. My latest op-ed in @TheHillTimes www.hilltimes.com/2026/10/07/y... #cdnpoli #VancouverEast

You don’t build a stronger Canada by selling it off - The Hill Times

The choice is not between doing nothing and privatizing everything. It is between building an economy that serves people, and building one that serves investors.

The Liberals and Conservatives teamed up again today — funny how that keeps happening — to get Bill C-39 over the hurdle of its first vote. The massive, 243-page bill bulldozes environmental protections, Indigenous rights and attacks the right to strike. Here's what this means:

I’m increasingly convinced, watching his politics, that what motivates Carney the most isn’t brutally ~pragmatic~ economics. The pipeline shows he’s willing to make moves with no economic case, seemingly to be popular in Alberta. I think he’s motivated by his own legacy.

If protesting didn't work, would those in power be doing everything they can right now to vilify protestors and crack down on free speech? Activist and author Annie Leonard offers an important history lesson on why protest is so important — and why it's needed now more than ever.

How Israel's relentless killing of over 1000 Palestinians in Gaza since October 2025 can be called a "ceasefire" is beyond me- its brainwashing. Aljazeera noted: Israel attacked Gaza on 325 of the past 361 days, leaving only 36 days with no reported attacks, deaths or injuries.

At 3:00pmET today, the House of Commons is scheduled for its first vote on Bill C-39 — Carney’s push to bulldoze nature, run roughshod on Indigenous rights, and kill the right to strike. I’ll be watching to see if any Liberal MPs show a shred of a backbone in the face of their conservative leader.

So many questions, all of which speak to the credibility of the Carney government & its overall strategy for managing the Canada-US relationship. 1 “In a statement to CBC News, GAC did not deny that it had concerns with describing the U.S. as a foreign interference threat.” Why not? It clearly is.

The federal government has withdrawn sponsorship of a European disinformation conference that includes panels discussing the U.S. government as a foreign interference risk.
