The Liberals and Conservatives just voted together to attack labour, environmental, and Indigenous rights to fast-track corporate mega projects.
This is the exact same approach the Liberals fought under Stephen Harper. Now, they're bringing back that very same agenda and Harper is cheering from the sidelines.
We don’t save Canada by sacrificing our environment and constitutional protections on the altar of private profits. Bill C-39 is an unmitigated disaster, and Canadians will be fighting back.

Doug Ford says, “Don’t go down to the US and buy a product.”
So why is he forcing Ontario teachers to buy $66 MILLION worth of classroom supplies… from a U.S. company?

The principal threats to peace and security in the Middle East right now are obviously the US and Israel which launched an illegal war on Iran and created the Strait of Hormuz crisis - also Israel which has bombed multiple countries in the region over the past year
Canada's Foreign Minister Anita Anand:
Canada’s position on Iran is unequivocal. Iran is the principal threat to peace and security in its region. It must never acquire a nuclear weapon.
Its threats to navigation rights in the Strait of Hormuz are a direct affront to international law. We join our Gulf and European partners in strongly condemning Iran’s attacks in the region.
And Canada is deploying every available tool, including targeted sanctions that I announced this week, to confront the Iranian regime’s abhorrent behavior.

La privatisation des aéroports est une très mauvaise affaire pour les voyageurs, les travailleurs et les finances publiques.
Partout dans le monde, elle a entraîné une hausse des frais de service, une diminution du nombre d’emplois et une détérioration des conditions de travail.
Les barons du capital privé et les gestionnaires de fonds en raffolent! Une fois en place, ils détiennent une part d’un monopole naturel et impriment de l’argent pendant des décennies.
C'est une erreur qu'on doit éviter.
L’alternative à la privatisation de nos aéroports, c’est de NE PAS LE FAIRE.

My 2023 Massey lectures and book, THE AGE OF INSECURITY, explore how seemingly disparate crises—rising inequality and declining mental health, the ecological emergency, and the threat of authoritarianism—originate from a social order built on insecurity.

When your provincial government tells you it “doesn’t have any more money for public libraries”.
Nova Scotia Premier @TimHoustonNS did it with a straight face.

This is why we can't rely on the market for housing.
Even with substantial breaks on development charges to developers, housing construction isnt happening at the pace we need.

Homelessness is at an absolute crisis point in Barrie and our local Member of Provincial Parliament actually wants to make MORE people homeless in our City.

🇨🇦Shopify's CEO says your grandmother/poor people are "dependent" and shouldn't vote.
He took home $205.5 million last year and thinks he deserves 5 votes.
On a one-dollar salary (no tax).

The multi-billionaire CEO of Shopify thinks a “good system” is one where the poor don’t get to vote in elections and the rich get to vote several times over.
I wish I was kidding.
Oh, and guess what? This guy and his pals are trying to influence our politics -- and they're arguably succeeding:

Carney has caved to Trump at almost every turn despite his "elbows up" campaign: scrapping important environmental legislation, joining the "Golden Dome," saying the war in Iran was "worth it" and Trump is *still* slapping us with tariffs.

So all the groveling and agreeing to all his terms and destroying our social safety net to build up a massive military and hiring 1000 RCMP officers for his border while building pipelines while the country burns all did nothing and things are worse now than they've ever been

Outrageous and unacceptable. The Namaygoosisagagun First Nation wasn’t warned of the blaze that burned their community to the ground and were not given supports to evacuate.
The federal government must recognize Namaygoosisagagun’s status, reimburse them for the services they should have provided and give them the resources they need to recover from this disaster.
A small First Nations community in Ontario that was burned to the ground by a raging wildfire on Monday is being deprived of the help it needs because the federal government doesn't recognize it as a First Nation, the community's lawyer said.

Incredibly brazen for the Prime Minister to boast about the “lasting benefits” of expanding fossil fuel production on a day like today.
Record-breaking heatwaves. Toxic smoke engulfing cities and towns. Out of control wildfires forcing entire communities to evacuate.
This government is spending billions of dollars in public money to expand the very industry that’s causing climate breakdown — at a moment when renewables are cheaper and more available than ever before.
No more climate-wrecking corporate welfare. We need a government that protects the people and places we love.
