2/ Real projects of national interest look like: -A Green New Deal to lower energy costs and create a million good union jobs -A war-time level build-out of non-market housing you can actually afford -A national network of public grocery stores to take on the Big Grocery cartel

1/ 1318 meetings with fossil fuel lobbyists in Mark Carney’s first year in office. Another summer of Canada burning. It’s clear whose interest this pipeline is actually in, and it sure isn’t Canadians'.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Prime Minister Mark Carney stand in front of workers in hard hats, smiling. News headline text: Carney designates West Coast pipeline as national interest project. 'National' struck out and replaced with corporate.

One thing about the Cornell 7 is that none of them dressed up like women to rape a woman. The issue is not trans women in washrooms. Women are attacked by cis men everywhere.

Last week, Avi Lewis and our NDP caucus joined Bank of Canada security workers on the picket line. As the Liberals ramp up their attacks on the right to strike, we'll keep standing with workers to fight back, together.

Listen. I’m not a supporter of doxxing. But if you create a viral image of yourself and friends insulting an ally, and you think that demonstrates the kind of judgment that makes you a good credit union CEO, well, you deserve to be fired.

I was just thinking today more places will announce the end of time changes before Nov. 1. Now, with the exception of western Nunavut, only provinces east of Manitoba will have time changes. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The territory announced that seasonal time changes will end on Nov. 1, following an announcement earlier this year that the N.W.T. would move to one consistent time zone.

I want people to understand the full impact of the devastation that First Nations in Canada are facing. It's NOT just that people and wildlife are losing their homes...it's the history that is being lost for generations to come.

1/ Climate change is not some far-off threat. It is here. It is happening.   And it is caused by the burning of fossil fuels that the Liberal government is pouring billions of public money into expanding.   This is the crisis we cannot afford to ignore.

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. /1

Yes! When the church understands our role in mutual flourishing in community it is beautiful. When we see it as territory, we not only become paternalistic but we become insular and ignore the global issues that cause harm, including those we have perpetuated.

I have a question for art museum visitors. Why do you take phone camera pictures of every painting? You will not get a good picture. You will do far better downloading the image. Instead, take a quick picture of the description card. Then you will have a quick reference with all the relevant info.

Another rule of thumb, if you are going to make a little you may as well make a lot. And ground meat patties or balls make a fine substitute for cuts of meat. And cheaper.

1/ It’s a relief to hear the Prime Minister express some moral outrage over Ben-Gvir’s brutish behaviour, outrage which has been missing during Israel’s attack on Iran, bombardment of Lebanon and ongoing genocide in Gaza.
Screenshot of a tweet from Prime Minister Carney: The abominable treatment of civilians aboard the flotilla, including that which is documented in footage shared by Itamar Ben-Gvir, is unacceptable. 

Canada’s Minister of Foreign Affairs has directed officials to summon the Israeli ambassador to demand assurances regarding the safety and security of Canadians involved. 

Canada has already imposed strict sanctions on Mr. Ben-Gvir, including asset freezes and a travel ban, in response to his repeated incitement of violence. The protection of civilians and respect for human dignity must be upheld everywhere, at all times.
