The LNG industry is an economic loser for Canada that deepens our economy’s structural problems rather than resolving them. It’s also an active front in the private equity takeover of this country that Mark Carney is orchestrating, writes @nickgottlieb.bsky.social.

ICE just kidnapped a woman at LAX airport Saturday Oct 3, 12:50AM. A community member was able to record when several ICE goons who refused to identify themselves grabbed the woman, put her into a van and then drove off.

I don't think "fantasy racism" should be acceptable any more I get that people don't want to sand the edges off in pursuit of being woke, and there is an appeal to an imperfect fantasy world But people are actively role-playing as the oppressors now, this isn't harmless fantasy world building

When Carney yells, “Canada Strong,” he’s lying to Canadians. He’s going to sell Canada off, but by bit to the highest foreign bidders.

Got absolutely sucked into #Moonring last night, I didn't expect it to hook me so quickly but it scratches and itch I didn't know I was feeling It really shows what is often sacrificed in the pursuit of realism. Lower fidelity can mean more depth, immersion, freedom and imagination

"When it comes to social, economic, and environmental policy, [the Carney government] is following through on its promise to “nation-build” with a sweeping program of austerity, deregulation and cuts," writes @lukewsavage.bsky.social. #GiftLink 🎁 #CdnPoli www.thestar.com/gift-redeem?...
But we should also consider the possibility that Carney’s apparent promise of a new and more independent global posture was never really genuine in the first place. When the prime minister gave his big speech in Davos earlier this year, what many heard was a stirring call for a new progressive internationalism in the age of Donald Trump. But, as I argued at the time, what he was really saying was that middle powers like Canada can no longer afford to ground their actions in the pursuit of idealistic notions like human rights. This, not incidentally, is more or less how the government has sought to justify its own right-leaning domestic agenda as well: its abandonment of climate targets and gutting of environmental regulations; its tax cuts for the wealthy; its slash and burn attitude toward the public sector; and its overzealous embrace of AI. 

Both at home and abroad, the Trump threat serves as a pretext for a form of would-be pragmatism that is really just conservatism by any other name. Within its own borders, Canada is increasingly being run less like a country and more like a business. On the world stage, it is barely even pretending to care about concepts like international law and human rights. 

This also helps explain the very stark difference between the prime minister’s campaign rhetoric and his incessant pursuit of cosy relations with Washington.

"Pathways is a non-binding pledge that enables expanded oil production, higher greenhouse gas emissions and billions in public subsidies for pipelines and carbon-capture infrastructure — This is not climate policy; it is greenwashing dressed up as national strategy."

OUTRAGEOUS! DHS officers in Portland detained an Indigenous activist wearing the MMIW handprint outside the ICE facility. Suppressing peaceful demonstrators exposes the deep disregard for native lives. Indigenous sovereignty and human rights cannot be silenced.

environmentaldefence.ca/report/who_b... We don't make jack shit from the pipelines. We pay for everything and they give us nothing. They don't even pay back the subsidies while they make RECORD PROFITS. How about they can go fuck themselves and we become a renewable powerhouse

More than 70% of oilsands production foreign-owned, while Canadians pay higher subsidies to keep the industry afloat & clean up the mess left behind.

Talking to a colleague about #FinalFantasy games; "Is it one big continuous series?" "No each one is its own world with unique characters and narrative. 1-6 are all 2d turn based games." "Like Slay the Spire?" "Kinda yeah." "So it's a roguelike?" "Nope, they're just... RPGs" He didn't get it

AI data centers are sucking up communities’ power & water. AI is being used by corporations to shaft consumers and is threatening young workers’ job prospects. So Trump wants to ram through a ban on state AI regulation — all to help out his Big Tech billionaire friends. Priorities.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

When the dotcom bubble burst, the S&P 500 lost 43% of its total value (Nasdaq was 75%). Cisco was the most valuable company, worth about 4% of the total. Today, Nvidia is 9% of the total S&P 500, and the top 5 companies equal about 30%. Feels like when this crashes it is going to be very bad.
