We are so overdue for NDP MLAs with a conscience to call out this terrible leadership. And if he demotes you, let him isolate himself and force a much-needed shuffle at the top

This Thanksgiving, we need to have a talk with our "i'm sure glad Carney is at the helm" relatives. Have them elaborate on how increased surveillance, more AI data centers, fewer environmental protections, more pipelines, and an end to the gas tax and solar incenyives are what we need right now.

About 50 people crammed into the court room to hear the decision, which took Murray 10 minutes to deliver. Applause broke out as she stood, with people openly crying from relief, from happiness, from feeling like someone in power understood the urgency of the crisis.

You're reposting I guess... Well actually: bsky.app/profile/rach... Also in the news: "Nor is the power confined to so-called “strategic sectors.” Rather, it reaches any lawful strike within federal jurisdiction, from a bank call centre to a grain elevator." www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Mark Carney says he’s protecting Canadian workers. It’s Orwellian doublespeak

Subject to ministerial review, the right to strike is likely to be much weakened by Bill C-39.

In 2023, I was working with a charity & we did this market to serve food/provide clothes/haircuts for ppl on the DTES. Pete Fry and Ken Sim said they'd come. Pete Fry came, Ken Sim didn't. 2 weeks later, Ken Sim had the homeless people in the park rounded up, their possessions put in garbage cans.

In honour of Brent Bambury's upcoming retirement from the CBC, we remember when @nardwuarserviette.bsky.social told Ween in '93 that cheese chimichangas with samosas are even better than Brent Bambury on ice cream." At 14:19 youtube.com/watch?v=9UES...

An individual in Canada used ChatGPT for eight months to plan one of the country’s worst mass shootings. Yet, if you listen to politicians and media, the real threat of AI is a fantastical scenario where it might wipe out humans in ten years. They need to stop getting fooled by tech deceivers.

The media has the AI threat all wrong

Generative AI is harming people today. We don’t need to waste time fantasizing about science fictional scenarios.

"In sum, Carney seems to be planning to sell off public infrastructure we need to help fund private infrastructure we don’t—with our money covering the risk, while investors make off with the profits."

Bluesky is funny because it's a bunch of people explaining the national shitshow of post-9/11 brain rot to people who are too young to remember but also too young to be on Bluesky. But it's nice to be in good company.

For those arguing the PM plans to learn from the 'mistakes' of the past this is who Carney appointed as principle advisor: “If we really want to end the violence & depravation that plagues Canada’s remote Aboriginal communities, we need to help them leave these communities, forever,” Scott #CDNpoli

Carney’s pick for advisor, Scott Gilmore raising eyebrows

Earlier this month, a number of media sources reported Scott Gilmore would soon be moved into the role of Carneys' principal advisor.

I love how Republican strategists are in this weird middle zone where they occasionally forget that they completely abandoned the image of the prudish clean-cut straight shooter, and their base (absent some partisan guidance) will absolutely embrace things much freakier than a guy in a speedo

Azaroff gains nothing by losing the election and letting Sim win. I'm trying to figure out what he gains by staying in a couple more days if that's his plan. Maybe he thinks it makes him look like more of a serious candidate and sows left division, letting Sim win so OC can say "we told you so"?

I'm curious what @onecityvan.bsky.social members & casual supporters think of @wazaroff.bsky.social digging in that he has a better shot than Fry now that Steph Allen has left. I find it so sad & selfish. Election is in less than 2 months. The agreement was solid. This is Art-of-the-Deal behaviour.

This isn't my to-do list, but I found it on the ground by Grandview and Lakewood, and it still has a lot of tasks left unchecked. I probably won't research tattoo fonts or draft up a separation agreement, but I'll tackle bikes, taxes, room sort.

A reminder Carney's agenda remains a militaristic climate killing and antidemocratic one. He will use all this to further and even expand this agenda. We still need to fight him on this.

the perennial focus on arson or intentional fires is a distraction from the main driver of increased fire activity: climate change. it's tempting to believe individual pyromaniacs are responsible because looking at systemic causes would require us, as a country, to stop investing in pipelines.
