Throwing billions in public money behind a pipeline at a time of climate breakdown – while sweeping aside environmental protections, meaningful Indigenous consultation and workers’ right to strike – is absolutely not in the national interest.

The environmental and climate consequences of building a new oil pipeline are extreme, including the threat to endangered Southern Resident orcas.

Guys I'm listening to the Q&A of the pipeline announcement and the first question (with three mins left in the video!!) about anything other than the economics of the pipeline came from POSTMEDIA POSTMEDIA was the first to ask about Indigenous consultation. What is everyone else DOING bro?????

How PMMC weaves climate change in here is weird but I believe it's part of a new comms tactic. Mentioning the "existential threat of climate change" along with climate destroying projects is supposed to signal to Cdns that he's got this, that we don't have to think abt it bc he's taking care of it.

Canadians warned Carney not to sideline scientists. Bill C-39 does just that, critics say
When the Liberals proposed overhauling major project approvals, the public worried it would concentrate power and infringe on Indigenous Rights. Now, pipelines and nuclear development will be reviewed by an energy agency, instead of environmental

Carney is truly the Reagan of Canada. A calming, paternalistic figure in a period of apocalyptic uncertainty who galvanizes the economy with short-sighted right wing fiscal policies. And like Reagan, every disaster that Canada encounters in the future will be traceable to his administration.

New: Macklemore will donate entire $1M of his earnings from Ed Sheeran's tour to six orgs helping Palestinians — and invites Robert Kraft to match him. Says he wants to center Palestinians being killed + journalists & aid workers who keep going. "Their risk is of a far different order than mine."
With everything that has happened over the last 48 hours, I want to bring the conversation back to where it belongs: to the Palestinian people who are still being killed, still living under military occupation, and still fighting for their freedom.
I will be donating the entire $1 million of my net earnings from Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour to six organizations working directly to support the Palestinian people. And I invite Robert Kraft to match my donation. Whatever we disagree about, perhaps we can agree on this: Palestinian lives are worth protecting. A Palestinian life is no less valuable than any other life on this earth.
That is what this has always been about. Not me. Not a tour. Not the headlines or the controversy. It is about Palestinians right to freedom, dignity and safety in their own homeland. I want to center the parents carrying their children into hospitals without the basic resources to treat them, and the physicians, paramedics, journalists and aid workers who keep going back in. I want to center the organizers and activists who have paid real costs for standing with Palestine. Their risk is of a far different order than mine.
Just yesterday, 15 year old Muhammad al Zinati was killed in an Israeli strike while rushing to help aid worker Sherif Lubbad, who had already been injured. He was a child. Both were murdered. Both should be alive. And the ones still under the rubble, whose names exist only in the memories of people who may not have survived to speak them. Writing a check is one of the least costly forms of solidarity available to me. I am doing it because I can, and because these organizations are doing the work while much of the world debates it.
But aid alone cannot address the conditions that make it necessary. This is a manmade injustice, and I believe it requires immediate political change. Palestinians have lived for decades without basic rights and should not have to wait another day to be free. That is where my focus will remain. I will …

When you hear it said how the UN has conceded that the world has lost its chance to keep warming below 1.5° Celsius, it is important to understand that this isn’t the end of the world, no, but is is confirmation that the world as we knew it has already ended.

Some people might not be aware, but it is entirely possible that without Dolly Parton we wouldn’t have had a COVID vaccine. She partly funded Moderna’s research and gave the largest individual contribution to make it all happen. Just gives you an idea of the kind of person she was.

Retaliatory tariffs are economically self-harming, but potentially politically useful. Next 18 months: negative for CDN business overall, and painful for selected US exporters. Longer term: potentially beneficial if it meaningfully reduces Canada’s dependence on a single market. TL;DR: It's right.

Anyone who has ever run out of household budget before they run out of month already understands this important distinction very keenly. Once again, their public messaging tells us that the Carney government believes voters are idiots. Or that enough of them don't really care about the hungry.
Image of super-disappointing oligarch-serving cruel Canadian prime minister Mark Carney, with text:

Giving a few vulnerable Canadians temporary lump sum payments to buy a few overpriced groceries does nothing to actually "improve affordability."

It's like pretending that if you buy a homeless person a sandwich, you've "made sandwiches more affordable."

No, sandwiches still cost the same, & the underlying problem remains utterly unchanged.

3/ Mark Carney has abandoned progressives in the Liberal Party in favour of the interests of big business. Steven Guilbeault’s departure makes that crystal clear. There is only one party that fights for everyday people. It’s time for change. And that change starts with us.
