Corey Doctorow is the furthest thing from Maple MAGA and he raises a lot of good points. pluralistic.net/2026/05/30/r...

I post Corey Doctorow's devastating essay filled with receipts. And a cultist responds with a link to Liberal propaganda.

Why would I be on the same side as the Regressive Conservatives like our Banker PM? We deserve so much better. Yet another example of the Liberal/Regressive Conservative coalition.

This is the government we now have. It's going to be a few painful austere years filled with so much needless suffering. As he stubbornly refuses to implement an overwhelmingly popular wealth tax to fund the services we desperately need.

Call for Writing: Disability Gain
June 2, 2025 AANM Events	

Disability is often seen in a negative light, as loss, deficit or tragedy. But we can also talk about the good that can come from it, such as creativity, resourcefulness, community connections, new directions, and unique abilities. Arts AccessAbility Network Manitoba is seeking writing that flips the script and shows what we can gain from disability. Selected contributions will be published in an anthology edited by Diane Driedger and Sara Arenson.

We are looking for essays, fiction, non-fiction, poetry, memoir or work that defies genre, from writers who self-identify as having a disability, whether physical, sensory, neurological, intellectual, mental health, neurodivergence, or chronic illness. We welcome submissions from writers of all genders, ages, backgrounds, and lived experiences, including but not limited to 2SLGBTQIA+/2SQTBIPOC, Indigenous, Black, racialized, and immigrant communities.

Submit prose of any genre up to 1,000 words, or up to three poems.

Deadline: October 15, 2025

Never a better time to contact your newly elected MP and demand that we implement PR before the next election. So we don't have to exist in existential dread for weeks again, next election. There's too much at stake. www.fairvote.ca/100-years-of... #CdnPoli #PRNow

If you want to fight the oligarchs, you should look elsewhere than the Regressive Conservatives and the Liberals. Thankfully there are multiple ridings where Winnipegers can elect NDP MPs who will actually fight oligarchs both foreign and domestic. #CdnPoli #PRNow

I'm exhausted. This whole campaign would be so much less an existential issue if we had Proportional Representation like we had been promised for over a century. Over 100 countries have made it work at least to some degree. I'll just end with sharing a disturbing photo of what FPTP enables.

PsyPhiGrad @psyphigrad.bsky.social · 26/04/2025
False. The Regressive Conservatives are extremists. They had no problem hijacking the old Progressive Conservative party under FPTP. Over 100 countries use Proportional Representation. Nobody is advocating we adopt the Israeli model. Such disingenuous nonsense. www.fairvote.ca/04/09/2022/e...

How about if it's paid through a much needed Wealth Tax? What we need most is increased defense from the power and abuse of the oligarchs.

I'm sorry that your media feed is that toxic. Mine isn't. I see the positive messages. This is further proof that we need to dampen the power of the techbro oligarchs. Sadly, Carney opposes doing that. We deserve better. That's why I believe we need a minority government with lots of NDP MPs.

PsyPhiGrad @psyphigrad.bsky.social · 24/04/2025
OMG. There are so many reasons. The Liberals, time & time again, campaign from the left and govern from the right. Usually require an NDP minority to force them to do the things they promise (Pharmacare, Dental Care, Affordable Housing). Personally it's Electoral Reform. They can't be trusted.

Why are you so upset because I pointed out that you reject the primary definition of "democracy" from the Merriam-Webster dictionary? People aren't allowed to disagree with you in your "democracy"? Some people think an election like 1979, where the loser becomes the winner is undemocratic.

PsyPhiGrad @psyphigrad.bsky.social · 12/04/2025
I get it. You BELIEVE Canada is a "democracy". When 32% of the vote = a majority, there's a good reason why some people disagree with you.

They won't get votes from across the country? They won't run candidates across the nation? Weird that you'd come to that conclusion because they've run a bad campaign and have received even worse coverage while people obsess over polls rather than issues.

Social debts lead to so much needless suffering and wasted potential, yet politicians rarely talk about them. Perhaps it's because they'd have to acknowledge their role in Social Murder. #CdnPoli

The Regressive Conservatives are a non-factor (13%) last election. This is one of the few ridings were the MP had a legitimate mandate (over 50% of the votes under FPTP) last election. It will take some major fearmongering by the Liberals for them to take this seat.
