Incredible piece by Justin Ling in Toronto Star detailing Carney's concentration of power in the PMO. Also a portrait of doubling down on the outdated conservative neoliberalism that got us here. As Matthew Remski said, Carney is Thatcher, just more likeable. archive.ph/rny4a #cdnpoli

So, Banksy bought a used yacht, repaired it and retrofitted it to serve as a rescue boat to save migrants in the central Mediterranean. The whole project cost the artist $860,000. Since 2020, the boat has saved more than 3,800 people. londondaily.com/banksy-funds...

@mark-carney.bsky.social Canada is STILL trading with Israel, while pledging aid to Gaza??? So our country is basically Ed Sheeran. Why can’t Liberal foreign policy evolve???? Even a genocide couldn’t move the needle.

“Scholarship” — please. Chicanery, sycophancy, mendacity, colonial sexual fever dreams about Arab/Muslim men. Sleeper cells, weapons of mass destruction, & my favourite Obama-era treat, “countering violent extremism”. CSIS or FBI informants with no life purpose, crashing Muslim student iftars…

Canada has normalized this and other colonial settler horrors for such a long time, and punishment against those who speak out (pity, contempt, isolation, repeat) is a deeply unacknowledged part of our social fabric.
