Spot on! White women, have done more harm than good to the cause of non-white women globally. And continue to do so. The scourge of white feminism has misunderstood women elsewhere so badly that it has changed them forever. And yes, i am confident in generalizing this. #feminism #whitewomen

#Climate is perhaps globally irreversible as we have seen in #Nepal recently. With so much evidence of destruction in the real world, it is unbelievable how this is an issue that #Canada is just not taking seriously. What is the point of “nation building” if in just a few years we may not have one?

The irony is that Canada still very much wants to work with/join the EU who is bending the knee to Trump, while we aren't. Its an awkward place for Carney to be and to play both sides and hope we come out winning at all ends. 🇨🇦🇪🇺

It’s a blight on our world that of the three things this letter instructs its readers to do, we only believe one of them -dreaming big. We refuse to learn everything we can and we do not care for those who care for us. And we still think we can be anyone we want to be. RIP Dolly.

The resignation and controversy around the late Jason Arday did not rally the troops online nearly as much as his tragic death did. Maybe if the outpouring of grief and support we see now would have happened earlier, it may have prevented this tragedy. That was when he really needed your support.

Humanitarianism communication fails to identify the source of human suffering and focuses instead on the white benevolent humanitarian saviour. My review of @djefferess.bsky.social new book; The Humanitarian Fable. Saviorism, Race and Aid (Routledge, 2026). www.thenewhumanitarian.org/opinion/2026...

The curse of the humanitarian narrative

Using narratives to communicate in the humanitarian and development space is particularly problematic. Here’s why.

If there was an opportunity for Avi Lewis and the New Democratic Party of Canada to push their agenda on #environment forward, they must invite Steven Guilbeault to collaborate with them now that he is resigning from the Liberal caucus. This would be a great partnership! www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

The immediate status quo, centrist attacks on Avi Lewis are precisely why he is effective and needed. In face of growing right wing escalation, an unbashadely left opposition that is anti capitalist & internationalist is both principled *and* realistic.

There was a massive #Palestine flag being waved by the crowd behind #AviLewis on the stage as he won the #NDP leadership! It’s also the first and only political party forum in #Canada that has publiclly and on national television used the word genocide and called out Israel in #Gaza.

@rachelgilmore.bsky.social you didnt misunderstand. Carney's "Davos in action" is a selfish approach which says we will align ourself with bullies if it is in our self-interest. Even if it means supporting illegal wars. Thats not something we should support or be proud of as Canadians.

Themrise Khan @themrise.bsky.social · 28/02/2026

PM Carney has fed the Western world his “Davos Delusion” knowing it would be lapped up by them. This is the first of his “actions” under it. Let no one think we have a saviour in him.

“Canada supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent its regime from further threatening international peace and security.” Well. For those of us wondering if he’d walk the walk of the Davos speech, this is a pretty big answer. Nope.

玉險
Office of the Prime Minister
Cabinet du
Premier Ministre
Statement by Prime Minister Carney and
Minister Anand on the situation in the Middle East
"The Canadian government is closely following Iran-related hostilities throughout the Middle East and urges all Canadians in Iran to shelter in place. Canadians in the wider region should follow local advice and take all necessary precautions.
Canada's position remains clear: the Islamic Republic of Iran is the principal source of instability and terror throughout the Middle East, has one of the world's worst human rights records, and must never be allowed to obtain or develop nuclear weapons.
Canada and our international partners have consistently called upon the Iranian regime to end its nuclear program, including at the 2025 G7 Leaders' Summit in Kananaskis and with the United Nations' reimposition of sanctions in September.
Despite diplomatic efforts, Iran has neither fully dismantled its nuclear program, halted all enrichment activities, nor ended its support for regional terrorist proxy groups. Canada stands with the Iranian people in their long and courageous struggle against Iran's oppressive regime. Canada has listed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist entity, and has sanctioned 256 Iranian entities and 222 individuals in response to the regime's repression and its violence both against its own people, and persistently, beyond its borders. Canada reaffirms Israel's right to defend itself and to ensure the security of its people.
Canada supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent its regime from further threatening international peace and security.
The Canadian government urges the protection of all civilians in this conflict. We will take all possible measures to protect our nationals and Canadian diplomatic missions throughout the region."

This NYT story failed the reader by not digging deeper. One subject dropped out of college after one year (five years ago) and lists "Windows" as his skillset. Story should be: young conservatives who blame immigrants for their personal failures and whose lives won't be improved w/ fewer immigrants

NYT headline reads: "The Young People Fixated on Who Gets to Work in America

For some Gen Z conservatives, H-1B visas are a hot new topic."

Excerpt reads: "Take Mitchell Boone, a 27-year-old Trump supporter. Five years after leaving a computer science program at the University of Missouri, and what he says are over 1,000 job applications later, Mr. Boone claims he has landed just a single job interview.

Today, he says he keeps three part-time jobs in Greenville, S.C., and grows his own food to cut down on expenses. Having abandoned hopes of working in tech, Mr. Boone says he is exploring alternative fields like construction or farming.

Mr. Boone, who said he voted for Mr. Trump in the last two presidential elections, spoke of his post-grad years with an air of exasperation. But he’s finally settled on an explanation for his bleak economic straits: the H-1B."

On his LinkedIn, it says he spent one year at University of Missouri-Columbia, studying computer science from Aug 2022 to Sept 2023. He says he dropped out to join the workforce. Skillset includes Windows and attention to detail.
