Sitting over my breakfast and crying in gratitude for the brave students resisting police violence to demand their government and universities stop arming genocide in Gaza and remembering how my generation stopped the imperialist war against VietNam. #NeverAgainIsNow
How Jewish & Palestinian students came to agreement on principles re Gaza / Israel. Very illuminating how people with such different starting points ended up agreeing. Worth the read @LindaMcQuaig @SethDKlein @judyrebick #cdnpoli #abpoli #onpoli #bcpoli peacequest.ca/p/7-ways-to-ta…

In World War II Canada went all in without knowing the war’s outcome. Such a contrast to Canada’s inaction on the climate challenge. We didn't say that because we have just 5% of the Axis’ powers population, we will wait until the big guys come on board @LindaMcQuaig @MaudeBarlow

Danielle Smith is more ideologue than populist, more authoritarian than libertarian. Ab police force, Ab pension plan, municipal pol parties are all unpopular. Read Trevor Harrison @ParklandInst @RicAcuna #abpoli #cdnpoli #bcpoli @sethKlein @LindaMcQuaig calgaryherald.com/opinion/column…
Global climate expert @Tzeporah knows: 1. Rules are needed to hold banks and pension funds accountable to cut their emissions - not count them - and 2. #CAFA is the missing piece of Canada's climate plan.

Israel is restricting U.S. humanitarian aid. They are breaking U.S. law. We should not send more U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund their war.
While CEOs are making nearly 350x as much as their employees, workers are missing their kids’ birthday parties and little league games...and many of them, STILL do not have enough money to pay the rent. We need a 32-hour workweek with no loss in pay.

My government continues to sell weapons and give diplomatic cover to Israel. Where ministers can't seem to stop inciting genocide. Even as they're tried for that ultimate crime in humanity's highest court. What else is left but to call for boycott, divestment and sanctions?

@AfterTheSands @LindaMcQuaig @MaudeBarlow @CanadiansOrg @ParklandInst So brilliantly put by Linda McQuaig.
This is more the Mulroney I remember, along with the button I still have, "Free Canada. Trade Mulroney".
Brian Mulroney was the most despised pm in Cdn history. “He was a petty and paranoid crook whose political project was to take from the poor and give to the rich". David Bush @MaudeBarlow @LindaMcQuaig @SethDKlein @ErikaShaker @RicAcuna #cdnpoli #abpoli springmag.ca/mulroneys-lega…
@AfterTheSands @MaudeBarlow @LindaMcQuaig @SethDKlein @ErikaShaker @RicAcuna Excellent work. Should be required reading. Mulroney was and is an enduring disaster for Canada.
@AfterTheSands @MaudeBarlow @LindaMcQuaig @SethDKlein @ErikaShaker @RicAcuna Spending cuts of over $3.4 billion were announced, targeting consumer oil subsidies, the CBC and federal public sector workers. The government also announced it would undertake a broad privatization program. All of this was couched in language of fighting the deficit
I have relatives that had excellent manufacturing jobs in Ontario. They were able to afford nice homes. Mulroney was part of the reason why those jobs were sent elsewhere. I encourage everyone to learn about neoliberalism and free market whatever It has made the rich richer
"Mulroney's free trade deal with the U.S. widened the gap between the rich and the rest, expanding poverty, while the middle classes diminished". Rick Salutin @MaudeBarlow @SethDKlein @ErikaShaker @shannondaub #cdnpoli #abpoli #onpoli #bcpoli thestar.com/opinion/contri…
@AfterTheSands @TheRealElaschuk @MaudeBarlow @LindaMcQuaig @SethDKlein @ErikaShaker @RicAcuna Pretty sure Harper took that crown.
@AfterTheSands @MaudeBarlow @LindaMcQuaig @SethDKlein @ErikaShaker @RicAcuna Really appreciate you Gordon !
While CEOs are making nearly 350x as much as their employees, workers are missing their kids’ birthday parties and little league games...and many of them, STILL do not have enough money to pay the rent. We need a 32-hour workweek with no loss in pay.
Australia, Canada, Sweden, and the EU have restored funding for UNRWA, which plays a key role delivering humanitarian aid in Gaza & across the region. You don’t starve two million people because of the alleged actions of 12 UNRWA employees. The U.S. should restore funding NOW.
@CDN_Dimension @AfterTheSands At the time, anyone who was honest with the facts knew NAFTA was going to gut the North American manufacturing sector
Breaking: Early this morning, Israeli army warplanes killed journalist Mohammed Yaghi along with his wife and children, bringing the total number of journalists killed by the Israeli army in Gaza to 130 journalists.
this is supervillain shit. bragging about tearing down encampments in edmonton to a crowd of tuxedoed and ball gowned elites at the fanciest private club in calgary while eating filet mignon.
EXCLUSIVE: The Progress Report has obtained audio of Premier Smith's address to the Ranchmen's Club at an exclusive black-tie event held on Feb. 15. The assembled Calgary business elite applaud Smith as she brags abouts about tearing down encampments in inner city Edmonton.
The way that Indigenous peoples are seeing and acting on climate change feels night and day with the rest of the world. We're actually thinking in terms of generational impacts and not like... abstract math problems to try and fail to geoengineer away. The forecasts are dire.
concerned about maple. its range limit keeps drawing north. spring is not cold like it used to be. afraid my daughter will be the last generation in my family to make syrup in the sugar bush. colonialism aims to devour the future
Keep on coming back to how out in the open and codified it is that oil and gas interests control our democracy, left right and centre.
Time to take “Democratic” out of NDP's name? Hard to believe the BC NDP put Elizabeth Cull, a LNG lobbyist in charge of deciding on Anjali Appadurai’s candidacy to lead the BC party #cdnpoli #bcpoli @avilewis @NaomiAKlein @LindaMcQuaig #letHerRun
Crickets for this #Cop28 Alberta event on their upstream petroleum research fund. Petro provinces and Big Oil are here, but they’re twiddling their thumbs in the corner 🦖
@AfterTheSands @LindaMcQuaig @MaudeBarlow @SethDKlein @avilewis “to truly reset our governing paradigm…We must keep foremost in mind that this is not a fight over individual policies. It is a contest for a new mindset—the idea that democratic governance must structure our economy toward the public good. “ why not call it #DonutEconomics ?
