“The NDP will start winning again because we will become that beacon to the 99%, illuminating the darkening sky of these terrifying times with the energizing light of collective struggle,” Avi Lewis says. It’s about coming together to build “a government that works for the many, not the money.”

I spoke to the Trudeau-era environment minister who resigned from cabinet under Carney. Steven Guilbeault has a warning about Carney’s latest environment-trampling proposals — ones he agrees would be worse than Harper’s. Here’s the latest on the plan that would “eviscerate” environmental laws:
Carney explicitly asked if about a red line for floor crossers he’d accept: “There’s a general sense of many in this country (..) how important it is to work together to build this country.” “If part of that is to be part of the government caucus, yes, you support the values of the Liberal Party.”
Today in the mainstreaming of far-right bullshit, let’s check in on the National Post and former Alberta Premier Jason Kenney. Because they are both going out of their way to defend and arguably boost an infamously racist book, The Camp of the Saints. Here’s what’s going on:
"A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” That is what U.S. President Donald Trump posted on Truth social this morning — a blatant threat to commit genocide in Iran. So how is Canada responding to that? Well, uh, it’s not great:
“We need (a government) that acts with moral clarity when it matters,” Avi Lewis says. “When missiles are falling on schools and hospitals, when Israel commits a genocide in Gaza, we call it by its name and we do everything in our power to bring it to an end.”
Canada has a Neo Nazi problem — but we actually just did something about one of them. A Canadian neo-nazi was just sentenced to 20 years in prison. As investigative journalist @petersmith.bsky.social helped me explain, this could be a big deal (and likely has other nazis shaking in their boots):
I need you to understand that there’s actually one very big reason making up a huge part of why everything sucks now: monopolies. Or, more accurately, oligopolies. That’s why so many people are excited about the Ticketmaster decision that just happened. But it’s the tip of the iceberg:
The separatists in Alberta apparently published a searchable database with the private information — including names and addresses — of almost three million people in Alberta. Holy fucking shit. For context, the population of Alberta is just over 5 million people. Here's what we know:
I thought I was going to report on Carney’s office being caught in a lie. But it’s turned into a story of a potentially hallucinated claim that led to a politician getting widely dunked on. Oh, and a female columnist who called out the error before it was corrected? She had *her* piece pulled:
What the hell is going on in Canadian media? Why was journalist Tina Yazdani — who was dogged in her coverage of Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s government — suddenly fired from CityNews without any explanation to the public? This is potential-major-press-freedom-story levels of concerning:
