“We need to start proposing solutions that are actually going to make people go ‘that’s right,’” Avi says.

He gives the example of Stellantis moving auto production to the U.S.

“Fine, bye. We’re going to keep that factory and all the machines that we paid for and run it under public ownership.”

When Maria Farmer described her meeting with Epstein and Trump, Epstein’s comments to Trump “She’s not for you” implies sometimes they are for Trump.

This is stone cold creepy.

Release the Epstein Files and let the truth out! Justice for the survivors!

All caring and intelligent Canadians should stop visiting the USA. It's dangerous, and you might get detained.
The international boycott on the US under Trump continues. We call on our international allies to continue boycotting the United States. Canada alone has reduced alcohol purchases by 85%.

The US is welcome to join us by launching a general strike. #3E #BoycottUSA

This is America while Trump is building a ballroom.

This is the headline image that should be running non-stop.

In Canada, top 1% of wealth holders hold 24% of total wealth.
Meanwhile, PM Carney has an ‘austerity budget’, which will impact the disadvantaged.
Patriotic Millionaires Canada, which I am a board member of, estimated that a 3% tax on wealth over $100-million could raise $25-billion annually.

Police brutality can't solve problems or create safety. This is an indicator that Carney anticipates unrest as a result of his anti-Canadian austerity policies.

Safety comes from meeting people's needs and reducing inequality, which will not be in Carney's budget.

In the past 24 hours, Mark Carney has promised to boost the number of security agents (RCMP + CBSA) by 2000.

Has a single journalist talked with @sandela.bsky.social or Robyn Maynard about what this means for canadian society?

My only priority right now is for the NDP to be able to vote against an austerity budget without having to collapse the government, so pls, Chong and two other randos, join Carney

✅ Highest wealth inequality ever recorded in Canadian history

✅ Highest unemployment in a decade

✅ Highest food insecurity in Canadian recorded history

You are being gaslit.


Mark Carney and our Liberal government will make generational investments to:

✅ Protect our communities, our borders, our way of life
✅ Build a stronger economy where everyone has a chance to get ahead
✅ Empower Canadians with new opportunities and a lower cost of living

Doesn't sound unreasonable.

"Interim NDP leader Don Davies, meanwhile, has not made any specific demands for Carney, but has said his party would not vote for an 'austerity' budget and called for 'substantial investment' in jobs, health care and housing."

Carney government ‘worried’ its budget won’t pass, triggering a federal election
The minority Liberal government must find another party to support their budget, or Canadians will be going back to the polls.

Poilievre is a privileged individual whose every need from chauffeurs, to maids, chefs, housing etc. is paid for by Canadians.

He is asking Carney for broad tax cuts and deep spending cuts.

None of his austerity ideology would affect his life, just OUR lives.

Ontario NDP blame the Tory government for more losses in the forestry sector after Interfor curtails operations at its mill in Gogama, Ont. The company says it is temporarily adjusting all Canada-U.S. lumber production due to economic uncertainty.

It's like they're just waiting for people to get tired of Ford all on their own. And it's not just the NDP, the LPO did it too. But the LPO keeps leaving a big vacuum for the NDP to step into, and the NDP just doesn't.
