The Constitution left us a safeguard for moments when premiers push too far.

The question is: Does the federal government have the courage to use it?

With a Trudeau-era environment minister resigning from Carney’s cabinet in protest, we’re asking the question: has Mark Carney betrayed the climate movement? Or is he playing a strategic long game that aims for an environmental win?

Grateful to the team at @newpublic.org for this thoughtful convo on how (and why) we're building Gander Social:

rethinking digital infrastructure, public spaces, and how shared values can shape better online experiences.

And, you know, building an app people actually feel good about using.
What would a 100% Canadian social media platform look like?

The team at @gandersocial.bsky.social is about to find out. By giving Canadians control over their data, their feeds, and more, they’re hoping to offer a viable alternative for American social media.

As I’m reading all the articles that PP is in trouble, I surely hope that nobody is letting their guard down until he is truly 6 feet under (politically, not literally)
At this point there doesn’t seem to be a better option in the CPC.

"It is that time again. Time to wonder: Why do we turn the clocks forward and backward twice a year" #cdnpoli #nbpoli
An Indigenous approach shows how changing the clocks for daylight saving time runs counter to human nature – and nature itself
While the rest of nature rises and slumbers to lunar and solar cycles, humans work and sleep to the resetting of their artificial clocks.

Just watch this. Sound up.
We are in a NATIONAL crisis.
A decency crisis.
A crisis where politicians we’re paying top dollar to are nothing but memes and crisis actors for a minority in echo chambers.
We need a NATIONAL movement to return DECENCY and DUTY to politics.
