There are a lot of questions about what we can and can’t support.

Here’s an answer to one question I’ve been getting a lot.

Tomorrow on stream I'll be going through the Lib's budget.

The plan is to read/make notes on it at lunch.

Is there something specific about the budget you want me to cover/pay more attention to? What would you like to hear me cover tomorrow?

Let me know!

Yeah, I kind of realized that after I tweeted it.

Anyway, I actually wrote a piece about how the Nazis were most definitely not socialist: voxsocialism.wixsite.com/blog/post/na...

Better start using the notwithstanding clause like it's a fire sale.

Recall? Notwithstanding Clause!

Fixed election date? Notwithstanding Clause!

Burger has pickles on it? Notwithstanding Clause!

Does this new “technology innovation” include punting good Canadian jobs in favor of AI?

Does “empowering Canadians” involve the gov’t not releasing $4 billion for healthcare wile Brookfield gets away with not paying over $5 billion in Canadian taxes?

You know what kind of tax scheme would benefit Canadian's the most? 90% on anything over $1 million.

You know what would ensure every Canadian has a house? Social housing.

Keep the word “union” out of your mouth, you Section 107-loving ghoul.

New awareness campaign
A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? You’re prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

When I run for PM under the newly revived CCF party (hell yeah I'm bringing it back!), I'll make union busting illegal.

An article I wrote over the weekend for @abworker.bsky.social

Edmonton construction firm accused of unionbusting

The employer has told workers that they will lose work and receive pay cuts if they unionize.

If you were to go to Twitch and watch someone's stream, what content would you be looking for?

Any info helps!

Hey all,

I’m trying to get a more steady audience for my Twitch streams and I wanted to get your thoughts on what I could do that would get you to tune in.

Is there specific content you’d like to see? What would you like to see that would get you to tune in on a regular basis?

Thanks!

Howdy my peeps!

I hate to ask here, but I'm kind of out of places I can ask for help, so here we are.

I need to refill my medications, but my budget got screwed up and now I'm broke until the 15th.

I just need $60 to cover my meds.

And! I can pay you back on the 15th, no problem.
