I say theoretically because there's no universe in which Mark Carney gives a single shit about the average middle-class Canadian, never mind the poorest and more marginalized in this place. He is gutting anything that could be used to make life more tolerable, to invest in oil, gas, guns, and AI.

Carney: the international order is dead, it was a convenient lie we all believed in that no longer serves us in this new and frightening world. we must take the world as it is, not as we wish it to be.

Also Carney: neoliberal austerity measures will definitely work this time. I am a serious person.

The fuck is this.

Our two largest parties are 1) actively cheering illegal kidnapping of a president and 2) acting like a kicked dog in the face of US aggression.

It’s pathetic cowardice, not leadership.

And this cowardice puts our country at risk.

We need actual options in the next election.

"We stand with Denmark, we stand with Greenland, our closest partnership is with the United States, and we'll work with everybody to make sure we move forward together"

Whenever I see my university campus (UofT), I feel so many complex emotions. Nostalgia, in part. Mostly regret & grief at who I could've been. Bitter, at opportunities squandered. Pride in my survival.

My ADHD diagnosis + gender transition healed long suffered wounds - but the scars remain.

I need to know how much wealth they produce before receiving any more public funding. In the same way we ask of the postal service. If they can't turn a profit then why are we funding them?
Some breaking news: in a special Vancouver Police Board meeting only announced over the weekend, the police board has requested a $50 million increase to their budget for 2026.

This comes as other departments across the city are trying to cut staff to ensure a property tax freeze for next year.

If crime is way down, why are Canadians so afraid of crime? And what are politicians funnelling money into? My latest -- they are boosting policing to police us ... not keep us safe (unless you're rich, which trust me, you are not.)

17 people are dead from US strikes in the Caribbean this month and we still don't really know who they are and so far the president and VP have made jokes about scared fishermen.
Trump brags to military leaders about his strikes on boats: "They don't want go fishing. I don't blame them. There will be no fishing today. It's amazing what strength will do."

@miawong.bsky.social The recent ICHH episode on Abundance and SEZs hit alarmingly close to home.

It's really hard to overstate how hugely favored conservatives were up until two months ago.

Here's the graph of Canadian polling between March 2023 and March 2025. (Reminder: blue is conservative.)

Those are months and months of 20+ point leads for Tories.
