If #BillC5 passes as-is it would be a HUGE gift to Big Oil 🚨 With climate-supercharged wildfires raging across Canada, that's the last thing we need. Tell your MP to take action now: win.newmode.net/350org/c5

The Trump admin made a secret deal to no longer enforce the ban on forced reset triggers (FRTs), which basically let people convert a normal gun into an automatic weapon. And they will return weapons with FRTs that they previously seized to the owners.

It’s a death cult.

Please read. We hoped that one of the many members of the Bluesky community from Gaza could be first to share this letter, but we were worried that their account would get taken down if they did. This letter is for

We need to enhance democracy in Canada; proportional representation is a key step in doing that.
The case for proportional representation is undeniable.

CTV reports on how our democracy distorting voting system fuels regional divisions, and how proportional representation can fix it.

@mark-carney.bsky.social, will you champion a system where every vote truly counts?

Socialism is what they called public power. 

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

The world watched Canada's election closely. We are on the front lines of the fight to defend the rule of law.
Our nation needs to step up for the big picture and not squander this moment with squabbles and partisan turf wars.
Here is my latest reflection.

A quarter-century ago, when the United States was attacked by Islamist terrorists on 11 September 2001, the editor of Le Monde wrote a famous banner headline: ‘We are all Americans!’

I have spent time with eight of these people, most of them in previous elections. Each of those eight are stellar advocates for Canadians.

I also trust Leadnow.

These people are solid. Vote for them! If you don't live in their ridings, donate to their campaigns!
Everyday people are getting a crap deal, and we all know it.

Can confirm! If you haven't voted already, check out these candidates endorsed by Leadnow. Let's say NO to toxic politics, foreign interference and undemocratic policies that hurt 🇨🇦.

It is truly incomprehensible to me that 🇨🇦 does not elect more politicians like Charlie Angus who genuinely care about serving the community. Politicians that prioritize what is right, not what big business lobbies for.

Thank you Charlie Angus for all your amazing work as an MP and inspiring others.
I am in Ottawa closing down my office.
It has been an incredible honour serving the people of the north for 21 years.
But the fight goes on. The resistance takes new forms.
Stay tuned.
I ain't going anywhere. Just shedding my snakeskin.
See you on the barricades.

So honoured to have been selected by Lead Now as a 2025 Raise the Bar Champion (visit leadnow.ca to learn more).

And completely delighted to meet the Lead Now team outside the Old Strathcona Farmers Market this afternoon. All my favourite things - social justice, local food & the coolest folks. 🥰🧡

Trump's attack on universities and students is a modern case of fascist book burning.
Poilievre vows that if elected he too will target scientific research and cut funding to "woke" universities.
Read my latest on the fascist playbook.
