What does the green party stand for at this point? The budget is a huge boom climate change and cuts social programs, tramples on Indigenous rights, not to mention fuels the military and RCMP to dangerous new heights
BREAKING: Green Party Leader Elizabeth has confirmed that, due to the assurances she received from the prime minister regarding Canada's climate targets during QP today, she WILL support the budget.

The Liberals only need one more "yes" vote to avoid an election.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Not sure what kind of plaudits Carney is expecting for bragging that asylum claims are down.

It's grotesque. Ghoulish. Trumpian.

You can’t reboot the planet if you crash it
What Gates is putting forward aren’t legitimate arguments that can be made in good faith. They are shopworn fossil fuel industry talking points.

I did this, took like 30 min.
Points I kept hammering: domestic cloud, regulations around copyright and likeness rights, focusing on machine learning with concrete, real world uses (creating new drugs, etc), the damage done by slop, the need to listen to AI experts who are realists, not boosters.

Hey Americans this guy is on Trump's side. He sees what Trump is doing and he's doing his best impersonation.

Canada is not a safe place to flee to.
Canada’s new government is relentlessly focused on protecting our communities, our border, and our country.
 
We’re hiring 1,000 new Canada Border Services Agency personnel and making big changes that will attract and retain this next wave of highly trained border officers.

Ever since Mark Carney made that remark about it being "a problem" that the public service is Canada's #1 employer, I've suspected he actively resents social welfare as a concept, and on a level not seen since Mulroney.
I hate neoliberal economics man. We all work harder and harder for less and less every goddamned year, only to be told because we're not paying the government back enough, they have to claw back the meagre supports we have left, while the ownership class laughs all the way to the bank.

I am begging Canadians to understand that Canada Post, like public transit, should not be a business - it's a service.

Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.
The government is reducing service standards and Canada Post’s biggest advantage: its nationwide network.

This plan is about cutting back the postal service instead of investing to give it new revenue tools through things like postal banking. It’s shameful.

LNG Canada Phase 2 is the largest project in Carney's first batch of major projects and would double export capacity at the site. I'd bet Ottawa forks over some cash to make it happen — Carney suggested the Major Projects Office would consider that.

ATTN FELLOW CANADIANS:

An actual MP has created a petition to stop financial discrimination against adult creators by payment processors. You have to confirm your email but thats because its something that can actually be shown to parliament.
Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators.
