How do you like them electoral apples?

That’s right folks: Canada elected a Liberal minority government, and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre lost the seat he’s held for more than two decades.

There’s a lot to talk about. Let’s dive in!

Yet another example of how private tech companies — not the government boogeyman — is the force in society most aggressively expanding the surveillance apparatus because it serves their bottom lines and gets justified as convenience.

It was a real pleasure to go back on @democracynow.org to talk about the Canadian election, the rightward shift of Canada’s tech industry, and Elon Musk’s first 100 days at DOGE.
Canada’s Liberal party was trailing the Conservatives in support until Trump's reelection, his trade war and threats to annex Canada.

People saw the “threats that [Donald Trump] was making against Canada, that this was not a time to allow the Conservative Party” into power, says @parismarx.com.

Build Canada is not a Canadian DOGE, it’s just supported by a load of tech executives who are on the record as saying Canada needs a DOGE.

Lmfao and then there's Canada Proud, just fuckin lighting the truth on FIRE about an attempted foreign influence campaign.

Security officials were EXTREMELY clear the effort included both positive and negative posts about Mark Carney in order to pollute the infosphere.

It’s the federal election campaign’s sweet sixteen(th day). Aw, they grow up so fast!

We’ve got tariff tough talk, pipeline promises, and — at last — a whiff of acknowledgement that our environment might be a tiny bit important:

Catching up on a few things I haven’t had a chance to clip yet — did you know Poilievre, speaking in French, called UNWRA terrorists and said he’d stop giving any funding to them????

Absolutely horrifying position given UNWRA’s integral role in providing humanitarian aid to the region.

This is the first quote I’ve seen pulled from my new book. When I wrote this over the course of the last ten years I didn’t realise it would be published with everything going on in the world today. Seems a bit uncanny. Thanks for loving the writing @tehlorkay.bsky.social
not to be dramatic but this is about to become my favorite book @scottishfolkmagic.bsky.social

Canada went from the world leader of trans rights and health care coverage to this, all because of the federal conservatives.

I'm going to be very honest: 2025 is not going to be a good year for trans people in Canada. The biggest reason? The federal Conservatives.
