With Canadians distracted by Trump and Carney, Doug Ford is launching an all-out assault on the environment. We have 4 days to stop him – sign and share:

Stop Doug Ford's Secret Plan to Kill Endangered Species
“Bill 5” would gut Ontario’s Endangered Species Act, and give Doug Ford the power to greenlight mines, highways, and clearcuts with zero oversight. And let big developers get environmental approvals j

My latest, on the Signal affair: "They really think they can just brazen this out. And the worst part of it is, they might be right."

Opinion: There won’t be a price to pay for imperilling U.S. security on Signal

The whole thing – the contempt for rules, the disdain for allies, the recklessness, the sheer incompetence – adds up to a composite portrait of the Trump administration at work

Worth a look
Someone like Donald #Trump is the inevitable outcome of the US's winner-take-all electoral system. #Canada also has a winner-take-all electoral system. Now is the time to change it.

Just launched, my latest deep-dive on electoral reform, with help from @fairvote.ca

And this kind of response by Nenshi drives people away from the NDP over their commitment or lack thereof to fighting climate change
Good lord. I expected better from you. MOST PEOPLE WERE FINANCIALLY BETTER OFF AFTER THE CARBON PRICE REBATE THAN WITHOUT IT.
The removal of the consumer carbon tax is good news for Albertans.

The federal government has mismanaged this tax for so long that it has lost all credibility with citizens. And the removal will help many people in the midst of a cost-of-living crisis under this UCP government.

It's worth noting that @kayabagaarielle.bsky.social was one of 39 MPs to vote in favour of a Citizen's Assembly on Electoral Reform in 2023.

The new Liberal government should support a Citizen's Assembly so that there are no more conflicts of interest in who decides how MPs are elected.

Congratulations @kayabagaarielle.bsky.social on your new role as Minister of Democratic Institutions!

We urge you to make electoral reform a priority—Canada needs proportional representation for a fairer, more representative democracy.

It's time for proportional representation!

Only 43% of Ontario voters supported Doug Ford's PCs, yet the voting system has given them 64.5 % of the seats and 100% of the power.

🚨 What if you never had to vote strategically or waste your vote again?

The @ontariogreens.bsky.social want a Citizens Assembly on electoral reform to replace first-past-the-post with a system where every vote truly matters.

It’s time to build a democracy that works for everyone!
