Let’s be clear about the wildfires - endless logging and fossil fuel expansion have made this situation worse.

It's shameful to see politicians pushing for the expansion of logging and fossil fuels as we experience and witness this devastation. #wildfires #cdnpoli

Genuinely sociopathic behavior for western leaders to acknowledge how horrifying mass starvation is while they're arming Israel. Mark Carney and Keir Starmer even tried to pressure Emmanuel Macron NOT to recognize the State of Palestine.

They're all complicit in genocide

There is a staggering level of blasé naivety in Canada's media coverage of MAGA's attempt to destroy our country.
National Post and subsidiaries are American owned and totally onside.
CBC/ CTV are bending over backwards to be "fair" to Vichy Canada.

Mark Carney wants economic growth at any cost. To achieve it, he’s going after tech investment and pushing hard for AI adoption.

In the process, AI regulations are being thrown on the bonfire and tech harms are an afterthought. It’s a recipe for disaster.

Please consider signing this petition! Bill C-2 is horrifying, those of us who remember the Harper days are worried Carney is worse than him, and it's not hyperbole.
There's a petition to drop this bill in ourcommons that Canadians can sign. It takes like 2 seconds and is super easy.

We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to immediately withdraw Bill C-2 in full.

Another big fuck you to Liberal supporters too. You pretend to care but can’t even speak up against your leaders who are telling us we should all be Zionist like Trudeau did or when Carney called for a Zionist Palestinian state. You’re all a bunch of bigots.
Zionists, white supremacists of all political stripes and cowards who refused to speak out in Canada helped enable this. You all have blood on your hands too. May your god have mercy on your souls.

Mark Carney promised “elbows up” against the US, but he’s offering a warm embrace to US tech companies and the AI hype they’ve unleashed.

As Canada’s AI minister suggests AI regulation is off the table, there’s ample reason to be worried about Carney’s tech agenda.

This could very easily happen here in Canada. Carney is buddies with Starmer, and they're both falling in line with trump. But he's not making them turn fascist, it's what they are. And frankly I'm more afraid of what intelligent conmen can do with fascist powers than ol' mushbrain trump. #cdnpoli
