To anyone interested in the NDP Leadership Race, keep a tab on Tony & Tanille's stream. They have some great guests on there, and it's always good to hear their insights.

I am supporting Avi Lewis, but thankfully, this is a ranked ballot! We need to see them in the race.

We need a wartime-level in public housing, from coast to coast.

Talk about generating high-paying jobs, that's a way to do it.
Today is National Housing Day. I write this from Vancouver, one of Canada’s wealthiest cities, and where homelessness reached an all-time high this year.

It wasn’t always this way. Canada has a massive deficit of affordable public housing, ever since Liberal governments slashed funding in the 90s.

Oh great! The BC NDP is using Premier Eby's questionable "82% support" from convention (Look at the price of delegate fees, and it makes sense) as an excuse to backslide on climate policy. Not shocking, but really such a shame.

Will they invest in reliable public transit as an alternative? #bcpoli

I am frequently left dissatisfied with the #5 & #6. These busses are so slow and infrequent that they need to be studied.

A dense urban community like the West End needs PROPER Rapid Transit, like a RapidBus, Street Cars, or a SkyTrain extension. #vancouver #vanpoli #bcpoli

Just got off the organizing call for @avilewis.ca, and this is the first time I’ve been excited about a politician since Jack Layton. Avi is the real deal and is bringing back the federal NDP to their roots. It’s about time #CdnPoli #NDPLeadershipRace #NDP #AviLewis

THIS is how you write a sports tweet. Very impressive.

1/ My Blue Jays: A socialist reverie…

My Dad took me to the first Blue Jays game in 1977. It was so cold in Exhibition Stadium (“The Mistake by the Lake”) that asses were freezing to the aluminum bleachers.

It snowed, people left. We stayed, the Jays won!

THIS is how you stand up to fascism. Leftist populism is the way forward. Zack explains his plan easily and effectively counters many common arguments before they can even be raised. Something exciting is happening with the global left, despite its bleak outlook.

The Denver Nuggets pushed through an absolute stinker of a game in Vancouver against the Toronto Raptors, including a full 4th quarter of garbage time.

Lots of Nuggets Nation here though! Love to see it. #NBACanadaSeries #MileHighBasketball #NBA

Nuggets Nation is watching a Jacksonville Jaguars vs Kansas City Chiefs MNF game instead of the NBA Canada Series... 🤦‍♂️🥲

Understandable tbh.

Getting to work or school everyday shouldn’t be the Hunger Games. That’s why I was proud to join UBC staff and students at their rally demanding that the UBC Skytrain finally be built.

The federal government needs to step up and start funding public transit like the vital public service it is.

Something that people need to hear today. Reconciliation means action, not empty words.
While the Carney government sweeps aside Indigenous rights for "nation-building projects," it's worth remembering what the law actually says.

Reconciliation can't be performance while communities lack basic safety and justice.

Good for Moldova! While I have problems with the EU in many ways, membership will benefit them more than harm by uniting with their Romanian cousins while preserving sovereignty and bringing much-needed funds for infrastructure. 🇲🇩🇪🇺

I just watched Heather McPherson's campaign launch, which reminded me a lot of a Jagmeet Singh speech (AKA a lot of leftist nothings). If I have to hear this kind of uninspiring speech on a federal campaign trail, I'm going to crash out.

The Brazilian Senate reminds us that it's important to have an upper chamber with a spine.

Absolutely nuts that’s such an evil bill would pass through the Chamber of Deputies in the first place, but if this were Canada, our useless senators would rubberstamp it in a heartbeat.

VOTOU CONTRA A PEC DA BLINDAGEM! ❌⚖️

Hoje foi dia de dizer NÃO a essa PEC que representava um grave retrocesso para o Brasil.

A PEC da Blindagem queria travar investigações, ressuscitar o voto secreto e blindar parlamentares que cometessem crime.

O povo brasileiro não aceita

MASSIVE CONGRATS TO @emilylowan.bsky.social OMG!!! INSHALLAH SHE'S OUR NEXT PREMIER!

This is such a special opportunity she has with the BC Greens' current position in parliament. It's a breath of fresh air that British Columbians will finally have a strong progressive option.
BC Greens have a new leader - Emily Lowan has won on the first ballot with 60%

She turned 25 last week

This is a huge win #BCpoli

Best of luck to @emilylowan.bsky.social today! I feel like something big is on the horizon in BC politics.

A bit late, but I just came across this informative interview with the Governor of Espírito Santo, Renato Casagrande, about the impact that Donald Trump's unjust 50% tariffs on Brazil (on top of existing ones) have on the Capixaba economy.

Rising side FC Rapid București have taken a 2-1 upset to FC Hermannstadt at home, and dropped to 4th in the Romanian SuperLiga on Sunday.

The collapse started late, in the 77th minute with a goal from Sergiu Bus.
