The only conclusion I can pull out of Carney’s Budget 2026 is one of militarisation and bolstering the economy….. of rich people. Perhaps the only thing I see here that’ll benefit everyone will be high speed rail.

Canadians deserve better than U.S.-made F-35s.

At 2 a.m., the Alberta legislature passed a bill that will force 51,000 teachers back to work, impose a four-year contract and use the notwithstanding clause to stave off a legal challenge and suspend teacher bargaining at the local level. It includes fines for Ts and the ATA if they defy it. #AbLeg

The UCP using the notwithstanding clause to order striking teachers back to work should be seen as a violent attack on the rights of Albertans and all labour.

Yes, speed cameras are a tax grab. They're a tax on people who are breaking the law.

Canada’s Liberals hate unions.

It took them less than 13 hours for @pattyhajdu.bsky.social to force arbitration upon Air Canada flight attendants— the very same people currently facing dozens of hours of *unpaid work* every month— and resubjecting them to these same working conditions.

If companies know that the government will union-bust for them, they won’t even need to consider bargaining in good faith anymore.

Oh, how much has Air Canada fallen (from once being a publicly, federally-owned corporation).

Shame on this government. Shame.

The Sun is trash, but it’s undeniable that Carney is doing whatever Trump tells him to
Are you fucking KIDDING me??

One of Canada’s largest MAGA owned papers isn’t even to be subtle with this disgusting un-patriotic false headline right before #CanadaDay2025

Don’t buy the Sun or any media owned by America.

We must protect our sovereignty. #Cndpoli 🇨🇦💪🏻

A cowardly move by Mark Carney that shows Donald Trump his government can be pushed around and pressured into concessions in ongoing trade talks.

And finally, a special mention to the CBC. I often criticize their content (especially Alberta's pro-Fossil Fuel leanings) but I absolutely think their existence is essential to the Canadian landscape.
You already support them financially through your taxes, now support them electorally.

The United States has declared economic war on some of its closest allies and Silicon Valley is itching to use the power of the state to defend its interests at all costs.

It’s time for an alliance not just to combat US belligerence, but to build a different vision for tech.
