Her name is Sarah Spanier. She’s brave. She deserves safety.

Newsom: I told the president, just get it over with. Arrest me. Move on. If you need someone’s head to scalp, then do it with me. But stop messing with these kids. Stop messing with four-year-olds. Kids in elementary school

I’m not of fan of Carney’s PR team. Don’t know who they are but I sense that they aren’t quite the right fit for the assignment.

This is so helpful.
I made a long video about the "someone's got to do it" memes, where they came from, what they're really saying, and what these posts reveal about collective trauma, political cynicism, our decaying faith in democratic institutions and so so much more. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXrj...

What about creating a batch of new Canadian national annual commemorative days to celebrate progressive wins? Like, birth of universal health care, first CPP benefit payment, constitutional recognition of inherent rights of Indigenous people, signing of Paris Accord. Lock in baseline pride.

Smith’s take over of health, vaccine policy, hospitals, allowing corporate money in politics and purporting to take control of land, infrastructure and municipal funding from Ottawa. This legislative suite is grotesque and kleptocratic. If this sounds extreme, Alberta can now sell hospitals
Braid: Separatism is a ruse; the real battle for autonomy is fought with UCP legislation
Braid: Separatism is a ruse. The Alberta UCP and Premier Danielle Smith are enacting autonomy law by law.

For those in Alberta, and Canada too, this is a most important Go Fund Me. The former CEO of Alberta Health Services was summarily fired by our horrible UCP government. Some details are in Athana's own words. #Ableg #Abpoli #Cdnpoli 1/2

If the o & g industry thinks that the feds are impairing their commercial free speech they are well able to protect themselves by bringing a Charter case to the Courts.
It is not the job of the GoA to protect a well-heeled industry - if they do so they assume the mantle of petrostate.

“In Carney we now have the world leader who knows more than any of his peers about climate change. And who knows roughly 20x as much about climate and energy economics as anyone else in power. He may turn out to be a truly crucial figure in the fight to turn the climate tide.” @nationalobserver.com
It's time to shift from relief to gratitude as Carney helps steer the climate transition
Danielle Smith's agitations and the insatiable fossil fuel industry's demands will make climate action difficult, but Canada's new prime minister brings the right qualifications — and will have plenty...

I literally held my breath when she said “and now to address the elephant in the room”. My heart jumped. I actually thought she was going to say “climate change”. Was she baiting people like me intentionally? youtube.com/watch?v=p5fz...

Why does CBC News continue to run headline stories featuring PP? What the heck? Is the Carney campaign really that much less newsworthy? Any attention is good attention and I sense this is making a difference out there.
