Why is Poilievre still refusing a basic national security clearance? CSIS has warned about foreign interference tied to his leadership bid, yet he stays silent, then cheers Trump kidnapping Venezuela’s president. What’s he hiding? Who holds leaders accountable if CBC is gone?

Canadian conservatives applauding a U.S. president for breaking international law tells us all we need to know about how the rule of law would fair in Canada under their governance.

I love their line about how the separatist petition will “invite foreign interference”.
Because it will *absolutely* do so. And the Maple MAGA idiots will gleefully accept it.

MAGA premier Danielle "DONBAS" SMITH wrote legislation making it illegal for the courts to question the constitutionality of a referendum to break up our country.
She forgets her legislature sits on treaty land.
Mic drop moment.

It would be nice if Canadian journalists started asking our politicians why they continue to use X despite all of the CSAM and fascism, but a lot of Canadian journalists still use it, too.

It is time for every citizen of good faith and good conscience to get off X.
I am not sure how you can justify contributions to a website that publishes sexualized images of children.
I think it’s time to start naming and shaming those who donate their time to give free content to Elon’s X.

It's well past time for Canadian government officials to get off of X, @jameswsthomson.com writes. This latest — disgusting — incident is just one more reason.
Canadian government officials, what are you still doing on X in 2026?

Many don't realize that the most vulnerable or immune compromised depend on the rest getting vaccinated properly to keep diseases from spreading out of control. It's not just “my body, my choice” when it comes to saving lives.

Enormous amount of evidence that UBI programs work. The opposition they face is overwhelmingly ideological, not practical. Ask your reps why they won't follow hard empirical evidence.
I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Universal Basic Income since 2013. Here's a collection of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments and studies of cash transfer programs around the world.
This will be a VERY LONG and ongoing thread focused entirely on empirical evidence. 🧵

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.

I’m Canadian. Apparently my life is bad. In reality, I have:
- Vaccines.
- Clean tap water.
- Public transport.
- Enforceable rights.
- Food safety as a baseline.
- Healthcare that doesn’t lead to bankruptcy.
And I don’t need to carry a concealed weapon to walk my dogs.

3yrs ago I didn’t think the coming together of AI and robotics would be happening this quickly.
The robots appeared to be far behind AI. However it looks like they are gaining ground exponentially fast.
I was thinking we had 20-25yrs now I’m thinking 5-10.
Universal Basic Income is needed NOW

Good thing CBC reports the reality, not the rage.
