@MaritStiles @avilewis Do you have anything to say to the Hamilton Center residents you disenfranchised because they had the same politics as Avi in 2023?
English
Congratulations to @avilewis, for being elected the new leader of Canada’s NDP! The Canada we’re fighting for lifts people up, brings people together, and builds a future for everyone. That’s what NDP oppositions fight for every day, and it’s what NDP governments deliver. Let’s get more MPPs, MLAs, MHAs and MPs elected – and more NDP governments – coast to coast to coast.

THIS JUST IN: Trump on Air Force One CONFIRMS our reporting re: plan to let Russian oil tanker unload in #Cuba. "We don't mind letting somebody get a boatload because they need it. They have to survive. If a country wants to send some oil into Cuba right now, I have no problem."

Avi’s grandfather had once told his father, “‘son, not in my lifetime, but maybe in yours.’”
“Recently, my dad told me the same thing: ‘not in my lifetime, maybe in yours,’” Avi shares.
“Well dad, I refuse to tell that to my kid. We cannot wait another generation. We’ve got to start winning now.”

The scale of Lewis’s victory confirms what I’ve long suspected. Yes, he’s mobilized lots of new people. But he’s always had plenty of support among longtime and normie New Democrats and really isn’t the “divisive” figure some have tried to cast him as.

It's grotesque how American political culture turns absolutely everything (TV shows, hobbies, religion, other countries, etc.) into fodder for an endless Schmittian political trench war.
Canada is designated "left". Therefore, American conservatives must performatively hate everything about Canada while American liberals must performatively praise everything about it. Neither view Canada as a real place with real people, but just a political theme park. It's either the Disney Castle or the Haunted Mansion depending on their ideology.
Obviously, the reality of Canada doesn't reflect either of these cartoonish hyperreal images. However, this serves as the axiom for most political discourse on the country. It has gotten to the point that Canadians now view their own country through this distorted Americanized lens.

Could you imagine the outrage from the likes of the Globe and Mail editorial page if the Chinese or Russian or Iranian ambassador spoke openly about limiting Canadians’ freedoms to achieve their foreign policy goals?

Only a revitalized Canadian left can offer a future away from Mark Carney’s politics, which promise progressivism while delivering austerity.

Why should anyone assume that this was an error? Especially considering the people with their fingers on the trigger keep insisting that they're fighting a war with no more "stupid" and "woke" rules of engagement?

NEWS: The Trump administration confirmed it bombed a girl’s school in Iran. It's one of the most devastating military errors in decades. Trump lied about it. Pete Hegseth gutted the office preventing civilian casualties. 175 are dead. Most were kids. Hegseth should be fired.

BREAKING: The Ford government is changing Ontario's Freedom Of Information act system, effectively gutting a tool journalists use to obtain documents related to government decision-making:
- The Premier, Ministers and their offices will all be excluded from the FOI system.
- This applies to all existing requests
- Only civil servants can be FOI'd
- The government is extending the response timeline from 30 calendar days to 45 business days.

Note the unequivocal language here. Canada's government can condemn Iranian strikes on civilian infrastructure but could not bring itself to condemn the United States when it double-tapped an elementary school and murdered nearly 200 children in broad daylight.
Mark Carney@MarkJCarney
I just spoke with President @EmmanuelMacron about the situation in the Middle East. We condemned Iran’s strikes against civilians and civilian infrastructure, and underscored the importance of opening secure access through the Strait of Hormuz. Canada supports efforts to safeguard international shipping and ensure freedom of navigation.

@wickdchiq @RabbiMivasair @hasanthehun @CBCNews He was at UBC doing a talk on US politics. CBC interviewed him while he was there, mostly about US politics. There was one brief digression about the Alberta separatist movement. He doesn't pretend to be well-informed on the subject.
English
This was the weirdest shit ever.
We have numerous left-wing political analysts and reporters in Canada, much less Alberta, so why is an American @hasanthehun being interviewed about Canadian politics? There is a fundamental cognitive dissonance at @cbcnews that will only grow
YEGWAVE@yegwave
CBC brought on Hasan Piker, a streamer from the USA, to discuss Alberta separatism.

PM Carney: you can and must categorically rule out participation in this illegal war.
Your unqualified support of Trump and Netanyahu’s war was bad enough. It’s unconscionable that you’re now considering putting Canadian forces in harm’s way.
And worse: hundreds of civilians have already been killed in the all-out bombardment of dense urban areas like Tehran.
Musing about sending Canadians to fight and die in this carnage is unreal. You’re talking about Canadians being asked to participate in likely war crimes.
No one voted for this!

PM Mark Carney on Canada participating in US military action in Iran: "One can never categorically rule out participation ... we will always defend Canadians. We will always stand by and defend our allies when called upon."

The huge backlash Carney has faced to Canada’s support for the US and Israel’s bombing of Iran is clearly having an impact. He is starting to backtrack but we need to push him much further to denounce this war & revoke all diplomatic and military support, including Canadian arms.

Asked about the illegality of the US-Israeli attack on Iran, Carney admits that “it appears that these actions are inconsistent with international law,” while simultaneously reaffirming that he supports it “in context.” This is not a principled foreign policy, it is a total mess.

Polymarket has created a market that would monetize a nuclear attack amid increasing concerns that bets are happening among government insiders who can make military decisions.

This is utterly incoherent.
What Canadians need to hear from our Prime Minister right now is simple: call for a ceasefire and immediately withdraw your misguided support for Trump and Netanyahu’s illegal war.
Canadians don’t want to be part of this axis of aggression and impunity, AI-targeted assassinations, and the blatant killing of civilians.
We want our country to be a voice for peace.

No one should be under any illusions here. Canada’s government is supporting, apparently without reservation, an illegal war of aggression initiated by Donald Trump, the neocons in his administration, and Israel. That’s it.
