How does everyone feel about Mechahitler creating a personalized disinformation feed just for you? Bye bye heuristics, hello even more fascist normalization by any means possible. theverge.com/news/802480/x-…

@MarkJCarney Carney will "fight climate change" by putting more fossil fuels at the top of his list of major projects after ramming through legislation to explicitly help major projects ignore environmental laws, climate warnings be damned. ccpi.org

Canadians care about the world and we care about each other. So we’re going to fight climate change and build a stronger, more competitive economy – together.

@ClimateDad77 Lobbying is the most lucrative investment in history, with a 150,000% rate of return in favourable policy, special tax breaks, lucrative government contracts, or even retroactive immunity to the law. That kind of cheddar buys an awful lot of lobbyists. facebook.com/photo/?fbid=54…

Why are fossil fuel companies allowed to profit at all? Why aren’t they being forced to pump their $2,500,000,000 DAILY PROFITS into rapid decarbonization? Why aren’t all those who subverted the truth about this genocidal industry for 40 years in prison? Genuine questions.

As Canada watches US media collude with the Trump regime & increasingly silence every voice critical of fascism, Canucks need to remember that the majority of "Canadian" media has been foreign controlled since Stephen Harper was in the PMO.

@avilewis I don't consider it a "significant" fine when the price for breaking the law is no more than one tenth of the profits gained by doing so and no executive is inconvenienced. A genuinely significant fine is greater than the profit gained through the initial wrongdoing.

We paid $4 to $5 billion in illegally fixed prices for BREAD? Criminal charges would send a much clearer message to the Grocery Barons than a settlement (even though it's a significant one for once). Or how about breaking up the corporate clubs that price gouge, collude and control every sector of our economy? Broken systems need systemic solutions. #cdnpoli

@WordsmithJenn Vance & other monsters who Trump installed in various positions of power share his hateful ideology, but lack his inability to focus and utter lack of even momentary self control. Trump's absence will mean less random chaos, but more rapid escalation of fascism.

But if #DonaldTrump is dead, we will still be stuck with JD Vance as President and he is no better. He might be worse. He's a moron.

@cspotweet On campaign: "Elbows up!" After election: elbows down see also On campaign: public services budget will go up by no more than 2% with no job losses After election: 15% cut, tens of thousands of jobs to get the axe

Mark Carney is asked what he says to critics who says the tariff news is "elbows down". Says there are times in a game when you go hard in the corners elbows up, drop the gloves in the first period to send a message, and there's a time when you want to put the puck into the next

@Tori_TLCR "Binding arbitration" = "You'll keep right on doing all that unpaid work and shut up about it without inconveniencing anyone with talk of your labour rights."

The Liberals, much like the Conservatives have seldom met a piece of back-to-work legislation they didn't like. Economies are built off worker labour from the ground up but our rights will always take a backseat to corporate profits under the Liberals and the Conservatives.

In the name of fighting censorship, the Trump administration is shaping digital ecosystems to favor its preferred narratives while chilling dissent. It is a form of soft epistemic authoritarianism—and we all (I hope) know what comes next.

@kim_siever The tools we use to measure in our economy, with GDP topping the list, are precisely the wrong ones for the job, and play a large role in why our economy is steering towards a cliff while we're all being gaslit about it being good news. sustainablesong.medium.com/credit-score-a…

This is not the win people think it is. GDP is the monetary value of what is produced in the economy. All this graph shows is that the value of all that is produced in the global economy has increased exponentially per person. Everything costs more per person? So?

@BestStephenD @MarkJCarney @liberal_party "Pre-election, the Liberals promised to “never” compromise women’s rights in Canada. Now the government is talking about cuts so deep that they will exceed those that laid waste to the women’s sector during the Harper years." policyalternatives.ca/news-research/…

@BestStephenD @MarkJCarney @liberal_party Before election: "We support pharmacare, we'll better fund CBC, public service budgets will rise 2%" After election: "We won't fund pharmacare, CBC has to make cuts, Public service budgets drop 15%" Just about every damned part of the LPC platform was pure bait & switch.

Seems that under the @MarkJCarney @liberal_party government we have two classes of Canadians: first class Canadians who have pharmacare and second class Canadians who don't. ctvnews.ca/montreal/artic…

@globalnews In the middle of the worst cost of living crisis in generations, the new federal government has repeatedly prioritized benefits to the already very rich. There is absolutely no way a recession's avoidable, but they only care that it doesn't hurt the rich.

Is Canada headed for a recession? A lot is riding on if Canada and the U.S. can reach a trade deal this week, economists say. globalnews.ca/news/11309290/…

@brianlilley It couldn't be more dishonest to call this guy a "Christian singer" when the actual biblical Christ would find his political views so thoroughly repellent he'd puke. If you check your bible you'll find that Christ was pro immigrant and pro tolerance and opposed hateful shit.

CBC started a holy war this week over a Christian singer with political views they don’t like. CBC pushes left-wing values in effort to cancel Christian singer | Toronto Sun torontosun.com/opinion/column…

@MrJoKeR604 It's interesting to see this guy endlessly labelled a "Christian singer" when his immigrant-hating intolerant views would make the biblical Christ puke his guts out.

99% of Canadians enjoying their summer, have no idea who this MAGA fake Christian grifter is. Brian Lilley: HOLY WAR IN CANADA!! Brian and hyperbole go to together like PB and J.

@LauraBabcock And yet approval of Poilievre's policies has reached an enormous high as long as they're being delivered by Mark Carney. So Poilievre's actual agenda wasn't the problem?

Finally some good news

@roadguy0513 And yet, Mark Carney is delivering all of the planks of Poilievre's platform anyway, from new pipelines & killing the carbon tax to increasing inequality by prioritizing the rich to following Trump's lead to attacking immigrants & citizen rights. So only the sign colour matters?

I was thinking of leaving Canada but then Pierre Poilievre lost the election.

@SquirrelyWorld @Lefty_Mind This isn't tax cuts for the rich. Except when it clearly is. policyalternatives.ca/news-research/… Repeatedly. pbo-dpb.ca/en/publication…

@Lefty_Mind This isn’t trickle down economics this is not tax cuts for the rich, it’s paring down spending to bring our country wide budget into alignment for prosperity and growth on a macro scale with less inherited risks.

@Smith4Gm @Lefty_Mind This graph brought to you by people who want you to pretend that trying to survive on $2.01 per day somehow doesn't count as poverty. While also wanting us to pretend that the current highest level of inequality in our country's history is totally fine. r.pebmac.ca/https://www.cb…

@SVeteikis @kim_siever @liberal_party It's not "pragmatic" to cheerlead for Carney to cook the climate follow Trump's lead in the Middle East support Israel's war crimes magnify inequality violate citizen privacy reduce transparency decide when environmental laws shouldn't apply attack immigrants deliver austerity

@kim_siever I'm not in denial...I'm pragmatic. Our country is being economically bullied, we got to choose who would defend us. A shift to stronger defense is smart. I do not believe @liberal_party are gleefully engineering a collapse of public healthcare.

If this week is any indication, I will probably be losing a bunch of liberal followers while Carney is in office.
