War crime after war crime after war crime. Israel's impunity must end! Canada and other nations must apply sanctions and arrest those for whom the ICC has issued warrants.

Standing by, doing nothing, is what happened in 1939. International humanitarian law matters!

9th Circuit Stops California From Requiring ICE Agents To Unmask And Wear Visible ID 9th Circuit grants injunction blocking CA’s No Vigilantes Act (SB 805) requiring federal officers including ICE to display visible ID.

Good morning! Another day, another development that makes the US more frightening, dangerous, and authoritarian.

Unless you have a very good reason, do not travel to the US anymore.

Apple is not without its problems as a feudal tech behemoth, but they are far above their peers in regards to security and privacy.

Does Carney’s Gas Tax Cut Send the Wrong Signals? | The Tyee Experts warn that suspending Canada’s fuel tax offers limited, ill-targeted relief.

Great coverage by @zoeyunker.bsky.social for @thetyee.ca on the shortcomings of Ottawa's 10¢ gas tax holiday as a solution to the current oil price shock: thetyee.ca/News/2026/04.... My take: “The big problem not only hasn’t been solved; it hasn’t even been properly identified.” #cdnecon #canlab

Few countries have the renewable energy potential of #Canada yet most of our governments seem stuck in a petro state mindset, looking backwards not ahead

also nobody panic

Last guest, best guest! Looking forward to hearing this live convo with @rachelgilmore.bsky.social and @avilewis.ca

France announces ban on gas boilers in new buildings starting in 2027 French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu also announced on Friday a doubling of support for electrification by 2030, from €5.5 billion to €10 billion annually.

VERY BIG NEWS out of France a week ago:
"French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu announced on Friday, April 10, a ban on installing gas heating systems "by year's end" in new buildings, including multi-unit housing, to curb France's dependence on fossil fuels."

Apple is closing its first unionized store in the country.

Reminder that Apple spent $700B+ on stock buybacks over the past decade.

CEO Tim Cook raked in over $74M in compensation in 2025 — 650 times the median Apple employee's pay.

The greed of union-busters knows no end.

Yes, THAT David Lewis.

“The government and big business are both holding hands — in your pocket.”

from the position of an LPC candidate or volunteer who in 2025 campaigned against public sector service and job cuts, cuts to CBC and Canadian culture, participating in Trump’s golden dome or the f-35 program… there’s not much centrist about the current governments right wing agenda.

Today, the Liberals rejected our NDP motion to ban surveillance pricing - a dystopian practice that will drive up costs for Canadians if we allow it to take root.

The NDP is the only party fighting to protect you from getting ripped off at the checkout.

Mark Carney is governing like a right winger — but Liberals are giving him a pass YouTube video by The Breach

From the floor of the LPC convention, @breachmedia.ca has some interesting conversations with delegates, staffers and MPs about the government’s continuing rightward-lurch. 🍿 🇨🇦

Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs.

Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026.

This is what corporate greed looks like.

So glad to have your leadership in the House, @donvdavies.bsky.social.

Even while Lib/Con obstruction of the tech protections we need continues with a new fervour, we’ve got your back. 🇨🇦

“Quick! Let’s put a stop to this by defunding the CBC that discovered the crimes and the CFIA that’s responsible for it inspecting grocers!”

^ The mayor we all deserve

After *choosing* to cut $5 Billion from the long-promised-not-delivered Permanent Public Transit Fund, he now *chooses* to subsidize gasoline companies by more than $2 Billion.

He makes choices, Canada’s urban communities have not asked for this, but will bear the load of those choices.

I don’t see that coming from the right-wing parties either - but it _never_ will if we don’t get the idea into the conversation, at least.

And you’re right about alternatives, as Mayor @pjnewwest.bsky.social points out here

The sooner you realize that Mark Carney sees Canada less as a nation filled with humans and more a series of resources to sell off to the highest bidder the sooner it all makes sense

Mark Carney is giving $925 million in tax breaks to the AI industry

also, the dude in the umbrella behind me was on a call speaking spanish. just so happy to live in a global and open city

After a week away in 30°C+ heat, what a joy to be back in blossomy, rainy Vancouver.

Carney is cutting $80 million a year from the food inspection agency that should have stopped this… while cutting $192 million from our public broadcaster who investigated and exposed it!

easy to be furious at the executives leading these operations - but it’s illegal, profitable, and consequence-free! why wouldn’t this practice continue?
