Because lawless ICE goons are harassing, arresting, and murdering people who are citizens, you idiot.
The War on Cars is coming to Toronto, and they've brought reinforcements.

Disgusting take and policy. I met a refugee in downtown Toronto with trench foot — a WWI disease — that he contracted while living unsheltered in the rain. Refugees are not why the system is failing; they're the people we have failed and are now scapegoating. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...
Canadian friends: today is *the very last day* to buy a membership in the NDP and have a say in who the party's next leader will be.
Only members can vote in March.
On climate and economic justice, we need a strong third party.
Don't sit it out!

Thanks!! And apparently getting COLDER for the end of the week! 🥶
Not crazy to think that at some point it’ll be illegal to (not) have one installed.

Infographic titled “A tale of two elections” comparing the 1996 and 2001 British Columbia elections. Pie charts show vote share versus seat share. In 1996, the Liberals won more votes but the NDP won more seats. In 2001, the Liberals won 58% of votes and 98% of seats. Text explains this distortion led to calls for proportional representation.
In 1996, the party with fewer votes formed government.
In 2001, 58% of the vote produced 98% of the seats.
British Columbia has lived with first-past-the-post distortion for decades.
Proportional representation means seats match votes. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Huge moment in this interview with @frankdomenic.bsky.social.
NDP leadership candidate @avilewis.ca puts proportional representation on the national stage and makes it the non negotiable democratic reform we need.
When leadership contenders acknowledge the core issue, the national debate shifts.
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faced intense scrutiny yesterday over his vaccine policies, including claims that #COVID-19 mRNA vaccines are broadly harmful — claims not supported by evidence. More in this story by @fullerlab.bsky.social for @us.theconversation.com. 👇
Meet Brishti Basu, PressProgress’ new health reporter:
The promise of universal public healthcare has always been central to the ‘Canadian Dream’. Our new health reporter Brishti wants to help keep the dream alive.
Say hi to @brishti.bsky.social 👋
Why can't the Premier just focus on the basic business of provincial government like reducing wait times at hospitals and ensuring schools aren't falling apart. Why is everything with him another damn scheme?
I remember this disturbing me as a kid. Very odd, almost body horror. But it’s definitely stuck with me!
The United States never has enough money to keep people alive at home but always has enough money to kill people overseas.
If Democrats truly want to appeal to young men, they should probably start presenting themselves as the party that definitively *won’t* draft you into an illegal war.
I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.
We are almost halfway to our goal of raising $2k to help 16 laid off TVO workers.
It’s so shitty to be laid off right before the holidays so if you can spare a little coin or help amplify this independent fundraiser we would really appreciate it ✊🏼 these workers deserve it

Not only did Canada Post illegally lay off striking workers, it also cut off the medical benefits for people like Marc Caron, who has cancer and now has to pay thousands of dollars for medication.
This is despicable.
YES!!! Virtually every compliment Ive received has been second hand. I don’t get why it’s so hard to extend a word of gratitude or encouragement…it costs nothing!
Yeah!
Turns out they were in fact very happy with it, no one bothered to mention it…it did go up though, yes!!
I directed and edited a sizzle reel that the client desperately needed me to deliver during the Christmas holidays. I put my heart and soul into it. Radio silence. No feedback. Exactly 1 year later, the client calls, “We need you to make a cutdown…” I was never given any compliment or validation.
Can totally relate. Plus: having to fight to get paid for it after delivery…
Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau confirms Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defence minister Yoav Gallant will be arrested if they step foot in Canada after the ICC’s decision to issue arrest warrants.
Oh HELL yeah!!!
