🧵 The Canadian federal government’s 2025 budget has allocated:
More business tax breaks including for fossil fuels sector
$925 million for AI
$81.8 billion over 5 years for military
However, this comes at the expense of cultural heritage.
Mark Carney is giving $925 million in tax breaks to the AI industry
Today, the NDP is calling on the Carney government to implement a national ban on surveillance pricing - before it becomes a predatory new normal in Canadian life.
Canadians are already being squeezed by the untenable cost of living. It’s time to stop the practice dead in its tracks.
I will never share a party with Marilyn Gladu. In 2021 she voted AGAINST a bill banning conversion therapy, when even Poilievre supported it.
In January 1923, Sir Frederick Banting sold his insulin patent for $1. He said, "Insulin does not belong to me, it belongs to the world."
When I was 12 years old I learned diabetics in the United States were being killed by Big Pharma price gouging a medicine invented by men who wanted it to be free.
Diabetics suffer horrific deaths through no fault of their own in the wealthiest nation on Earth.
That is why I became a socialist.
dear transgenders
on this trans day of visibility, you should know i believe you can make it through these 24 hours, and tomorrow your invisibility powers shall return inshallah
On Neoliberalism:
The '73 OPEC oil embargo & ensuing collapse in the rate of profit escalated class conflict in the West.
Organized Labour, already weakened by McCarthyism, was crushed.
Profits were restored by deregulation & austerity.
Does all this sound familiar in 2026?
BREAKING: Avi Lewis has just lost the QAnon Shaman's vote!
Super proud to have been a small part of this wonderful campaign!!
Super proud to have been a small part of this wonderful campaign!!
I feel like he's very happy with Manitoba for the time being
Q: Why are you so supportive of Avi Lewis as leader --
Wab Kinew: I love the guy
If I had a nickel for every time I was forced to repeatedly deny advances from a transmasc furry who then went on to harass me in retaliation for the crime of saying 'no', I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
true story
things you should probably be stockpiling if you can afford to:
sugar
oatmeal
powdered milk
cereal
frozen fruit / vegetables / potatoes
toiletries
coffee (if sale)
the war will impact groceries soon (in weeks). if you can't afford to stockpile, consider a food bank. i'm happy to share fundraisers!
HOT TAKE:
Once everyone involved is at least 30, age gaps become mostly irrelevant. There are many CEOs in their early 30s, and literal millions of 50 year old minimum wage workers. We need to pay more attention to that kind of power differential, because in our classist society it enables abuse!
"Effective" "Efficient"
Effective at doing what? Efficient in which particular way, and at the cost of what exactly?
These are the questions capitalism conditions us not to ask, the whole time equally positioning itself as the system of boundless innovation and adaptability
just put this meme together
Insofar as voter suppression proves the real power of elections, that we are allowed to vote at all demonstrates such exercises pose little challenge to the status quo.
Capitalism is not on the ballot.
To solve this we must use a diversity of tactics in tandem with each other.
Almost every country oppresses its own people. The United States is unique in how it oppresses the entire world, then calls it freedom and justice. Regime change through US bombs is the opposite of liberation.
yeah she kinda weird about it too
One of the best parts of this campaign is travelling the country and learning how working-class histories still shape communities today.
From its mining roots to its renewal as a cultural, recreational, and ecological hub, Cumberland shows resource towns can build economies that work for all.
Isn't it interesting how the Iranians/Cubans/Venezuelans the establishment wants people to listen to are always the ones on US soil, and not the ones we're starving + bombing?
the concept of putting people in labour camps until they learn to accept freedom of speech...
Zohran upped the wages for emergency snow shovelers from $19 to $30, immediately tripling the number of workers and properly addressing the crisis
Living wages work.
One of the most interesting (and overlooked) things about the Gorton & Denton byelection is the total collapse of not only Labour, but also the Tories and Libdems
YouTube's suffering a global outage? Damn, you'd think after 20 years they could figure that shit out.
having now watched AOC's speeches in Munich, one thing stands out above all others
she's saying the way out of MAGA fascism is returning to Atlanticist order... the very order which not only set in motion the ongoing genocide in Gaza, but also Trumpism through its contradictions
. @votetanille.bsky.social's Indigenous reconciliation and empowerment plan is a powerful, inspiring document.
It’s a vision rooted in the deep ground of First Nations, Inuit and Métis rights.
Pleased to see the jury make this decision.
We need to have eyes wide open this is exactly why the Government wants to abolish juries.
People protesting against a genocide are not the criminals here - it's the politicians who continue to provide cover.

"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed."
A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends.
Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.
