Yes, and people forgot that the "orange wave" in Quebec in 2011 was less of an endorsement of the NDP and its policies, but more due to voters abandoning the Bloc en masse, and finding Jack charming on Tout le monde en parle.

I've yet to watch the series, but after reading this article by @mtltoula.bsky.social I may just need to take a look.

From Canada, I hope you succeed so we can be rid of them as well.

I find it curious that for a party that is always talking about the evils of economic inequality, that fundraising seems to be the #1 factor in determining the leader of the party over the last decade. Looks like nothing is going to change this time around.

Spain's PM gives the world an example of moral clarity, and shows what standing up for international law looks like. Mark Carney should take notes. youtube.com/watch?v=6ICs... (you can use auto-translation of captions in youtube for English subtitles)

Je vois défiler une série de messages de soutien qui ne sont rien d'autre que des traductions de messages provenant du Canada anglophone. Il serait peut-être préférable de publier des messages en français concernant le soutien réel provenant du Québec (si ça existe).

This is the culmination of WEEKS of investigative work.

With a little help from my friends, I've unmasked where a white nationalist fight club has been training in my city:

Scary shit - great reporting Rachel. Stay safe!

Want to murder a Canadian citizen in Canada? If you have a big enough economy, we’ll find a way to forget pretty quickly.

Frappes sur l’Iran | Peu d’explications sur le soutien du Canada à l’opération américaine Plus de 24 heures après l’attaque lancée par les États-Unis et Israël, Mark Carney n’a pas donné davantage d’explications sur les raisons qui ont poussé le Canada à soutenir cette opération meurtrière...

Peu d’explications sur le soutien du Canada à l’opération américaine www.lapresse.ca/actualites/p... Donc @mark-carney.bsky.social est pour l’ONU sauf quand Trump est contre. Ce qui est tout le temps… Le discours de Davos était donc une blague. #triste #polcan #NPD @npd.ca

tweet from @RickyHale_ It's not okay to be an adult and fall for the exact same war propaganda they used in Iraq. It's just not.

So much for the "rupture" Carney spoke of in Davos. Back to boot licking for Trump and Netanyahu. Canadians do not support this illegal act of aggression.

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

Yeah, like no Caulfield or Hutson. Mind you, Canada had some fossils on its roster and no Bedard.

The Conservative Party used to brag about how democratic they were with a one member, one vote system. Those days are gone, back to delegated conventions where only the insider ruling class can vote. Results not indicative of where party membership or the general public is at on Poilievre.

This wis the testimony of the woman who filmed Alex Pretti's murder. True courage in the face of unspeakable cruelty. Content warning, this contains the footage of the shooting, which is highly disturbing. 'youtube.com/watch

The funny thing about a certain type of angry conspiracy guy is that they’re literally being confronted with an elite paedophile ring and a tyrannical government at the same time right now, and because it isn't being done by the people they wanted it to be done by they’re all being pussies about it

In 2026, the US will:
a) descend into civil war
b) become a totalitarian dictatorship
c) start World War III
d) all of the above

Today's events with ICE are an example of why I don't quibble about calling the Trump regime fascist. There's no utility in throwing around academic terms like 'competitive authoritarianism' when the President has a personal army invading cities and murdering citizens. It's fascism.

The CBC currently has a commentator talking about "negotiation" with the Trump administration about Venezuela. This is some Neville Chamberlain level appeasement in the establishment corporate media.
