I hope someone is archiving all the Lego videos for the historical record. I am not sure anyone has spoken truth to power or humiliated it so throughly, as Iran has. They really are exposing so much.

I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time

A screenshot of a CityNews article titled "Alberta UCP facing gerrymandering allegations over election maps." The subheadline reads: "Alberta’s premier faced allegations of gerrymandering and election rigging Thursday over a decision to change the electoral boundaries drawn by an independent commission. As Sean Amato reports, court challenges are now expected."

Under first-past-the-post, independent riding boundaries are just an honour system based on whether the ruling party decides to play fair.

Proportional representation replaces this with multi-party accountability, ensuring broad support matters more than partisan map-making.

Liberals are choosing corporate algorithms over Canadian families.
Yesterday, every party supported our motion to ban surveillance pricing—except Liberals. While they "review" the problem, corporations continue to squeeze family budgets.
Why won't the PM just say YES to a ban? 🛑 #CostOfLiving

PRIME MINISTER
Message from the Prime Minister of Canada, with a picture of Mark Carney.
I am pleased to extend my warmest greetings to everyone participating in DemocracyXChange, Canada's democracy summit.
This year's theme, "Building an Economy That Serves Democracy," speaks to one of the defining challenges f f ouar time. Stron g democracies depend not only on free and fair institutions, but also n economic systems that romote inclusion, opportunity, and integrity. When people believe the economy works for them, trust in our institutions grows and our society becomes more
resilient.
Canada has long believed that democratic strength and economic progress go hand in hand. By working together--across sectors and across borders_ we can ensure that innovation, growth, and global cooperation reinforce the values that underpin our democracy.
As you engage in today's discussions, I encourage you to continue exploring bold ideas and practical solutions that will help build a more inclusive, sustainable. and democratic future for all.
I would like to thank OCAD University, The Dais at Toronto Metropolitan University, and the Open Democracy Project for bringing together this diverse and dynamic group of leaders from across Canada and the world. Your efforts to foster dialogue make an invaluable contribution to our democratic life.
Please accept my best wishes for a productive and inspiring summit.

Defunding the state and depriving us of the government supports needed in this economic crisis! Carney's banking career is rearing its ugly head.

Mark Carney has promised a gas tax cut. There’s a better solution to our energy cost woes As temporary measures go, a windfall tax is a better idea.

I sure hope this doesn't extend beyond the short-term, with the reduction in tax revenue used as further justification for more austerity. Meanwhile, *increased* dependence on fossil fuels, more subsidies, and no windfall or increased corporate taxes. 🤷

The whole "cyclists are entitled" thing is obviously bullshit, but when it happens it's worth unpacking what those people are really saying: "I don't think cyclists are entitled to ride without the risk of serious injury or death."

That's all we are asking for. And it's ghoulish to oppose that.

Claims and ideas which happen to favour the ruling class don't dominate public life by accident. They're paid for by oligarchs and corporations then promoted by media outlets other oligarchs and corporations own. Once they've been drummed into our ears enough, they're internalised as "common sense".

The oil industry is making billions from the Iran war—it should be taxed - CCPA The current windfall could be Canadian oil's final boom—so the proceeds must be reinvested into economic diversification and industrial planning

Last week, @policyalternatives.ca put together an urgent call for Canada to tax the profits that the oil and gas industry is making off the war in Iran. Yesterday, the best Carney could do was removing tax on average people, further defunding the state.

I have repeatedly stated well documented facts. I'm sorry if your fear makes you unable to acknowledge them.

Carney has implemented Maple MAGA policies repeatedly.

Carney has invited in the most extreme elements of the Regressive Conservatives party.

Carney prefers tax cuts for the wealthy.

Carney unveils temporary cut to gas, diesel taxes after securing majority The measure, framed as response to rising energy prices, is expected to begin April 20 and remain in place until Sept. 7

It’s a good thing we didn’t elect Pierre Poilievre because his only economic plan was cutting gas taxes! Anyway

Is it strategic? what does it mean for elections? what would have happened if he had done Y instead?

What I can say for sure and what I am commenting on is that its systematic dismantling of climate policy that would reduce emissions by the government in power.
