Yeah yeah yeah, we know very well that PP would have been worse than Carney but that does not mean you stop critiquing those in power who are measurably causing harm.

LNG Canada exceeds estimated 2024 global record for burned gas | The Narwhal LNG Canada in Kitimat, B.C., burned more gas in 2025 than any other liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility on record in 2024

This is a shocking story. Congrats to @thenarwhal.ca on exposing this.

LNG Canada in Kitimat – 🇨🇦's first major LNG facility – is now one of the highest sources of GLOBAL emissions for flaring, undermining claims that we produce the cleanest natural gas in the world: thenarwhal.ca/lng-canada-b...

5/ But honestly? I don’t see politics in terms of access to the powerful. Making the changes we need depends on how much momentum we can build behind solutions that confront power and benefit the 99%.

That’s the real work. And it’s going to take all of us.

Alberta landlords set to compete for tenants Many tenants still feel squeezed by high rents, but a flood of new product is coming

As Calgary’s rental supply grows, landlords are introducing incentives to attract new tenants.

The cost savings incentives afford, however, do little to increase the options available to moderate income renters, who continue to spend more than a third of their income in rent.

offering relief on gas prices is obviously politically popular. but is it a good expression of the alleged social democratic principles of the Alberta NDP? wouldn't it be better to demand the windfall be invested in poverty relief, sustainable energy, or something similar?

Here Where We Live Is Our Country The Story of the Jewish Bund | Powell's Books The dramatic story of the Jewish Bund--a revolutionary movement from a vanished world--and their radical vision of solidarity in an age of division. "Molly Crabapple beckons readers through a portal to an irresistible, lost world, one bound together by passion, solidarity, and a burning hunger for justice."--Naomi Klein, New York Times bestselling author of No Logo and Doppelganger When artist Sam Rothbort created his "Memory Paintings" in the aftermath of the Holocaust, he was trying to resurrect the vanished world of his shtetl childhood. When his great-granddaughter, the award-winning artist and journalist Molly Crabapple, discovered his archives decades later, one painting stood out: a girl, her dress the same color as the sky above, hurling a rock through a cottage window. Itka the Bundist, Breaking Windows. That single painting sent Crabapple on a journey into the Jewish Labor Bund. Once the most influential Jewish political force in eastern Europe--and a player in some of the most important events of the twentieth century--they were secular, socialist, and uncompromisingly anti-Zionist. They fought for dignity and equality, not in an imagined homeland in Palestine, but "here, where we live." In the first popular history of the Bund, Crabapple recreates their extraordinary world through dramatic portraits of leaders and foot soldiers alike. The characters Crabapple brings to such vivid life--insurgent poets and anti-religious rebels, clandestine revolutionaries and lovers on the barricades--live deeply through this violent, volatile, and somehow hopeful period, their stories intimately bound up with the Russian Revolution and the Holocaust. Crabapple also grapples with the vital question raised by their rise and fall: What can we learn from a movement that, for all its toughness, imagination, and moral clarity, was largely destroyed? With intimate portraiture and sweeping history, Here Where We Live Is Our Country reanimates a band of idealists who broadened our global political imagination. As we once again contend with nationalism, repression, and the struggle for belonging, the Bund's remarkable story and message--that liberation, dignity, and solidarity must begin where we stand--reaches across time as a guide to our own urgent moment.

I don’t like it.

The world watched as Israel razed Gaza to the ground.

Now, the world is watching as Israel razes Lebanon to the ground.

War crimes beget war crimes — and the failure to bring Israel to justice for genocide has emboldened it to destroy human life with total impunity.

Even the wins are annoying.

Lost my shit on fundraising at my uni for asking employees and students for money. Not how this works, folks.

Dude. Why.

Alberta's access restrictions threaten privacy and democratic role of libraries, critics say | CBC News Critics of Alberta's proposed rule changes to public libraries say the true danger lies in giving the province power to dictate access and potentially snoop on which books people are checking out.

"'Nobody's advocating that children should have access to inappropriate materials, least of all libraries...This is a non-existent problem that the province is using as a ploy to bring radical overreach in terms of controlling libraries.'" #abpoli #cdnpoli
