Israeli foreign influence campaign must be investigated: CJPME
"Montreal, June 5, 2024 — Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East (CJPME) is calling on Parliament to investigate Israeli foreign influence in Canada, following the alarming discovery that Israel has been covertly targeting Canadians with racist anti-Muslim messages. "
"Chrystia Freeland put out the bunting after her April 16th budget. The fiscal plan had three targets or “guideposts”: keeping the deficit below $40 billion in 2023/24; lowering the debt-to-GDP ratio in the current fiscal year, compared to last fall’s financial statement; and keeping deficits below one per cent of GDP in 2026/27."
But the Department of Finance now says the deficit was $50.9B.
Last chance. If you want to have your signature on the real life letter that goes to Canada's House of Commons Speaker and others, you must tell me before 9AM PDT (about 40 minutes).
You do not have to be Canadian to sign.
Signatures received after 9AM will be on the web version.
I've made some updates to the letter including more supporting links and sources.
I just hit send on the Open Letter to the Speaker, Clerks of the House and Senate and the Chair of the House Procedures and House Affairs Committee. (and cc'ed to other relevant Ministers, MPs and Senator)
67 signatures included! Anyone can still add one on the web version.
Thanks 🙏 for helping to push this. There may be a third (and final!) push, but it will be Canada only.
THANK YOU!

Definition of utter insanity - Ontario will be cancelling funding of wastewater surveillance for ALL diseases - this as Covid is once again on the rise and H5N1 is lurking as a potential new pandemic
This federal survey is a complete #farce. My Dad got covid in hospital. He died from long covid cardiac arrest. My Aunt got covid in hospital & now suffers from long covid.....
You can find out who your MLA & MP #financial donors are & also learn more about their #finances. #Information on #political entities - search for contributions, view financial reports, etc.
Have you heard this from the Conservatives or your annoying family member?
"In a press release, the Conservatives argued that given their proposed tax break, the average Canadian family could save $670 this summer with people in Alberta saving the most at $955 per family."
To save that much, people would have to drive 37,000 kilometres during their holidays. 37,000 kilometres!!!!!
For reference for the curious, the Parliamentary Budget Office has announced that they miscalculated the effect of the #CarbonTax on Canadian citizens. A correction will be issued in Fall 2024.
Curious where the marketing / storytelling potential is for companies who do NOT use the various forms of AI, especially given the myriad of issues (water & resources, excuses to cut staff, further enshitification of customer service) etc etc. I bet some smart folks could really do good storytelling around this on brand recognition etc #AI#canada#marketing#cdnpoli
Hi, fellow #canadians I have heard that yall are nice. #onpoli#cdnpoli you to do a nice thing and call this premier and tell him how this statement is hurtful.
onpoli #cdnpolimacists he has no problem saying “this is an ongoing investigation and it is hard to comment on it” but dragging immigrants into it is easy for him?
many countries, including Canada, do not let convicted criminals to visit, so really wonder what happens if Trump does actually win (or take) the presidency - like will there actually be G7 summits, or 3 amigos meetings?
Ms. Elizabeth May: Madam Speaker, when we adopted by unanimous consent that we could meet until midnight, I did not put on the record, but I would like to now, that I think there should be nursing stations available for those of us who work midnight, night after night, and there should be very available places for at least quick naps to be able to continue our work. We do get elected to work. We work hard, but we should not put our lives at risk.
👏 Same for everyone else who has to work so much more because of this. #cdnpoli
