Premier Ford just raised your energy bills far more than the carbon tax.
#Ontario families will be paying $600 more annually (with no carbon rebate) to subsidize Enbridge after #DougFord overruled the Ontario Energy Board.
"Eliminating the carbon "tax" benefits the corporations while taxpayers pay the price. The Ford govt is ignoring all the experts and keeping Ontarians hooked on fossil gas even as cheaper, cleaner options become available."
Canada should maintain its multinational approach to the Israeli GOV/Palestinian conflict by defining its own position to expressly and positively reject toxic tribalism, reaffirming its commitment to multiculturalism, and compartmentalizing itself from the American support of the Israeli GOV.
Reminder:
The "Freedom" Convoy donated $460,000 to Pierre Poilievre's leadership campaign.
That's why he won't renounce them. They bought him. Imagine a so-called national leader aligning with a group of domestic terrorists."
"I people generally, but women in particular, are so tired of #Poilievre's vitriol and the anger. They are not looking for someone to hype up rhetoric and point out all that is wrong. They want solutions.”
NEW: "Warm thanks to Israeli Intelligence Minister and IDU Vice Chair Gila Gamliel for welcoming me to Tel Aviv today. Thank you for the candid discussion of the challenges facing Israel and for your ongoing engagement with the IDU Alliance." - Stephen Harper
"Axe the Tax" is a political proposal.
Fair enough.
But it isn't about making life more affordable.
It's spin to conceal a "let the planet burn" climate policy."
Haha, this is great! Perhaps the debacle will come with a positive outcome... #cdnpoli
'"In view of the scandalous events in the Canadian Parliament, which involved honouring, in the presence of President Zelenskyy, a member of the criminal Nazi SS Galizien formation, I have taken steps towards the possible extradition of this man to Poland," Przemysław Czarnek said in a social media post Tuesday.'
Bye, bye, Nazi!
Now let's quit with the Canadian infighting over this.
👀 Canada's premier political cartoonist Michael deAdder is pushing back..
"I'm sick of these tactics. I see journalists [& cartoonists] bullied by the right. Conservatives are bullying their way into power."
"When I draw a #Conservative cartoon you don't realize that I've drawn almost the same number of Liberal cartoons. I've probably drawn more Liberal than Conservative because they are in power. You just see the Conservative cartoons and cry unfair."
Yesterday Justin Trudeau revealed that agents of the Indian government murdered a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil. When Canadian Sikhs went to post about it on Facebook, the platform removed their posts as a violation of Indian law.
Wowza. What happened to 'buffed, black t-shirted' makeover Pierre #Poilievre?
Makeover or no makeover...
He has NO plan for climate change,
He has NO viable plan for housing,
He voted NO against child care & child benefits.
He’s says NO to marginalized people.
"We, the undersigned... call upon the Government of Canada to enact policy and dedicate budgetary resources to enable the Parliament of Canada to provide an open, trusted, federated, social media presence for use by all members, senators, officers and other employees of Parliament as appropriate for communication to all Canadians.”
FFS The province of #Ontario is being run on burner phones and hotmail accts. You're not a high school anymore, Premier.
"Ford's office "was far more involved" in the Greenbelt land swap than the premier has maintained — It is unclear why personal email accounts were being used to conduct official government business."
I'm serializing here an open letter to Canada's prime minister on the situation in Gaza, mailed last night.
Should you wish to follow suit with a message of your own, free free to use whatever you wish in crafting it. Or simply boost—that, too, is taking a tangible, meaningful step.
We're a small community here on mastodon - we need to reach further; direct contact with decision makers is an excellent method, especially when it's personalized.
A new Canadian federal party called the "Canadian Future Party" is getting ready to launch.
The interim leader is Dominic Cardy, a former member of Premier Higgs N.B. conservative gov't. Big players include Andrew Coyne, Lisa Raitt, General Hillier, and a collection of Stephen Harper conservative team members.
They are branding themselves as a "voice for pragmatic, centrist Canadians."
Slim media coverage so far, tho.
This was delivered to me as a pop-up on Facebook. I have never in my life seen so many billionaires so heavily invested in pushing Conservative politics as this past year. #cdnpoli
For those unaware, news is shared on Social Media through links, which are unaffected by Canada's Online News Act. Links are not publication. Notice how Meta owns Threads, yet they are miraculously not restricted in any way? Only Facebook and Instagram is, because this is a show of force and power, not a real issue.
Conservative Party leader Pierre #Poilievre made a surprise speech on a WestJet flight from Quebec City to #Calgary on Sunday.
A WestJet spokesperson said it was a public flight. The use of the PA in this circumstance was approved in advance by WestJet operational leadership, the pilots and inflight crew.
Listening to BCE's #BellCanada annual results call.
tldr; doubling down on data selling and ad revenue.
cutting 4800/9% employees and 750 contractors, the largest hackjob in 30y. This will save ~$250M, less than the company has paid for the presenting CEO and CFO over the past 5 years...
Mad as hell that the govt. is opening fibre to competition and are going to sulk about it by slowing the rollout and capping the available speeds at 3Gbps.
Update from the federal Conservative Convention being held in Québec City this weekend.
"The director of the anti-abortion group, Right Now, confirmed their goal is to nominate & elect even more anti-abortion politicians to the House of Commons, with an aim of passing legislation to restrict abortion access in #Canada."
