"When it comes to social, economic, and environmental policy, [the Carney government] is following through on its promise to “nation-build” with a sweeping program of austerity, deregulation and cuts," writes @lukewsavage.bsky.social. #GiftLink 🎁 #CdnPoli www.thestar.com/gift-redeem?...

"In 2025 millions of Canadians rallied behind what they took to be a promise of renewed economic sovereignty and progressive nation-building. Over the past year, the government they elected has effectively delivered the exact opposite." #cdnpoli

"The biggest payoffs will take time." Not taking time for Meta whose gas plant received crown corp. financing: www.nationalobserver.com/2026/07/24/n... The benefits meanwhile of your "boosts today" often not actually reaching Canadians. & the payoffs of the UK-style privatization you're pitching:

Are you enjoying your 10c/litre holiday from the federal excise tax on gasoline (starting April 20)? The avg Cdn price fell 10c that day. But since then it's risen 20c. So the avg price now is 10 cents higher than BEFORE the 10 cent tax cut! (Data from gasbuddy.com) /2

Again: We need a wealth limit (see full thread below). It's either an upper wealth limit & democracy OR ever-concentrating wealth, oligarchy, & eco-collapse. Distant as it seems, oligarchs will not stop until it's one or the other. The choice is ours. #CDNpoli #USpoli #Inequality #Oligarchy

I'm from right next to Gros Morne, people I love live in the area. You know what I feel when I see you there? Anxiety over NL being hit by more wildfires. Wildfires made worse by the actions of a man who doesn't realize that you CANNOT seek to burn more gas and claim to care about these places.

“Cameco, the Saskatoon-based uranium mining and nuclear fuel company, will mine uranium ore in Saskatchewan and convert it in Port Hope, Ont., before it is enriched in the United States.” What problem are the Carney and Ford governments trying to solve?

Seeing your community burn is one of the gnarliest assignments, and it's becoming a more common one.

"Healthcare is provincial, not federal." 1. The Canada Health Act is federal law. 2. The Canada Health Transfer is the single largest transfer of federal funds to the provinces. 3. Health is a responsibility shared between federal and provincial jurisdictions. 🔗s below.

In the midst of a lot of bad news taking action can help. At least it helps me. Send a message (link below) to oppose the financing of gas plants for data centres - & more importantly CALL your MP: www.ourcommons.ca/members/en Calls make all the difference. #CDNpoli #ABpoli #Wildfires #Datacentres

A Federal Crown Corporation has given up to $200 million in taxpayer financing for a gas plant that will power an Alberta data centre - not for sovereign data storage - but for the use of U.S. tech giant Meta.

Some things you STILL need to explain: 1. How is this your new principal advisor: “If we really want to end the violence and depravation that plagues Canada’s remote Aboriginal communities, we need to help them leave these communities, forever,” said Gilmore, the PM's new advisor. 2. See below.

"Because Trump" or the more euphemistic "because the world has changed" is the favourite thought-terminating cliché of Carney supporters. Offer any evidence-based criticism of any Carney policy & you will hear that these unusually dangerous times require it. But he's making us *more* vulnerable. 🧵1/

Very cool that this is how our prime minister has been responding to a premier that is increasingly privatizing healthcare (just did another announcement to that effect, even!) and attacking trans youth rights. Really cool, really great!!
