Memo to the global community: Canada has officially abandoned climate action.
PM Carney has systematically dismantled all the insufficient policy we had in place.
A clear-eyed and devastating piece by my brother, Seth Klein.

The Israeli military has detained hundreds of activists who sailed to Gaza to break Israel’s blockade.
In the face of unending genocide and impunity, they continue to challenge Israel, to keep the spotlight on ongoing genocide.
At least 11 Canadians are among those taken.
We're calling on the federal government to drop its usual kid gloves treatment of Israel and exert real diplomatic pressure to secure their immediate release.

5/ The message to Canadians is crystal clear: the C-suite asks, and Ottawa delivers. If you're a powerful corporation, you go to the front of the line. If you’re struggling to pay rent, feed your kids, or find a family doctor, you’re told to wait.
None of these giant changes make our country more secure, independent, or stable. None of them directly address the cost of living crisis. All of them promise corporate welfare for the billionaire class, and more hardship for the 99%.

3/ Yesterday’s release of the government’s so-called clean electricity strategy is a transparent attempt to distract from this latest capitulation to the fossil fuel industry – and it’s not even a ‘clean’ electricity strategy worthy of the name when it opens the door to more high-emission gas plants.

2/ Meanwhile, renewables met 100% of global demand growth for electricity last year. The rest of the world is racing ahead on clean energy, building the economy of the future. The Liberal government is taking us backwards, locking us into more pipelines, more fossil fuel dependence, and more handouts for some of the richest corporations on earth.
An industry expected to make $90 billion in profits this year alone does not need more gifts from the public.

It’s time to build affordable homes, a national network of public grocery stores, electric buses and an east-west clean energy grid. Not massive corporate AI data centres unleashed without any democratic debate.
There's also no real data sovereignty in an AI ecosystem dominated by U.S. tech giants. Telus may be Canadian-owned, but it has already transferred 14 petabytes of Canadian data onto Google Cloud as part of its AI strategy.
This is a technology that will bring sweeping changes at a scale and speed never seen before. Canadians deserve real oversight and a robust regulatory framework before we rush ahead.
That’s why we’re calling for an immediate pause on the construction of any new AI data centres until strong federal guardrails are in place.
We can’t sit back and let Big Tech billionaires decide our future for us.

PM Carney seems ready to suspend environmental regulation in Canada under the illusion that he can buy political peace with Danielle Smith (ie the oil industry).
The benefits will be real: for a handful of companies with already-bloated profits.
The costs will be real too: a rising tide of economic and ecological disaster that sinks all boats.

4/ I have an idea for the Prime Minister: why don’t we pull a Norway?
Let’s put a windfall tax on oil and gas companies that are projected to make $90B in profits this year because of Trump’s illegal war in Iran. Then, let’s use that money to fill up the Sovereign Wealth fund — and invest in projects that benefit Canadians instead of a few wealthy investors and CEOs.

2/ Rather than asking the biggest corporations to pay their fair share, it throws public money at them in the hope that the market will solve our problems in housing, in infrastructure and the cost of living.
This is exactly what the Prime Minister’s Sovereign Wealth Fund does. It’s a mirror image of Norway’s successful model: Norway invests revenue from its public oil company into its fund for the public’s benefit. Prime Minister Carney’s approach is to seed the fund with public money to subsidize big private projects.

1/ Today’s spring economic statement fails to meet the moment at a time when Canadians are getting crushed by the rising cost of everything.
While it was sold by the government as a plan to address affordability, the update contains virtually no new measures to bring down the cost of living — it tinkers around the edges and re-announces existing initiatives.
Meanwhile, there’s not a single new measure to bring in new revenue by taxing excessive corporate profits.

Striking that the Liberals and Conservatives offer the same response to pain at the pump: siphon money out of the public purse instead of Big Oil’s profits.
Oil companies are on track to make tens of billions in windfall profits from Trump’s illegal war in Iran.
It’s their profiteering that’s driving up prices. It’s them who should pay.
It’s time for price caps on gas to stop oil companies from price-gouging Canadians — and a windfall profits tax on war-time oil revenues, so the government can invest that money in the public interest.

Hours after Iran and the U.S. reached a ceasefire deal, Israel launched one of its most devastating attacks on Lebanon to date.
Over a hundred strikes in ten minutes - carnage in Beirut, where hundreds of thousands of displaced people are sheltering.
Hundreds dead, entire neighbourhoods reduced to rubble. Reports of ethnic cleansing and open discussion of permanent military occupation.
Prime Minister Carney has rightly condemned the invasion as illegal, but words are not enough.
Canada must bring sanctions against Israel, cancel the Canada-Israel free trade agreement, implement a real two-way arms embargo, and use every diplomatic and economic tool at our disposal to rein in Israel.
US-Israeli impunity has shredded the international order: Canada should lead in rebuilding it.

Today, the Carney government joined the Conservatives and the Bloc to defeat Jenny Kwan’s No More Loopholes Bill — legislation that would have stopped Canadian weapons sent to the U.S. from being used to fuel the genocide in Gaza.
It’s a deeply shameful vote that suggests they would rather appease Trump than protect vulnerable civilians. 
But this moment also shows why voices like Jenny Kwan and her colleagues in the NDP caucus matter so much. They continue to champion human rights, peace, and international justice with courage and persistence, even when few others in Parliament will.
Millions of Canadians share that vision. They want Canada to be a force for peace, not a junior arms dealer.

A desalination plant supplying drinking water to 30 villages.
A flour and starch factory.
Oil depots blanketing Tehran in thick black smoke and contaminated rain.
65 schools. 13 hospitals.
Centuries-old heritage sites.
These are the latest targets in the illegal US-Israeli assault on Iran. These are not military bases, they are the civilian infrastructure that keeps ordinary people alive. More than 1,300 people have already been killed since the attacks began, and nearly 6,700 civilian sites have reportedly been struck.
This war has nothing to do with democracy — or even nuclear weapons. Canada must have no part in it and Prime Minister Carney must use every ounce of his influence to put a stop to it.

And worse: hundreds of civilians have already been killed in the all-out bombardment of dense urban areas like Tehran.

2/ We remember the disastrous outcomes of previous U.S.-led wars of regime change in the Middle East, including in Iraq. They led to hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths, sectarian conflict, and a world that is less safe, not more. The current attacks on Iran must stop now, before the entire region is plunged into conflict, death, and destruction.
My thoughts are with the people in Iran and around the world who are watching this unfold with heartbreak and uncertainty.
Freedom will not come from military intervention by outside powers, it can only come from the Iranian people. War is not the way.

1/ The images coming out of Iran are already unbearable. Reports of an elementary school struck by missiles, killing dozens of people, with scores more killed around the country. Fear and chaos in the streets as families run through smoke and search for safety.
The United States and Israel have launched an illegal act of war while Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu speak openly of regime change. This is what Prime Minister Mark Carney says he supports. He has issued a statement so brazenly belligerent that even Conservatives like Jason Kenney are cheering it on.
It’s a shameful moment that buries all of Carney’s high-minded rhetoric in Davos under the rubble.
These leaders justify this war as serving Iranian liberation. But the courageous movement in Iran that has been fighting tyranny for nearly five decades — and is still reeling from the worst massacre in the country’s modern history in January — will suffer a massive setback from these foreign bombs.

Danielle Smith’s address was a chilling moment that recalls some of the ugliest anti-immigration chapters of our country’s history.
This is what demagogues do: pit the public against the most vulnerable and blame them for the very crises their austerity policies have created.
Immigrants aren't to blame for Alberta's crumbling healthcare system, overcrowded classrooms, and strained social services — Danielle Smith and the UCP are.
All federal leaders must come together to condemn Smith’s politics of division and stand up for the human rights of people who are our neighbours, friends and a part of our communities.

Trump is fuelling a humanitarian crisis in Cuba, with an oil blockade that is leading to devastating power outages and rationing. This administration is determined to dominate the hemisphere with brute force and naked impunity.
Canada has a long history of good relations with Cuba. We have consistently voted at the UN to end the blockade of Cuba, and millions of Canadian tourists have visited the island.
We should immediately follow Mexico’s lead and condemn this act of economic warfare. And we should step up with humanitarian assistance to the Cuban people, as NDP MP Alexandre Boulerice calls for in this excellent parliamentary petition: https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-7082

1/ Hi Mastodon community!
A quick update from me. While some might have said, “entering the Fediverse with its unique and engaged culture is totally bonkers when you’re in the middle of a federal leadership race”, we said, “sure, why not? It’s the only platform that really corresponds to our values, and it’s worth trying at least.”
Shoutout to @npub1clv…fsmp who lobbied with relentless grace for this to happen.
This means that yes, the campaign and I are here now. But also, that we’re spread really thin and are not going to be able to engage to the level of engagement that Fediverse culture expects, at least not in the short term.
I’m not a fan of just broadcasting here, but for the next couple of months, that’s mostly what we’ll be doing.
Our young staffer who posts on every social media platform has enthusiastically learned as much as possible about Fediverse practices, and is doing a hell of a job here at posting in a thoughtful way (as some of you have noted).

This post has been on my mind for a few days now, so I’m going to say something about it. 🧵
The Minister of AI having an "ongoing engagement" with the government of Israel on technology and AI is deeply concerning. No, it’s just plain wrong. It makes Canada vulnerable to international legal consequences, and it takes Canada far down the wrong path.
The post itself radiates the same kind of defiant impunity we’ve seen from both Israel and the Trump administration when it comes to flouting international law.

Jamais plus l'inaction (Idle No More) a transformé le Canada, en plaçant les droits autochtones au centre du débat fédéral et en rassemblant les gens dans la rue dans le cadre d'une lutte commune pour la justice. Ce mouvement a ouvert les yeux de manière profonde, offrant guérison et espoir que nous pouvons surmonter ensemble l'injustice.
Je suis profondément honoré d'avoir reçu le soutien des cofondatrices Sylvia McAdam et Sheelah McLean. Avoir gagné leur confiance est un véritable honneur.

Idle No More has transformed this country, putting Indigenous rights at the centre of the national conversation and bringing people into the streets as part of a common struggle for justice. It has opened eyes in profound ways, offering healing and hope that we can overcome injustice together.
I’m deeply honoured to be endorsed by co-founders Sylvia McAdam and Sheelah McLean. To have earned their trust is truly humbling.

Canadians know monopolies are driving up prices. A public option for groceries would give people a real alternative and bring costs down immediately. It’s affordable, practical, and within reach.

Hello Mastodon!
I’m Avi Lewis and I’m running to be the next leader of the federal NDP. Very excited to be part of the Fediverse!
I’m running for NDP leader because it’s time for the NDP to return to its roots—fighting a system rigged for the rich that leaves the rest of us behind.
We can build a Canada based on care instead of greed, but only if we do it together. There are only 4 days left to join the NDP so you can vote in the leadership race, so get your membership before Jan 28th and let’s fight for a government that serves the many, not the money.
