We need community owned not for profit grocery stores as well. Local farmers provide produce but it’s a store people can get all their basics
#cdnpoli
Canada can be a superpower for renewable resources, while we’re building big things let’s build that bigger and better and quickly.
Way more beneficial to install these solar farms on existing buildings, over parking lots or along roads rather than looking at good farmland. Farmers can & should benefit from clever installations, but they cannot be the only option. Subsidies to install them on residential homes must be better.
Tuned into @globalnews.ca BC this morning and noticed that most of their ‘human interest’ stories are from the US. Are they just to lazy to find Canadian stories or what? #cdnpoli
An informative dive into Canada’s immigration system, esp. when compared to other countries in the world from the perspective of Anna and Anatasia, a couple of German expats now living here. #CdnPoli www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ohq...
thats a good plan, I only reported to youtube and clearly they don't care
I have reported this multiple times as AI fraud but that doesn’t do anything
It’s a little sad that we have to rely on officials from other countries to call out the bullshit Poilievre spills regularly. I can’t wait for the day where our Canadian politicians and mainstream media get with the program and not let him get away with lying
If you have any doubts that letting the madmen that brought us the social media disaster self regulate AI development, please listen to this. This is not the first case and I’m afraid many more will follow #cdnpoli www.humanetech.com/podcast/how-...
I’m also a bit baffled by the Canadian officials who keep playing nice with them and nobody tells them as it is - we’re not buying your stuff until you get rid of the fascist in the White House.
Couldn’t agree more, go home and clean your own house.
What a great idea
I would say Canada Post as a lifeline for anyone that doesn’t live in the bottom 20% of Canada. You will never get for profit companies to deliver anything to the other 80%, too far and sparsely populated.
seeing a whole bunch of misleading, fake AI-generated ads pop up on YouTube again. Report them! #cdnpoli
While I’m may not have all the facts, that sounds like a case of narrowmindedness over innovation and focus on what is needed.
All for no tipping but only if you at the same time legislate a living wage for the restaurant workers
It’s astonishing that nobody that surrounds him points out that he sounds like an absolute fool. Not his staff, not his wife, not his party or his voters
🔥 STEWART: “This is the lie they tell you — that all this money flowing towards corporate interests is actually for YOUR benefit…. That government intervention for corporations is our ‘FREE MARKET’, but government intervention for workers is ‘SOCIALISM’.
LOL. Go @governor.ca.gov !
Well worth a listen #cdnpoli
We need to remember who pays for the tariffs on US goods - Canadians. Keep boycotting their stuff, avoid travel and any US companies is what we can do that hurts the US. And then diversity, diversity, diversity to the rest of the world as fast as possible.
We’ve been here before. We came out ahead. #tariffs #cdnpoli #never51 #buycanadian youtu.be/EauTpywHTv0
Canada has a problem: we don’t own the data that informs our biggest policy decisions. Writer @vassb.bsky.social explores why we’ve come to accept a system where private platforms hoard core economic intelligence and treat it like business as usual: thewalrus.ca/canada-labour-data/
Hoped for a different outcome in BRC - didn’t happen. Wouldn’t bank on a change in Jan either. The Conservative Party is a cult now and they like the lying and grifting
And let’s call out the media if they don’t call out his BS. Call them, write, tweet, whatever but let them know we expect better and we are paying attention
Do you know where your data is? Having used US companies for many things in the past, it’s a little terrifying. #cdnpoli
Hate to be ‘the told you so’ person but let’s keep tabs on his appearances in BRC over the next year and see.
not decidedly enough
Fed min wage is $36920 working full-time hours, paying a CEO 25x that would give them about 923000. in Germany, large Companies are required to have a supervisory board, with half of its members being workers. This board sets executive wages, providing a way for workers to influence management pay
Who needs the fake American Dream if you can have Canadian Reality #cdnpoli

@chly.ca's Lauryn Mackenzie interviewed @todmaffin.com re: buying Canadian in the face of tariffs, and talk with local farmer Aaron Grant and Michele Greene, market manager for the Island Roots Market Co-Operative about more Canadians buying local at the market. Are you still buying Canadian?
His victory isn't a shock, but the margin is stunning. I'm struggling to understand the conservative voters' logic. Why vote for a candidate who is openly selfish, just because you were told to? I'm trying to make sense of a choice that seems to defy their own self-interest.
The first leg of HELD CAPTIVE is coming to a close & we are looking back on some of its highlights. Next is the closing dinner of the @TC/ESG25 Conference at @Global Change Institute at @WITS University. The theme is “Navigating sustainability transformations towards justice & equity” -a perfect fit
Quite the song 😂
This is a very slippery slope and we only need to look south to see what happens next. Farmers need to be at the table but guess what - this is a time of the year when they all working flat out. #bcfarm #cdnpoli
That’s cute, but I’m sure your chicken / fish / staples don’t escape the greed either
#cdnpoli I have nothing to add 😂
The US dude is clearly out to lunch but it’s perfect to remind everyone to keep up what we are doing and maybe strengthen the resolve in others
Well worth listening to An eight-part series about the threat to Canada’s sovereignty and what we can do about it. Hosted by journalist and author of The Next Civil War, Stephen Marche. #cdbpoli

Be aware, check your sources before sharing even and especially if it’s exactly what you want to hear. Manipulation is always wrong #cdnpoli
Why share AI generated rubbish just because it sounds like something you want to hear? It is still manipulation
Go ahead 🍊💩 keep poking the goose and see what happens.
The stupidity of people is mind-blowing, and that is why, in the end, nobody is going to be allowed in the forest when it's dry like this. Despite most folks being responsible.
#cdnpoli
The local paper wrote about my extensive audit of American produce in #Nanaimo grocery stores.
Made a list for all I can find on #vancouverisland. Not at all complete but I’m adding more all the time. Have something that’s missing? Let me know
that gives good insight into how informed and educated some Trump voters are
MAGA people who have never hiked in their lives are now all up in arms over the so-called infringements of their rights and freedoms to exacerbate the likelihood of igniting wildfires, in the currently tinder-dry forests. Poisonous culture of arrogance & rebellion against COMMON SENSE. #cdnpoli
Bonnie Critchley doesn’t miss a thing! Not only does she know a lot about her neighbours, she also knows a lot about how Poilievre operates. This is her statement about Poilievre who sounds desperate & up to his old tricks again! #cdnpoli
This is a AI fake video
There are more than one around too
All great civilizations have come to an end, we get to watch the dismantling of the USA in real time. Canada needs to protect our borders as this is going to get uglier by the day.
Watch out or Canada will be next
The irony will be lost on that genius
We need to consider upping fines and consequences here in BC, as people who put forests and more at risk by ignoring fire bans are not incentivized enough to behave @bcndpcaucus.bsky.social #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

How Makerspace Nanaimo grew from a small group with hand tools to a fully stocked shop with almost 100 members.
Just like the rest of the conservatives: all trash talk and no actual plan
Maybe it is time to consider much steeper punishment and lifetime bans for people that go into the woods, behave irresponsibly and put so much at risk.
Unprovoked attack?? I'm sure the buffalo didn't feel it was unprovoked.
@maddow.msnbc.com is this real?
No answer is an answer too :)
I still think competition will help with out out of control greed of the grocery stores in Canada. Very encouraging to hear this #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/busines...
Thinking about AI? The same people who gave us the social media disaster are in charge of this life-changing technology. Listen to podcasts from the Center for Humane Technology to get great insights on how this can and will impact us. #cdnpoli www.humanetech.com/podcast/ai-i...
Tod has become one of my favorite people online. That he lives in my town is just a bonus 😊
What a pity we cannot revoke his Canadian citizenship. Failing that Canada should tax the living daylights out of him and the rest that are just like this.
Great news, Nanaimo! The City has launched a new eApply feature for the 2025 Tree Voucher Program. Property owners can apply for a $25 voucher (value up to $90) to buy a tree from Green Thumb. 🌳 2/household. Learn more: www.nanaimo.ca/NewsReleases... #Nanaimo #YCD
Seems like a good time to encourage Canadians to sign this formal petition to Parliament to mandate clear and accurate country of origin labeling on consumer products. Let's make it easier to avoid sending our money to countries whose governments just want to crush us. #Canada #cdnpoli #trump
amazing
So interesting to see that no major news covered that there was a room half full of folks that have nothing to do with the place #cdnpoli
Are you keeping count of how many have decided to move ?
Another one! 🥰 #nanaimo
And all these folks are going to split the vote and make sure PP wins. 😢😖😤
I wish the press would not jump on every fart that comes out of the WH and do their job and their research before repeating rubbish. Can they be any lazier?
Some nice Island info once a week #vancouverisland

@senangusking.bsky.social is either incompetent and senile and needs to be removed from his position or he’s a coward and lying, and should be removed from his position
Not surprised that these big guys are crooked, we’ve known this for a while. Unfortunately, there will be no consequences unless we make it so. If you find one, report it here and let them know we are paying attention. inspection.canada.ca/en/food-safe...

RE: ⬆️ Enjoy Toni Vere's "Bonnie" youtu.be/2uzPisxDbmw?...
Another fantastic discussion with interesting people
He’s either following the rules or he’s not. If you don’t like the rules then maybe they need to be changed but for now he has done everything that was required and more. The conservative party doesn’t have a very good track record of telling the truth, so maybe not the ones to point fingers.

Isn’t healthcare recruiting a provincial responsibility not federal?
‘Albertans’ Damm we need an edit button
I would’ve said ‘wait for the Albertson’s to come to their senses’, but I’m not sure that’s going to happen fast enough. In response to your question: I have no idea what to do next either

You might be right but if the feds step in they turn her into a martyr and someone worse will follow. Let the Albertans kick her to the curb, and then investigate her
