Israel killed this woman’s daughter in Gaza and she still has family in Palestine. She’s been with demonstrators following Mark Carney around Montreal today. But she was arrested. Apparently, she was too loud while trying to get Mark Carney to care about her family. Here’s what she told me:
The Prime Minister and his cabinet have to be diplomatic in dealing with the maniacal doddering orange bloat down south. As far as the rest of Canadians are concerned, Trump can eat a bag of dicks.
Desperate Palestinians are risking gunfire, looting or being crushed by moving trucks to get flour in northern Gaza.
Poilievre secured a seat, but first needs CSIS security clearance before handling sensitive intel—or even briefings on foreign interference. CBC spells out the absurdity: we’re meant to trust national security from someone who refuses the most basic vetting. #SaveTheCBC
A Revolutionary General Strike isn’t an idea for someday. It’s the living contradiction of our time, when we stop, the system stops. The question is: will we turn the world for the ruling class, or for each other? #Generalstrikeus
Pam Bondi fires the 37-yr-old man accused of throwing a sub sandwich at federal agents. He worked IN the Justice Department. Her statement: "this is an example of The Deep State." ... Your conspiracy about a nefarious shadow government run by elites taught them to assault people with SANDWICHES?
Mad you don't get to go in the woods. Sign up to be volunteer firefighter. And spend your summers defending those woods you care so much about.

Just a reminder Wildfire doesn't care about your rights, your freedoms, your favourite walking trail or campsite, your house, all your belongings, your dog, your family, and all your memories. It will take everything, including your life. Stay Out Of The Woods. #Halifax #HaliSky #NovaScotia
Trump is calling in the National Guard. Poilievre wants to suspend the Charter. Ford wants to use the Notwithstanding Clause to criminalize the homeless. Different countries, same playbook: push fear, roll back rights, and target the vulnerable. If Cons take more control --is this Canada’s future
Wise words of/for liberation.

It makes sense once you realize that every accusation is a confession.
5/ From climate change to pandemics to “AGI,” paranoid tech billionaires see threats everywhere. But instead of using their power to solve them, they build escape hatches and doomsday bunkers for themselves. Watch the full conversation on the Nerd Reich podcast: www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_3P...
Poilievre’s slogans are all marketing, no substance — “Axe the Tax,” “Build the Homes,” “Stop the Crime.” In reality, it’s just “Save My Ass.” Battle River–Crowfoot by-election: choose Bonnie Critchley, not empty catchphrases. Save the CBC. Save the facts. r.pebmac.ca/https://www....
Ignorance is how we got here. Sigh.
Found RFK Jr. 😂
Oof Stephen Colbert REALLY hates RFK Jr & doesn't care if CBS knows it. 🤣😂 He says: "Now we have ten more months of this show, so I want to give a nonpartisan response here. Fuck you, you roid-addled nepo carnie! You road-kill-munching, luddite, human slim jim. You're going to kill people!"
🤣🙌
Sudan is being forcibly starved. In the city of El Fasher, which shelters over one million people, families are surviving on toxic animal feed just to stay alive. Hospitals have been bombed. Aid is being blocked. Civilians are being targeted. El Fasher has been under siege by RSF since April 2024.
Passing on some good news out of Tucson 🌵: Amazon's Project Blue development was shut down by Tucson city council after civic community members showed up & created immense pressure against the "water-devouring" data center that planned to use Tucson city water 🚰 supply. Showing up matters! 💙 (1

Trump’s 35% tariffs on Canada? They hurt workers and consumers on both sides of the border. 📉 According to CBC, U.S. businesses are already sounding the alarm—these tariffs mean higher costs for manufacturers, more expensive goods for consumers, and more uncertainty in a fragile economy.
Oh and did note the grisly/creepy stories on the front page of the Guardian? Here's a tic tac toe three in a row. n

Poilievre keeps pushing fear over a digital currency that doesn’t exist. CBC cuts through the spin — that’s why Conservatives want it gone. 🧷 Save the CBC. Save the facts. 🔗 r.pebmac.ca/https://www.... #SaveTheCBC #CdnPoli #CBDC #PublicBroadcasting #ThinkCritically
The public can still access beaches and parks, except for trail systems. The fine for violating the ban is $25,000.
NS gov has announced it's banning hiking, camping, fishing and use of vehicles such as ATVs in the woods as of 4 p.m. Tuesday due to an elevated wildfire risk. Camping in campgrounds is still permitted, but trail systems through woods are off-limits. #NovaScotia #Halifax #HaliSky
I wasn't aware Israel made this threat. That is horrific, and I can see how it made things hard for these journalists. But I also think they should think twice about proactively censoring atrocities in the face of threats from a regime that is currently, actively, committing a genocide.
🤣
When public media disappears, so do the stories that bring us together. With federal funding eliminated, millions may lose their last trusted source of news and connection. If that matters to you, now’s the time to act. Donate: n.pr/458sOhq
Trump’s 35% tariffs on Canada are based on flimsy excuses — and U.S. judges are now questioning whether he even had the authority to impose them without Congress. CBC is breaking down the legal chaos, the economic fallout, and why these tariffs hurt both sides. 🔗 r.pebmac.ca/https://www....
At a vigil in Montreal for the child victims of Israel’s genocide of Palestinians, advocates have been reading each of these children’s names — from youngest to oldest. They started at 8:00am. By 9:00pm, they had only reached the names of the nine-year-olds. ❤️🩹
Dozens of Palestinians were killed, many while waiting for food aid, amid a deepening starvation crisis and despite Israeli assurances of a humanitarian pause in some areas of the territory.
The U.S. fuels the genocide in Congo through corporate greed, resource extraction, and militarized control, all to keep profits flowing. That’s why organizing a general strike in the U.S. is revolutionary we disrupt the very systems funding global violence. #Generalstrikeus #Freecongo
CBC is Canada’s most trusted news source—yet it gets less than 10 cents /day per person in funding. That’s 60% less than other public broadcasters. We don’t need more cuts. We need proper investment. More from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives: www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...
What kind of asshole still supports a politician after it becomes glaringly obvious they’re a pedophile?
GAZA as of August 1st, 2025 Photo by Heidi Levine for Washington Post Israel's way of "finding terrorists", complete and utter genocidal analyzation of of every single Palestinian man, woman and child, and if any are left they starve them. Shameful. #Gaza #FreePalestine 🇵🇸
Finance guy at dealership said I should keep some money liquid or invest it, instead of paying up front. I asked if they were offering 0% financing and he laughed and offered 5.9% - I pointed out NO ONE would offer me that on investments, and went and got bank cheque for total. Assholes.
Trump just slapped Canada with 35% tariffs over wind turbines, Palestine, and a fake fentanyl scare. It’s economic nonsense — and CBC is one of the few outlets explaining why. That’s why Conservatives want CBC gone. Not because it’s biased — because it tells the truth. 🔗 r.pebmac.ca/https://www....
This is such a paternalistic attitude. Like, "we know what's best for Nova Scotians," when really they want what's best for a few, including themselves. www.saltwire.com/nova-scotia/...

Sectarian violence in recent weeks in Syria's Sweida region has left more than 1,000 people dead. Druze in the Israel-occupied Golan Heights say they feel betrayed by Syria's interim government.
It is sad that all the 3 story walk-up affordable apts in the area are almst gone. Torn down for expensive ones. The beautiful old building beside Dairy Queen up for sale and probably gone soon also and that will end it for those 3 blocks. Sad is a walkable neighbourhood that is being "up-sized"
About a month after announcing that it would stop sharing data that hurricane forecasters and scientists rely on, the Navy now says it will continue distributing it.
Isn't the killing if 4 ppl anywhere in the USA just sort of a "meh" moment now?
It's time to grab the popcorn, folks 🍿
Legacy media keep referring to the Epstein cover-up as a “scandal,” when they should be calling it a crime.
Shameful beyond words. "Life expectancy at birth reportedly declined by approximately 35 years in 2024.2 This represents a greater collapse in longevity than that recorded during the genocide in Rwanda." Break the selective silence on the genocide in Gaza www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
US to impose sanctions on Palestinian organisations
Time for the rest of the world to just stop dealing with them, period
Canada will make its own foreign policy decisions. It is not up to a doddering old bloat like Trump.
Trump is threatening Canada over our support for Palestinian statehood. When human rights become trade leverage, we need CBC to keep us informed — not silenced. 📢 r.pebmac.ca/https://www.... #SaveTheCBC #Palestine #HumanRights #NoMAGAinCanada #cdnpoli

These provinces could throw their energy behind solar, wind and sustainable climate change- they would STILL make a fortune Why are we so far behind the rest of the developed world in this?
That photo of the three of them is creepy....
The Trump administration is withdrawing the United States from the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), accusing the U.N. agency of being “woke.”
And bike lanes, shared bike/pedestrian lanes and useful bus routes (Connecting entire province by train/solar rapid transit would cut down on emissions and highway fatalities)

From CTV News: Canadians avoiding travel to the United States and banning American alcohol are among the reasons U.S. President Donald Trump thinks the country is “nasty” to deal with, the U.S. ambassador to Canada said Monday. Donald Trump and his ambassador can go fuck themselves.

The clashes between militias of the Druze religious minority and the Sunni Muslim clans killed hundreds and threatened to unravel Syria's already fragile postwar transition.
It costs nearly $100 million a year to maintain global stockpiles of vaccines for Ebola, cholera, meningitis and yellow fever in case of emergency. A new study estimates how many lives they've saved.
For the record, no one from CBC has tried to rectify this and I just noticed at least one journalist who worked on this — who previously followed me — at some point unfollowed me. It’s possible that happened before and I just noticed now. But broadly, a classy non-response 🙄
I also want to highlight that, even more than me, the Canadian Anti-Hate Network has been ALL OVER THIS ISSUE for AGES. I use them as a massive resource in my work. They got ONE mention in the CBC article despite their website being FULL of stuff CBC mentioned. Show @antihate.ca some love.
When the people withdraw their labor, the empire crumbles. A General Strike is not just a tactic it’s a weapon of the masses against the violence of colonial capitalism. GSUS is building dual power, disrupting the machine from within. We are not waiting for justice. We are seizing it. #GSUS

How about climate change? Green energy? Ffs
It also covers two-thirds of all nursing home stays.
The agency is closing the Office of Research and Development, which analyzes dangers posed by hazards including toxic chemicals, climate change, smog, wildfires, water pollution and more.
This aged so incredibly well.
I find this article weirdly focuses on Mennonites rather than the "trucker convoy" crowd.
And Ontario.
We don't have an RFK but we do have a DS in Alberta an a DF in Ontario. Manitoba has large very young population, many not old enough to be vacvinated: forest fires have forced large numbers of isolated northern communities south which makes them even more vulnerable.
