whatever you do, don't buy out the 407. Wipe out cattle farms and force Ontarians to eat a plant based diet. It's so perfectly ironic I'm torn 🥦

A fun thing to remember on Labour Day is that Mark Carney eliminated the Cabinet role Minister of Labour, a position that had existed for more than a century under governments of all stripes, and Canada is currently without a labour minister for the first time since 1909.

I can't believe Canadians are in favour of gutting rights and freedoms but as long as we look away and imagine some grand plan then everything seems okay. Vibes polling? For me Carney has to announce SWE Gripens and SK subs & arms if he's serious. No such magical imprinting left for Starmer

I don't think it'll be done with marches anymore. Widespread no-USA booze didn't require a formal protest. From 2018 CTV showed how misreporting protests outside their own window made them useless as people sought validation from the media not fellow protesters. Skipping MSM skips their control

begin at the beginning. There is momentum at the moment. The advantage now is that people are realizing many things around them aren't Canadian and aren't there for us. Even the #ElbowsUp movement isn't owned by Carney and has surpassed him. We're heading towards a "Canadian Spring"

Thanks to the NDP for splitting the vote and keeping Ford in power again and again and again. If you could possibly just NOT run in a minimum of 30 ridings, ridings you lose anyway, then a coalition gov't was possible. Leaders who cannot form a coalition must resign

If LIBNDP stopped vote splitting in 30 ridings, a GRN NDP LIB government coalition could have been made

Pedal through any Dutch city, and it feels like it’s always been filled with red cycle paths. But the fact is urban cycling infrastructure didn’t exist anywhere until 1975, when a trial project in Tilburg laid the basis of a national standard for legibility, comfort, and status for people on bikes.🧵

People of all ages and abilities ride bicycles along a red asphalt cycling-priority street in Tilburg after dark. The route is lined with two-storey houses, trees and plantings, lighting fixtures, and parked bikes.

If we have to start saying Aluminium then I'm all for it

Yes & no, he did buy a $9Bil Australian sensor array very quickly. Other nations who ditched the plane provide cover. Just confirm F-35s are too expensive and out of our budget, and we'll meet our goals with a more Nordic alliance and thus Gripens. And if they're really on the ball, Gripen Es & Fs

Never a Con. Several things, I was hoping their direct visit to Saab with the procurement minister, the Nordic 5 council meeting inviting and hosting Canada, Carney visits all around the area, were all a build up to the announcement for Gripens. But nothing. 🤷

Yeah I have to question if DND is even Canadian the metrics across the board are so completely terrible. Multiple countries have ditched the lemon you'd think we could take a hint. Know anyone in office who passed Grade 2? @mark-carney.bsky.social #GripenOclock #budget #cdnpoli #sweden

A while ago I had blisters on my feet walking around SF and across the GG Bridge, so on my way back I walked across in socks! Comfy!

Can upgrade drones with better chips. We need a lot more non-USA defence producers in Canada so I think this will work out quite well. Obviously focuses on Ukraine now but with all kinds of partners in the future too. Canadian hydroelec carbon-free aluminum materials a big deal next year in the EU

Ford here is construction crazy. If AB ON NS magically went Green, had a Footloose moment or whatever, windmills in the water windmills by mountains, battery storage, crying all the way to the bank. Not even including solar and geothermal. But nope. Distractions everywhere nationally. Weird sauce

Indeed it looks like an open/shut case. My gripe is really with Lukaszuk, who doesn't acknowledge that FN owns the land in anything I've read, or I've missed it? Doing so though would take all the hot air out of the situation when everybody realizes just how impossible it is.

Yes, fair point. But I'm not seeing how it can matter if the treaties were made before Alberta event existed. I know people mean well but I feel they are being lead to believe the situation is more dire than it is. FN treaties act as additional protection against any separation but isn't mentioned

Treaty 8 alone is utterly huge. It doesn't belong to the people of Alberta. Yes stupid people. It's stupid to believe, or to be lead to believe, that you control or own something that you do not. At all. Why no one can just look at a map makes me the bad guy. Alrightie then 🤷

I hereby petition to bulldoze your house. It's stupid for stupid people. I don't have the right. I can pretend as much as I want I guess if I have nothing better to do on a summer afternoon

It's not Lukaszuk's call to determine if Alberta stays or goes.

except they are not the officials that determine if Alberta stays in Canada. 100% of Albertans could lose their minds and demand to leave Canada, and STILL they are not in charge one way or the other. First Nations owns the land, no one else. Their constant dismissiveness of FN's is astounding

I need @mark-carney.bsky.social to cancel remainder of Fealty-35s. Many nations have already ditched the plane due to cost overruns, giving us cover to do the same. We need to stop being suckers, go #Gripens, tie us w/ Sweden and Nordic 5, if I'm supposed to take his actions seriously. #GripenOclock
