Selling off canadian assets to foreign corporations, totally not a matter of national security. Pinky swear honest

Olivia won: stay on offence. Because the money will find someone better than Bradford while Ford and Carney continue to mangle the commons. #TOpoli, #TorontoElection2026, #OliviaChow, #RentersVote, #StayOnOffence

David Graeber explained that one of the ways that Neoliberalism functions is through hopelessness. Our hope is killed until we think there is no point anymore and we just give up. Lula's amazing victory shows there still is hope. We should never give up!!!

Brad Bradford is the purest distillation of slippery weaselly believe-in-nothing nihilistic conservative grift I have ever seen in this city.

Perspective

“Ford says things are gonna get rough in Ontario because of tariffs … you know what made them rough? He did with largest subnational debt in the world, his scandals, his bullshit and his gravy class!” Welcome back to work Doug! 🇨🇦The OShow 🔗 youtu.be/OVmF2ptGNXE?si… #Onpoli

Could definitely put a dent in #IDUPlaybook

Canadians don’t want U.S.-style health care. On Nov. 28, we’re taking that message to Parliament Hill with the @onthealthcoalition.bsky.social On to Ottawa Trek. Free trains from Toronto, Kingston and Montreal. Details and seats:

Never forget that when Seoul, Korea removed the Cheonggyecheon expressway in 2003 and replaced it with a restored stream, 1000 acre park and improved public transit, not only did it TRANSFORM the city’s public life and economic success, but the car traffic got better. The car traffic got BETTER.

DOUG FORD DID THIS👇

Bill C-39 is a fundamental attack on our constitutional rights. We will not stay silent as Carney’s Liberal government violates our human rights. Standing in solidarity against Bill C-39 with Indigenous leaders, unions, environmental activists. Winnipeg Centre knows how to fight back.

#IDUPlaybook

The IDU is an international syndicate for far-right authoritarians, and Canada’s Conservative Party is actively aligned with it. Keeping membership in this organization is a direct betrayal of democratic values. An editorial by @taylornoakes.com.

The Government™ has made an ad about all these protests happening around the world, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

Did you know that BradBrad's wife - developer Kathryn Randle of Rockport - does her best larping at CycleToronto?

This is horrific. And unsurprisingly the work of a "conservative" multimillionaire. Other adjectives might include creepy, prurient, dictatorial and abusive, not to mention, of course, transphobic. Once more with feeling: we need to get the money out of politics. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Can we as a country just finally start holding Canadian owned companies and their malicious management accountable 2027 should be the #Boycott of #AirCanada #Loblaws #Rogers Just to name a few. And while the other airlines aren’t great, the other grocery stores are horrible the other

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

The stock markets and bond markets are no supporters of democracy, and we should never allow them to dictate the limits of politics.

Companies anyway possible to boycott and should seriously be boycotted🤬 cnca-rcrce.ca/2023/02/14/p...

My political education began in Brazil, where I lived from 1989-91. I learnt that the only defence we have is "conscientizaçao": raising awareness about the relations between exploiters and exploited, and the violence that underpins them. The Brazilians have once again demonstrated its power. ✊❤️‍🔥

Hey Toronto, who wants to see a Walkerton repeat? Extrapolating for the difference in population, Brad Bradford's Harris redux could sicken 1.38 million & kill 4200 people. Sounds fun right? But the issue isn't just about a potential Walkerton style failure, it is about institutional rot.

good morning fellow Toronto's please don't let us be mayored by a guy named Brad Bradford. A dud with a dangerous desire for power who would destroy this city from within. Olivia Chow is not a perfect mayor, but she's a damn sight better than anyone else on the ballot, and we can't backslide now.

"Jeunesse fâchée, pas facho". Plus cameos from the best and worst of the grown-ups. The dad that drops everything to run support, vs the bootlicking guidance counsellor who basically says: "hardship builds character." Part 2 on on the kids at the start of the Manifs

Canadian-operated gold mines in the Dominican Republic and Haiti are facing growing opposition from local communities who say their water, health, and livelihoods have been harmed by years of extractive operations. This week, community leaders will bring their concerns directly to Ottawa.

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

Toronto mayoral candidate Brad Bradford has a slew of bad supporters, like the CEO of Shopify and the founder of Rebel News. @desmondcole.bsky.social explains that we should judge politicians by the company they keep—and Bradford’s has questionable friends. youtube.com/shorts/En3PJ...

For two years, student-led protests have raged against Aleksandar Vučić and his corrupt government in Serbia. Today, in parliamentary elections, he was toppled. One of the most sustained protest movements in recent European history has succeeded. Resistance works.

It’s not just Europe. The greedy hoarders of all the wealth have done this. My hope is the 🌎 🌍 🌏 holds them accountable #avariceisasickness

It’s almost 24 hours since this article came out. Why hasn’t the slimeball been arrested yet? www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

If you hear chatter about the “Red-Green Alliance” or “Islamo-leftism” it’s probably linked to right-wing bullshit pumped out by French fascists who needed to abandon their antisemitism conspiracy theory in order to win over centrist voters with a more acceptable form of bigotry.

The know the they don't care. @mark-carney.bsky.social is making sure you kids will suffer. His won't. The country is burning. The feds are hushing www.nationalobserver.com/2026/08/11/o...

Canadians can’t afford rent. Food bank use is at a record high. Wages are stagnant while the rich are getting richer than ever before. Of all the people who could use this kind of federal support right now, venture capitalists are at the bottom of that list. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

If you think this is all there is and that things are gonna go the same way as the last two decades, you might be there for really shocking surprises. This is showing growing, ominous cracks, and going to crumble big time.

I was just thinking about Tom Robbins today and this quote of his makes me miss him so. 💙

Pete Hoekstra is threatening Canada about our interference in the melt-down of the Trump regime. Pete can fuck right back to Michigan.

This 246-page bill makes sweeping changes to labour rights, Indigenous sovereignty, and environmental protections. We need to take the time and care to do this properly.
