@stacescases2.bsky.social Interesting to hear the younger man say “I think Canada’s let us down “…..Er, was he looking at the guy he was talking to? Somebody’s been let down by the system, for sure. Living with a disability and the system can’t cover his expenses enough so he needs to panhandle? So sad that the system forces this indignity on people. Still it was awesome to see & hear this respectful exchange. Thanks for sharing!

@avilewis nit picky here but I don't want the NDP to be a "big tent party". I want it to be a social democratic party. That might bring me back into the fold.

@scott Indeed.

@chad NB’s decision to stop using X matters , AND durability is the big test. To last beyond one premier, exit must move from practice → policy: TBS or Exec Council dirs, comms + records/FOI + public access standards, leg committee review, + invest in non-commercial chans like the fediverse. Democracy lasts when choices become boring bureaucracy. Holt is the leader of the Liberal Party of NB. Question: Has the NB Liberal Party officially left X as a policy? #MastoCanadaGOV

@DebEruptsWins what? At this time his fascist pet in the White House is creating a massive radical backlash. Ukraine has become even tighter with the EU and chewing Putin's soldiers up like a meat grinder.@DrALJONES

"Some are saying we’ll have a 10% GDP loss at between 3C and 4C degrees [of global heating], but the physical climate scientists are saying the economy and society will cease to function as we know it. That’s a big mismatch"#Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #NoPipelines

2. Beyond the general sense of camaraderie of a political convention, it'senjoyable to go to a place where people share my basic political inclinations.Imagine that you're in a party in the evening with other delegates: "Who's infavour of lower taxes?" *Cheers!* "Who wants to lock up criminals?" *Cheers!*"Who supports a stronger military?" *Cheers!* "Who supports law-abiding gun owners?" *Cheers!* "Who's proud of Canadian history?" *Cheers!* 6/n

@tabmcleo Looks like Carney is just appeasing big business by getting rid of the electric vehicle sales mandate and replacing it with rebates that likely won't be used much.

@stephanie How to reduce personnel without layoffs.Is it going from 2 to 4 days per week‽

@ZenHeathen @anakin78z i think it's a great idea... but I think they are way too concerned about the reaction of automakers to have the courage to do it.
