Mark Carney shows contempt for all Canadians by excluding the press from foreign trips. He needs to apologize and make amends for this, and be shown he’s a democratic head of government not the chief executive of Canada Inc.

50501: The People’s Movement ❌👑 @50501movement.bsky.social · 9h
The secret power of a people’s movement is that it’s random.

It’s neighbors protecting immigrants from ICE. It’s millions canceling Disney+. It’s a man throwing a sandwich. It’s inflatable frogs dancing.

Dictators struggle to fight a movement, because they can’t do what they want most—control us.

I'm so sick of hearing these whines about higher costs for employers. What they're really moaning about is people - particularly in the public sector - getting long overdue pay rises. As anyone should know, if poorer people have more money they spend it and it's good for the economy. #r4today
