25 years ago today I stood on a blockade on the Adams Mine road. In defiance of potential mass arrests we held Thanksgiving dinner for 1,000 people.
I made the decision that weekend that I would dedicate my life to resistance and defending people.
Happy Thanksgiving

The profound inhumanity and sadistic violence of the Trump regime is only outweighed by the incredible bravery, compassion, and basic decency of the everyday people who are risking everything to defy Fascism, and protect their neighbours.

It's a time of monsters, yes, but also Heroes.

I was 21 years in Canada's parliament and I have 2 simple questions:

2. Why did @mark-carney.bsky.social let him ban the Irish group @kneecapceol.bsky.social?
If there is a fund to sue for damages, count me in.

I'm glad that Charlie Angus is reaching a larger audience, he's doing far more to unite Canadians against fascism than Carney, who keeps making moves like this that are frankly terrifying. #cdnpoli

It is clear that Trump is not going to stop in his attack on Canadian manufacturing. The PM is going to have to put a strong plan in place to support our auto, lumber, steel, aluminum sectors.
This is a speech I gave to autoworkers in Oshawa.

The issue is that the decision by @vgasparro.bsky.social to ban @kneecapceol.bsky.social pushed PM @mark-carney.bsky.social into a tiny group along with Victor Orban's Hungary and Trump.
So did Vince do this on his own or did PM Carney target these Irish artists?
We need answers.

Personally, I would think that calling out those who would burn the planet to make profits for the super rich and rob of our children of a future should be top of the list of obligations.
Wouldn't you?

Harper made Canada the worst climate performer among industrial nations, ranked 58th best by the international Climate Change Performance Index.

Trudeau made Canada an even worse climate arsonist than under Harper, dropping us to an even more dismal 62nd place.

Maybe you should contact the PM and ask him why he is floating these trial balloons.
My experience in two decades of politics is that when a political leader makes a public statement about a very controversial issue it's because they are looking to see if people are going to respond.

Hmm... and then he announced he would be willing to reconsider the tanker ban and get rid of the emissions cap. On top of cutting our EV standards.
Burning the planet is always a convenient option for bankers.
Not so good for the rest of us.

The great derangement syndrome. As the world blows past the 1.5 degree red line Trump and Carney talk about reviving Keystone XL.
It won't lower tariffs on wood, furniture, steel, auto.
But it will be a massive carbon bomb to a struggling planet.

The Great derangement syndrome:
People telling me to stop talking about a burning planet when our Prime Minister has a "nation-building" plan to build oil pipelines, repeal the tanker ban, kill the emissions cap.
Trump is a convenient excuse for the plant burners. www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...
