Three arrests yesterday in the Walbran Valley on Vancouver Island, where RCMP have been enforcing an injunction against activists opposing #oldgrowth logging. This is happening despite the forestry season being over.

P.S. THIS ENDS CANADIAN DEMOCRACY AND THE RULE OF LAW, ACTUALLY.
It’s naked corruption and a decimation of the rule of law:

“Prime Minister Mark Carney plans to grant cabinet ministers the power to exempt any individual or company from any federal law on the books — except for the Criminal Code — for up to six years. “ #cdnpoli

And what are our elected MPs doing right now on taxpayer dime? Debating about...debating.

Pointing fingers, playing politics while corporations monopolize markets that are putting basic needs out of reach of most Canadians.

Another disgusting move by @mark-carney.bsky.social & Danielle Smith against the environment & First Nations.

But what did you expect? Carney was a former banker & exec of #Brookfield Asset Mgmt. He's only here to enrich himself & greedy companies.

This agreement is a massive betrayal of Canada’s commitments on climate change and Indigenous rights.

Reproductive rights groups do NOT want the Quebec government to enshrine abortion rights in the province's proposed constitution. First, it's not really a constitution - it's a regular law that can be amended. And that would turn it into an anti-choice weapon to restrict abortion.
Why Quebec’s plan to enshrine abortion rights is raising alarms
Civil society groups are warning that the Legault government’s plan to enshrine abortion rights in Quebec’s proposed constitution could have unintended consequences.
