The Shallow State @ourshallowstate.bsky.social · 9d

(1/2) It's quite a phenomenon that a 79-year-old man struggling with speech and gait, can tell an audience that prices are down when they're up, that tariffs make other countries pay which they don't, that he has solved wars he hasn't, over and over again, and it gets reported as sane utterances.

Bill C-5: Climate Action is Nation Building!
Building up Canada as a strong nation means being a strong climate leader, not backpedalling on progress in favour of polluting industries. Yet that’s what our federal government is at risk of doing.
act.environmentaldefence.ca/page/173069/...

Canada: Let's Build a Climate-Forward Nation!

Canada wants to become an ‘energy superpower,’ but at what cost? Tell the Carney government that our strength as a country lies in climate leadership, not in accelerating pollution.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

George Stephanopoulos did what every journalist should’ve been doing since 2000 — shutting down GOP gaslighting, dodging, and endless filibusters meant to bury the truth.

Finally. Someone called out the BS on live TV. No more lies. No more games.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.

The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.
