Green Party Leader @elizabethemay.bsky.social thought Mark Carney was a man of “integrity” who would keep his word.
So when he promised to meet the Paris Agreement targets, she decided she would support his budget.
Just ten days later, his about-face left her with a sense of betrayal:

Green Party Leader Elizabeth May was the lone opposition MP who voted to support Mark Carney’s government in a recent budget vote.
Now, she says that was a 'mistake.'
That's why I've been dying to talk to her. Tomorrow, she's obliging me.

Deeply satisfying listen. Jesse Brown continues his generational run of stupid bitchery
Good morning. For this week’s episode of The North State, I sat down with @jessebrown.bsky.social and grilled him on his approach to his new series on antisemitism in Canada. What does Statistics Canada have to say about his attribution? Did he speak to law experts for his Heather Reisman interview?

We all know that ICE is violating human rights in the U.S.
But did you know a Canadian company is profiting off ICE? And that this same company has been ramping up its lobbying efforts?
Now, in my latest for @thetyee.ca, the government won't tell me if this is a red line for procurement:

We need to talk about Bill 9, Bill 9 and Bill C-9.
Somehow, they’re ALL awful — and they all infringe on the freedoms of Canadians, from trans Canadians, to visibly religious Canadians, to Canadians protesting genocide.
Can we agree: no more Bill 9s until we figure out what the hell is going on?

As Chantal Hébert said, folks are missing the climate forest for the pipeline trees.
Carney rolled back major climate policies for Alberta, now! In exchange for a lil industrial carbon price increase and the BS that is carbon capture!
Forgetting the pipeline, this is BAD for the climate crisis!

I'm not convinced that wasn't Carney's plan all along. It isn't Ottawa that said no to Alberta. "Now you run along, Danielle, and make friends and get it done." Oh wait, you can't? Oh well then, at least you tried.

The fallout from Carney's ~masterful gambit~ with Alberta continued today, when the Assembly of First Nations voted unanimously for it to be withdrawn.
All the while, Alberta has already found a new fight to pick with Ottawa (coincidentally, right after Danielle Smith was booed over the deal):

Redirecting those donors so his competitor, @votetanille.bsky.social, could stay in the race.
It worked -- but Tanille refused to leave Tony behind.

Incredible!! Just got confirmation from Tanille Johnston that it looks like their teamwork paid off:
Tony McQuail hit his fundraising goal after — along with Tanille and volunteers — they raised thousands in today’s telethon fundraiser.
Pretty astonishing, heartwarming stuff.
