Fun fact: Carney wasn’t even welcome in Prince Rupert for this announcement — local nations including Lax Kw’alaams and Metlakatla are opposing Ksi Lisims LNG. He had to change the venue last minute, yet the Feds and province are still rushing to fast-track this giveaway to US billionaires. #bcpoli

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Every time she comes up, I remind you all that Pamela Paul killed a pro trans paragraph in a review I wrote for the New York Times, lied about it in the press, then when I confronted her with receipts, said “Let’s keep this to ourselves.”
In which a straight woman highlights a bunch of known anti trans activists and claims there's a divide in the queer community.
It's pure propaganda and gaslighting.

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.
Statement from the president of the Parliamentary Press Gallery, on Prime Minister Mark Carney’s trip to Egypt:
“It is unprecedented that Canadian media be entirely excluded from a Canadian prime minister’s foreign trip.”
