A New ‘Fundamental Fairness’ Can Save Democracy, the Environment, and Canada
As major media focus on negotiations between Prime Minister Mark Carney and Donald Trump, it’s the Canadian people who are our best line of defence. We need a new fairness to empower ourselves.

A limit on extreme individual wealth above healthy, competitive rewards; With any extreme #wealth at the highest end of the spectrum clawed back and shared equally by all.

If you're watching the increasing scapegoating of immigrants in Canada by anti-democratic hate groups this is one of the most important podcasts you can listen to. It details how this is a long standing strategy of these groups (see Part 2, 45 mins in): bsky.app/profile/cool... #CDNpoli #ElbowsUp
@iwriteok.bsky.social walks Blake Wexler through the life and times of Carl Schmitt, a legal scholar born in Imperial Germany who would come to create the blueprint for how fascist movements could destroy liberal democracy from within.

Is it not completely obvious that Elon Musk is really just LARPing as Peter Weyland from Alien?
I mean I would compare Trump to the Alien creature Weyland (almost) unleashed on humanity for his own benefit, but that feels unfair to the Aliens from the Alien franchise somehow. #USpoli #ElonMusk

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Again stressing here that if you want to protect a democracy under these circumstances it's real important citizens concerned about democracy maintain strong connections with the people they know in that country's military.
“More and more cabinet members — Rubio, Miller, Noem — live on military bases now, & it's another parallel to Iraq, where the administration lived in the Green Zone. There’s something deeply unhealthy about a society where leaders are literally shut off from the communities that they govern.”
Don Moynihan on "Purge, Merge, and Surge"
"Instead of surging in Iraq, it’s happening here in American cities."

#Budget2025 has left many wondering about the future of the emissions cap.
“People want clear regulations on big polluters,” says Conor Cutis (@conorcurtis.bsky.social). Public polling shows strong support for a cap if well implemented.
