Gonna be interesting watching liberals do mental gymnastics justifying this one

Steven Guilbeault: "If you look at our campaign platform during the last election, commitments that we made to Canadians, mentioned climate change 28x. It did not mention pipelines once. So I think rightfully so, some people are wondering what is happening."

BREAKING: Ontario Liberal Party investigates their own alleged misconduct— finding is not guilty! 😮

NEW COLUMN: The Ontario Liberal Kangaroo Court has handed out their ruling, and Nate Erskine-Smith’s appeal is summarily dismissed. Walk through the full reasoning of their 17-page decision with me, as we examine their suspect logic. https://t.co/9T684i9BQN

This past Monday marked Tamil Genocide Remembrance Day, & days earlier was Nakba Remembrance Day. Painful histories that are not just memories, but still reality for families today. Our city must stand with humanity & hold accountable those who enable atrocities.

[Don Davies @DonDavies]

Sure! I’m FOR:
an east-west-north clean electricity grid, investment in sustainable energy like solar + wind, mass public transit, inter-city rail & bus service, transition to non-ICE vehicles, energy retrofits & conservation measures, protecting our coasts, preserving our planet

[Heidi Matthews @Heidi__Matthews]

It’s only when Netanyahu himself has already denounced Ben Gvir that @MarkJCarney speaks out. Yet Palestinian captives are tortured, harassed and sexually abused daily. Canada must denounce the wider system of Israeli detention practices as an instrument of illegal occupation.

Uh-huh

[Bonita Zarrillo ⚖️ @BonitaZarrillo]

Interesting that Mark Carney appointed a minister of AI but not one for persons with disabilities or labour. It seems he has no interest in the reality of human beings.

[Alistair MacGregor @AMacGregor4CML]

Our Conservative PM is making Stephen Harper blush.

[@bryantheva.bsky.social 🍉 @BryanTheva]

You know that Canadians really vote more on personality than policy because Carney will pass the same right-wing legislation as Poillevre, except not be a dick to news reporters, and everyone will clap like seals.

[Scott Robertson @sarobertson_]

Fred DeLorey on the Alberta pipeline announcement: "It's very, very hard to be a Conservative messaging on this right now. It's like 'Mark Carney, the day he's elected, should have grabbed a shovel and started digging that pipeline. Why didn't he get it done then?'"

NEW - NDP leader Stiles moves a unanimous consent motion to compel the Premier to pay the $190,000 in fees related to the private jet out of his own pocket. It gets rejected by the government benches.

[@bryantheva.bsky.social 🍉 @BryanTheva]

@CoakerDavid Yes, but the fact that he did it by taxing the rich and not slashing social services and public sector jobs is the cool thing!

[Scott Robertson @sarobertson_]

NDP Leader Avi Lewis calls for the permanent deletion of Section 107 (the power to end a legal strike) from the Canada Labour Code.

[Diana Chan McNally @DianaCMcNally]

As I wrote in my own @TorontoStar op-ed on this issue, it's already illegal to openly use drugs on the TTC. What @fordnation is doing is giving transit constables the power to arrest and seize the belongings of people they *think* might have or use drugs. That's called profiling.

[Bob Chandler @leftylabourtech]

Rather than navigating the shit show that is the OLP, anti-Ford voters in Scarborough Southwest should support @FatimaShabanNDP , a working class mom and tenant activist who actually lives the daily struggles of so many of the voters.

Seating chart for the #CLC2026 convention reveals that public sector unions are a dominant force. Interestingly, CUPE is Canada’s largest union by far, but NUPGE has sent a much larger delegation.

I tried to attend the @OntariosDoctors annual general meeting tonight in Ottawa, and was removed from the room by members of their executive team Sandy Zidaric and Adam Farber because I wore my watermelon pin that I’ve worn countless times without issue in many spaces including on parliament hill. They cited the concern that the watermelon pin as a political symbol could possibly make other physician colleagues in the room “uncomfortable” or “unsafe”.

All the while genocide continues in Palestine. When I asked if their policy of what could not be worn on the bodies of their members in their meetings have applied to any other political symbols or attire, they could not give me other examples. They asked me to remove the watermelon pin or leave the room, or sit in another room by myself to tune into the meeting virtually. I declined and left. I explained to them this is an incredibly disappointing and discriminatory policy for their meetings, and I hope it is revised.

I know medical colleagues including medical learners who have been kicked out of clinic because they wore a watermelon pin. These are examples of anti-Palestinian racism. As a physician, I stand in solidarity with my Palestinian medical colleagues who have been killed by the Israeli military and continue to be subjected to genocidal violence. Over 1,700 Palestinian healthcare workers have been killed by the Israeli military in Gaza. Many Palestinian healthcare workers remain in Israeli captivity and are being tortured by the Israeli military, including Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, a paediatrician who stayed to care for his patients in the hospital he was the medical director of.

Shame on @OntariosDoctors for not only censoring what is allowed to be displayed on the bodies of their members, and even more so to be painfully silent in the face of attacks on our medical and healthcare worker colleagues in Palestine. Don’t look away from the genocide in Gaza. These acts of discrimination are forms of racism, and racism is a distraction from the real issue of ending Canadian complicity in Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
