Absolutely sickening

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

My statement on Iran-related hostilities in the Middle East:

[Avi Lewis @avilewis]

The images coming out of Iran are already unbearable. Reports of an elementary school struck by missiles, killing dozens of people, with scores more killed around the country. Fear and chaos in the streets as families run through smoke and search for safety. 

The United States and Israel have launched an illegal act of war while Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu speak openly of regime change. This is what Prime Minister Mark Carney says he supports. He has issued a statement so brazenly belligerent that even Conservatives like Jason Kenney are cheering it on.

It’s a shameful moment that buries all of Carney’s high-minded rhetoric in Davos under the rubble.

These leaders justify this war as serving Iranian liberation. But the courageous movement in Iran that has been fighting tyranny for nearly five decades — and is still reeling from the worst massacre in the country’s modern history in January — will suffer a massive setback from these foreign bombs. 

We remember the disastrous outcomes of previous U.S.-led wars of regime change in the Middle East, including in Iraq. They led to hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths, sectarian conflict, and a world that is less safe, not more. The current attacks on Iran must stop now, before the entire region is plunged into conflict, death, and destruction.

My thoughts are with the people in Iran and around the world who are watching this unfold with heartbreak and uncertainty. 

Freedom will not come from military intervention by outside powers, it can only come from the Iranian people. War is not the way.

The NDP's statement on Iran correctly hammers Carney for being a Trump bootlicker

[Luke Savage @LukewSavage]

No one should be under any illusions here. Canada’s government is supporting, apparently without reservation, an illegal war of aggression initiated by Donald Trump, the neocons in his administration, and Israel. That’s it.

well guess he lost the debate

[Ashok Kumar @comrade_kumar_]

Charlie Kirk has defended every massacre in Gaza and used every platform available to justify Israel’s starvation campaign

If Zohran Mamdani becomes NYC mayor at the age of 33 it will be a death blow to millions of young south Asian men in this country.

Every desi parent is gonna be like, “Zohran was Mayor of New York City at 33! You haven’t even bought a house yet! Why can’t you be more like him?!?”

Ohhhh dark days ahead for south Asian men. Smh.

its white boy jihad summer

MAYBE GOOD THINGS ARE POSSIBLE

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

Congratulations, @ZohranKMamdani. What you’ve built goes far beyond New York City. You've captured the imagination of progressives everywhere with a blueprint for how we can win: with hope, with values, and with the belief that politics can be a force for good. We’re watching—and we’re inspired.

[Luke Savage @LukewSavage]

It’s not over yet etc etc, but tonight is a generation-defining victory for democratic socialism, for pluralism, for progress, for human rights, and for the common good.

Fuck the billionaires. We will win. 🌹

[Andy Borkowski @HuffinRadaway]

Disgusting

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

Iran’s nuclear programme is a grave threat to international security, and Canada has been consistently clear that Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon.  

While U.S. military action taken last night was designed to alleviate that threat, the situation in the Middle East remains highly volatile. Stability in the region is a priority.

Canada calls on parties to return immediately to the negotiating table and reach a diplomatic solution to end this crisis. As G7 leaders agreed in Kananaskis, the resolution of the Iranian crisis should lead to a broader de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, including a ceasefire in Gaza.

[Luke Savage @LukewSavage]

It's simply beyond me how anyone can witness this state of affairs and believe the solution is another round of liberal incrementalism

[Luke Savage @LukewSavage]

Adam Vaughan built his reputation on being a progressive independent who fought the Fords, then jumped ship to the Liberals. Now he's taking what can only be an extremely lucrative gig at the Ford government's pet luxury development project. What an absolute joke.

#MayDay

[Justin Morissette 👊🏻 @JustinMoris]

I believe the A&W Guy could fully reshape the NDP into a national juggernaut. Find me a Canadian more powerfully associated with the colour orange currently

[Duncan Kinney @duncankinney]

cannot say enough how much i despise the leaders and the senior leadership of canada's three major political parties. whatever the result tonight we all lose.

[Karl Bélanger ✖ @KarlBelanger]

Proponents of strategic voting got 8 more Liberal seats.

They also got 25 more Conservative seats.

[Luke Savage @LukewSavage]

Congratulations to the excellent @LeahGazan on her reelection in Winnipeg tonight. Another voice the House of Commons badly needs, and hands down one of the best MPs in the country.

[Luke Savage @LukewSavage]

Whatever the outcome of Canada's election there's a deep irony in a campaign where millions rallied behind a banker amid looming threats from the USA only to produce an Americanized electoral map split mainly between a hard right conservative party and a right-leaning liberal one
