When the government claims TMX is mega profitable (Tim Hodgson keeps saying $1 billion a year), remember that we BOUGHT IT for $34 billion.

So it won’t be profitable for *34 years* at this rate, and that’s if oil demand doesn’t decline! (It will!)

It very likely will NEVER be profitable:

[Rachel Gilmore @atRachelGilmore]

If I bought a PS5 for $800, and I was bringing in 25$ a year charging people to play it, would you let me call that profitable — especially when new models are bound to come out? NO!

So don’t let the government do that! Journalists have to push back on it.

At $100 billion over their lifecycle the cost of Carney’s planned dozen submarines would cover Environment & Climate Change Canada’s annual budget for 58 years

It's straight up criminal to be building fossil fuel infrastructure in this era of climate catastrophe.

there is no way to reform this. it’s pure lawlessness. we must restore law, order and accountability.

we must abolish ice. we must punish ice.

politicians who have funded and thanked ice should take a cold hard look at what they’ve allowed to take place on our streets.

All pretence cast aside. A vicious attack on the Anti-Zionist movement by the British state acting for the Zionist regime in defence of genocide.

Shameful.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Mister Guilbeault. Steven Guilbeault gave “activist” cred to a genocidal and ecocidal Liberal government.

If Guilbeault cared about Palestinian rights he would have left the Liberals long ago. Instead, he was in the cabinet of a government that enabled Israel’s holocaust in Gaza.

The only public statement Guilbeault seems to have made regarding the conflict came soon after Hamas’ October 7 assault. On X he posted, “Canada condemns the violent terrorist attacks on Israel. Full stop.” It linked to a message from the prime minister noting, “Canada strongly condemns the current terrorist attacks against Israel. These acts of violence are completely unacceptable. We stand with Israel and fully support its right to defend itself.”

As Israel “defended itself” by killing 100 000 Palestinians in Gaza, Guilbeault stayed mum. An individual who said I “came into politics so I could continue to be an activist” ignored the many thousands who marched in his riding and a Laurier—Sainte-Marie Palestine solidarity group’s repeated appeals to support a long-term ceasefire and two-way arms embargo. Activists asked Guilbeault to raise his voice against Israel’s siege of Gaza and Canada’s complicity in Israel’s occupation, organizing multiple protests and town halls focused on the environment minister’s complicity in genocide. But he failed to even meet with organizers.

On a dozen occasions I asked my MP about his failure to heed community groups repeated requests to back an arms embargo or if Israel was committing “ecocide” in Gaza or if he thought Canadians fighting in Gaza should be pursued under Canada’s War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity Act. He ignored me. The progressive “activist” was undoubtedly complicit in genocide.

Guilbeault was also complicit in climate crimes. As environment minister in 2022 he approved the Baie du Nord offshore oil project. That project could lead to the extraction of up to 1 billion new barrels of oil amidst a deepening climate crisis. At a July 2023 press event activist Laurel Thompson unfurled a climate sign next to Guilbeault while I yelled from the back of the room “the world is on fire. Shut the tar sands down or resign”.

Instead of resigning over Canada’s ‘climate bomb’, the activist environment minister granted oil and gas companies extra time to meet greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets. Guilbeault was also minister in a government that spent $30 billion on the tar sands enabling Trans Mountain pipeline.

During his time in cabinet the federal government plowed large sums into free bridges and roads as well as other climate exacerbating projects. They also exempted the Department of National Defence, which emits over half of federal government GHGs, from emissions reduction targets.

Despite claiming to take the climate crisis seriously, the Trudeau/Guilbeault cabinet failed to put the country on track to meet even dangerously insufficient targets for reducing GHG emissions. With among the highest per capita emissions, Canadian GHG emissions barely budged during the Trudeau government’s time in office.

Steven Guilbeault was part of ecocidal and genocidal Liberal governments for far too long.

@xierra @avilewis Nah this is the MAGA-Trump-America -tech bros plan for the world. They want to put us all out of work and let us rot or just get rid of us all so the robots can do everything for them and they can have the whole world all to themselves, because it's never enough for them already

This is — without exaggeration — the biggest scandal of the century 🤯

🔴 Trump is selling presidential pardons.
🔴 Netanyahu is leading coups in LatAm.
🔴 Milei is destabilizing his neighbors.
🔴 JOH is acting as a US colonial agent.
🔴 And so, so much more.

Above all, Hondurasgate is a violent wake-up call for defenders of democracy across the world.

The Reactionary International is outpacing us in every single dimension: they are more agile, more creative, more audacious. and more effective.

The first step of our response is transparency: to track the long list of crimes that these reactionary forces are committing in service of their colonial project.

The second is accountability: to apply
the legal tools that we have to ensure that these crimes do not go uncontested, and that delinquents like JOH are punished.

But the third must be articulation: to develop our own networks that do not simply give speeches and sign declarations but act with the same determination to defend and deepen our democracies from the insidious tactics of this global network of reactionary forces.

[B'Tselem בצלם بتسيلم @btselem]

Israel is running a network of torture camps for Palestinians. Our reports, Welcome to Hell and Hell on Earth, extensively documented a reality of extreme violence, starvation, and torture.

Now, in a major @nytimes investigation, journalist @NickKristof published terrible testimonies concerning sexual violence and the use of sodomy as a tool of interrogation and humiliation by Israeli forces.

Palestinian prisoners are subjected to severe violence, deliberate humiliation, starvation, sleep deprivation, denial of medical care, and abuse in every facility where they are held.

These abusive practices are fully backed by the political leadership, which openly boasts about the harsh prison conditions. Some inmates are subjected to severe sexual assaults.

At least 88 Palestinians have died in Israeli detention facilities since October 2023 as a result of inhumane conditions, violence, starvation, and the denial of medical treatment.

Despite the extensive evidence, media investigations, and reports issued by Israeli and international organizations documenting torture in Israeli prisons, the international community continues to stand by and allow Israel to commit crimes against the Palestinian people.

It's rare to see every tactic of the antisemitism hoax spelled out in one tweet, so we should really take advantage of it.

Let the noticing begin.

1⃣ Jews don't make up "less than 1%" of Canada’s population. They make up slightly more than 1%. Small detail, but another example of how Zionists are incapable of citing a number without lying about it.

2⃣ 70% of "religious" hate crimes? Note how they narrow the field by removing all reports of racist, sexist, homophobic, etc behavior.

It's worse because reports from white Jews are categorized as religious, while reports from brown Muslims are categorized as racist.

Which brings us to...

3⃣ These are REPORTED crimes, not investigated and confirmed crimes. An emotionally fragile, politically motivated community can inflate these figures without limit.

And no, you can't see the list of reports.

4⃣ "Canada" did not "record" 6,800 antisemitic incidents. B'nai Brith, a pro-Israel hate group, claims 6,800 incidents of antisemitism occurred.

And once again, you can't see the list.

5⃣ And here comes the money shot: "incitement". All of this lying and hysteria is in service of one agenda: shut down any and all criticism of Israel's genocide.

Stop falling for it, and start calling out any official who pretends this is real.

[Mahmoud Khalil | محمود خليل @mahmoudkhalel]

Everything is a blood libel. The ICJ ruling, a libel. The ICC warrants, a libel. The UN reports, libel. Amnesty, HRW, B'Tselem, libel. Survivors' testimony, libel. Your own soldiers charged at Sde Teiman, a libel. Chants at protests, libel.

The only entity on Earth that never lies, apparently, is the one currently on trial for genocide.

Grocery prices are up 30% in five years. Families are spending $1,000 more just to buy the same food.

And now grocery giants and tech companies are teaming up to use AI-powered algorithms and electronic shelf labels to charge you even more for the same carton of eggs, based on your data, your searches, what you click.

This is called surveillance pricing, and I'm bringing a vote to ban it in Ontario.

Manitoba's NDP government banned it. Doug Ford can too. He just has to choose people over corporations.

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

Less than 1% of OSAP was wrongly issued. Doug Ford invented a crisis to cut student aid...then spent $30M on a private jet. Wrong priorities. Wrong premier.
