Biodiversity, community & kindness are real wealth. Economic growth is a suicide pact. Seeking humour while forever opposing disinformation, hate & ecocide.

How does everyone feel about Mechahitler creating a personalized disinformation feed just for you?

Bye bye heuristics, hello even more fascist normalization by any means possible.

@MarkJCarney Carney will "fight climate change" by putting more fossil fuels at the top of his list of major projects after ramming through legislation to explicitly help major projects ignore environmental laws, climate warnings be damned.

@ClimateDad77 Lobbying is the most lucrative investment in history, with a 150,000% rate of return in favourable policy, special tax breaks, lucrative government contracts, or even retroactive immunity to the law.

That kind of cheddar buys an awful lot of lobbyists.

As Canada watches US media collude with the Trump regime & increasingly silence every voice critical of fascism, Canucks need to remember that the majority of "Canadian" media has been foreign controlled since Stephen Harper was in the PMO.

@avilewis I don't consider it a "significant" fine when the price for breaking the law is no more than one tenth of the profits gained by doing so and no executive is inconvenienced.

A genuinely significant fine is greater than the profit gained through the initial wrongdoing.

@WordsmithJenn Vance & other monsters who Trump installed in various positions of power share his hateful ideology, but lack his inability to focus and utter lack of even momentary self control. Trump's absence will mean less random chaos, but more rapid escalation of fascism.

After election: elbows down

On campaign: public services budget will go up by no more than 2% with no job losses

@Tori_TLCR "Binding arbitration" = "You'll keep right on doing all that unpaid work and shut up about it without inconveniencing anyone with talk of your labour rights."

In the name of fighting censorship, the Trump administration is shaping digital ecosystems to favor its preferred narratives while chilling dissent. It is a form of soft epistemic authoritarianism—and we all (I hope) know what comes next.

@kim_siever The tools we use to measure in our economy, with GDP topping the list, are precisely the wrong ones for the job, and play a large role in why our economy is steering towards a cliff while we're all being gaslit about it being good news.

@BestStephenD @MarkJCarney @liberal_party "Pre-election, the Liberals promised to “never” compromise women’s rights in Canada. Now the government is talking about cuts so deep that they will exceed those that laid waste to the women’s sector during the Harper years."

@BestStephenD @MarkJCarney @liberal_party Before election: "We support pharmacare, we'll better fund CBC, public service budgets will rise 2%"

After election: "We won't fund pharmacare, CBC has to make cuts, Public service budgets drop 15%"

Just about every damned part of the LPC platform was pure bait & switch.

@globalnews In the middle of the worst cost of living crisis in generations, the new federal government has repeatedly prioritized benefits to the already very rich. There is absolutely no way a recession's avoidable, but they only care that it doesn't hurt the rich.

@brianlilley It couldn't be more dishonest to call this guy a "Christian singer" when the actual biblical Christ would find his political views so thoroughly repellent he'd puke.

If you check your bible you'll find that Christ was pro immigrant and pro tolerance and opposed hateful shit.

[Michael Nabert @SustainableSong]

@MrJoKeR604 It's interesting to see this guy endlessly labelled a "Christian singer" when his immigrant-hating intolerant views would make the biblical Christ puke his guts out.

@LauraBabcock And yet approval of Poilievre's policies has reached an enormous high as long as they're being delivered by Mark Carney.

So Poilievre's actual agenda wasn't the problem?

[Michael Nabert @SustainableSong]

@roadguy0513 And yet, Mark Carney is delivering all of the planks of Poilievre's platform anyway, from new pipelines & killing the carbon tax to increasing inequality by prioritizing the rich to following Trump's lead to attacking immigrants & citizen rights.

So only the sign colour matters?

[Michael Nabert @SustainableSong]

@SquirrelyWorld @Lefty_Mind This isn't tax cuts for the rich.

Except when it clearly is.

Repeatedly.

@Smith4Gm @Lefty_Mind This graph brought to you by people who want you to pretend that trying to survive on $2.01 per day somehow doesn't count as poverty.

While also wanting us to pretend that the current highest level of inequality in our country's history is totally fine.

@SVeteikis @kim_siever @liberal_party It's not "pragmatic" to cheerlead for Carney to

cook the climate
follow Trump's lead in the Middle East
support Israel's war crimes
magnify inequality
violate citizen privacy
reduce transparency
decide when environmental laws shouldn't apply
attack immigrants
deliver austerity
