Mike locked himself up in their rehearsal space, he wrote all night and ended up with ‘In the End’ and the next morning Rob was the first one to show up and listen to it and he said “i dreamed we needed a song like that. this is the song. you made the song that i’d have imagined”
Avi Lewis: "There are people in the progressive liberal universe who are dismayed by this legislation and I encourage more of them to speak up before it's too late."
I’m increasingly convinced, watching his politics, that what motivates Carney the most isn’t brutally ~pragmatic~ economics.
The pipeline shows he’s willing to make moves with no economic case, seemingly to be popular in Alberta.
I think he’s motivated by his own legacy.
The Liberals and Conservatives just voted together to attack labour, environmental, and Indigenous rights to fast-track corporate mega projects.
This is the exact same approach the Liberals fought under Stephen Harper. Now, they're bringing back that very same agenda and Harper is cheering from the sidelines.
We don’t save Canada by sacrificing our environment and constitutional protections on the altar of private profits. Bill C-39 is an unmitigated disaster, and Canadians will be fighting back.

A massive Auditor General report confirmed that 12,000 Ontario government staff used unsecured AI sites, "accidentally" leaking confidential documents, health cards, and driver's licences because the Ford government failed to block data-sharing on 244 unsafe apps.
Considering that the PQ received only 28% of the popular vote, the fact that they ended up with a minority government is arguably a positive outcome for Quebec’s democracy. That said, we should keep in mind that under FPTP, the PQ could have still won a majority, they are only five seats short right now.
This minority government should now be an opportunity for Quebec’s political parties to seriously begin a conversation about electoral reform & to change the system for the next provincial election. Quebec should specifically implement a proportional representation system before the next election, so that a party cannot win a majority of seats and govern alone with only 40% or even 30% of the popular vote.
A proportional system would ensure that the composition of the National Assembly more accurately reflects the will of Quebec voters. And considering that the PQ, QS, and PCQ have all publicly supported electoral reform, there is already a solid foundation for that conversation. If Quebec is serious about making its democracy more representative, this is the moment to act.
