- The case for proportional representation is undeniable. CTV reports on how our democracy distorting voting system fuels regional divisions, and how proportional representation can fix it. @mark-carney.bsky.social, will you champion a system where every vote truly counts? #cdnpoli
- No more blue wall, red wall: How electoral reform could stop regional election sweeps nationalnewswatch.com/2025/05/14/n...
- Reminder to @mark-carney.bsky.social of the #Climate survivors in #Canada calling on the Canadian Government to implement and #EmissionsCap without delay: www.protectwhatwelove.ca Another #Wildfire season has started & big polluters should do the bare minimum: www.sierraclub.ca/action-item/...
- My cousin was evacuated last night because of wildfire. This is the climate crisis. Yet the BC NDP want to build another fracked gas pipeline? Tell Premier Eby and Minister Davidson: Stop the PRGT pipeline. Send a letter now: www.dogwoodbc.ca/petitions/pr... #StopPRGT #FrackFreeBC
- PM Mark Carney's government must pick a path. At a time when there are evacuations in Manitoba and Northern Ontario, it is irresponsible to increase the expansion of volatile, unnecessary fossil fuel projects. 🧵 globalnews.ca/news/1117981...
[Not loaded yet]- I predict the BC NDP will come to regret bills 14 and 15. They are buying an endless series of political and legal headaches here, alienating supporters, and handing detractors a steady stream of ammunition both on process and outcome. thetyee.ca/News/2025/05...
- Episode 3 of WILDFIRE airs tonight at 8 (or you can watch it online at www.knowledge.ca/program/wild...) This is a big episode where the very real dangers of the job are presented. My thanks to the Mackay and Gale families for allowing us to tell their stories.
- A third-generation wildfire fighter is always thinking about the safety of his crew. A smokejumper puts his work to the ultimate test when he jumps with the first parachute he’s packed himself. Watch the third episode of Wildfire, a new docuseries on Knowledge Network. knowledge.ca/wildfire

- Well that's a wrap. I was in Ottawa this morning to sign all the official papers ending 21 years as the elected Member of Parliament. It has been a great honour to serve my country in parliament. But the work carries on. See you on the road.
- Tremendous gratitude to you @charlieangus104.bsky.social for your integrity and commitment to serving your constituents and to speaking out about so many important issues (Indigenous rights, workers rights, democracy, antifascism) that impact all of us across the country. In solidarity and song!

- Had the privilege of interviewing @naomiaklein.bsky.social about Trump's unique "shock doctrine," and how Americans can stand up to the apocalyptic worldview of billionaires like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

- Israel is preventing the WHO from sending incubators into Gaza. Think about how savage, how barbaric, how evil, you have to be to defend that and defend the government doing that.

- As wildfire season begins, a warning: the locations we love won’t wait for us to confront the climate crisis. #SignedSearedDelivered is a new initiative of @climateunit.bsky.social that flips the classic postcard on its head w/ a scorching message to those in power. 🧵 www.signedseareddelivered.com
- Re-upping this thread. As Prime Minister @mark-carney.bsky.social puts finishing touches on new ministerial mandate letters & federal budget, we dearly need to see an ambitious Youth Climate Corps! An audacious YCC (not a small pilot) is purpose-build for the crises we face today. Let's do it! 👇
- The youth unemployment rate continues to climb, negatively impacting our economy, mental health & wellbeing. At 14%, it's the highest since 2014 (excluding the pandemic). We have a solution. Enter: The Youth Climate Corps 🫱🏼🫲🏿. 1/6 🧵 (plus check out the photos of inspiring youth fighting for a YCC)

- Our economy must be better for workers say @1alexhemingway.bsky.social and colleagues. The economy can be more resilient with more democratic workplaces where workers have more control and federal legislation for Employee Ownership Trusts can help achieve this aim. bcpolicy.ca/2025/05/06/r...

- I am reminded that every picture taken in the wild is actually a documentation of the changes. I was on a hotshot crew about 35 years ago. Talking to the guys on the line now, they don't get breaks in the season anymore. More fires, more intense.
- can some U.S. climate organization do this for US @altnps.bsky.social ? @cclusa.org @350us.bsky.social @thirdactorg.bsky.social @climatedefiance.bsky.social @climaterealityproject.org @ran-org.bsky.social @climatejusticeuk.bsky.social

- I'm a leftwing Canadian. I've never, in my life, been represented by a government at any level that comes close to sharing my political beliefs. And you don't see me whining about it... Ok, you do see me whining about it, constantly, but you don't see news orgs writing about me whining about it.
