This probably wasn't the day I wanted to read about Carney's efforts to protect the auto sector from EV rules : firesmoke.ca/
Bloomberg: Canada to Stall Electric Vehicle Rules as Carney Seeks to Boost Auto Sector (and as Trump exhorts countries to dump any non-fossil fuel plans) #cdnpoli
Let me get this. Those that don't want the EV mandate would be the one that would never vote for the PM party. (they got a pipeline with the previous PM)
“Regrettably, Dr. Roberts’ office indicated that he can no longer join us to present today,” the PMO said in a statement distributed at the forum. “Our team will continue further engagement and discussions with him and other leading U.S.
And just so we're clear: What happened was that the fascist architect of Project 2025 opted out, not that our government wouldn't have taken the meeting had he been available.
They're still looking for "further engagement and discussions with him and other leading U.S. policy figures soon."
I keep telling people:
💩 💩 💩 💩 💩 Shitlibs are just fascists who are afraid they won't get any more dinner party invites if they say the words out loud. 💩 💩 💩 💩 💩
> The PMO added it would be beneficial for cabinet to hear Roberts's perspective and understand the White House's priorities as the government prepares for the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) review next year.
Riiiiight. Because they have no idea. Are they stupid or what?
FYI the TFWP that the Harper government expanded to bring in more than 500,000 LOW-SKILLED workers btwn 2006 and 2014 to be exploited by employers in the restaurant and retail industries, in addition to the agriculture industry, etc.?
Remember the Harper government that Pierre Poilievre propped up for a decade?
An update to Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine that targets the newest variants and is made entirely within Canada's borders was just approved by Health Canada.
Federal public servants took fewer sick days during peak pandemic remote work, but sick leave has now risen to pre-COVID levels, with 9.2 days on average in 2023–24.
Canada has taken the rare step of not signing onto a multi-country statement that demands Israel stop banning foreign journalists from entering Gaza and that local journalists be protected in the Palestinian territories.
OTTAWA - Canada has taken the rare step of not signing onto a multi-country statement that demands Israel stop banning foreign journalists from entering Gaza and that local journalists be
It's 2025, and Canada is literally on fire. 1 in 4 Canadians can't afford enough food to eat. Housing starts are down, and are projected to continue falling.
What are Carney's priorities? Subsidizing the fossil fuel industry, of course. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Amid his push to strengthen energy and economic ties with Europe, Prime Minister Mark Carney revealed Tuesday that the federal government will imminently be unveiling major new investments in port infrastructure.
"I used AI today. I had to get a briefing on Bill C-27, a piece of legislation from a few years ago that has to do with privacy and data. I uploaded it to Google NotebookLM, asked the software to create a podcast and listened to it on the 15-minute drive to my constituency office. Let me just see if it’s still on my phone. It’s amazing when you hear it. I’ll connect to a speaker."
If you still believe Carney is focused on what the population wants...
After cancelling the carbon tax After cancelling the digital service tax After cancelling the capital gains tax After asking the government to cut 15% of its expenses (after promising not to cut jobs) After forcing the flight attendants to forgo their right to strike
... And I'm not even talking about Israel, Palestine, the US
I don't care if he's playing 4D chess. I believe what he has done and said so far
Shouldn't it be a Crown inquiry into the #wagetheft and #exploitation of Canadians in the industry?
If the government is truly aware of the allegations, then they know the allegations go back AT LEAST as far as the Harper government... that means it spans decades... let's hear from every single one of them.
Didn't the Canadian public just give Air Canada $5.9B in a covid bailout the year before their execs got these salaries in 2022?
From Ben Thomson on X: "Air Canada Executive salaries: CEO M.Rousseau: $12.38 Million CFO A.Kazzaz: $3.1 Million COO C.Landry: $2.93 Million CCO L.Guillemette: $2.74 Million Exec VP A.Meloul-Wechsler: $2.0 Million
Full-time entry-level AC flight attendant earns LESS than minimum wage (27k/year before tax)
CEO makes 458x more than entry-level flight attendant
Time for AC executives to take a large pay cut" #cdnpoli #AirCanada
Public health officials in Montreal confirmed a second person has died as a result of the extreme heat that has gripped the city over the past several days.
That time I questioned the CEO of #AirCanada on the CUPE Unpaid Work Won’t Fly Campaign! It’s about Values— The Carney Government shows a clear lack of values by ignoring workers’ rights. Flight attendants work unpaid on average one week each month due to a loophole in the labour code. This is wrong! They could easily fix this by reintroducing my Bill C-415 from the last parliament. It’s time they supported workers not just talk about it. #fediverse #canpoli #cdnpoli #flightattendant
Stephen Lautens: "Canada: Walk away from negotiations. Don't retaliate. Diversify. Find new markets. Buy European military equipment. Reinstate the digital services tax. Let Americans pay more for the things they want from us. Keep up the public boycott. Welcome American refugee talent. Be Canadian." #cdnpoli
"Long before Prime Minister Mark Carney made sweeping election promises of harnessing artificial intelligence to boost productivity in the federal bureaucracy, AI programs were hard at work in the public service.
Whether it’s tax questions, addressing Phoenix pay issues, translation services, or drafting documents, it seems there’s an AI bot for that.
In fact, the annual report about the federal public service itself was developed with the help of generative artificial intelligence."

"Last month, PSPC’s Translation Bureau launched an AI translation tool prototype called PSPC Translate, spokesperson Jullian Paquin confirmed to The Hill Times.
The prototype was designed after a “noticeable decline” in translation request volumes, which suggested employees were using external translation tools like Google Translate and DeepL, an AI translation tool, Paquin said.
“To address this, the Translation Bureau sought to provide a secure, high-quality alternative that reflects Canadian linguistic standards and ensures data confidentiality.”
The tool is not intended to replace human translators, but to support the day-to-day communication needs of employees, and to reduce reliance on “unvetted external platforms," Paquin said."
I’m very disappointed in Carney, he’s actually a Conservative. I don’t think Poilievre would have been better, but at least I wouldn’t have been lied to.

April 4 : Carney pledges $150M boost to 'underfunded' CBC
July 16: Suggest your own 15% spending cuts, Carney government tells CBC #cdnpoli
'Mark Carney, who knows more about the climate change than any other prime minister we've ever had, still is talking pipelines and has never stopped talking pipelines. This is moral and economic madness.'
Make no mistake. This is a USA automaker and oil company hit job on the independence and sovereignty of the Canadian economy.
They are trying to reverse the inevitable so they can continue their own businesses as usual for as long as possible.
It can't be allowed to happen. Canada is already lagging far behind other nations. Our Economy and our Society and our burning forests, will suffer if our government gives in to this pressure.
CBC celebrates Canada Day with a column from a separatist Calgary oil&gas worker who protested at Coutts during the pandemic. #cdnpoli Gord says he read smalldeadanimals every morning - a rw blog that boosted the convoy & Poilievre. cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/gor…
City council, the mayor, borough councils, borough mayors, #assnat, MNAs, MPs, #hoc, etc. have known this for a while... you'd think something/anything would've been said and done BEFORE June, right?
Right?
Nope, not in Montréal. Not in Québec.
Lip service, only. juste pour la forme, seulement.
Sen Paula Simons @Paulatics on the Senate passing Bill C-5 today w/o amendments bc they were "painted into a corner": #cdnpoli
"If we had made amendments, it would either require all the MPs to come back from their summer vacation and make the PM very unhappy, or we would have to wait until September ... and the PM had made a commitment the bill would be passed by July 1."
Wow. Solid majorities in the Liberals (60%), NDP (69%) & the Bloc (78%) all oppose Mark Carney using #BillC5 to override environmental regulations for fast-tracked projects.
Half still want proper ecological assessments; two-in-five in Quebec demand provincial input June 26, 2025 – The fast track on projects deemed in the national interest is well on the way to being paved.
Lobbyists and apologists and landlords who endeavour to gouge/justify the gouge, etc. w/ most landlords looking to pay their OWN mortgages, car payments, travel, etc. can f*ck a duck.
Montréal asking rents up nearly 71% in six years, according to Statistics Canada:
Trust me, if it happened in Ontario, it happened here in Québec, and across Canada! Corporate lobbyists and apologists for corporate landlords and investors are trying to say they're not to blame for the housing crisis.
If you're a landlord renting out a property for 3x-5x what it would've rented for ~5 years ago, you're the problem, too.
And you should be ashamed of yourself.
Your tenant shouldn't pay all your bills w/ the rent they pay...
