Throwing billions in public money behind a pipeline at a time of climate breakdown – while sweeping aside environmental protections, meaningful Indigenous consultation and workers’ right to strike – is absolutely not in the national interest.

What a country builds with public money is a statement of what it values. We must build for those already living through fires, floods, and extreme weather—not for the balance sheets of companies unwilling to risk their own capital on a new pipeline.

Why are Indigenous people now being subjected to levels of overt hostility and racism unseen in decades? One chief recently told me he was denied entry into a store for being “Indian”.

Cuba poses no threat to anyone. It has no drones, no missiles, and no nuclear bombs. It's another lie to manufacture unilateral approval for an invasion. The world should imprison these terrorists. #cdnpoli

"Canada strong", "national interest", "sovereignty", "Orange Scary Bad Man" -- all propaganda to get Canadians to accept the erosion of climate protections, food security, labour rights, Indigenous rights, the public sector, and public ownership. And all working very well indeed.
He’s using “in the national interest” the same way premiers have used the notwithstanding clause to violate rights. He legislated a bill specifically to do this.

in advance of the National Day of Truth & Reconciliation I spoke to Kimberly Murray & Connie Walker about their efforts to raise awareness about this looming destruction, which survivors may not even know is happening next year. read it today at @thenarwhal.ca:
More than 38,000 residential school survivors testified to the abuse they experienced as children. Next September, Canada plans to destroy their records.
Canada plans to destroy thousands of residential school testimonies. These women are trying to save them
The 38,000 testimonies are the largest body of evidence about children’s experiences in these institutions. Journalist Connie Walker and lawyer Kimberly Murray say losing it would mean losing history — both painful and illuminating

Canada is preparing to spend tens of billions building a pipeline the oil companies themselves won’t finance.
If this project made economic sense, industry would be leading it. Instead, the public is being asked to take the risk while foreign-owned oil companies collect the returns.
