5 Ways to celebrate International Women’s Day that aren’t having bodily autonomy

BC Should End Costly Deals with Private Health Staffing Agencies | The Tyee Growing use of the contractors has pushed up costs and hurt morale.

Despite the claims from the usual austerity-minded commentators that the sky is falling and spending needs to be slashed, B.C. has a revenue problem, not an expense problem, writes @alonghurst.bsky.social. #bcpoli

I think anyone with a heart would be truly against fuelling an economy of militarism and genocide if they actually understood the human and environmental costs of war.

If you hear an eye witness account of Gaza right now, as I have recently heard, your blood will run cold. It's worse than you can imagine.

Inside the Canadian Christian Lobbying Group Pushing Anti-LGBTQ Policy ARPA lobbies in support conversion therapy and against gay marriage and transgender rights.

Christian Nationalists are actively pushing anti-trans laws in Canada.

I cannot stress enough how short and direct the connection is between abandoning values in favour of making deals with authoritarian regimes with awful human rights records, and now facing potential participation in an illegal and immoral war alongside Trump. This is where rationalizations get you.

Big week for Military Industrial Complex executives and investors. Lots of people about to make a lot of money off American taxpayers from Trump’s Iran War.

If they want me back they have to go fully Woke 2, sorry. Whole hog. I gotta be able to get an abortion there

Lloyd Axworthy: Canada once rejected America’s aggressive, unlawful foreign policy. Today Mark Carney embraced it By endorsing preventive strikes on Iran during ongoing diplomacy, and after Washington itself shredded the previous agreement, we are embracing the very doctrine we used to reject, writes Lloyd Axwort...

"In a world where preventive wars multiply and great powers act first and explain later, middle powers like #Canada will someday wish they had defended the #UNCharter when they still could."

THANK YOU!!!!!!

Trump’s attack on Iran violates UN rules Canada has agreed to uphold. It contradicts numerous values PM Carney claimed he supported in Davos. Endorsing illegality, violence, & destruction over dialogue and peaceful resolution is not what Canadians were promised, or support.

a change for the Iranian people will not be won by bombing them.
so disapointed by the support to USA here.

i mean why not? Danielle Smith did when she was a party leader!

this is deeply, deeply disturbing and racist.

The BC government says the budget has to be "tough" to tackle large deficits. But we can’t talk about deficits without talking about revenues. And BC’s revenue as a share of our economy is much lower than it was before the deep tax cuts of the early 2000s. #bcpoli #BCBudget2026

This is in Montreal, Canada. These fine folks showed up to protest GardaWorld (Garda) and their contracts with ICE.

would have been nice to see a funding injection prior to closing all those programs in Ontarios French universities. :(

I heard about a killing of a Black man in DC by US marshals on a call from someone in the neighborhood then saw it confirmed by the organization @harrietsdreams.bsky.social & here. A Black man in DC was killed by the state today. Make the same noise for him as for anyone else when we have his name.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.

Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

As a doctor, I know cutting health care for refugees hurts us all ⋆ The Breach Targeting the most vulnerable is a slippery slope toward weakening public health for all

Last week, the Canadian government announced cuts to the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP), the initiative through which hundreds of thousands of people in Canada are able to afford their health care.

I voted for #MarkCarney & think there a lot of things he is doing right, but this is not one of them. It doesn't serve #Canada to have people suffering because they can't afford healthcare. Yes, we need to preserve the system for Canadians, but we also need compassion when it comes to this. #cdnpoli

Agreeeeeee!!!
