    I'm looking for a 25% wealth tax/year on families worth more than $200m, 5% when they're down to $78m.

    California is pondering a 1-time 5% tax on families worth us$1.1b. 60% of NY residents (not just NYC) favour free, universal childcare until pre-K, with an explicit tax on the rich to fund it.

    So, I want wayyy more, to end the 1%.

    So in comparative politics
    when we examine things elsewhere
    and how them folks contend with them
    And examine similarities and differences with here
    And seek greater wisdom about dealing with things that are literally here
    Even though such wisdom is critical for us to deal with our fascism...
    We shouldn't use local hashtags.

    I see.

    Nothing?

    Maple Maga
    Fascism
    Carney's surveillance legislation
    Xenophobia
    White supremacy
    White patriarchy
    Patriarchy
    Trudeau deporting 2m foreign students and workers

    Nothing?

  6. The bcndp says districts can pick up funding to protect and enhance vulnerable people's basic human rights.

    Yeah. But we all know right now which districts absolutely will not.

    Also, stop fucking downloading costs to lower levels of government, you right wing nasties.

  8. Langford parents call out B.C. funding cut for 2SLGBTQ+ anti-bullying program
    goldstreamgazette.com/2026/07/

    The ministry...said ARC’s funding has been reduced over time as part of the province’s “commitment to responsible expenditure management.”

    Oh totally

    And that has been the sentiment in the c/a/n/a/d/a project for 17 months now, worse, that Carney pretended to be with us, and it turns out he's Maga. Who knew?

    ... Other than fucking everyone who knew he was a conservative

  11. @verobeeee
    Thanks for speaking out. I voted against my MP Jagmeet Singh partly because he broke the coalition with Trudeau’s
    Liberal Government while under threat from Poilievre’s Conservatives.

    Since then, none of my emails to my new #Burnaby #LiberalMP #WadeChang, whom my wife and I voted for, have received an actual reply.

    Only an automated email stating “Due to the high volume of emails we receive, we sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding”, then silence for months.

    This is not how democracy works. Liberals were not “gifted” a mandate to change the course of our entire country for decades to come, no matter how high their perceived threat of Trump.

    #ClimateChange is a real and present threat that will last for generations to come. #Trump’s fascist regime is temporary and will fizzle out under the might of steadfast Americans fighting for truth, justice and their constitution.

    We need not sacrifice our future generation’s environment for an inconsequential, childishly reactive old bully.

    I honestly do appreciate your response, as I suspect there are a few other liberal supporters who do not align with Mark Carney’s ambitions.

    It does help to hear from one who disagrees. Thanks for your ethical clarity, I commend your actions of defunding and resigning.

    I too will be continuing my support of the NDP next election (as I’ve done for years before Poilievre), which almost can’t come too soon at this point.

  13. Hey, 4 #skipthedishes discount codes, expiring at the end of July.

    Not sure if they work outside southwest bc?

    I'm not a fan of gig economy worker exploitation where at the very least, people aren't guaranteed a living wage, let alone minimum wage. But if you're using them, save some cash.

    These came with #hellofresh, so if anyone gets them in August, post them?

    Is there simply a dark red line around the whole country to signify the fascist federal government is deranged and a threat to this group, and others?

    Ummm:

    "The lawmakers threatened that the United States may send its agencies into Canada to manage the problem if Canadian officials don’t address it more vigorously."

    Another flavour of invasion threat.

    "The world would be a much better place if everyone understood that manipulators do not use language the same way normal people do. Normal people use language to communicate and connect, while manipulative people use language to control and extract." - #CaitlinJohnstone

    This explains soooooooo much!

    Social stigma stokes stubbornness.

    And people die.

    Reach out to your people, with love and empathy.

    Too many people lack loving people in their corner, but it's only because we don't make ourselves known.

    Also, mental health supports should be free, in #Medicare.

  22. @atomicker
    I’ve personally witnessed this #Liberal government spraying #Roundup herbicide only a few metres from Brunette Creek (a protected waterway) which leads to a local wetlands area here at the #TMX terminus in #Burnaby.

    After installing the TMX expansion, they noticed the Japanese Knotweed over growing the area, threatening their new pipeline.

    Their “solution” has been to attack the local ecosystem to protect their pipeline at all costs to the environment.

    I have no doubt the removal of pesticide regulations is in part connected to #MarkCarney clearing the way for new “National Interest” projects forced through inhospitable areas.

    Environmental Regulations aren’t respected as protective guardrails by this Liberal Government, they are only regarded as barriers to success in ramming through environmentally destructive projects.

    Removing these regulations only benefits big business interests and offloads the resulting cost on local communities.

  23. @thetyee so Liberals in BC will continue to overrun the bcndp, which will make it a solid right wing party.

    Then sooooo many currently in the bcndp will realize that the BC Greens are the ecosocialist party they thought they were supporting in the bcndp. And move.

  25. The Light We Cannot See (2022)

    Taken on a brisk and cold morning in February, I managed to catch the first moments as the sunlight lit the tops of the trees during sunrise, leaving the rest of the landscape a blue from the cold frosting of the evening.
