    In response to the US cuts to #PBS and public services, Canada should dedicate defence funding to the #CBC, #healthcare and the arts as our best national defence against the imperialists to the south. 5%+ on defence = spending on that which actually keeps us from becoming more Americanized (we just need to see these things as &amp;#39;defence&amp;#39;). #cdnpoli #Canada #yyj

    David Frum is correct. Canada shouldn&amp;#39;t negotiate with a bad faith partner. As painful as no deal will be, wait it out... #cdnpoli #boycottusa

    Yay! Avi Lewis, leader of Canada&amp;#39;s New Democratic Party, is the first federal party leader in Canada to be on the fediverse and to lead us away from oligarch social media platforms! As always, this will take us all to get involved and demonstrate leadership as a verb. 🫵✊️🧡 --- Avi Lewis, chef du Nouveau Parti Démocratique canadien, est le premier chef fédéral au Canada à être présent sur le Fediverse et à nous éloigner des plateformes de réseaux sociaux oligarques! 🫵✊️🧡 #cdnpoli #ndp @avil...

    To Canada&#39;s Green Party folks: the federal leader of Canada’s New Democratic Party, @avilewis@mstdn.ca, is on Mastodon. A good sign that at least one federal party leader sees value in the Fediverse &amp; a move away from the toxic oligarch stranglehold. Here&#39;s the friendly challenge 🤳 Call on the Canada&#39;s Green Party leader, Elizabeth May, to join the migration to Mastodon. 📧 Elizabeth.may@parl.gc.ca 📞 613 996 0850 | 250 657 2000 #cdnpoli #GreenParty #GreenPartyOfCanada

    Participating in an online session next week to discuss strategy and tactics. The model &amp;quot;campaign&amp;quot; we&amp;#39;re using is to get folks to use the Fediverse and specifically Mastodon. This graphic below is used to identify the players... Who are the decision makers? Who are the people involved? What is the competition? Etc. Question: Who should be the &amp;quot;constituency?&amp;quot; Everyone? People currently on oligarch platforms? Those on the Fediverse? #organizing #So...

    🌱 Congratulations to Emily Lowan, newly elected leader of the BC Green Party! She is now the first political party leader in Canada on Mastodon — a milestone for healthier, community-driven digital spaces. I look forward to seeing Emily share more here about expanding Mastodon adoption and supporting her MLAs as they join the Fediverse. Perhaps also a friendly challenge to other party leaders. @emilylowan @mlabotterell #yyj #Cdnpoli #Canpoli #GreenParty #BCPoli @Paulatics

    Why cancel the #F35 &amp;amp; buy the 🇸🇪 #Gripen? A big big reason gets missed. In July, 2025, a plane was &amp;quot;hijacked&amp;quot; at Victoria Airport (YYJ) &amp;amp; flown to Vancouver (YVR). The 🇨🇦 Air Force base was too far away, requiring Canada to call on the USA to respond. The #F35 requires centralized &amp;amp; specialized bases, which will likely only worsen this scenario in the 2nd largest country. The #Gripen can be based almost anywhere &amp;amp; thus be closer to airports like YY...

    Friends. I&amp;#39;ve been chatting with Avi Lewis about a presence in the Fediverse — Mastodon. They are getting closer to taking this step, &amp;amp; YOU are needed. Why does this matter? If we have wished that governments would leave corporate US social media capture, we need more champions. Polite appeals aren&amp;#39;t enough. Every new party leader in the Fediverse is a win for digital sovereignty, thus it is an act of defence &amp;amp; patriotism for #Canada, #Greenland, #Venezuela to mov...

    In the 2024 Saskatchewan provincial election, some NDP seats were won by razor-thin margins: Regina University (~176 votes), Saskatoon Westview (~263), Regina Walsh Acres (~300). Power/influence means aligning resources with needs. MLAs need re-election. Voters hold votes. In seats this tight, organized, visible constituents carry weight. If you want influence, organize where the margin is thin. #NDP #Cdnpoli #Saskatchewan @action_jay @smattymatty @leavex
