Prime Minister Carney, silence is not an option when Trump attacks sovereign nations in the Americas. Canadians expect you to stand up for human rights, international law, and against the bullying of smaller nations by a rampaging superpower.

Instead of punching down at hardworking newcomers, we need to tax the rich and fully fund the universal public healthcare system that everyone in Canada deserves.
Just 3 days left to buy a membership and vote for the next leader of the NDP!
Something special is taking shape: sold-out town halls, waves of moving endorsements, thousands of volunteers, and countless conversations. Don’t just watch from the sidelines.

Mark Carney Knows the Old World Is Dying. But His New World Isn’t Good Enough.
Recommended read by @jeetheer.bsky.social
Canadian PM offered a radical analysis of the collapse of the liberal world order. His response to that collapse is unacceptably conservative.

Hey folks! Just 5 days left to renew or take out a membership in the NDP if you want to vote in the current leadership race. ICYMI 👇
Tbh this just saved Carney from himself, if he was still planning to accept (as he said he would) after giving that speech.
It would have looked like he immediately did something unpopular to appease Trump after giving a speech that suggested he plans to have more backbone than that.
🧵Canadian friends: if you want to vote for the next leader of the NDP, you have *just one week left* to buy a (cheap) party membership.
After that, there will be a big English debate and lots of media coverage, but it will be too late to have a say.
Only members can vote for leader.

There are only 7 days left to join the NDP to vote in the leadership race.
Don’t take it from me. Take it from the thousands who’ve joined this movement: we're building something big here. For the many, not the money!
Join by Jan 28 and help shape what comes next: https://avilewis.link/join
The powerful have their power. But we have something too: the capacity to stop pretending, to name realities, to build our strength at home, and to act together.
Am I the only one who didn’t like Mark Carney’s speech?
Its whole premise was that we need “stop pretending,” to “name realities,” yet somehow he doesn’t mention climate change even once.
And worse than that…

Great to see @avilewis.ca on The Rational National. Don’t forget to sign up for NDP membership by Jan 28th to vote for Lewis for Leader! #cdnpoli #bcpoli youtu.be/mt3xafCZo8w?...
The Liberals, Conservatives and the Bloc just voted unanimously to pass Bill C-12, which is not only a violation of the basic civil liberties of newcomers but also of international law, limiting access to protection for people fleeing violence, persecution, or death. (5/8)
More and more we see an urgent need for a mass movement to counter this embrace of authoritarianism. When the wealthy 1% tries to normalize a rhetoric of hate and division, we need to come together in solidarity and refuse to let them take away our democratic rights. (8/8)

NDP leadership hopeful @avilewis.ca wants to take some big swings.
But can his optimism and belief in huge progressive change overcome Canadian cynicism?
Today on Bubble Pop, we discussed all that and more (including photo evidence of his time with MuchMusic).
Here's a sneak peek:
🔥 The climate emergency hasn't gone away - it's here & now. But our gvts aren't acting with urgency.
Our 12-min video on the 6 Markers of Climate Emergency shows what real action looks like.

"Since the April election, federal officials have recorded more than 220 meetings with oil and gas lobbyists — more meetings than days. The immense lobbying push was reflected in the federal budget, and continues to shape federal priorities."
So, @davidebybc.bsky.social thinks @mark-carney.bsky.social's pipeline is a distraction from more effective ways to cook the planet. Remember that BC govt admits fracked gas exported as LNG is as bad as coal for climate, AND LNG competes with solar thetyee.ca/News/2025/11... #bcpoli
Statement by Steven Guilbeault This afternoon, it is with great sadness that I submitted my resignation to the Prime Minister as Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture and Minister responsible for Official Languages, Minister of Nature and Parks Canada, as well as his Lieutenant in Quebec. As you know, I chose to enter politics to champion the fight against climate change and the protection of the environment. Over the past ten years, our country has made historic progress in reducing climate pollution, protecting nature and the environment, while our economy continued to grow. I believe I have contributed to these advancements, and I remain deeply proud of the achievements I have helped bring forward: • Standing up to tech giants and major polluters • Implementing Canada's first emissions reduction plan, slowing their growth and placing them on a downward trajectory • Establishing the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation • Modernizing the Canadian Environmental Protection Act • Developing the country's first national climate adaptation strategy to protect our communities • Eliminating harmful single-use plastics • Implementing the most ambitious nature conservation plan in the country's history • Continuing the modernization of the Official Languages Act • Making historic investments in arts and culture, including during the COVID-19 crisis and in the most recent budget Changes in our relationship with the United States have led to profound disruptions affecting the global order, diplomatic relations, and the economy. I understand and share the Prime Minister's efforts to ensure our country
First, there was no consultation with the Indigenous nations of the West Coast of British Columbia or with the provincial government, who would be greatly affected by this agreement. Furthermore, a pipeline to the West Coast would have major environmental impacts, particularly as it could cross the Great Bear Rainforest, contribute to a significant increase in climate pollution, and move Canada further away from its greenhouse gas reduction targets. Lifting the tanker ban on the West Coast would also significantly increase the risk of accidents in the region. This moratorium was established in 1972 following a unanimous vote in the House of Commons, notably because navigation in the Hecate Strait is highly dangerous. Its removal would also hinder the creation of a marine conservation area in the Great Bear Sea, a project our government has been actively developing with Indigenous partners and the government of British Columbia for several years, protecting more than 100,000 km of this ecologically sensitive region. We cannot hope to decarbonize our economy without decarbonizing the electricity sector. The proposal to exempt Alberta from the Clean Electricity Regulations in exchange for stricter industrial carbon pricing rules and the Pathways project is, in my view, a serious mistake. As shown in the analysis submitted to the House of Commons, without this regulation, the electricity sector-which has halved its pollution over the past 20 years-would return to an upward emissions trajectory. This regulation also saves lives by reducing air pollution, generates over $3 billion in healthcare savings, and ultimately reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 182 million tonnes.
Finally, over the past few months, several elements of the climate action plan I worked on as Minister of the Environment have been, or are about to be, dismantled: the consumer carbon pricing, the Zero Emission Vehicle standard, the oil and gas sector emissions cap, the framework to eliminate fossil fuel subsidies, and the Clean Electricity Regulations. In my view, these measures remain essential to our climate action plan. I want to express my sincere gratitude to the citizens of Laurier-Sainte-Marie for the trust they have placed in me since 2019. I will continue to represent them as their Liberal Member of Parliament with dedication. I also thank the Prime Minister for the honor of serving in his cabinet and as his lieutenant in Quebec. When I entered politics, it was because I had a deep conviction that I could make a difference in fighting climate change and protecting our environment. My commitment to leaving a better world for the future of our children and our planet remains unchanged. Steven Guilbeault Member of Parliament for Laurier-Sainte-Marie
Trudeau-era environment minister Steven Guilbeault has published a resignation letter detailing the reasons for his departure from Carney's cabinet.
He directly cites today's MOU:
And this pattern is growing. Their budget ignored the ongoing genocide of Indigenous women, girls and diverse gendered folks, neglected sexual and reproductive health care, offered nothing to secure pharmacare agreements, cut health funding for refugees, and pushed border legislation that women’s organizations warn will undermine privacy and safety around reproductive care. If we abandon fundamental human rights abroad, we invite the erosion of those rights at home. The Liberals must reverse course and uphold these rights unequivocally. People across Canada expect and deserve nothing less. Leah Gazan, Winnipeg Centre

Friends, can I ask a favour.
Our latest Honest Government out is a serious warning to Canada from Australia, which acts as a cautionary tail about the harms of the gas (LNG) export industry... Hence the cameo (spoiler alert) from our own aussie climate criminals, Woodside Energy

I am so willing to pay a bit more tax for youth bus passes and bike & roll infrastructure. However, I am concerned that the police budget seems to keep taking a bigger and bigger slice of the pie. More police and bylaw officers is not an effective or ethical response to homelessness. #yyj
This budget hurts people.
40,000 jobs cut.
Services cut.
Indigenous services gutted.
Nothing for the environment.
But American big-tech billionaires? They get tax breaks.
We can still fix this. Mark Carney can still amend this budget and choose fairness.
