Jonathan Pedneault🟢GPC co-leader on Bluesky

As a former journalist and Green Party co-leader, I know accountability starts with answering tough questions. Democracy thrives on transparency, not silence. Anyone who wants to lead should start by facing the press.

PS: Applies to you too, Pierre Poilièvre.

Canada’s safeguards are far weaker than they used to be. And during election time, having a robust and reliable information system is essential.

From now until the election, MEO is leading a non-partisan, data-based election monitoring effort, at CDMRN.ca 🔗

After the 2016 U.S. election, the Media Ecosystem Observatory (@meo-cdmrn.bsky.social) found Canada was resilient to disinfo in 2019. But the landscape has changed.

This is not a game. This is serious.

When Canadian jobs are under attack, the NDP will fight back.

Every single time.

Today, I’m headed to Windsor to meet with UNIFOR auto and auto parts workers who are the target of Donald Trump’s latest attacks.

An NDP government will defend the auto sector, protect Canadian jobs and make sure working families aren’t left behind.

Canadian workers built the auto industry – we won’t let American billionaires strip it for parts.

According to a new study by Ekos, Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre is projected to lose his seat in Parliament in Canada’s next federal election. Poilievre currently represents the Ottawa riding of Carleton.

The study finds the Liberals polling at 50%, followed by the Conservatives at 35% and the NDP at 7%. The Liberals are projected to win 251 seats, followed by the Conservatives with 90 seats.

According to 338Canada, the odds of a Liberal victory in the coming election are 97%.

Liberal Party leader Mark Carney now leads Pierre Poilievre in net favourability by 43 points.

Elbows up. Ontario Greens will work across party lines to defend Canadian workers, Canadian jobs and Canadian companies from these auto tariffs. This move will hurt workers in Ontario and the US. #onpoli

Articled published 2023-09-11.

Lobbyists for major oil, pharmaceutical, real estate and anti-union companies were elected to nearly half of the seats on the Conservative party’s top governing body at its convention in Quebec City.

Those elected don’t exactly represent the interests of “common people” whom Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has said he’s championing in speeches and ads rolled out in the past months.

In February, the Green Party unveiled their new logo, but if you missed it, you’re not the only one. In his latest for The Walrus, contributing writer @arnokopecky.bsky.social highlights a problem that has long plagued the party: their invisibility. thewalrus.ca/the-withering-of...

The Withering of the Green Party. Internal divisions and leadership challenges threaten the party's future. Can this election be different?

Koch Industries, Elon Musk’s X Corp., Loblaws, Enbridge, Pathways Alliance, the Canadian Gas Association, Rumble Canada, Rebel News, Canada Proud, and Facebook.

These are just a handful of the corporate interests and right-wing communications platforms linked to the inner circle of Pierre Poilievre and his federal Conservatives as Canada heads into a snap federal election scheduled for April 28.

Today DeSmog is publishing an interactive map illustrating, for the first time, the web of connections between federal lobbyists, political operatives, social media strategists, industrial polluters, tech giants, and the man who could become Canada’s next leader.

Poilievre has for years portrayed himself as a champion of the country’s blue-collar workers who comes from “humble origins,” claiming during a speech last year that “when I’m prime minister, my obsession — my daily obsession — will be about what is best for the working-class people of this country.”

Yet Poilievre and his party are linked to oil and gas companies that have made record profits from gas price inflation, grocery chains accused of price-gouging, and companies owned by the world’s richest man, Musk, a key figure in the Trump administration.

DeSmog's research documents the web of connections between the inner circle of Canadian politician Pierre Poilievre and his federal Conservatives to corporate lobbyists, political operatives, social media strategists, industrial polluters, and tech giants.

Stacked with Lobbyists

Using the map, it’s clear that the Conservative Party’s National Council, the party’s highest authority on governance matters, is a hotbed for corporate lobbyists. That isn’t a coincidence, as Conservative party members several years ago voted down a resolution barring lobbyists from the council, as The Breach reported.
