Parti Vert du Canada sur Bluesky

Quelqu'un d'autre a remarqué que les chefs des grands partis se déplacent en avion privé pour faire des discours sur leurs solutions aux changements climatiques? 🙃

Anyone else watching the big party leaders fly around in private planes making speeches about how they’ll fix climate change? 🙃

Today, I announced a middle class tax cut.

The NDP’s tax cut will save families over $1,450 a year by cutting taxes and permanently removing GST from daily essentials.

The ultra-rich have Liberals and Conservatives looking out for them — I’m in it for you.

Mark Carney, who was elected leader of the Liberal Party to replace Justin Trudeau just weeks ago, has called a snap election set for April 28.

In preparing for this pivotal election, we produced an election primer meant to provide a common framework for understanding the current political moment, one that people could engage with, debate, discuss, and be inspired to take action together.

We argued that we needed to both resist the rise of Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives, and to organize a broad-based movement to fight back against the corporate agenda and to build the Canada we want, both during the election and after.

Mental Gymnastics Meme walks Across "MPs doing their jobs in passing pr through multiparty support following the verdict of a citizen's assembly" Doing complicated gymnastics "Establishment politicians coming up with any excuse not to" "I will push bad faith arguments, tell you to give up, distract you with the instant-runoff ranked ballots and claim we need a referendum ensuring almost certain failure" "I have decided it's arbitrarily unconstitutional" "We need a second one just to be sure" "But the majority of the voting population didn't vote in favour of pr despite it technically winning the referendum"

Notice how the opponents to proportional representation in the media are often the wealthy. They have the money and influence to broadcast disproportionately their side of the argument. We must keep pushing for electoral reform as the future of Canada depends on it. We need to have a government elected with the most public support possible to deal with the real threats of annexation, as a unified country is much stronger in face of uncertainty.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh spent day three of the federal election campaign in Toronto, pinning the blame for the housing crisis in Canada on corporate landlords. He also admitted for the first time that his party is up against ‘massive challenges.’

Disinformation is the greatest threat to our democracy, according to the findings of Justice Marie-Josée Hogue, the commissioner of Canada's public inquiry into foreign interference.

But what even prompted the Foreign Interference Commission? What are the key takeaways from Justice Hogue's final report on Foreign Interference in Federal Electoral Processes and Democratic Institutions?

And how does America — specifically President Donald Trump, Elon Musk and social media platforms — affect Canada's information ecosystem and, ultimately, our country's sovereignty? Taylor Owen, the director of the Centre for Media, Technology and Democracy, explains.

Taiaiako’n-Parkdale-High Park - thank you for the warm welcome!

Across Canada, people are looking for change.

They’re looking for a government that will work for them - not the rich and powerful.

Together, with incredible candidates like @bhutilakarpoche.bsky.social, the NDP will deliver.

This federal election, let’s remind Canada: proportional representation means real democracy.

No more governments with all the power and less than 40% of the vote.

Help us deliver door hangers and spread the word!

Is the NDP suffering from "junior partner-itis," asks @davidmoscrop.com, where the party "get no kudos for the wins, but you get all of the criticism for the losses." At 8/11pm with @shachikurl.bsky.social (@angusreidinstitute.bsky.social), @lobbygrl.bsky.social & @jeyantvo.bsky.social #cdnpoli

A federal election is coming—and once again, our broken voting system could hand total power to a party with just 40% support.

@canadiangreens.bsky.social co-leader @elizabethemay.bsky.social cuts to the heart of the problem in this video.

Watch and share!

Who benefits most from proportional representation? Urban Conservatives and Prairie Liberals.

We’re not as divided as we think—we just need a voting system that stops distorting our democracy.

Since 2001, Ron Deibert and his team at the University of Toronto's Citizen Lab have uncovered dozens of covert spy operations around the world, including the creators of the phone hacking spyware, Pegasus, created by the Israeli company, NSO group, whose clients include Saudi Arabia's Mohammed bin Salman, and Rwanda's Paul Kagame.

In a wide-ranging discussion, Deibert tells host Steve Paikin about his recent trip to the White House, the impact that the Trump administration's policies will have on cyber security worldwide, and why Canadians ought to be concerned by a bilateral agreement with the U.S. called the Cloud Act.

His new book is called, "Chasing Shadows: Cyber Espionage, Subversion, and the Global Fight for Democracy."
